She got fired from the one that carried her name and on the day her non compete ended – launched Jones Road
This week, I’m sitting down with the one and only Bobbi Brown, founder, entrepreneur, and industry pioneer, for an honest conversation about ownership and starting again.
She built a global brand, sold it at 37, stayed for over two decades, and was eventually pushed out. What followed was a 25-year non-compete and a completely new chapter.
At 63, she launched Jones Road Beauty with six products, no outside investors, and a very different approach.
We talk about the reality of selling your name, the lessons behind building something at scale, and what it means to create something that’s truly yours the second time around.

📈 The difference between building something big and owning it
🔥 Why getting fired became a turning point
