Description
In this solo episode of The AHA! Moment Podcast, Angelina reflects on her unforgettable experience meeting legendary beauty mogul Bobbi Brown at the Jones Road Beauty store during her book signing for Still Bobbi.
From redefining beauty standards in the 1980s to walking away from her billion-dollar namesake brand — and launching Jones Road Beauty decades later — Bobbi’s story is a masterclass in authenticity and evolution.
Angelina unpacks Bobbi’s journey from makeup artist to industry icon, the lessons hidden in her comeback, and what it reveals about your own power to begin again — at any stage, and in your own way.
