Mona Kattan - Founder of Huda Beauty Shares the Secrets of Running a Family Business

I had the pleasure of talking to Mona Kattan, someone who is very experienced in powershifting. Mona co-founded Huda Beauty with her sister in 2010 after she saw a gap in the market, and it quickly turned into a family business as they added in other family members to the team.

Mona says Huda Beauty emphasized inclusivity before it was popular and made it a point to represent women of color in the beauty industry. Huda Beauty is now a BILLION dollar company, and as if that wasn’t enough, she also started a perfume brand called Kayali.

We talked about:
0:00 Start
0:29 Powershifting to different industries
3:13 Creating a family business
7:53 Finding your “why”
11:29 Growing your business online
