Estée Lauder

This is my third time reading this book. It gets better every time I read it. This episode is what I learned from rereading "Estée: A Success Story" (https://a.co/d/b9MThPy) by Estée Lauder. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger said it was a crime that more business schools didn't study Henry Singleton. I think it's a crime that more entrepreneurs don't study Estée Lauder. She is one of the best founders to ever do it. This is the story of how she went from a childhood obsession, to a single counter in a beauty salon, to a multibillion dollar empire. https://www.founderspodcast.com/ Full Transcript and Show Notes: https://www.founderspodcast.com/episodes/75017039/senra-361-estee-lauder David Senra: https://x.com/FoundersPodcast?s=20
