    Raymond Cloosterman - Rituals and the Happiness Challenge

    Raymond Cloosterman - Rituals and the Happiness Challenge

    My friend Raymond Cloosterman, Founder and CEO of Rituals, is my guest on this episode of Slo Mo. Raymond founded Rituals, now one of the fastest growing cosmetics companies in the world, in 2000. Like its namesake, Rituals creates product lines inspired by ancient self-care traditions, offering an exclusive range of affordable and quality products that make meaningful moments out of daily routines like bathing, shaving, moisturizing, and drinking tea. Needless to say, Raymond is an incredible entrepreneur with his heart and vision in the right place, and his insights into how to build a successful, and happy business, are invaluable.

    Nearly 3,000,000 people walk into a Rituals store every week. We are immensely proud to announce that after months of hard work with the incredible team at Rituals, we've co-created the 14-day Happiness Challenge. Working with such a massive audience and such an influential company has given One Billion Happy one of its greatest surges ever.

    • Raymond’s story on building Rituals from his garage to thousands of locations globally
    • His inspiration to build the brand, which became "his baby"
    • How to stay resilient as an entrepreneur (even if you literally get robbed)
    • How happiness pervades Rituals as a company and brand
    • How consuming a product or food with awareness actually makes it more effective
    • Whether success actually increases our happiness

    Bonus Minisode: Kalology -- Your Letters

    Bonus Minisode: Kalology -- Your Letters

    As a companion to Kalology (BEAUTY STANDARDS) Alie reads your thoughts about appearance and beauty culture in this, a bonus minisode. You wrote in about how make-up is a creative outlet, how beauty standards can be an oppressive time suck, about hairy pits and culture clashes, money burdens, appearances in different professions, trans and non-binary perspectives, and what you wish the next generation did differently. Y'all made Ol' Ward tear up more than once, and it's an honor to share your stories.

    Kalology (BEAUTY STANDARDS) with Renee Engeln

    Kalology (BEAUTY STANDARDS) with Renee Engeln

    We love it. We hate it. BEAUTY CULTURE.

    Looking good can make us feel decorated, empowered and more confident -- but why?

    And why are certain groups subtly told to "make-up" for their appearance?

    What's the line between self-care and oppression?

    Psychologist and beauty-researcher Dr. Renee Engeln shines a huge bright floodlight on the sometimes ugly machinery of the billion-dollar beauty and "fitness" industry. This is an episode for make-up lovers, haters and the millions of us confused about being both at once. It's also an opportunity for dudes to learn just how how skewed the standards are. Buckle up -- this ologist will change the way you see the world, others and hopefully, yourself.

    Cosmetology (GLAM/GROOMING) with Alysha Sherri Marcantonio

    Cosmetology (GLAM/GROOMING) with Alysha Sherri Marcantonio

    Skin care! Beard care! History! Grooming! Men's concealer! Make-up! And most importantly: what is self-confidence and where does it come from? The incredibly charming Alysha Marcantonio has been Alie's make-up artist for years and stepped in the booth to dish about HOW IN THE HECKERS she always has perfect skin (Alysha, not Alie), what it's like to hear all the gossip on set, creature prosthetics vs. glam squad and why beauty truly does come from the inside. Emotionally and from a molecular level.
