We celebrate disruption. The breakout brand. The bold founder. The company that changes everything.
But what happens after the spark catches fire?
In this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau sits down with Dakota Kate Isaacs, an award-winning brand builder who was the first U.S. employee at DECIEM, the company behind the globally recognized skincare brand The Ordinary.
Dakota helped scale the business across North America, expanding into more than 2,500 retail locations. She worked closely with founder Brandon Truaxe, often called The Great Disruptor, during a period that reshaped the beauty industry through radical transparency and accessible pricing.
Now executive producer of the feature documentary The Abnormal Beauty Company and Head of Brand Strategy and Narrative at Quince, Dakota reflects on what it takes to turn bold ideas into sustainable growth.
She also shares how her platform, The Big Sister Playbook, translates leadership lessons into practical guidance for emerging professionals navigating modern ambition.
This episode is energizing, practical, and inspiring for founders, brand builders, and anyone ready to scale their next big idea.
