Hayley and Lauren, welcome to Most Powerful Women.

We've been talking about making this happen for a very long time, so it's a real thrill to have you both here.

There's a lot to talk about.

I want to start with the acquisition, which Claire just alluded to in the introduction.

It was massive, it was a juggernaut,

it made headline news, and you launched it in 2022 and then you sold it to Elf Beauty three years later.

So Hayley, what convinced you at that moment that selling was the right step rather than continuing independently?

Because you were doing pretty well independently.

I think for me it was really about it feeling like the right home for road and I think that

a really good partner and a really good home for an acquisition is very rare to come by.

I've heard a lot of stories from founders that had gone through acquisition and

had regrets and were not super happy with you know where their brand went

and so I went into it with a with a mindset of really wanting to know

that road was going to be safe where it was going

and knowing that the opportunity instinctually felt right and i think

that at the moment where we were as a brand we were approaching launching in sephora

and i think having elf as the partner behind us to really help accelerate

that growth and hold our hands as a brand

and be like we know how to do this we've done

it before we want to be great partners to you guys in this next step

and this next phase

and also just their sheer genuine love appreciation support for all the founders of all the businesses

that they've acquired prior um they really just made me feel safe knowing

that they were going to protect road and be a great partner

and i felt like i wasn't going to find

that ever again what does feeling safe when you're talking about road look like

and feel like to you where there are a couple of tangible things that you specifically had to be sure of?

Yeah, I mean, I think the safety feeling is

that they really made me feel like they wanted to just be a support to Rode.

They told me, we don't want to come in.

We don't want to change anything.

We really want you to continue operating exactly how you are.

In fact, we want to have you increase your role inside the company.

We really want to make sure you're just as hands -on, if not more, which I actually am now since the acquisition.

and they really wanted to make sure that I felt supported as a founder

and they explained and told me in detail how they've supported every other founder of every other brand

that they'd acquired and what they do and how they do it and I just, again, I think you have to trust that

and you have to follow your instinct and instinctually I felt

that they were going to be a really good place for Road to go.

And Lauren, you

and Hayley work incredibly closely together

you're also very close personal friends um did you two agree at the same time

that selling was the right option

and also was there a strong argument against not selling

that you had to work through as a team yeah i mean i think for both hayley

and i road is our baby um we've poured our lives over the last five six years into it

so i think we felt like the sky's the limit with road

and there was so far that we could go

but we had a small mighty nimble team

and we felt like we had taken it as far as we could with that team.

And we really needed the infrastructure of a bigger partner to scale globally.

Haley always talks about, you know, wanting to take a road to more spaces,

faces, and places, and being able to tap into the infrastructure of Elf

and have them sort of supercharge the business and allow us to scale globally, I think was really important to both of us.

So I think we sort of decided at the same moment that it was the appropriate time.

Was there anything you were worried about?

Either of you?

I would say for me, the worry was that it wasn't the right decision.

I mean, I think you have to have those conversations

and think about the what -ifs but what was nice is I think me

and Lauren and her husband who's our other co -founder really felt very confident

and were in agreement that this was the right move

and this was the right moment and I think

when you have the synergy of all feeling good about it also makes the decision seem even more right

and I think there's concern potentially that

if you're acquired the acquires going to sort of start meddling in the business

or they're going to direct the way that you should move forward

and i think elf were very clear

we're not going to fix what's not broken

you guys are doing an incredible job

you have a secret special sauce sort of you have a unique path

we just want to sort of supercharge the back end

and let you guys do what you do best you know keep your marketing

and creative integrity and keep building like you guys are

and hayley you said you're actually more hands -on

now than you were prior to the acquisition i think we'd be really interested to know

which decisions post acquisition are still exclusively yours to make.

I mean, pretty much all of them.

Like they really, everything that they said before we were acquired, they have stuck to a hundred percent.

They have really just let us fly and let us continue to make every decision.

And of course we

now incorporate them in decisions and we speak about everything

and they're really so amazing

and always on board i think the way

i'm more involved is like my role got bigger

i'm now a strategic advisor to all of elf beauty at large as well which is really cool and really fun

what does that look like what does

that role look like as of right now it's just talking about some of their product

and you know suggesting product that i could see for them

and any question they have for me they can come to me

and ask me hey what do you think about this product will you test this for us

so that's been fun for me too

because i get to kind of you know be helpful any way i can to to elf too um

and then my role expanded into chief creative officer

which i i wasn't that title before although i was still in all of the creative

and all of the product development I'm still even more

so just really like have dove into that was my one fear really was

that I would sell my company

and then they were going to say okay we're going to put this person in

100

and this person in and then we want to make the team bigger around product development

101

and that I would start feeling like I didn't have as much say

102

and I feel like I actually have just as much as I did before

103

and I'm so intricately involved because like Lauren said it's my baby

104

It's our baby.

105

We've grown it from literally day zero ground up.

106

And I told

107

Elf all of my concerns from the beginning.

108

I said, I couldn't imagine not being intricately involved.

109

And they were like, oh my gosh, we want you to be more involved if you want to.

110

And that to me, I was like, I feel like you never hear that from an acquirer,

111

that they want you to be like so in it as you were before, and if not even more than you were before.

112

So it really has been genuinely the dream scenario

113

they are such a dream partner I really couldn't be happier with selling early in the brand's trajectory

114

or the goal for you too or was it something

115

that evolved it was never even

116

it was of course always a future conversation of maybe

117

that's where we're gonna go there's a lot of different paths you can take

118

so you don't really know and I think

119

because the opportunity kind of took us a little bit by surprise I don't think

120

that we thought maybe it was gonna happen right at that time did they come to you you allowed to say that?

121

I don't think we're going to get into how it came.

122

I'm going to say who went to who,

123

but yeah, I don't think we at that moment were thinking this is what we're going to do right now.

124

But again, like Lauren said, I think wanting to supercharge the business and launching into retail, it just, it feels good to have

125

that security behind you of a company who really is

126

so great at what they do and can come in and support the infrastructure.

127

And road is really only just getting started

128

and the company says

129

it wants to pass a billion dollars in net sales huge

130

in fiscal 2026 road did roughly 390 million in net sales

131

which was an 80 percent increase on the year before

132

so what has to go right now to hit that target

133

that you've set for yourself

134

that one billion dollar figure I mean I think we need to we've proven

135

that we can be successful at retail and we need to keep doing

136

that so we we entered Sephora in the US last September

137

and we're actually the number one brand in all of the retail geographies that we're in.

138

So Sephora US, Sephora UK, Mecca, and Australia.

139

And we just had an explosive launch into Sephora EU a couple of weeks ago.

140

In 19 new markets?

141

In 19 new markets, over 500 doors.

142

And we were the number one brand for Sephora EU.

143

And I think our first day of online sales for Rode

144

with Sephora EU actually surpassed the total Sephora EU Black Friday sales for the year prior.

145

So we've had an explosive launch into retail and I think we're going to continue to go strength to strength.

146

Lauren, we said in the introduction that you describe Rhodes' marketing strategy as surround sound.

147

I did have to Google that, obviously that's native to you guys.

148

So for anyone who doesn't know, it's a modern approach to marketing that doesn't rely on buying traditional ad space necessarily.

149

And actually this morning I was on Instagram

150

and organically a video came up of a tram somewhere in Europe wrapped in the Rhodes logo

151

but I'm interested in how you measure the ROI of that strategy

152

because traditional advertising has click -through rates you know

153

you have viewer figures what's your metric for success yeah

154

I don't think we really talk about ROI um we don't sit in meetings

155

and look at the return on investment no we don't

156

I think we built the brand in an incredibly organic way

157

and I think what was really important to Haley from the from the beginning was to build

158

this world of road that was not transactional.

159

That was really a one -to -one connection with our consumer.

160

Both Haley and I are not from a traditional beauty background.

161

I mean Haley was a big model in the fashion industry and my background was more in fashion and retail.

162

I worked at Reformation and Michael Kors and

163

when we looked at the fashion landscape there's so many brands

164

that build a true emotional connection with their consumer through visual storytelling

165

and visual language and we felt like in the skincare and beauty industry there was white space.

166

to do the same and to build a brand that really connected with consumers.

167

So the way that we approach world building

168

and this surround sound tactic is we're really trying to connect with our consumer and create desire.

169

I mean, the world of road, which we talk about, is sort of this extension of Haley's personal world.

170

It's aspirational, but accessible.

171

It's fun.

172

It's sexy.

173

It's playful.

174

And we really focus on marketing tactics that that boost that world versus looking at ROI.

175

And what I'm really interested in the world of road because it's so powerful

176

So you alluded to what belongs in it?

177

What doesn't belong in the world of road?

178

Even if it would sell well, do you ever think of that?

179

I think for me, I really am not interested in overconsumption I think the beauty space is very very filled as it is

180

and the whole ethos of road from the beginning was this

181

idea of one of each thing done really well one of everything good which

182

that concept for me came from the idea of you know

183

your perfect pair of jeans the perfect white tee the perfect jacket your perfect moisturizer your perfect lip product

184

you know these these things that I was like

185

if I was going on a weekend trip what would I

186

need to have in my bag as somebody who has been working since I was 17 years old

187

and traveling on my own for many years what were the must -haves I needed to have you know

188

when I'm on the plane and landing straight to a job

189

and like what do I you know need to have in my skincare must -haves

190

and beauty must -haves and

191

that is still the true ethos today

192

I'm not interested in putting a bunch of stuff out

193

there just to put it out there I actually want to make things

194

that I need and I love and every single product

195

that we have put out has been something

196

that I'm like it's always in my bag it's always traveling with me

197

it's always part of my routine these really on the go

198

I love the idea of like on the go stuff the blushes for me

199

it's like i want to make things that you stick in your bag

200

and they're really easy to use on the go

201

when you're out simple skin care first approach has always really been true to me my entire life um

202

and also you know we were talking before about roi and

203

and these things and i'm like you know a conversation about margins hates to see me coming i'm always

204

I'm always in the meetings like, I'm not, this isn't like about money for me.

205

It's not about like, you know, and of course you want to have a healthy business and I care about having a healthy business,

206

but I'm somebody who doesn't like to compromise anything

207

that I want to do and what my gut is telling me to do

208

and that I believe in for the sake of margin, which maybe is like the wrong thing to say, but like that is true for me.

209

I really I guess that's a position you can be and

210

because you have that enormous platform going into the building of road

211

A hundred percent and I think that going into building a business and having a platform is a privilege

212

It's a privilege that I had going into it, but at the same time

213

It was really important for me for the team to know

214

that this is really about like product first consumer first like really wanting to know that the product is great,

215

the storytelling is great, the world building is great, and then I always just believed that the rest was going to follow

216

and it was going to come and that people would

217

fall in love with it because they fell in love with the world and the products.

218

And I mean, my whole thing is like a product first approach.

219

For me, the products have to be great.

220

And I really am like a skincare product fanatic and freak and always have been.

221

So I've just always been very forthcoming that I think

222

if we put great innovative go -to products into the world

223

that the rest was going to hopefully fingers crossed come

224

and follow and it has completely like totally exceeded my expectations I'm interested in this minimalist approach

225

because on the one hand it creates amazing FOMO and desire

226

but I imagine when you go into a retailer like Sephora they also need very reliable stock

227

and inventory so how do you balance FOMO with not disappointing customers who are in the stores

228

and it's all sold out well can I say one thing

229

I mean we're not like creating FOMO on purpose that's not

230

so I do think sometimes brands will do

231

that as like a strategy ploy it's not something

232

that we're doing on purpose it's just again we're creating drops

233

that we're just creating and adding to the world yeah

234

and I think inventory challenges have been something that's been present throughout Rode's history.

235

I think when we started the brand, the first six months of Rode, we only sold product.

236

We were only able to sell product for 11 days, which was actually a great challenge.

237

And then you sold out.

238

Right.

239

It was a great challenge for brand builders to try

240

and figure out how do you create an exciting brand for the first six months of existence

241

and only being able to sell product for 11 days. But...

242

we keep going sort of from strength to strength.

243

Take me into the conversations that happened at that 11 day mark when you were trying to figure out what came back.

244

Well, we're like, how do we keep creating excitement?

245

And I think it really did help us sort of strengthen as brand builders because we had to come up with new,

246

exciting, fresh ways to talk about the brand and to grow excitement while having no product to sell.

247

But, you know, even as recent as our summer launch with our bronzers, we did sell out of some of our,

248

you know, best selling SKUs from this summer launch.

249

So we've had to continue to work closely with Elf to scale our supply chain.

250

We're now, as of the last quarter, in seven new distribution centers across three different continents.

251

So we're working actively on building that supply chain to try and sort of eliminate some of those scarcity concerns.

252

I also think we really are learning as we go.

253

We've never been here before.

254

We've never done this before.

255

I think back to, you know, when we sold out after 11 days and then didn't have product.

256

It's like you have to just pivot and figure it out

257

and learn as you go and the amount of times that we've had to say,

258

you know, sorry to our community and we're going to do better next time.

259

And then we really do.

260

And we try to make it better for the next launch and the next launch and the next launch.

261

And every failure we've had has only made road better as we've continued to grow.

262

And then, you know, you have to take your mistakes and your learnings on the chin.

263

You have to.

264

And that was going to be my next question.

265

Is there any criticism of the brand that you've taken on

266

and you think it's really helped you get to the next level?

267

I do think with the inventory, I mean, as of this summer, selling out of some of these really popular SKUs.

268

I mean, I think we had had 160 ,000 new customers in the three months prior to that launch.

269

So when we sold out of some of our summer bronzers, I mean, we saw a lot of frustration from our customers online.

270

And we started to have conversations on, you know, internal and how can we quickly accelerate and, you know, grow our supply chain and expand.

271

And those are those conversations with Elf where they're helping us supercharge on the back end and,

272

you know, open new distribution centers and diversify our sort of raw supplier manufacturers.

273

So we're actively having those conversations.

274

And a lot of that is because of the sentiment we're seeing online from consumers.

275

And I also wanted to add to that too, like there's only so much predicting you can do of how well something's going to do.

276

Of course, we forecast as a company.

277

We think that we're going to do this much.

278

We think we're going to sell this many units.

279

And because the consumers are so incredible and amazing, it always exceeds what we thought it was going to be.

280

So that helps us with demand planning for the next time and the next time and the next time.

281

You know, obviously we don't want anyone to be frustrated and not be able to get their hands on it

282

We'd love for everybody to be able to get their hands on it.

283

That's the goal

284

So I think it's always just helped us learn and then demand plan better

285

It's unprecedented levels of customer growth and demand.

286

So we're we're trying to keep up I want to talk about morality for a second

287

So one of your first products is that phone case

288

Which I'm sure you have all seen with a little slot in it for your road lip gloss Lauren

289

and I caught up a couple of days ago and you said this thing to me which I've been thinking about,

290

which is you can watch hours of footage and immediately know the three seconds that are going to go viral.

291

So in 2026, I want to hear from both of you.

292

What makes something take off?

293

How do you think about the reality of marketing and product?

294

It's really hard to articulate,

295

but we did talk on the phone and I said that both Haley and I feel like a strength of ours is,

296

you know, our team can put together a minute long edit

297

and we can both say this is the three to five second clip that's really going to cut through and resume.

298

Can you give me an example?

299

Yeah, I mean, I think most recently, I can give an example a couple weeks ago, which is driven by Haley.

300

We have an amazing pop -up at the Champs -Élysées Sephora flagship in Paris.

301

And we have like this three -room pop -up that's amazing.

302

And we went to go tour it, and Haley gave a Q &A with store ambassadors there.

303

And in the middle of the pop -up, there's this big pink highlight milk statue of our product.

304

And we're touring, and Haley just climbs onto the statue

305

because we take a picture and she knows that's going to go everywhere and that's really going to resonate.

306

It's, I think, a perfect illustration of Haley's aspirationalness and her accessibility, which I think makes Haley so unique and makes

307

Rode very unique.

308

But I think that's an example of finding a moment, capturing it, and getting it up quickly

309

because I think something else to note is not just the quality of the content

310

and having a stickiness to the content that is interesting, but it's the speed with which you get something up.

311

You have to be first to market.

312

You don't have the time to go through layers of approval.

313

And if you don't get something up sort of in real time or that same day, the conversation's passed and it's moved on.

314

And I think that's one of our strengths at Road that,

315

you know, myself or our marketing team or our head of social can turn the phone to Haley.

316

We have a direct relationship with her and say, is this approved?

317

We don't need to wait for teams to say yes

318

or no. And that ability to connect with the consumer with sticky content quickly is, I think, sort of some of the secret sauce.

319

I also think a lot of things happen by accident.

320

I know that's probably annoying to hear and annoying to say

321

but There has been so many moments where we did not think something like the phone case for example

322

You didn't think it was gonna be that big.

323

I didn't I personally did not think that was gonna be as big as it was and as massive as it was.

324

I thought it was going to be an added accessory

325

that was going to be fun that I really didn't think it was going to take off the way that it did.

326

And we've had a lot of those moments that, again, I talk so much about following my gut and following my instinct.

327

And like she just mentioned, the big highlight milk statue and me going and climbing and sitting on top of it.

328

I'm like, I'm just out here living and having fun.

329

It's in me.

330

It wasn't for it.

331

Everything is kind of just like off of my instinct.

332

It's not this like overly meticulously like planned out plotted out thing a lot of the time

333

It's just something that happens really naturally and I think

334

that of course I feel really lucky that

335

that happens I think another example was like in Paris I went on this this talk show

336

and I was wearing like our new blush and everybody's like what's the blush?

337

And I'm like that's just something that happened really naturally and when you're Hailey Bieber Of course, of course.

338

But like I'm saying, it's not like these things are overly plotted and planned out.

339

I think as a team, we come together and we follow our instinct and we have conversations.

340

And we're like, let's do it.

341

Let's try it.

342

Let's go for it.

343

And yeah, I think that, like she mentioned, our team is so amazing.

344

We're able to execute really, really fast because we really do kind of build hype around things in the moment.

345

And I think we are able to make people really excited about things in the moment.

346

I also think we're really good at building anticipation and I think the anticipation also comes naturally because I'm really excited

347

So like my anticipation for people to get it.

348

I also think and hopefully

349

Hope translates to people that I'm so excited about it.

350

So then it gets them excited about it I want you to reflect back on the start of road.

351

So you are a hugely successful model

352

You still are a really high -profile figure

353

Do you feel you were immediately taken seriously as a founder or was it something that you had to work?

354

Do you feel that was a sense of having to prove yourself?

355

I don't think it was an immediate thing, no. I think people actually at the time were feeling very fatigued by celebrity brands.

356

And I went into it knowing that.

357

And I think because I went into it being like, I get it.

358

Like, nobody really is asking for this.

359

But I really want people to just give me a chance.

360

I have a different point of view.

361

And then really sticking to that and seeing it through is, I think, what ended up really resonating.

362

This is something that is so, it's really a real extension of my life and my world and the things that I love.

363

So I was really hoping that the biggest thing that came across was that it is actually very authentic to me.

364

Because I think people, the consumer today is just so smart.

365

They're so, so, so smart.

366

They don't care about the BS.

367

They see through it all.

368

This next generation, they don't care.

369

They don't care.

370

They're like, okay, seen it all, don't care.

371

I do think they really want to feel something that's real to someone

372

and authentic and feel that you care about it in a real way

373

Was there a moment when you felt the business community really takes you seriously?

374

Was there a moment when you felt it shift or was it was it a gradual gradual every single year?

375

I mean, I held my breath every single drop that we've done because I'm like, you know when the blushes came out I'm like

376

Nobody is asking for this.

377

Maybe nobody wants it.

378

Maybe nobody's gonna gravitate towards it

379

and luckily they have every single time and also we have products

380

that people like but they're not our most popular

381

and I've taken was there one

382

that didn't land quite as you thought it might I don't think there was one

383

that just didn't land period

384

but of course we have our most popular SKUs we have our least popular SKUs

385

and that's always just a learning for me to understand okay maybe this one wasn't the one

386

that everybody really loved the most and then I get to be able to take

387

that and be like okay so when I'm thinking about the next thing

388

or the next product that I think is really important in the lineup I take that into real serious consideration.

389

So millions of young women look up to you for many reasons

390

but as a beauty ideal and at a time

391

when social media seems to be in many ways narrowing

392

you know beauty ideals I mean I'm constantly logging on to Instagram

393

and being told I need to change my face

394

and a million ways I'm interested in how you think about your role as both a trendsetter

395

and a founder and it's road about broadening the ideal of what beauty can look like

396

or building a company around women wanting to look like you specifically?

397

I know it's a big question, but I think it's super interesting.

398

I think that for me personally, I'm inspired by so many other women, women that have come before me, women that are doing so many cool,

399

amazing things today, inspired by so many different women for so many different reasons.

400

But something that I do think that really matters is individuality

401

and authenticity and I am somebody who I do care about being authentic to myself

402

and I want to encourage other women to know that there's only one you, and that's important.

403

And, you know, I think the world of beauty is so cool because everybody relates to it differently, and everybody gets to play with it differently.

404

The way I play with makeup might be different the way that you do.

405

My skincare routine will be different to yours.

406

The products that I love may be different to what you love or anybody else in this room.

407

And that was something that really opened up for me

408

and opened my eyes coming into the beauty space is that the whole beauty world is really a community.

409

And it's really a space where people get to express themselves so many different ways.

410

And I think that's what creates a lot of individuality, especially in beauty.

411

But I'm somebody who, like, I love who I am.

412

And I love embracing who I am.

413

And I love embracing where I'm at in different moments.

414

And the things I was interested in at 19 as opposed to 29 are

415

so different and the way I treated my skin at 19 as opposed to 29 is so different.

416

The makeup I wore at 19 is

417

so different to what I do now at 29

418

and I think beauty is able to evolve with you through every single stage of your life

419

and your needs change and the things you want change

420

and I think beauty can really evolve with you

421

and that's kind of the message

422

that I want to continue speaking to young people about is like you can be exactly who you are right

423

now today and what you love you love today and just remember

424

that you're going to change and you're going to evolve

425

and beauty can evolve and change with you and on

426

that note how will road evolve because you started it

427

when you were a woman in in your 20s

428

and it very much captured

429

that lifestyle as you you're both

430

now mothers um as you go through your life stages as you both hit midlife is road going to reflect

431

that or is it always going to be skewed towards the younger woman i I'm at in my life.

432

I, you know, I think that's such an interesting question

433

because everything we've made so far is still the things I gravitate towards and the things I reach for.

434

But for example, like we have a new serum coming out, which I'm going to say, and I think I can talk about because,

435

because I can, but, but we have a new serum coming out in, in January that, you know,

436

is more geared towards, you know, like smart aging.

437

And, you know, as our skin changes, I'm turning 30 in November and I definitely can say that my my needs and my skincare routine

438

have changed since the day I launched road you know

439

when I launched road it was really focused on hydration

440

and peptides and now I'm kind of in a space where I need a little bit more active

441

so I do think that it's going to continue to evolve with the needs

442

that I see in my own personal life as well as I think

443

that will just continue to expand the age range for road

444

I mean our age range is pretty vast at this point

445

it ranges from very young to you know kind of really all ages older women

446

I would say like up into what like later 30s yeah and our target is really more

447

Gen Z and Millennial I actually told me this morning

448

that their male friends use your barrier cream

449

which is what I love you have male customers a hundred percent

450

and also I mean I think we definitely are geared towards more towards women and but it

451

It was always meant to be unisex.

452

It was supposed to always be meant just for everyone and anyone who wants to use it.

453

There was never supposed to be, it was never supposed to be geared towards any gender at all.

454

But I really do think that, again, I'm going to continue to go off of my instincts and

455

continue adding to the line as I see there are any gaps for it.

456

And we're going to go from there.

457

It seems to be working.

458

I think it's working.

459

So Hailey Bieber, Lauren Ratner, thank you so much for joining us.

460

Thank you.

461

Thank you very much.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
