This week on The Lazy CEO, Jane is joined by Gabrielle Requena, founder of Wrinkles Schminkles, the beauty brand behind the reusable medical-grade silicone wrinkle patches that pioneered an entirely new skincare category. Gabrielle launched the business in 2014 with one hero product, bootstrapped it from day one, grew it to $20 million in annual revenue, expanded into 22 countries, and after 12 years, successfully exited the business.

In this episode, we get into:
What it was really like to be on Shark Tank, and the rejection that followed.
The TikTok that generated $11M in sales!  
The actual cost of selling your business: the physical, mental and emotional toll.
What life is like post-exit.
