The show
Overall the show is about the intersection of beauty, business, and technology—and not just podcast technology, tech as it relates specifically to the cosmetics industry. In this latest episode, Fredrickson, Betzler, and Utroske take time to mull over how biotech as well as digital tools like VR, AR, and voice-control technology are impacting the beauty business.
