This week, How I Built This explored two very different paths to building billion-dollar brands: one founder who disrupted beauty by selling affordable makeup through unconventional channels, and another who built an entertainment empire by creating characters that resonated across multiple platforms. Together, the episodes reveal how successful entrepreneurs often succeed by either challenging industry norms or by understanding what audiences want before they know it themselves.
