Aditya Madiraju gets to the bottom of what it really takes to start over. After a decade in finance, he took a leap of faith into beauty—without formal training, but with an undeniable passion. Now a Sephora Squad mentor and a force in the industry, he opens up about tokenism, pay parity, and how trends have watered down the artistry of makeup. He also shares the emotional toll of his years-long journey to fatherhood, his viral wedding, and why he doesn’t believe in work-life balance. This episode is all about reinvention, resilience, and making space in beauty on your own terms.
