In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with creative visionary, global beauty leader, and industry trailblazer Sir John for an honest conversation about courage, reinvention, identity, and what it really takes to build a legacy in spaces that were never designed for you.Sir John reflects on the quote that grounds him — “A lull will teach you how to win if you’re humble enough to learn from it” — and shares how setbacks, uncertainty, and starting over became part of the foundation for the life he built. From getting fired at MAC to doing makeup in a strip club in Queens, from being sent to Milan with money raised by the women around him to building career-defining relationships with icons like Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé, this conversation is a masterclass in trusting your instincts and refusing to shrink.Together they dive into: How Sir John’s journey from Buffalo to Harlem shaped his vision and voice Why learning from the “lulls” matters just as much as celebrating the wins The story behind how women at the strip club helped fund his trip to Milan What it felt like to work with Naomi Campbell and later Beyoncé Why knowing your value changes how you negotiate, lead, and create The difference between translating and assimilating in professional spaces How Black creatives can advocate for themselves without shrinking Why community, courage, and clarity are essential for longevity What Sir John is building now beyond makeup and beauty trends If you’ve ever felt called to something bigger, questioned your path, or needed a reminder that your story doesn’t have to look traditional to be powerful, this episode is proof that alignment, resilience, and self-belief can take you further than approval ever will. 📌 Share this with someone who needs the reminder to trust their instincts and keep going. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.
