S4E6: The Impact of Inclusion in the Beauty Industry feat. Yasmin Khan

This season we are talking all about impact – the people and
experiences that have impacted us, the ways we are impacting
others, and what we can all do to build confidence in our ability
to make a difference. 


In this episode, we are joined by Yasmin Khan, a graduate of the
Master of Business Creation program at the David Eccles School of
Business, and founder and CEO of Khalm Skincare. Yasmin also
provides mentorship and scholarship funding to young women
pursuing their college degrees through the Women Who Succeed
program.


Yasmin and host Frances Johnson talk about finding the confidence
to dive in fully to your goals and ideas, the value and impact of
being a part of the MBC program at Eccles Business School, and
getting cozy with failure.

Episode Quotes: 

On the impact of inclusion


[06:47] I think that impact of inclusion in the beauty space is
super important right now. And, so when a young girl sees
something, sees someone that looks like her creating something
that she can use, that harks back to her history, her traditions,
and her heritage, it's impactful on that woman because that woman
will then go on to university, will go on to being an
entrepreneur, or will go on to being a successful member of the
community.


Why failing is magical


[16:22] We all fail, and we learn from those. In fact, failing is
magical, and I tell them that all the time because you're going
to learn how to ski, you're going to fall, but then you're going
to get back up again, and that's what's most impactful for you as
young women, that you tried something and you got to a certain
point, and it grew you.


Khalm is more than just a skincare brand


[07:55] Khalm is connecting you back to those old traditions that
really are more impactful today than ever before.


Confidence in the face of failure


[10:39] You may fail or you may succeed, but it leverages another
opportunity and increases your confidence along the way. Just
grab the opportunities and go for it.
