Show Notes

#1,002: Aerin Lauder rarely sits down for conversations like this. As the granddaughter of legendary beauty entrepreneur Estée Lauder, Aerin grew up with a front-row seat to one of the most iconic families and businesses in American beauty — learning firsthand about taste, ambition, family, and what it takes to build something that lasts. Today, Aerin has created a legacy of her own as the founder of AERIN, bringing her distinctive point of view to beauty, fragrance, fashion, interiors, and entertaining. In this episode, Aerin takes us inside the world that shaped her. She shares what Estée was really like as a grandmother, the lessons she taught Aerin about work ethic, beauty, business, and relationships, and how those lessons continue to influence the way Aerin lives and works today. We also get into Aerin's philosophy on living beautifully — how she creates a warm and personal home, her rules for entertaining, thoughtful details that can transform a dinner or gathering, the beauty and home essentials she always keeps around, and why great taste isn't about perfection. Aerin also opens up about building AERIN while carrying one of the most recognizable names in beauty, finding her own identity within an extraordinary family legacy, motherhood and raising two sons, family traditions, balancing ambition with a full personal life, and what she's learned about creating a life that feels both elevated and genuinely lived-in. This is a rare and personal conversation about legacy, taste, family, ambition, and the timeless art of living well.
