S2E18 Ann McFerran

How do you build a $50M lash company in a pandemic, and what is a young founder to do when that happens?

Join Laura Gassner Otting as she hosts this episode of LGOtv with special guest, Ann McFerran - Game Changer, Risk Taker, Lash Magnate.

Ann McFerran was born in Bangkok, Thailand and immigrated with her single mother to America when she was 7 years old. After growing up in Manteca, CA, she gained admissions to UCLA and moved to Los Angeles where she graduated with a B.S. in Psychobiology. However, post-grad, she pursued her artistic passion and became a full time fine artist for several years where she sold various abstract and pop art commissions worldwide.  While she enjoyed the creativity that art provided, she was feeling isolated as a full time artist.  During these years, she knew that she had a passion for making her vision come to life and building a community around it. When she saw a gap in the beauty market for magnetic lashes that actually worked, she sought out to develop magnetic lashes in the styles she would personally wear. One year later, on July 2019 after teaching herself product development and marketing, Glamnetic was born.  Six months since launch, Glamnetic is now doing 7 figures per month in revenue.
