One of the most closely watched is Glossier, which recently appointed a new CEO, Colin Walsh, who joined from Ouai. On this week’s episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, co-host Sara Spruch-Feiner is joined by senior beauty reporter Emily Jensen to discuss the staple millennial brand — which famously helped pioneer the modern \"clean girl\" aesthetic — and what its next chapter may hold. In recent months, the company has undergone several changes. Since Walsh’s appointment, they've included layoffs affecting roughly a third of its workforce, a pullback on physical retail, and a renewed focus on hero products and fragrance, a category now driving significant growth. Headlines about the brand have often forecasted inevitable doom, but this episode explores Glossier’s current moment beyond a foregone conclusion, examining what it takes for a beauty brand to achieve longevity in an increasingly crowded market, the balance between newness and attention paid to hero products, and the challenge of maintaining relevance across generations.","meta_description":"As the beauty industry moves past the direct-to-consumer boom of the 2010s, some of its most influential brands are being forced to redefine what success…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1789,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-glossy-beauty-podcast-520172/episodes/what-s-going-on-at-glossier/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-glossy-beauty-podcast-520172/what-s-going-on-at-glossier.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
