- G.O.A.T. wisdom : how to build a truly great business--from the founders of Beekman 1802 / by Ridge, Brent,author.(CARDINAL)395927; Kilmer-Purcell, Josh,1969-author.(CARDINAL)472850;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-246) and index."After growing up in rural, middle-class families in North Carolina and Wisconsin and moving to New York to scale the heights of the corporate ladders in advertising, healthcare, and media, Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell returned to their roots and launched Beekman 1802 in one of New York State's poorest counties, with no funding in the middle of a punishing recession. They didn't have much of a business plan. But they did know a few things: they wanted to build a truly good company. They wanted to sell high-quality beauty and skincare products made from goat's milk that would enrich their customers' lives. They wanted to make the world a better place by spreading kindness. And they wanted to build a business that would last. Beekman 1802 is recognized as one of America's most esteemed beauty and lifestyle brands. But it wasn't built on current management fads; it was built on timeless proverbs that Brent's and Josh's parents and grandparents had taught them-the "greatest of all time" principles for good living that also can be applied to any business. For the first time, the authors present the twelve principles that made the greatest difference in the growth of Beekman 1802 and show how they are relevant for anyone seeking to run an enduring business of their own or harness the entrepreneurial spirit to rise within a big corporation. Packed with anecdotes from Brent's and Josh's own experiences, insights from other successful entrepreneurs, compelling social science research, and a lot of practical advice, GOAT Wisdom is more than a business guide-it's a source of inspiration. Part All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten and part Chicken Soup for the Soul, everyone from dreamers and humble hustlers to entrepreneurs and corporate intrapreneurs will find this wisdom to be insightful and refreshing"--- Subjects: Dermatologic agents industry; Cosmetics; Goat milk industry;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-187) and index.Lostridium botulinum -- The world's deadliest poison -- The canning industry -- An outbreak in the United States -- A rare and deadly disease -- World War II sets the stage -- Camp detrick : US Army biological warfare laboratories -- Fort detrick and the CIA -- The government steps in -- Edward Schantz testifies -- Back in Madison -- Dr. Alan B. Scott -- Progress in the lab -- First injection in a primate -- First injection in a human -- Joining the team -- Manufacturing begins -- Marketing and selling a new drug -- Botox and beauty -- Dermatology opens the floodgates -- Botox and neurology -- The legacy -- Epilogue."In the 1970s, Dr. Alan Scott sought to selectively weaken eye muscles to treat strabismus (when one or both eyes are misaligned) without surgery. After failed attempts with other agents, Scott developed a method to stabilize the bacteria that causes botulism, culminating in a drug that eventually became known as Botox. In Death to Beauty, Eugene M. Helveston, MD, follows the unlikely story of botulism's 1817 discovery in contaminated German sausages, to its use in military and research facilities, to Scott, an ophthalmologist who aimed to safely use the drug in humans. Scott struggled alone as an unknown in the pharmaceutical industry, searching for clinical trial financing and FDA approval, which he achieved at a fraction of the billions big pharma usually spends to bring a drug to market. Eventually, the company Allergan bought him out, capitalizing on the possibilities for cosmetic uses. Scott's formula was renamed "Botox" and reached annual sales in the billions. After the sale, Scott received no further compensation from Botox sales and remained the same unassuming man. A fascinating walk through the intricate history of how the world's deadliest toxin starting as a treatment for crossed eyes became a routine tool for the cosmetic industry, Death to Beauty will make you rethink success, beauty, and deadly bacteria."--- Subjects: Informational works.; Botulinum toxin; Cosmetics industry.; Surgery, Plastic.; Botulism.;
