Roundtable — Episode 153

What really happens when a founder steps back? How do you choose the right CEO—and ensure they can honor the past while steering toward the future? And what does it take to build a brand designed to last?

Join Nader Naeymi-Rad and the team behind Beekman 1802 for an exclusive first look at their upcoming book “G.O.A.T. Wisdom” with Harvard Business Review Press—the first ever authored by a beauty company. Rooted in HBR’s signature leadership and business psychology frameworks, the book uses the Beekman journey as its narrative spine, revealing hard-earned lessons on resilience, reinvention, and building a legacy brand from the ground up.
