Scarlett Johansson is an actor, director, producer, and co-founder of the skincare company The Outset. She began acting at age nine and continued to work steadily through adolescence and beyond, making films alongside industry legends like Robert Redford and taking on increasingly ambitious roles like the titular character in Girl With the Pearl Earring. Her career climbed to new heights in the last decade, as she was nominated for Academy Awards for the films Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story, and played the lethal superhero Black Widow in the Marvel movie franchise. But after years as an accomplished actress, she knew that she wanted to expand her horizons and use some of her hard-earned expertise for her own projects. She then founded her own production company, These Pictures, and in 2022, co-founded the skincare company, The Outset, to provide solutions for adult acne and other skin issues that had plagued her for years. The brand, which launched on Amazon and QVC earlier this year, has come to be known for its effective ingredients and simple, nonirritating formulas. As if that wasnât enough, this year, Scarlett directed her first feature film, Eleanor the Great, starring the 94-year-old acting legend June Squibb.

Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo are the founders of the modern romantic fiction entertainment company 831 Stories. The two met in college, and after graduating, Claire worked in the arts and Erica in editorial, but they stayed close and constantly shared ideas. In 2010, they partnered up and launched Of a Kind, an e-commerce company that sold limited-edition pieces and crafted meaningful editorial content about the designers behind them. Of a Kind grew a loyal following of customers who loved Claire and Ericaâs keen sense of style and humor. In 2015, they sold the business to Bed Bath & Beyond and stayed at the company for four more years doing marketing and strategy. In 2019, BB&B closed Of a Kind, which allowed Claire and Erica to slow down for the first time in years. They took a pause and thought about their next steps. Realizing the potential of the romance space (and how much they personally resonated with the content), they founded 831 Stories. The company now has a publishing imprint with Simon & Schuster, and their first book, Big Fan by Alexandra Romanoff, was published this past September.
