Today we’d like to introduce you to Stefani Beckerman.
Stefani, before we jump into specific questions about your work, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My love affair with Los Angeles began early. I’ve always been attracted to California’s positive and mindful energy and grew up visiting family here many times a year. When I was 12, at a photo shoot that my cousin took me to, I met Rick Yorn. I decided that I wanted to be him when I grew up! I followed his career and when I finally got here, began my career at the renowned talent and literary management first Brillstein Entertainment Partners. I started in the mailroom and was then lucky enough to be promoted to work for my mentor, Partner Marc Gurvitz. At Brillstein, I built the Assistant Mentorship Program, a series of summer-long lunch-and-learns with industry executives and worked on special projects while teaching yoga once a week.
After Brillstein, I found a way to combine my experience in the Entertainment Industry with my passion for health and wellness as the 4th hire at Thrive Market. I am thrilled to be part of the core team who developed what is now the fastest-growing natural product e-commerce company of all time. At Thrive, I wore many hats: community-builder, strategic thinker, connector. I ultimately helped grow Thrive’s following to four million registered users in under 2 years. After stabilizing as Director of Strategic Partnerships, I’m proud to say that we cultivated an unmatched influencer network consisting of hundreds of the top health and wellness influencers, celebrities, bloggers, and world-class brands.
I love building brands and my personal mission is to help people integrate tools that support total well-being easily into everyday life. And that brings me to now!
Has it been a smooth road?
I am grateful to be surrounded by much inspiration in my everyday life. I have learned from incredible mentors and received tons of support along the way. That has made any struggle easier. My path has not always been linear and I tend to move too fast. That created struggle for myself and I’ve had to do a lot of inner work on figuring out how how to get out of my own way. When you’re an entrepreneur, there can be a tendency to hustle and push feeling the urgency to “get things done”! Yet, I notice, the most productive and impactful moments tend to come when I release control. It’s an interesting dance and I’m constantly being tested.
We’d love to hear more about your work. What do you do, what do you specialize in, what are you known for, etc. What are you most proud of? What sets you apart from others?
In my career, I am known as a wellness expert, brand-strategist and entrepreneur. As 4th employee of Thrive Market. I had the opportunity to wear many hats and then as Director of Strategic Partnerships, helped Thrive build a world-renowned influencer program responsible for our growth to over four million subscribers in under two years.
Now, as a consultant for lifestyle brands, I design overarching marketing strategies and manage the execution. I’m inspired by collaboration and I’m a big-picture thinker. Getting to creatively support companies I believe in to reach more people is a gift.
I love to write and you can find some of my work on Thrive Notebook, Thrive Global, MindBodyGreen, Peak Brain Institute and Poosh.
I would say what sets me apart is my genuine faith – I truly believe anything is possible and there’s always a solution.
