For Bobbi Brown, patience isn't a virtue; it’s an obstacle. The makeup artist and entrepreneur operates on a timeline dictated by instinct, not corporate calendars. “I have no patience,” Brown tells Newsweek’s Parting Shot Podcast in a wide-ranging conversation about her new memoir Still Bobbi. “Like I go in and I say, ‘Oh I love this new product, when are we getting it? February?’ I’m like, ‘Hell no, bring it out in November. I don't care it's not in a package.’”

This drive is the engine behind her entire career. Still Bobbi chronicles the story of a woman who built a billion-dollar beauty empire in her own name, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, only to walk away from it in order to start over (again), this time on her own terms with a new makeup brand, Jones Road Beauty. “I do hope and I do think that my story is empowering to people,” Brown says. “And they're like, ‘Well, look, if she did this and she went through this, then I could do this.’”
