About Our Guests

Kristi Lord and Lindsay Droz are the visionary co-founders of L’AVANT Collective, the elevated home care brand redefining what it means to clean consciously and beautifully. Personal friends turned business partners, Lindsay and Kristi launched L’AVANT with a simple yet radical idea: that non-toxic, plant-based cleaning products could be not only effective but as luxurious and design-forward as your favorite beauty or fragrance brand.

What began with a countertop spray has grown into a full line of high-performance, gorgeously packaged home essentials that prove sustainability and sophistication can go hand in hand. Their products are a staple in modern homes that value both wellness and aesthetics, and their story is one of grit, intention, and entrepreneurial spirit.

In this episode, we talk about how they built their business from the ground up, what it means to launch a mission-driven brand as women, mothers, and friends, and how being an entrepreneur has changed their lives.
