Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields became friends and colleagues while in dermatology residency at Stanford University. They were inspired by their mentor to change the rules of dermatology practice. They developed prescription-strength skincare products that could be accessed without a prescription, transforming acne treatment. Rather than retiring after early success, they continued developing products for other skin conditions through their company Rodan + Fields. Their direct selling model allows personalized customer experiences and opportunities for consultants to build successful businesses.
