"Beekman 1802 transcends the transaction by cultivating a community connected by kindness.

Beauty; President, Keys Soulcare
"Brent and Josh were at the forefront of the "makers" movement. They took something as simple as artisanal soap and turned it into something sexy and desirable.

-Wendy Wurtzburger, former Global Co-President, Anthropologie

"I met Josh and Dr. Brent in 2018. At that time, I had been working on Acquisitions for 10 years at L'Oreal, so I have seen a lot of brands and met a lot of founders. I have always tried to judge a brand's DNA by understanding its soul, its layers of meaning. And how the founder expresses its DNA, and shows personal resiliency. The success of Beekman 1802 exemplifies the best of these qualities. "
-Carol Hamilton, Group President of Acquisitions, L’oréal
"TikTok became a global leader by harnessing the power of personal authenticity to build community one connection at a time.

That's the message in GOAT Wisdom." Christina Tran, Head of Cosmetics, TikTok Shop
"Written with a deeply authentic voice and powerful personal narratives, GOAT Wisdom is a practical guide for navigating the complexities of building a brand for the long-term.

I commend Dr. Brent and Josh for building Beekman 1802 the “right way” while staying true to their ethos. They have generously shared some of their secret sauce to success and it’s a must-read for every aspiring entrepreneur."
-Nini Zhang, Managing Director, Investment Banking, Bank of America
"I began my career with no formal business education behind a department store make-up counter and rose to become the President of Kiehl's and grew that company from one store to a global powerhouse. The best, strongest businesses are grown the old-fashioned way. GOAT Wisdom shows you how this is done, and I use these lessons now as the founder of my own company."
~Chris Salgardo, Founder of ATWATER skincare and author of MANMADE
"G.O.A.T. Wisdom may be the most practical, most commonsense business book you'll ever read.

Highly recommended!" — Pamela N. Danziger, founder, Unity Marketing; author, Meet the Henrys: The Millennials That Matter Most for Luxury Brands; and coauthor, The Corporateneur Plan
Since my early days in AI at Oxford and while leading their AI Society, I've understood that AI and technology will revolutionize the world, but its true potential will not be met in the absence of humanism and purpose. Entrepreneurship and innovation are the most challenging jobs any human can take. To be able to thrive, one must understand the importance of first innovating on yourself. "
