WCT: You recently attended the Martha Stewart show to talk about your goat-milk soap and cheese. How did that go?
BR: It was superb . I have worked with her a lot so I know how to interact with her. She likes our cheese so that is a nice thing.

The secret to their success, they both will tell you, is kindness. It is the very foundation their company, Beekman , was built on and continues to attend as the driving coerce and competitive strategy of their business today.
However, as Kilmer-Purcell explains, “This (owning a skincare company) was not our goal. This was not our noun. This just happened to us.” And, the reality TV show and Amazing Race were done as “side hustles” to serve their business grow.
