From Corporate to Creative (with Mariah Phillips)

This week on Operations Unfiltered, I’m joined by Mariah Phillips, a corporate professional turned founder of Brainiac Beauty Events. I actually met Mariah years ago at a Baltimore Creators Accelerator, which makes this full-circle moment even sweeter.

We talk about career pivots, the beauty of community, and how her corporate background helped her build a creative, structured, and thriving business. Mariah shares how she took her love of artistry and turned it into Sip & Pretty Makeup Tutorial Parties which are fun, beginner-friendly experiences that blend beauty, confidence, and connection.

We also get real about the challenges of entrepreneurship, like delegating when you’re used to doing it all, navigating slow seasons, and how she learned to shift her definition of a “perfect product” from the result to the experience.

Whether you’re a creative, a founder, or just figuring out how to turn your passion into profit, this episode is for you!
