Then they shut it down \u2014 on purpose \u2014 at the peak. In Part 1 of this conversation, Jason walks Claire through how he and Caroline started working together (it involves lion makeup), the pricing shift that took them from $5K to $30K a month, the &quot;enough number&quot; exercise that's been guiding their business for years, an important apology, and the decision to close it all.
