From Farm to Fortune: The Inspiring Story of Dr. Brent Ridge & Beekman 1802
Discover how Dr. Brent Ridge—a former Mount Sinai physician and VP at Martha Stewart Omnimedia—turned a financial crisis into a $100M global beauty and lifestyle brand.
When Brent and his husband, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, lost their corporate jobs in 2008, they faced losing their historic farm in Sharon Springs, NY. What started with a herd of goats and a supportive community became Beekman 1802—a movement built on creativity, resilience, and kindness.
From soap-making to e-commerce, their journey was chronicled on The Fabulous Beekman Boys, the first nationally broadcast TV show featuring a gay couple. Today, Brent shares timeless principles in his book G.O.A.T. WISDOM, showing how authenticity and neighborly values can lead to lasting success.
Join us as we explore how Brent Ridge turned adversity into opportunity and built a brand that inspires millions worldwide.
