Google: What Can We Make With Goat Milk?

Josh Kilmer-Purcell, ’91, and Dr. Brent Ridge are winners of The Amazing Race 21 and founders of Beekman 1802, a leading skincare brand powered by goat milk.

Josh and Brent’s story is one of reinvention. They grew a wildly successful business by prioritizing community and kindness in times of uncertainty. Josh and Brent’s reinvention began with the Google search of “What can we make with goat milk?” after losing their jobs in 2008. Now, Beekman 1802 is named the leading skincare brand by Ulta Beauty.

Beginning in the small town of Sharon Springs, NY, with a population of 547, Josh and Brent created a ripple effect of kindness that has reached hearts and minds on a global level.  

“The ripple effect is so powerful. No matter how small you have to start.”

– Dr. Brent Ridge

The power of kindness is evident in how Josh and Brent live and run their business. It’s a value that creates community and inspires others.
