Chris Kolodziejski’s story begins with the desire to empower individuals to realize they can set intentions and shape their future using the resources within them. He grasped this concept in third grade, yet it took him about three decades to fully comprehend its significance. Looking back to a thriving career as an NFL athlete and investment banker, he is now the founder of Chella, a clean beauty brand based in California. He built this business without extensive prior knowledge of the beauty industry, but with the ability to understand what resonates with people, making them feel acknowledged, understood, and cherished.
