About this episode

Thirty years after creating the magazine that inspired millions and launched her namesake brand, Martha reunites with the two women who helped her birth it: Founding Editor-in-Chief Isolde Motley, and Founding Art Director, Gael Towey. Relegated to the least desirable spaces of Time, Inc, and facing a chorus of doubters, the trio set about creating a magazine that broke the mold. Hear how they crafted each shoot by hand, with Martha doing her own hair and make-up, while also adopting technology early on. This special episode reveals the inside stories behind Martha’s start-up: Martha Stewart Living.
