178: How to Go From Startup To Thriving Business — Adi Halevy

Adi Halevy is the CEO and Co-Founder of Teami Blends, an all-natural tea company based in Tampa Bay, Florida. At the age of 23, Teami was just at its' conception and was run solely through her bedroom. Adi had no previous marketing or business experience, hadn't attended college, but did have the quick decision making skills of an entrepreneur. All marketing, design, website development, customer service, shipping and fulfillment were all done from her 5x8 ft. bedroom. Adi wanted to turn drinking loose leaf tea into a lifestyle choice, instead of a daily beverage choice- and she succeeded. Over 200,000 customers worldwide, Teami has become a lifestyle sensation for men and women in the USA, as well as internationally. Adi has spearheaded the movement which has grown to over 40 staff in under 2 years, as well as acquiring a 10,000 sq. ft warehouse/office space for their expansion in 2016.
