Episode 35 is with Marie Chevrier Schwartz, Founder & CEO of Sampler!

A proudly Canadian, venture-backed technology company, Sampler is the leader in digital product sampling. Their software helps hundreds of brands like Nestlé, L'Oréal and Kimberly-Clark make their product sampling strategies targeted and measurable. Their approach builds a personalized product sampling experience that gets samples straight to your doorstep and continues to provide better products as they get to know you more.

She explains her bouts with corporate burnout and how company culture can help keep employees happy and healthy. She also talks about the importance of networking and leveraging the power of people.

This was a great conversation with an innovative leader transforming the retail experience, so we hope you enjoy!
