Trinity Mouzon Wofford is the co-founder and CEO of Golde and the youngest Black woman to ever have her products stocked in Sephora stores.  From stocking at a handful of local cafes all the way to launching at Target, I asked Trinity to get specific in this episode and let us know exactly how she grew the brand through strategic retail partnerships. If Target’s on your retailer hit list, tune in: we went deep into the things founders should consider before going after a big retailer, and what it takes to get their attention.  Golde has scaled up significantly in the past year, and that means big production and supply chain updates. So, how does a product-based business scale up their operations to meet hockeystick growth in demand? We get into that and more in the episode.

Ever thought about entering the non-alc industry? Jen Batchelor started Kin to transform the world’s oldest social ritual, drinking, into a conscious act of better being, rallying a community of sober-curious, sober-lite, and straight-up sober customers. She launched in 2017 - early in the non-alc movement - with her original functional, non-alcoholic beverage: High Rhode. I asked Jen to tell us how she took Kin from idea phase to launch, and on to sell over 1 million servings. *Don’t miss Jen talking about the ‘seasons of financing’ and how to find the right investors for your stage of business. **Since I recorded this episode, Jen has brought supermodel Bella Hadid on board as a cofounder of Kin Euphorics.

Olamide Olowe is the founder and CEO of Topicals, a skincare company transforming the way people feel about skin through effective products for eczema and hyperpigmentation.  Topicals sold out 48 hours after launching in Nordstrom. Six months later it landed in Sephora, where the brand sold out nationwide again within 48 hours. So, how did Olamide do it? In this ep I ask her to dive into: Her blueprint for high impact launches How she landed big retail partnerships in her first year of business The resources that helped her raise $2.6 million (before her 24th birthday) Why beauty startups should shift their attention to Twitter How to use quizzes to build an audience pre-launch Make sure you listen to the end, when Olamide tells us all about the resources that helped her grow Topicals.
