Welcome to part two of my conversation with Rebecca Mapes, if you missed part one, please be sure to start there.

When we left off, Bec had just shared where she found herself after spending three years developing and ultimately releasing her sustainable hair care product under her label Winden. After prioritizing the most sustainable choices possible for the manufacturing and packaging of her new shampoo bar, she ultimately found herself facing the unsustainable financial reality of those choices. We also learn more about her experiences translating Winden to the fundraising and start-up world, and the realities of relocating her business from NYC to Sante Fe, NM. Finally, we discover the surprising place Bec has come to land in her creative and entrepreneurial journey.
