Building a Brand Through Community, Family & Authenticity


Listen Later

If you're struggling to build community around your brand, you may be missing two important things: authenticity & strong values. LaRue Wines Founder Katy Wilson launched her Sonoma Pinot Noir brand at the age of 26 with a bootstrap budget and a clear vision. 

By engaging with her customers, following up, reaching out, and staying true to her vision of small production wines, she built a cult following for her wines.

Katy & her husband David Menesses now co-run the winery, navigating a non-stop small business with raising a newborn. They share their insight on how they work together as a family and keep their customers engaged, even through hardships like wildfires and COVID-19. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Parenting as entrepreneurs
  • Working with a spouse
  • Building community
  • Using community to build your brand
  • Choosing to stay small
  • How to conquer and divide

For anyone wanting to build community or struggling to find balance with work and family, this is an episode for you.
