Dear FoundHer...Real Founder Stories for Women Small Business Owners

“My life changed because of an ice cream cone,” recalls Tamara Keefe. Growing up in a large family of humble means, she was never able to join her friends for ice cream after church due to financial reasons. One day, her mother found an old hand-cranked ice cream maker and began making ice cream at home. Soon, every Sunday, friends, family and neighbors were coming over to Tamara’s house, each bringing different ingredients to make ice cream.  Tamara and her family became quite popular around town. 

Fast forward to years later.  After years of great success in the corporate world, Tamara realized she was miserable and needed a change. After complaining that there wasn't a proper creamery in town, her friends encouraged her to return to start an ice cream business. After attending Penn State’s “ice cream college,” she opened Clementine’s, an award-winning microcreamery with six locations throughout Missouri, three more in the process of opening, and shipments made all over the country.  The shop’s practices stand out against the majority of industrial ice cream making practices in the country, and it’s known for its quality and unique flavors, including infusing them with booze.

Ice cream was what gave Tamara her first sense of community as a child. And now with her shops, she fosters the same sense of community among her neighbors and her team. Join us to learn the importance of connection, community, your team and your network---and how they can all work together to build an amazing brand.

Quotes:

• “Ice cream is the most emotional food item there is out there, because people are so tied to these memories. When you think of your first ice cream cone, it’s with your grandparents, it’s with your friends, it was maybe the first date you ever took a girl out on.” (8:58-9:13 | Tamara)

• “We’re in neighborhoods. People walk out, kids come in after school, there are restaurants around, universities, colleges. We’re so entrenched in peoples’ lives.”  (25:56-26:08 | Tamara)

• “The thing that we long for the most is to be connected to each other. Ice cream does that. When you’re holding an ice cream cone, you’re not holding a cell phone. So I think it has this magic special place for people because it’s really about connection and joy and community with each other.” (27:39-28:02 | Tamara)

Despite all of the success Donna Rudolph has had with Teeny Tiny Treatments, she still only considers it her side hustle. All three of Donna’s babies suffered from the dermatological condition called cradle cap, and while there are products already on the market, Donna found them to be ineffective and time-consuming. So, she created Noggin Wipes, her own avocado-oil based wipes, which were quickly picked up by top retailers like buybuy BABY. Donna remains a full-time teacher, though she hopes to one day be able to focus solely on her entrepreneurial passions.

Donna’s success is a testament to the power of networking, which she advises is the most crucial aspect of growing a business. From the beginning, Donna put herself and her product in front of people who could help her, or connect her to others who could. Donna prefers to focus on her podcast and newsletter, realizing the importance and circular nature of giving. Whatever your method of engagement is, it’s about putting, and keeping, yourself on the radar.

You don’t have to risk it all upfront to find success. It's possible for your entrepreneurial journey to begin as a side hustle. Follow along as Donna shares the importance of persistence, what message you should give to your children about prioritizing work, and why you are always your own worst enemy–and greatest ally.

Quotes

• “I’m not saying that you should just buy the first package that you see of someone who says they’re going to help you, but there are certain things that are totally worth spending money on. You have to spend money smartly. But when you do, it’s totally worth it.” (13:42-13:56 | Donna)

• “You have to go into your business like you’re going to Vegas. You have to think, ‘I’m about to lose money.’ And as much money as you think you’re about to lose, you’re going to lose double that amount, when you’re creating a product.” (16:06-16:20 | Donna)

• “It’s all about being on the radar. You just want to get yourself on the radar. So I would say my biggest tip is to get yourself on everybody else’s radar.” (39:54-40:04 | Donna)

• “You do not need to have a million-dollar marketing budget to get on people’s radars. It’s about being strategic and being resourceful and utilizing people who are in your network and in your space to help share your message. (40:46-41:00 | Lindsay)

Through the isolation of the pandemic, 17-year-old Sophia Rascoff realized that people were connecting through two things: social media and food. Her own family bonded over food during this time in a way they never had before.  With traditional social media focusing more negative aspects of life, she decided to create a vertical social media platform celebrating the joys and connectivity of food. Together with her father Spencer Rascoff, founder of Zillow and Hotwire, they founded Recon Food. 

According to Sophia, a coding enthusiast, Recon Food allows people, especially people in slightly older generations, to enjoy what’s great about social media without all the toxicity. Spencer recognized that social media platforms are becoming increasingly specific, and centered around a single hobby, like running or hiking. As a result, Recon Food has fostered a genuine and enthusiastic community across the world. Between running cross-country, playing chess and applying for colleges, Sophia has continued to run her business and grow her community successfully. 

Sophia provides insights about how she organizes her time, why cold emailing is still one of the best techniques to attract partners and investors, and how to get used to hearing the word ‘no.’  Enjoy the advice from this amazing female co-founder and her incredible father!

Quotes

• “When I hear social media is bad, I know, but I’m not going to stop using it. We’re so far into it at this point, and it’s become such an important tool. And it can be used for good. There are so many amazing things that social media can do.” (13:49-14:02- | Sophia)

• “I am a productive procrastinator. When I don’t want to do something, instead of just wasting time on my phone or something, I’ll do other stuff that I also should do but is not time-sensitive.” (30:07-30:19 | Sophia)

• “Be a little bit more arrogant in a good way, a little bit more self-assured, don’t let rejection get you down, and network the heck out of things. Whether it’s men or women, that’s just critically important for founders of all types.” (33:00-33:18 | Spencer)

• “Finding something that affects you greatly and deeply, means you’re the right founder and the right addresser for that topic.”(34:07-34:13 | Sophia)

“As a female founder, one of the most important things is to be surrounded by other people who are willing to call you out when they notice signs of burnout,” says Katy Ursta. Along with her Co-Founder, Melanie Mitro, Katy helps women reach their business goals, as well as navigate some of the pitfalls of entrepreneurship through their work at Chic Influencer. One common trait among female founders is the experience of burnout. The symptoms of which can wreak havoc on our bodies resulting in extreme exhaustion and ultimately leaving us with a lack of connection, joy and creativity. 

Ironically, you can love what you do so much you don’t know when to stop. Recognize what brings you joy and put that joy first. At the end of the day, the best way to avoid burnout is to give yourself permission to be wholly committed to your endeavors at their designated time and to be firm with anyone who attempts to violate these boundaries, including yourself. 

Listen to this episode, to hear Katy and Melanie discuss the importance of reading more than just personal development books, the ugly side of hustle culture, and why color-coded time blockers are a game-changer.

Quotes

• “One of the most important things is to be surrounded by other people who are almost willing to call you out when they are seeing signs of burnout that you don’t even know exist within yourself.” (12:07-12:19 | Katy ) 

• “No matter what the signs are of burnout, you have to say, ‘Do I actually feel healthy? Do I feel good? Do I feel excited about the work that I get to do?’ Or are things starting to feel more heavy?’”(14:57-15:15 | Melanie) 

• “I’m very good about saying, ‘It’s done. This is not a 24/7 business.’ It really is the hours I commit to.”(24:24-24:34 | Melanie)

• “It’s OK if you set healthy boundaries. Most business owners are afraid they’re going to lose business, so we kind of address that fear first. If someone can’t wait for you to respond for five hours or six hours because you are spending time with your family, they’re not your ideal client.” (26:02-26:20 | Katy)

Breaking down barriers for women entrepreneurs, creating transparency and educating founders about venture capital is part of Carrie Colbert’s mission. “I don’t think of it as just a linear one-way street. I think of it as an ecosystem where we can all learn from one another, and really foster success and empowerment,” explains Carrie, the Founder of Curate Capital. After a successful career in the oil and gas industry, Carrie decided to support other female entrepreneurs’ visions, investing in companies like Packed Party, which in just five years generated a 10X ROI. What sets Carrie apart from many venture capitalists is that she offers more than just cash infusion. She offers what so many female entrepreneurs (who make up 80 percent of her clientele) are looking for: the gift of community, a network, and resources.  She sees an “opportunity arbitrage” in the fact that females in business are underfunded and overperforming, and that her results and connections, including the influence she has amassed as a popular blogger and Instagrammer, can really drive great returns for her investors.

This week, Carrie explains what a VC actually does on a typical day, what the requirements and limitations are for those who are seeking investors, and why it’s key to any venture to surround yourself with people more knowledgeable than you are.

Quotes

• “She’s a mom with a big belief in female founders, and that is something that really drew me to Carrie. She is a champion of female entrepreneurs.”(4:33-4:40  | Lindsay)

• “Women founders do not get any capital. It is such a struggle for them to find the capital. You were seeing that, and infusing businesses, and seeing a return on your investment, before you even had your fund. So you were able to prove your concept and the need for your fund, before you even thought, ‘I want to do this.’”(11:15-11:33 | Lindsay)

• “We invest in businesses by women, for women.” (30:50-30:53 | Carrie)

• “Work on your story. It’s all about storytelling. There are a million companies out there but I want to know: what problem are you solving? How are you solving it? And why are you the key person to solve that problem? “(33:01-33:14 | Carrie)

• “I’m a big believer that no experience is lost.”(36:12-36:14- Carrie)

At just 24 years old, Betty Cayouette’s dream brands like Disney, Valentino, HarperCollins are seeking her out for collaborations. While working as a videographer for companies like Aerie and Williams Sonoma, Betty’s first TikTok, in which she portrayed herself as the main character of one of her favorite books, went viral.  Users on the platform instantly took to her original idea and Betty gained 200,000 followers in just two weeks! Her account, Betty’s Book List, has made her one of the most popular book influencers on TikTok and Instagram and she is beloved by both the Gen Z and Millennial markets.

Betty has incredibly valuable advice for female entrepreneurs who are interested in this emerging platform. She acknowledges that TikTok can be intimidating for new creators, but insists that starting from scratch is actually beneficial. Creating content around a subject where you can educate or entertain, and that you are very passionate about is a must.  And, by starting with a clean slate it’s easier to train your algorithm and get your videos to the right people.

On this episode of Dear FoundHer, Betty shares her experience and advice for making viral TikToks, the best way to monetize the platform, and her must reads of the moment.

Quotes

• “The hook is the most important part because people either watch or scroll after the first two or three seconds.”(7:38-7:43 | Betty)

• “What you’re doing on TikTok, the topic and your niche, really transcends all demographics." (11:51-11:58 | Lindsay)

• "I’ve made my own luck. When I got my job with Aerie, I did the reach outs.  I was reaching out to them until they gave me an internship that didn’t even exist. Then I was staying in touch. I was doing the work to make that opportunity happen.”(21:24-21:45 | Betty)

• “Make sure that your own well being comes first. Never feel bad about working harder than those around you if you’re passionate about what you’re going out to get." (40:58-41:22 | Betty)

Jamie Grayson is the first male guest to be featured on Dear FoundHer, and it’s easy to see why the exception was made for him! Jamie is exceptional. Shortly after starting as a product demonstrator and personal shopper in New York City’s buybuyBaby store, customers began emailing the store to ask for him by name. In March, 2010, New York Magazine named him the city’s best baby-gear expert, and soon he was doing 50 engagements a year as one of the most well-respected experts in the baby gear and child safety space. Jamie spent every spare moment researching his products and newfound industry because he believed his customers, and later his audience, deserved the most honest and helpful information to make their decisions.

Thanks to this “human first” philosophy, Jamie’s millions of followers remain just as devoted to him, even as his brand continues to evolve. He’s shed his “BabyGuy” moniker, yet he remains as passionately dedicated as ever to helping parents make decisions about the best gear for their children with his reviews and events. As his social media platforms expand to include activism, business advice, pop culture, and theater, his approach remains the same: a business is essentially a community of friends.

On this episode of Dear FoundHer, hear Jamie discuss the dangers of having a business plan, the pros and cons of social media, and how no one really knows what they’re doing.

Quotes

• “I was the only man working with all of these doulas and taking childbirth classes. I really loved being around all this really cool, strong female energy.” 9:12-9:26 | Jamie)

• “I realized that with support, education and just a little bit of empathy as a human, you can make a drastic difference.”(19:56-20:05 | Jamie)

• “Knowing your worth and what to charge is one of the hardest things about this whole space. (22:54-23:00 | Jamie)

• “It is impossible to do everything by yourself.” (32:16-32:19 | Jamie)

• “That’s in our mission statement on my site: Human being first, business second.” (35:47-35:50 | Jamie)

• “This influencer culture we live in, I don’t love. When people call me an influencer, I hate it.”(48:25-48:31 | Jamie)

After selling their first company Mommybites, Heather Ouida and Laura Deutsch reunited to start a new community, one for women and femme-identified gamers. Described by Laura as “a Facebook platform for people who game,” the*gameHERs is a social and career networking app and media platform created for women by women. It not only offers female gamers a space safe from the toxicity they often experience in male-dominated gaming spaces, but celebrates them and allows them to use their voices.

In founding and growing these two companies, Laura and Heather have maintained the philosophy that focusing on community organically nurtures success. By listening to and considering what female gamers actually wanted, the same community then turned up in droves to support the company that the two women created for them.

On this episode of Dear FoundHer, hear Heather and Laura explain the importance of clearly identifying the problem you’re solving, clearly stating your reason for creating the business (hint: it should be a lived passion), and finally just jumping right in (while leaving room to pivot).

Quotes

• “It is a space that brings women together in a safe way. It gives women and femme-identified gamers a voice when often they don’t have one. (5:58-6:08 | Heather)

• “We’re all, as leaders, big fans of stepping back and listening to our community, not just saying, ‘This is what we want to do and this is why you should listen to us!’ We want to hear what you want.”(25:45-25:55 | Heather)

• “Our mission was to elevate women. What better way than to literally give women and femme-identified gamers, who aren’t normally heard let alone celebrated, an award given by their community?” (30:00-30:14 | Heather)

• “If you build it authentically, they will come. We just put our heads down. We knew loosely how we would monetize, but that wasn’t our focus. If that’s your focus, right from the beginning, your community senses it and you’re dead before you’ve even started.” (31:13-31:30 | Heather)

• “It’s really like a Facebook platform for people who game. And it’s the first of its kind.” (33:58 | Laura)

• "Make sure that whatever you are starting you have a true passion for OR you are actually living it. To build something authentic you have to be authentic. You’re either living it or loving it." (44:47-45:12 | Laura)

Sasha Adler has a true love of design and fashion. Initially this passion took her to New York where she worked as the editor of a fashion magazine, traveling back and forth to Paris throughout the year. While this part of her career was helping Sasha work toward her early dream of working at Vogue magazine, things changed when she met and scored an amazing opportunity to work with Nate Berkus, the acclaimed interior designer.  Drawing heavily on her unique editorial fashion experiences, Sasha was able to create interiors that incorporated textiles, fine art and antiques. After 14 amazing years in Nate’s business, Sasha thoughtfully navigated the tricky decision to to go out on her own and started her entrepreneurial journey at the helm of Sasha Adler Design in Chicago.

Sasha’s young firm specializes in historical restoration and ground-up construction projects. They collaborate with their clients to form a design narrative that balances natural materials, architectural details, and bespoke designs. Their clientele expands around the globe, and their work has been featured in Elle Decor, the Wall Street Journal, and Architectural Digest. With so much success in just over three years, Sasha has gracefully tackled the challenges that come with a growing business. 

As a female entrepreneur, Sasha shares her advice on how to leave a job without burning any bridges, the most important consideration when hiring employees, and the best people to take advice from about starting your own business.

Quotes

• “I’m probably the only 10-year-old who asked for new bedding for their birthday.” (6:13-6:17 | Sasha)

• “I love interior design. It has all the elements of everything that I love. It has that fashion element in a sense that you’re pulling different textiles and pieces together. But it feels more permanent than fashion because it’s your home.” (9:18-9:31 | Sasha)

• “I think I was very naive and that was a blessing. The business of building a business was way more time consuming than I had ever envisioned.” (15:37-15:48 | Sasha)

• “I say to my team all the time, we’re not saving lives. We’re just not! You really should love what you’re doing and it should be fun at the end of the day. (23:32-23:41 | Sasha)

• “It’s so exciting to me that something that I saw and, kind of, made up now can actually be made.” (32:25-32:32 | Sasha)

Like a lot of women in their 30s, Radha Vyas found herself burned out at work and in need of some fun and adventure. With her extensive travel experience, she initially dismissed the idea of joining a group tour, thinking they were only reserved for wealthy retirees or young backpackers. The more she researched, she found there was an entire market of travelers who, like Radha, were somewhere in between these two demographics, and who were being underserved.

With her now-husband, Lee Thompson, Radha created Flash Pack—a luxury, adventure-travel company for solo travelers in their 30s and 40s. Though travel isn't her main mission, Radha’s ultimate goal is to connect like minded people at a time in their lives when their social circle is shrinking. Flashpack is determined to build community and to facilitate one million friendships.

Tune in to this week's episode of Dear FoundHer… for a conversation about what it was like for Radha to lose her business to COVID just as it was hitting its stride, only to relaunch it stronger.  Plus, you'll hear her talk about the undiscussed loneliness of being a CEO, and the toll it takes on one's mental and emotional health.

Quotes

• "Just before COVID hit, we were flying really high. We were a team of about 55-60 people. We were just about to complete our Series A Institutional funding round. We were being solicited by VCs from Silicon Valley and in London." (19:08-19:24 | Radha)

• “People want connection. And our collective isolation over two years just made everyone realize that friendship and connection is as important to your mental health and well being as getting a good night's sleep." (26:12-26:26 | Radha)

• "I'm a much more confident CEO now. I've learned more from failure than I learned from years of high-growth and success. Now, I feel really super comfortable in my role as CEO of a high-growth company."(29:04-29:22 | Radha)

• "Generally, I would say most businesses don't die of starvation, they die of indigestion."  (31:44-31:49 | Radha)

• "As entrepreneurs we need to talk about loneliness and the mental health toll running your own business has. And I think this needs to be an open subject."(34:31-34:39 | Radha)

• "Understand your customers deeply and the problems they have and try to solve around that." (45:08-45:13 | Radha)
