Entreprenista

Adriana dealt with bullying her entire life. In college, she made bracelets for her sorority as a way to remind the women of self love and community. Soon, she realized that she could combine her desire to be a boss with her love of inspirational bracelet making to create a company that would reach the masses and help foster a community of encouraging women. 

Today, we sit down with Adriana Carrig, founder and CEO of Little Words Project, a bracelet company that aims to build community and encouragement. She shares her secrets to hiring, how her marketing has changed over the years, how Little Words Project got into Target, and so much more. 

“We really, as women, needed a reminder, a daily reminder to be kind to one another, love ourselves, and then also kind of lift one another up and kind of share that love as we come across it.” - Adriana Carrig

Nathalie always had an Entreprenista spirit, but it wasn’t until she found a meditation app during her high-risk pregnancy that she realized how she wanted to implement that spirit. After she made it to term with her pregnancy––she credits Expectful’s meditations––she decided to join forces with Expectful and helped grow the brand. 

Today, we sit down with Nathalie Walton, co-founder and CEO of Expectful, a holistic wellness app for hopeful, expecting, and new moms. Nathalie shares with us what she’s learned about fundraising, how to sell a business, tips for building partnerships, and so much more. 

“I came across this app called Expectful. Expectful, at the time, was a meditation app for pregnancy. And even though I've been meditating for over 20 years, when I started doing Expectful meditations, something in me stabilized. And I actually made it to term, which was something that none of my doctors thought was possible.” - Nathalie Walton

After trying virtually everything on the market for her cystic acne, Kayleigh found herself at an acne clinic. A few hours into the visit Kayleigh had learned so much about the causes of acne. Soon, she struck up a partnership with the clinic’s owner and her now business partner, Danielle, to market their skincare line, CLEARSTEM. 

Today, we sit down with Kayleigh Christina, co-founder of CLEARSTEM Skincare, an anti-acne, anti-aging skincare line that incorporates stem cells in the formulations to help people achieve the best results. Kayleigh shares about her ‘aha’ moment, her learning lessons, how she builds a community with her business, and so much more. 

“A lot of the harsh acne products actually make your skin age faster and get deeper, more aggressive wrinkles. And then you have a lot of anti-aging products that are historically filled with poor quality ingredients, causing you to break out. So we're like, ‘why don't we create a line that does both at the same time?’” - Kayleigh Christina

Vivian Valenty has known since she was young that her purpose on earth was to help people. Originally, she wanted to be a doctor, but she went into chemistry instead. After meeting with a man whose wife had a problem with the drying time of nail polish, she worked to fix it.

She shares how her desire to help others is always at the forefront of her mind, when she decided to start Dazzle Dry, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and so much more.

Coming from an Entreprenista family, Sandra knew she had the spirit to run her own company. But her path of entrepreneurship has been a winding road back and forth from corporate America. She views it as a way to always be adding to her skill set, and she has certainly acquired many skills.

“​​So I kind of flip flopped from corporate, you know, I guess maybe starting as an entrepreneur at a very young age, flipping into corporate, flipping back into an entrepreneur, and flipping back into corporate and now back into an entrepreneur. So, you know, it's definitely been a pivot. But for me, it's always been about continuing to add my skills.” - Sandra Campos

Jenna joined radio because her long hair was more important to her than being a television news anchor would allow. Her hair was a part of her she wasn’t willing to part with. She had no idea that over a decade later she would become more known for her skincare products than her hair. 

Today, we sit down with Jenna Owens, founder and CEO of Fitish, a CBD wellness and skincare brand. She shares where her inspiration for Fitish came from, why it’s important to hire quickly, the constraints she has faced owning a CBD company, and so much more. 

“I just hope I can get it into the hands of more people so that it can be useful for them. Because that's what feels like may ultimately be the success of this business, right? As people that need this product, right? And figuring that part out. So yeah, that's what keeps me going now.” - Jenna Owens

Marci Zaroff was a natural-born entreprenista. From lemonade stands to calligraphy businesses, she always had a hustle on the side. In her more than 30 years in business, she has founded more than ten companies. We can all learn a little (or a lot) from her. 

Today, we sit down with Marci Zaroff. She is a life-long entreprenista, CEO and founder of many brands, and the pioneer of sustainable fashion. She shares with us her background, how to make sure you match with celebrity partners, how to get into retailers, and so much more. 

​​”I was very conscious and studying about the environment and human health and wellness at a very early age. I was doing yoga in my late teens. But I was also a mainstream girl that wanted you know, good food and good fashion and got best dressed in high school and, and I had this epiphany that these worlds are not mutually, they're not mutually exclusive. You can have both, and that really has become my life's work.” - Marci Zaroff
