In this episode of Varsity Ventures, I sit down with Vicki Davitashvili—a leader with 20+ years in financial services and two-time founder of Still Essence Tea and Wealthy and Unstoppable.

After a life-altering event in 2022, Vicki turned to tea as both a healing ritual and the spark for her first business. She later discovered a deeper gap around women’s financial confidence, leading her to launch a second venture. In this episode, she shares how resilience, customer obsession, and scrappy MVPs helped her bring both ideas to life.

You’ll hear:

• How to move from idea to launch with minimal resources
• Why leadership is about psychological safety, honesty, and a servant mindset
• How fear never disappears—but you can build resilience to keep going forward
• Why customers, not your initial idea, should guide your product

Vicki's story is a masterclass in grit, adaptability, and courage.
