  • Ep. 85 Amy Tucker
    This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Amy Tucker, the founder of Salty Britches, a company that specializes in a unique ointment designed to prevent saltwater chafing. Amy's journey is one of true entrepreneurship, starting from a personal need when her son suffered from severe chafing during beach vacations. Unable to find an effective solution, Amy, a chemist by training, took matters into her own hands. She concocted a formula in her kitchen that worked wonders, and after sharing it with friends and family, she realized the potential to help others.
    Despite being a self-proclaimed "reluctant entrepreneur," Amy's determination led her to establish Salty Britches. She shared with us the pivotal moment when a Facebook post about her product garnered overwhelming interest, leading to the birth of her business. Amy's story is a testament to the power of social media and community support in launching a brand. Thank you for tuning in! If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe
