Jimmy's Jobs of the Future

How I bootstrapped the UK's first CBD gin - Sally Wynter


Listen Later

This is the amazing story of how a young female entrepreneur turned an idea on the beach into a ground-breaking reality. 

Sally Wynter founded the UK's first CBD-infused Gin company, MUHU Spirits,  and bootstrapped her way into one of the most inspiring entrepreneurial stories of the last few years.

This is Sally's first-ever interview about how she did it and it's a really heartfelt discussion about the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur.

 This is the first episode of the interview with a second episode due next week where we get to know the more personal side of Sally. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • How she started where most entrepreneurs hope to end: on the beach.
  • How Sally came up with the name.
  • What CBD is and why it made for such a great product.
  • The lightbulb moment.
  • Cobbling together her first £1000.
  • Having to google the definition of an entrepreneur!
  • How class plays into entrepreneurship.
  • How she found mentors through events.
  • How winning a competition put her in the path of huge business leaders.
  • Why having a media background helped the launch of the product.
  • How she leveraged social media starting from scratch.
  • Where Sally turned to for advice.
  • Why Sally never hired anyone to help her on the business.
  • How she went about raising money.
  • The challenge of first investor meetings.
  • How Sally responded to rejection.
  • Learning about sweat equity.
  • The exit of the business and signing an acquisition deal.
