sometimes... you actually do want to know how the sausage is made. 

on this episode of read receipt i’m chatting with cara nicoletti, a 4th generation butcher and founder of seemore meats & veggies. seemore is a woman-owned sausage company making products with humanely-raised meat and up to 35% vegetables in each link. 

with product names like la dolce beeta, it's not too difficult to see why these sausages are grinding through the old way people consumed and wasted meat. after working through the new york city butcher and restaurant scene,  nicoletti began experimenting with placing veggies into handmade sausages after customers were reluctant to try her veggie burgers.

since then, the demand for more sustainable meat has exploded and landed seemore in retailer giants like whole foods. 

today we explore what it means to fight through ceo self-doubt, why the sausage is the og sustainable food, and how the #metoo movement and global pandemic helped shine a spotlight on the dark corners of the meat processing industry.

today on read receipt i’m talking with nikki and erica from yes way rosé, the extra-dry, easy-drinking french rosé that leaves you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and maybe, even, a bit wittier.

these two high school friends turned founders launched the instagram account @yeswayrosé back in 2013 as a creative space for their rosé meme humor. way back before instagram became a brand incubator as we know it now.

they wanted everyone to live in rosé pink, peachy color, so they hit the books and the bottles to develop something they’d be really excited to drink.  

we explore listening to your creative instincts, how the brand was able to launch with retail giant target, and how taking the space to be best in the market, rather than first to market ends up all the more refreshing.
