  • Zolt - Focusing on Mood, Mind, and Body

    **This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, ShoppingGives, DRVE, and CartLoop**

     

    “Mood, mind, and body” are the areas that Zolt's products look to affect. Today we have Ani Collum and Douglas Siegel, Co-Founders of Zolt, a wellness brand in the plant-powered beverage space.

    Ani was psychology and Spanish major in college. She has a background in retail, consulting as well as marketing. For Douglas, he had a background in alcohol distribution and food science. They connected through a mutual friend, and interestingly, they started the brand, having only met via zoom.

    Douglas used to look for ways to reach a state of 'zen,' and that's when he thought of the word 'jolt.’ Combining these two words resulted in the brand's name 'Zolt.’ The brand combines plants with science to bring people full-body wellness. Their biggest challenge in launching the brand was pivoting their distribution strategy.

    They talked about:

    * Gratefulness * Overview of the brand * Name 'Zolt' * How they met * Challenges

  • Nutty Scoopz - A Healthier Snack

    **This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, StoreYa, and Justuno**

     

    “To regain the independence that I had” was Tina's motive behind Nutty Scoopz. Today we have Tina Parks, Founder and Creator of Nutty Scoopz, a brand that makes sugar-free peanut butter dips.

    Tina was in nursing for 20 years. In 2017, due to her neck surgery, she was unable to continue her work. However, she always wanted to be independent, which eventually led her to create Nutty Scoopz. The healthcare setting is focused on taking care of others, and she applies that concept to the Nutty Scoops and customers. Plus, you have to be adaptable in healthcare, and like healthcare, a business startup can be overwhelming.

    She advises new entrepreneurs to get a business mentor and surround themselves with a good team. Equipment and involving a co-packer are essential for her from a scalability standpoint.

    In part 1, she discusses:

    * Gratefulness * Overview of the brand * Her background * How she started Nutty Scoopz * Comparing healthcare * Her advice

  • Haven's Kitchen - Making You Feel Good about Cooking

    *This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, Repeat, and CartText**

     

    In the second half of this feature, Alison Cayne, Founder of Haven's Kitchen, says that what’s important to them is getting something on the table that you feel really good about.

    According to Alison, she won’t sacrifice the quality and taste of the sauces and use cheaper ingredients. Lately, Haven's Kitchen received a logo update, package color changes, and QR codes too.

    The brand makes sure that it's adding value to the world, not just taking resources from the world. That's why it donates 1% of its profits. They want to be a part of the solution and effect positive change.

    She talks about:

    * Adding value to the world * Challenges for a brand * The perfect product * Their flavors * Refreshed Haven's Kitchen

    Join Ramon Vela and Alison Cayne as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.
