The Story of a Brand Show episodes

  • Three Wishes - Always Start Your Day with Three Wishes

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

     

    “A better-for-you cereal brand,” that's the essence of Three Wishes. Today we have Margaret Wishingrad, Founder and CEO of Three Wishes, a brand that creates low sugar, grain-free, and high protein cereal using minimal clean ingredients.

    It all started when they had their son and discovered that “most cereal is just dessert masquerading as breakfast.” Since Margaret and her husband had experience building an ad agency, they asked themselves, “why not make our own.” The rest is history.

    She says that parenting helps in business because, in both cases, you have to multitask. Parenting also helps with problem-solving, that's useful for entrepreneurs as well.

    In the first half, Margaret talks about:

    * Gratefulness towards her husband * What it's like to raise a child * How was her journey * Story of the 'Three Wishes' name * What is grain-free

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

    “We're the world's first dedicated single-origin food company,” Belal El-Banna, CEO and Co-Founder of Single Origin Food Co.

    The idea for the brand came from another co-founder, Colin Carter, when he developed adult epilepsy in his early 40s. He tried to balance up his medication, so he started drinking coffee. Then, in his attempt to find a better cup of coffee he came across single-origin coffee. He liked the single-origin concept so much; it led them to start the company.

    Belal says that they don't look at themselves as a “for-profit” instead of more as a fair profit. They want to be transparent and serve the best quality at a reasonable price.

    He talks about:

    * Gratefulness * Overview of the brand * Difficulty in finding farmers * Early days of the company * How they make cost work * Where their products are sold * Challenges in pandemic * Why honey

  • ShoppingGives - The Great Retail Reset

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

     

    “To make doing well approachable,” that's the idea behind ShoppingGives. Today we have Ronny Sage, Founder and CEO of ShoppingGives, a social impact commerce platform.

    Ronny has always been entrepreneurial and passionate about building a community. At some point, he went to work for an education nonprofit where he noticed a funding problem. Sometime later, he started solidifying his idea for a company or platform to help brands align social impact to bottom-line outcomes.

    According to Ronny, 2020 was a great retail reset because there was a shift in the expectations of employees and customers. For Ronny, more people are looking beyond the products and seeing the brand’s stance on any number of social impact issues.

    He talks about:

    * Gratefulness * Overview of the company * His early career * Concept behind ShoppingGives * A great retail reset

  • Jojo Shoes - Shoes Designed from Our Hearts to Your Soles

    **This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, FenixCommerce, and EcoCart**

     

    Jojo Abolarin designs shoes for powerful, fun, and confident women. In the second half of our interview, the owner and designer of Jojo Shoes shares her marketing journey, which was not as easy as designing shoes.

    In the beginning, she nervously marketed her shoes in shoe markets but gained confidence as she sold her first six shoes to a customer. She then realized that she needed help with this business.

    Jojo got a lot of help from social media, so she ended up opening a shared store. Her shoes got featured in several magazines that boosted her sales too. She says that she is debating whether to repeat designs or come up with new ones only. Her upcoming designs are for the fall season.

    She talks about:

    * Road to growing her business * Opening a store * Not repeating designs * Talking design risk * New launches and her plans

    Designing fun, comfortable and stylish shoes - that’s the mission of Jojo Shoes. Owner and designer Jojo Abolarin says her challenge finding the right shoes for herself inspired her company.

    Raised in Nigeria, Jojo says that education is important for her family and many others in her native country. Though she had an early interest in fashion and shoes, Jojo chose to go to medical school after getting a bachelor's degree in biology. She later earned a master's degree in IT.

    In 2017, she started thinking about making shoes cute but comfortable shoes during her time working in Pittsburgh. This thought led her to drawing shoes and eventually transformed into her first design, then her first complete pair of shoes. Then she started designing & making shoes for her family and friends.

    In the first half of this Feature, Jojo talks about:

    * Gratefulness towards her sister * Overview of the brand * Her years studying medicine and IT * Her early love of shoes and fashion * Finding production companies to help

  • Renewal Mill - Treats that You and the Planet will Love!

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

     

    Reach for more sustainable options, says Caroline Cotto, COO of Renewal Mill, in the second half of this Feature. She points out that it's essential to educate consumers. In their case, education was a challenge because people had never heard of upcycling. So, she advises other brands to find their community and use collective actions to further momentum.

    Caroline gives an account of the timeline of the Renewal Mill. In 2016, the brand was started. In 2018, they commercialized their first ingredient, and last year right before the pandemic, they launched their baking mix. The newest addition is a brownie mix launched in March of 2021.

    Renewal Mill wants to continue adding new ingredients to its portfolio. It's always interested in what people want and what's missing in the market.

    In part 2, Caroline talks about:

    * Advice for those trying to build sustainable brands * Promotion in pandemic * When they launched * Plant-based products * Retails * Video content * Her message

  • Renewal Mill - A Delicious World-Changing Idea

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

     

    To reduce food waste and fight climate change - that's the mission of Renewal Mill. Today, we feature Caroline Cotto, COO of Renewal Mill, an upcycle food company.

    Caroline, Co-founder of Renewal Mill, realized that Wastage was happening across all parts of the supply chain within food manufacturing. This realization was the catalyst for launching the brand. Their vision and mission: “To create a new circular economy of food that closes the loop in today’s current supply chains, keeps valuable nutrition from going to waste, and reduces our impact on the environment.”

    In 2019, they helped to start the Upcycling Food Association. Upcycling is making sure that food is put to its best and highest use. She says upcycling allows them to make something out of the excess and byproduct of food manufacturing.

    She talked about:

    * Gratefulness * Overview of the brand * Upcycling Defined * How the Co-Founders got the Idea * What got her excited about upcycling * Hurdles with tofu byproduct * The reaction of their partners * Their products

  • Sloomoo Institute - Discover Your Own “Joy” with Slime

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

     

    Large corporations such as Nike, Dell, and Google have discovered their own “joy” with slime, thanks to Sloomoo Institute. In part 2, Karen Robinovitz and Sara Schiller, Co-Founders of Sloomoo Institute, continue with advice for entrepreneurs looking to jump into brand-new marketspaces.

    They already had successful careers, and they were in their late 40s when they started Sloomoo Institute. Having past corporate and entrepreneurial experienced helped them in their company's rapid growth too. Today, their brand works with big brands to bring joy.

    The brand's name came from the online behavior in 2016 and 2017 when the slime community replaced the vowels in their name with double O’s. So, Karen and Sara came up with 'Sloomoo' by replacing I and E with double Os.

    In part 2, Karen and Sara talk about:

    * Friendship and business * Separation of responsibilities * Playing with slime * Visual experience * Brand's name * Their location * What's next

    Join Ramon Vela, Karen Robinovitz, and Sara Schiller as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.
