    Ep.11: Yaupon Brothers Origin Story with Kyle White

    Kyle got roped into Yaupon at an early age. In many ways, he grew up in this wild business. Together, he and Bryon have some crazy stories about building a Yaupon supply chain from scratch, filling thousands of teabags painstakingly by hand, and driving 600 miles twice per month to process our leaves. Luckily, our business today looks very different--but we are still keeping our promise to preserve and protect the environment and bring honesty and transparency back to business. Hope you enjoy!

    Ep.8: Embracing the Suck with Adina Grigore, Founder of S.W.Basics, Getting Real about Entrepreneurship

    We're joined by our pal, Adina, who founded the well-known beauty brand, S.W. Basics. Adina is also the author of Skin Cleanse and Just the Essentials, two guides on how to care for your skin and keep it happy. I can relate to Adina on a lot of issues, so this episode is a lot of fun complaining but also a discussion on how we think business, and society in general, could be a little more fair. Some explicit language in this one, but it sure it fun!
