    Inventing a new category of beverage with Dawn Maire, Co-Founder of Starla Alcohol Removed Wines

    Inventing a new category of beverage with Dawn Maire, Co-Founder of Starla Alcohol Removed Wines

    Starla is the first and only premium alcohol removed wine created for wine lovers wishing to nix the spirits, but savor the experience. Their trio of varietals: Red Blend, Sauvignon Blanc and Sparkling Rosé are delicious for sipping, socializing, and pairing.

    The only thing more delightful than the bevvie is the branding – Dawn and Jamie wanted to take an untraditional approach to branding Starla – one that was undeniably feminine, highly stylized and lifestyle-focused.

    With a push towards the beauty and fashion world, they worked with an amazingly talented design team to give Starla her fashion-forward image, from bottle to brand.

    The Starla label is a colorful expression of radiant light surrounding the reflective female cameo image known as Starla. Starla represents the inner star in all of us and the brand imagery tells the story of how luminous your life can be on your terms, without alcohol.

    I had so much fun sitting down with Dawn on this episode of PM School to cover all things launching your alcohol-alternative brand.

    Grab your glass of Starla, grab your biz bestie & tune in!!!

    Stop trying to do it all feat. Jewel Zimmer and Taylor Lamb, Co-Founders of Juna

    Stop trying to do it all feat. Jewel Zimmer and Taylor Lamb, Co-Founders of Juna

    The ‘do it all’ generation of women are experiencing sensory and schedule overload like never before. The result — anxiety is the #1 leading mental health disorder in America, 55% are stressed, 1 in 4 have insomnia symptoms, increases in hormone imbalances, increases in infertility, over stimulation, and lack of sex drive.

    Juna’s mission is to design the most effective, plant-powered formulas for the modern woman.

    As mothers and career women, Taylor Lamb and Jewel Zimmer knew the feeling and needed an effective, yet non-pharmaceutical, solution to optimize their minds, bodies, moods, and sleep. They created Juna's powerful active botanical blends to help women, like them, show up everyday as the best version of themselves.

    It’s such an honor to sit down with two epic founders (whose products I adore – try the Night Cap tinctures if you get a chance!). I hope you enjoy this episode as we dive into how the two of them merged their superpowers to create an epic brand that supports your holistic wellness.

    Grab your glass of wine, grab your biz bestie & tune in!!!

    How to Align Your Personal Mission, Vision and Values to Your Business Venture with Sara Cullen, Founder of GEM

    How to Align Your Personal Mission, Vision and Values to Your Business Venture with Sara Cullen, Founder of GEM

    Have you ever wondered if there were clues from childhood pointing you in the direction you’ve always been meant to head?

    Sara Cullen wrote a letter to herself in third grade saying she wanted to be a baker when she grew up. After spending her early career in Agriculture and Sustainable Food, she made her way to Venture for America, a program that exposed her to the world of E-Commerce and leveraging digital data to build products that customers are obsessed with.

    GEM is a VC-backed platform for nutrition founded on the principle that food is medicine – the first application is a re-imagined multi-vitamin bite that you take daily to improve your overall health and nourishment.

    Listen to this episode if:
    - You like to experiment with businesses and baked goods.
    - You want an inside look into building not one, but two, better-for-you consumer brands in the food and beverage space.
    - Have thought about how you’ll get your business off the ground financially and want lessons from a pro who has raised multiple rounds of venture capital and talks about why she went that route versus other options available.

    Grab your glass of wine, grab your biz bestie and tune in!

    Can’t wait to hear what you think,
    Stef
