Building a Business with Heart | Madame Founder with Marti Wymer 1:05:14

1:05:14

Marti Wymer, the heart and soul behind Spoonful of Comfort, started a company where you can send delicious soups, tasty sweets, and comforting gifts to loved ones. After tragically losing her father and learning of her mother’s cancer diagnosis, she wanted to send a meaningful gift to her mom that said, “I love you and I care.” Flowers just didn’t seem personal enough. From there, a midnight spark of creativity (chicken soup) became the start of a booming business. In this episode of Madame Founder , Marti opens up about her evolution from being a young girl hustling door-to-door, selling tickets to her own plays, to becoming a powerhouse entrepreneur. Growing up with parents who embodied resilience taught her invaluable lessons that she carries to this day. A midnight “aha” moment led to Spoonful of Comfort, her unique comfort-care business, which soared after a lot of grit and determination led to a big PR break, and ultimately, the company becoming the face of “showing care and support” during the Covid pandemic. Through it all, she emphasizes the importance of small (I’m talking itty bitty) intentional steps and leaning on the support of her community. Her latest venture, Spoonful of Sugar, adds a sweet twist to her mission of spreading joy and connection. Join us as she shares her heartfelt insights and the incredible power of building community, reminding us that when we all come together, we can create joy and connection in the SWEETEST ways!…

Jesslyn Rollins, CEO of BIOLYTE, transformed the hydration landscape! From theater stage to managing her mother’s cancer treatment, listen to what inspired her medical-grade hydration solution. Here Jesslyn discusses how her father, “Dr. Dad”, an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, worked for years to perfect a first-of-its-kind formula for medical-grade hydration... an IV in a bottle. Listen as she shares her openness to making mistakes, her grassroots approach to building BIOLYTE and her knack for assembling a talented team. One of her key insights: “You don’t have to be perfect.” Let’s face it, we all want things to be perfect when we launch something, but if you wait for perfection to get started, you’ll never begin anything! Hopefully, embracing this approach can give all of us some freedom. In the episode, she also outlines the three versions of mistakes we all face, from minor ones like buying a new hat that doesn’t work to those that sting a bit more like a bad haircut, and ultimately, the biggies that take hard work, time, and strategy to overcome. Jesslyn encourages listeners to try on many hats but warns against digging yourself into a hole! Discover how she’s positioning BIOLYTE as the top choice for hydration and learn more about her vision to outshine the competition. Don’t miss this electrifying episode that bursts with creativity, resilience, and innovative thinking! It’s a RAGER!…

Ashley Baskerville, founder of AB Mentality is a passionate sports psychologist, mental performance coach and self-proclaimed research nerd. In this episode, she shares how growing up in a loving, yet fiercely competitive family shaped her outlook on life, learning resilience and the importance of support – especially when UNO was banned on holidays (sometimes certain family traditions are better left un-played)! With a mission to empower others, Ashley emphasizes that you don’t actually have to be born with confidence, it’s a choice you can make every single day. We learn that most people fail at achieving their goals due to unrealistic expectations. What’s the solution? Anticipate and plan for the obstacles ahead, understanding that the path to success is rarely straightforward. As we discuss goal setting, choosing confidence and mental health, it would be a miss to not celebrate athletes like the GOATs, Simone Biles and Michael Phelps. They remind us that mental struggles are universal – even the best of the best have their “off days”. Tune in for Ashley’s actionable tips on choosing to be confident, embracing discomfort, and giving your best—even when your "best" feels more like a solid 70%. Real growth comes from recognizing challenges and making the conscious choice to push through.…

Feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or like your confidence is slipping away? You’re definitely not alone! Join us for a powerful episode with Joan Kuhl, where we dive into the vital importance of community, the challenges women face with burnout, and the essential role we all play in empowering the next generation of girls. We really get into the tough stuff women are facing today, including the staggering fact that we burn out at TWICE the rate of men. So, if you’re feeling exhausted, just know you’re in good company! Joan sheds light on the record rates of loneliness many women experience as we often just put our heads down and “get it done.” She emphasizes how crucial positive self-talk is in those moments. We also tackle a pressing issue: girls’ confidence can start to nosedive as early as age six. Isn’t that heartbreaking? But the good news is that we, as adults, have the power to change this for the younger generation. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about building resilience, helping women overcome burnout, and encouraging the next generation of girls to reclaim their confidence and rewrite their narratives.…
