Rowdy Mermaid’s story began in 2011 when Jamba Dunn, the company’s founder, began brewing homemade beer in his garage. Encouraged by his young daughter to create something she could enjoy, he set out to create a kombucha that was less sugary, less vinegary, less acidic, and ultimately safer. The result was Rowdy Mermaid kombucha, a meticulously crafted, function-forward kombucha that defied convention and was brewed with ethical principles. Today, Rowdy Mermaid stands as a leading beverage brand with an expanding portfolio of functional wellness beverages. The brand remains committed to creating delicious beverages made with functional plant medicine and sustainably sourced ingredients.
We learn the real health benefits of all the thoughtfully sourced ingredients used in these kombuchas, and why choosing a beverage like this is a great choice for our stomachs and souls! Chatting with Jamba was such a delight, he will captivate you with his storytelling and dazzle you with his family and community based approach to business. We are thrilled to be Rowdy Mermaid mega fans and can't wait for you to be too!

Born and raised in North Texas, Jaz’s roots run deep in cowtown. As a kid, he would spend hours in our garden or down by the river picking wildflowers; little did he know he’d be doing the same thing for life. Eventually, Jaz traded out his southern sun for sun-kissed shores and found himself in San Diego discovering my unique blend of coastal vibes and cowboy spirit.
Jaz truly believes that flowers have the power to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. Being intentional about the placement of every stem and every detail means that he gets to create that extra drama, romance, or excitement with each design. Jaz’s happiest memories revolve around flowers, and his goal is to pass that on to each of his clients.
College friends reunited, we were thrilled to learn from and be inspired by Jaz's entrepreneurial journey. We discuss imposter syndrome, anxiety, and learning as you go when doing something new. You'll learn wedding floral tips, do it yourself floral arranging strategies, and most of all feel the warmth and heart behind the truly incredible human that is Jaz. We are so excited to watch his many businesses unfold and keep celebrating him in the Secret Spiller community!
Follow Jaz @thefloralboyco and if you're in the San Diego area keep an eye out for his Valentine's Day pop up!

For our first interview of 2024 we got to dive into the softer and juicier side of things with creative, Rosalie Amber Grace. Rosalie is a Fertility Awareness Educator, poet, beekeeper, somatic student and devotee. She’s been channeling her feelings into poetry and writing since she could hold a pen. She’s an apprentice to the creative process, and a student of the nervous system. She recently published a poetry book which was a hard and beautiful process of overcoming her perfectionism and fear of being seen. She wants to create a space for creatives to be held in exploring and nourishing their relationship to their creativity through a somatic lens.
Our conversation flowed through all the feelings as we discussed the grief process, "unfreezing" yourself and your emotions, and reminding ourselves what it means to be human. What a perfect way to settle in to a new year. It was such a treat to get to know Rosalie's heart and if you connect with her like we did, you can join her next healing group online this week!

J & G absolutely adored getting to know Kristen and Katy from female founded and run, sustainable athleisure brand, Nube. This brand is really doing things differently: partnering with artists to build and uplift their creative community, growing slowly, and sourcing environmentally friendly materials. We talk about a beginner's mindset in entrepreneurialism and why that serves them well and reminded each other to always ask for help and allow your community to show up for you. We couldn't love the ladies and heart behind Nube more and are so thrilled to get to introduce you to this conscious company!
