On this episode, I speak with Elizabeth Gascoigne, founder and CEO of Absence of Proof, a non-alcoholic events company and online retailer. Listen as Elizabeth talks about her own journey with sober curiosity and how it led her to create a company and brand around event curation sans alcohol in New York City. The popularity of her sober nightlife parties has spread immensely in the past year only further proving how large the market is for younger consumers looking to spend time with friends and enjoy a night out without drinking. Elizabeth is in a growth stage of her business, recently taking her venture full-time and launching Absence of Proof parties across the United States, with Los Angeles as her next focus market.

Is ‘Entrepreneurial Spirit’ something you’re born with or something you learn?
On this episode, I speak with my dear friend Justina Langone. Justina is the owner and manager of Remedy Exchange, a superfood cafe located in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Listen as Justina and I discuss her evolution with food - starting her journey as a body builder, to personal trainer, and ultimately taking a chance on herself and opening a cafe. Her business, Remedy, began with the mission of building community and the idea that food is medicine, and nutrition is the key to a healthy life. Now, Justina is in her 5th year of business with Remedy and has certainly learned to thrive while playing many roles to make her business successful. Listen as we discuss how she kept her business alive during a pandemic and how her entrepreneurial spirit has progressed through the years.

Today on the podcast I speak with Jenny Courtney a professional working in digital customer experience. Listen as we discuss what led Jenny to this specific career track, as well as what the digital customer experience may look like in 2023. Customer Experience, also known as CX, can be defined as ‘How your customers perceive your brand, based on their interactions with it.’ This makes CX data critical to brand and service management to companies both big and small. Companies capture this data using systems like voice analysis, follow-up emails (think after purchase), text surveys, etc. On the podcast, Jenny discusses both good and bad examples of CX we may all run into daily, as well as opportunities in this career track, and her personal experience working during the pandemic as both corporate professional and Mom, to two sweet little ones.

On this episode, I speak with Maia McCann Head of Programming for In The Know, by Yahoo, a digital media and video platform that specifically targets Gen Z.

In this episode, Maia opens up about the career pivots and survival jobs that helped her grow into the major media industry leader that she is today.

Think product sales can’t come from social media? Think again.
On this episode I speak with Casey Sarai, co-owner of Cakes Body, a brand that designs innovative alternatives to the traditional bra while giving back to women's health causes. Casey and her sister Taylor (co-owner) worked the first half of their careers in sales and marketing positions for large corporations. In January of 2022, they took the knowledge and skills they garnered from those jobs and translated them into their own company with the launch of Cakes. This year they are on track to make ONE MILLION DOLLARS in profit and truly they are just getting started. The entrepreneur/sister duo is already working on product line extensions and have secured themselves a spot in the top 1% of Shopify Stores, meanwhile donating thousands of dollars to women’s health causes.
A key pillar of their success is their marketing strategy and monetization of Tik Tok, which has resulted in millions of views, and officially made their product viral. In this episode, Casey breaks down their strategy to utilizing viral marketing to build their brand through social media.
