As a woman in the traditionally male-dominated field of wine, Jessica Kogan faced numerous challenges, including microaggressions and a lack of respect. However, instead of letting these obstacles defeat her, she used them as fuel to grow stronger and ultimately became a powerful force in her career. Her unwavering determination and resilience have taught her the power of self-belief, ultimately helping her find her voice and inspiring others to do the same.
In This Episode:
- Jessica talks about the unique obstacles faced by women in the traditionally male-centric wine industry
- Know the importance of transparency and engaging storytelling in successful wine marketing
- Discover the art of effectively juggling motherhood, career, and entrepreneurship for a fulfilling life
- Achieve personal growth and empowerment by tapping into your inner voice
Jessica Kogan’s career began with a bang, helping brands like Donna Karan, Elizabeth Arden, and Urban Decay develop communications strategies and reinvigorate their image. But she was also forming a healthy obsession with something novel at that time: the internet. Ultimately, the call of opportunity coming from the digital world became too loud to ignore, so she picked up. After continued success aiding major players like Prada, Gucci, and Giorgio Armani in carving out their digital niches, she found herself ready for something new. She co-founded Cameron Hughes Wine and never looked back. Twenty-one years later, it remains a leader in DTC wine sales — and Jessica, now serving as their Chief Growth & Experience Officer, remains a strategy powerhouse within it and all brands nestled under the Vintage Wine Estates umbrella.
“I just would like to see more women around the table so that there’s more of an equal balance and so that we could actually get our best work done.”~Jessica Kogan

Many of us have had the honor to be a caretaker for loved ones in their final days of life. It was just five years ago that I had this journey with my sister. That time was filled with sorrow. It was filled with love and some of the most special moments of my life that I will forever cherish.
It’s an honor to introduce you to my dear friend, Lynn Abaté-Johnson. She shares her journey and her story with you which I know will touch your heart. This past fall, she launched her new book, Out Of Love a Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom to the End, sharing her story of being a caretaker to her mother. After being a primary caretaker to her mother for over six years, she understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that comes with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through caregiving rather than let it drown her.
In This Episode:
- Lynn shares her feelings when her book was launched and how she’s learning and practicing what she’s learning along the way
- Her realization that not all who went through the same journey have the same privileges
- She talks about her online community where people can gather and talk about the similarities and differences in their caregiving experiences
- How she learned that there are things in life that she cannot predict and control including sickness and death
- She shares her mission and purpose to reveal new horizons to help people understand that there are more possibilities and perspectives available as people try to navigate through unforeseen circumstances.
- The tools that will give emotional and logical support to caregivers
- The importance of taking a pause and trusting and being patient with yourself
Lynn Abaté-Johnson is an author, Speaker, Global Business Consultant, Kickass Community Director, and Social Media Marketing Specialist. She’s been building businesses from the ground up since she was 9 years old. Lynn has leveraged her business experience to empower and inspire others in their personal lives as well.
Today, as part of her devotion to developing communities, she speaks with cohorts of caregivers to help them discover they’re not alone, everything’s going to be ok, and there are tools they can use to ease the burdens they might feel as caregivers. By using her natural organizational skills and her solid work ethic, she developed systems and processes to help navigate the difficult journey of caregiving. Her book, Out of Love: A Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom To The End, provides care for caregivers by giving them the emotional and logistical support they need.
“People are exactly where they need to to be when they need to be there.” ~Lynn Abaté-Johnson
