Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Helping people achieve relief with skin ailments (eczema prone and sensitive) with products made solely from plant and bee ingredients. My wife struggles with severe eczema and the willingness to help from the dermatology world with natural/herbal/organic products was non-existent. The only thing she would get for help would be topical steroids, black box medicine, and jak inhibitors.

How do you stay motivated?

By knowing the products that my wife and I create help people without the use of chemicals, synthetics, or preservatives. When someone who has been using a product reaches out to let us know that its helping them, it not only gains us a repeat customer, but a trusting friendship knowing the integrity, intention, and quality of the products. Continuous reading and education. Using sustainably sourced botanicals, cold pressed oils, and unrefined beexwax are paramount in keeping motivation high.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put some towards clearing some of my wife's debts she's incurred through numerous doctors visits and roll the rest into the company to stock up on essentials (jars, bottles, etc.) and raw ingredients so we can manufacture more at a time. It would also help us in securing a production space to maximize output.
