Hello friend,
Happy Thanksgiving! This happens to be my favourite holiday of the year. The first turkey dinner. The whole family around the table. And the beauty of fall. I’m grateful to each of you for joining me here every Sunday to learn about the latest woman-owned brands that inspire me.
There is a common thread that runs through many of my recent conversations with Founders. It’s joy. They are women who have found joy in pursuing a new venture. They also spread joy with the products they bring to market. I love the idea of celebrating joy on Thanksgiving weekend and that we can find it in the work of enterprising women. I hope you enjoy their stories.
