This episode features my favorite startup candle company, The Sol Brothers. Elliott and Nahom are long-time friends who started a business together in 2020, right before the COVID pandemic hit. They create soy candles that feature amazing scents, and we talked about how they’ve stayed afloat (and motivated) during such unstable and trying times.&nbsp;

Part 2 [MOTIVATION]: Creating an experience (not just a product)

Creative Doula Sessions is a project where stories and ideas are given space to grow. Hosted by Rachel (Rae) — lifelong writer, creative strategist, and owner of Makeshift Muse. Rachel digs into creative ideas and words in each episode, and invites you to relish in their meaning with her. She’ll also share stories of transformation, passion, and struggle, from people in the creative and queer communities. This series aims to inspire you to write, sculpt, build, and cook up stories of your own.
