Aromatherapy

Kourtney Perry is authentic in a way that delivers consistency. She shows up and sets the vibe with scents that connect to the human experience. Light a candle from Ladie Lex Candles, close your eyes, and enjoy! This episode explores how Kourtney took her business from the basement to a physical storefront, and now a mobile boutique fueled by a community of true fans.

After the breaks, we hear key takeaways from Kourtney’s experience working through Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women, Black Entrepreneur Bunkers Lab Series, Walkers Legacy Prospectus Procurement Accelerator, and the FedEx Learning Lab. We share one whiff we’d like to take before we pass, commemorate Neighbor’s Day, how to manage a growing product line, building strategically with customer segmentation, and the values of private journalling versus publishing in public.

Now & Later

Welcome to Wisconsin! Ben McDougal was visiting UW Stevens Point to deliver You Don’t Need This Keynote at the 2024 Think Like an Entrepreneur event. As part of a wonderful whirlwind, he jumped into a local recording studio with two local leaders at different stages in life.

Evan Stanislawski is a recent graduate of UWSP, while Matt Vollmer did the same 10 years ago. After a traditional start to his career, Matt is now an adjunct professor and the CEO of Arbré Technologies, which enables data to help the horticulture industry track the lifecycle of plants. Evan is making a ruckus in vintage clothing, while also turning a wrench in the family plumbing business, which may lead to business succession opportunities.

Together, we chat about building on the timeline of now, while staying patient to make better business decisions. We also jam on real skills, diversified career portfolios, activating digital depth, and how the non-linear path toward success often includes combinations of achievement and lasting fulfillment.
