If inspiration to take your handmade business to the next level is what you seek, tune in for my conversation with Anne-Marie Faiola, CEO and founder of Bramble Berry, the Bellingham, Washington-based online soap-making supply company and creator of the new Handmade Beauty Box, a monthly DIY project subscription service.
This podcast will be was recorded in two parts. The first part was recorded after her book “Soap Crafting: Step-by-Step Techniques for Making 31 Unique Cold-Process Soaps” was published in 2013 and the second part is an update that we recorded last week. The update includes the scoop on Anne-Marie’s new Handmade Beauty Box venture.
So grab a cup of of tea and enjoy the inspiring story of how Anne-Marie started making soap as a teenager and quickly developed her hobby into a profitable business. But it wasn’t a straight path to success for this “Soap Queen” and savvy businesswoman. Anne-Marie shares the story of how she had to reboot her professional life after a false start as a corrections officer and reveals behind-the-scenes stories of what it means to dream big and make things happen.
