Selling online is not a new phenomenon. But in today’s world, it is the easiest way to do business. With millions going online to start selling their products, every brand must fight harder to stand out. 

How is Kudrat doing it? Kudrat owns an online store where she sells artisanal handmade soaps. From sourcing, raw materials to designing packaging, every part of the production process is done by Kudrat herself. 

And the beauty of her product does not end with the making of the product itself. The ingredients that go into making a particular soap, are experimented with and then carefully chosen to give you not just a product - but an entire experience. 

Want to feel like you are on a beach without stepping out of your washroom? Want your party guests to feel like that return favours had that extra oomph to them? Kudrat’s got you. 

A serial entrepreneur, Kudrat talks to us about the joys of getting to create and ideate on her own. Not every product is a success - but when has entrepreneurship been only about the end result? 

It’s a journey and a thrilling self-gratifying one at that!

“It’s like a big warm hug.” 

Okay, how do you argue with a sentiment like that? You don’t—which is why Tien Nguyen has seen such incredible eCommerce success with her soft, customized and beautiful hand knitted blankets.  

My friend, as you’ll learn on today’s podcast, Tien didn’t always have that level of success. In fact, when she first joined the 0-100K System—one of the courses I teach—she only had $300 in her bank account. 

THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Can you imagine? 

But she took a leap of faith and started her amazing journey—and it’s a journey that I think will fascinate you. Here’s why: because as she shares it with you on the podcast, she identifies the very specific steps she’s taken (and still takes) to keep her business growing. 

So get ready to learn about hugs, reels, TikTok videos…and how many amazing hand knit blankets Tien has shipped out. (Warning: your jaw is probably gonna drop a bit.)

Celine Underwood has dedicated much of her life to the pursuit of the perfect loaf of bread. She started baking during a tumultuous time and later founded Brickmaiden Breads in Point Reyes, CA. The Bay Area is known for sourdough bread, and in this competitive market, Brickmaiden stands out as an iconic bakery where the most common review is, “best sourdough I’ve ever had,” even when at their peak they’re making 500 loaves a day.

The final episode of our first season brings you into the world of bread baking (what goes into the perfect loaf?) and gives you a behind-the-scenes view into the day to day of running a food business (ready for 2 am training?)

As we celebrate Brickmaiden's 21st anniversary, Celine opens up about her decision to sell the business. We explore what led her to this transition point, and go back in time, to the early days, to the story of how it all began, what has kept her going, and what it’s all meant.
