Most of us start our parenting journey with an infant and we learn along with them, the lessons of motherhood and even more about God. But what would it be like to leapfrog straight into parenting at the teen years? Kristi did just that. Today she shares the journey of God's refining work in her life as she and her husband were placed into the role of parents overnight. We chat about unpredictable life changes, adjusting to expectations, loneliness in motherhood and God's good plan for our lives.

“Why food, beverage, and CPGs? Because it's tangible, it's something that's a part of everyday life. It's something that people get a lot of joy out of.” On today's episode of The Irresistible Factor, Kristi Bridges has a very special guest, Taylor Grant. Taylor is not only the Founder and General Partner of Cedar Capital, but he is also the Founder and CEO of Tribini – a ready to drink espresso martini company. When Taylor worked in finance, he started angel investing in products he believed in and immediately fell in love with the CPG industry. He claims he “caught the bug”. Taylor didn't want to just invest, he wanted to add value. In 2020, Taylor discovered the world of venture syndicates and realized there was a white space in the CPG world, so he decided to fill it. Cedar Capital combines the investment side and the marketing side of growing a successful business. Shortly after he founded Cedar Capital, he founded Tribini, a ready to drink line of espresso martinis. Covid sparked the development of ready to drink cocktails and Taylor knew it was time to hop on board! Tribini offers mixologist-quality cocktails made with only the best ingredients. “I really wanted to create an authentic product, something that people can resonate with the actual authentic Espresso martini or however they envision that experience. Using natural ingredients, vodka-based, six-times distilled vodka is very important. No malt, no wine, nothing alternative, straight vodka, real espresso, all-natural ingredients.” Taylor talks about his decision to launch in DTC first so he can find the best product market fit while being efficient with their capital. Taylor believes this is the best tool to connect directly with their consumers and test things, so when it's time to go to retail there is data to back that up. “We know how to reach our customers. We know who they are, and we'll know how to market to them”. Taylor and Kristi also talk about the perks of working in the CPG community, why the magic combination for a successful entrepreneur is being both a “dreamer” and a “doer”, and why having a solid network is absolutely everything. Taylor dives into important advice for both investors and entrepreneurs.
“So, what I've discovered as an entrepreneur, starting Boba Bam, starting my other companies, is as long as you collect enough information about a particular issue, or risk or whatever, then it takes away all of that fear. Because then it turns into steps, and you know what to do at that point. So, my advice is to collect as much information to defeat your fear, and then it turns into actions, and then actions become results.” Chairman and Founder of Boba Bam, Bob Yau, and the big Boba boss, Brian Khoddam saw a gap in a growing market and were able to create a successful business with the help of a resourceful tool that's literally available to everyone - Google Trends. In this episode of Kristi Bridges' podcast, The Irresistible Factor, Bob and Brian share their perspective on Boba Bam's rapid success with their at home boba making kit. They started down a very unique path with one of the largest retailers in the world, Costco, and have since been expanding nationwide. Bob and Brian talk about their funding process, product awareness strategies, challenges thus far, and the importance of truly believing in your product. “If you really believe in something, you should take chances in life and go for it. Otherwise, you could go through your whole life regretting why you didn't take that chance.” — Brian Khoddam This is a success story entrepreneurs will be inspired by.
“The consumer is rainbow of colors, and all different genders and different backgrounds. We don't have necessarily that representation in the companies that are creating products and services for them.” In this episode of Kristi Bridges' podcast, The Irresistible Factor, Liz shares her experience of being a female investor and how she believes we are just scratching the surface in creating a more diverse field of investors. In fact, this is what really pushed Liz to become an investor - “I never really saw the type of person that looked like me or had my kind of background.” Liz has a real passion for helping others create and innovate - especially around things that help us live healthier, or help make the planet be healthier. Liz touches on a variety of topics from how she landed her unique position, to the types of companies she gravitates towards, to what it takes to be a successful brand. Liz is a wealth of information and is full of important advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and investors. “Where you start is not where you end up. Just enjoy the journey and the journey of growth. If you don't enjoy that journey, maybe being an entrepreneur isn't the right job.”
“I really wanted to create a brand that changed the way we eat and helps us feel a little bit more connected to each other and the world that we share and I'm hoping that that is what we're doing today at tattooed chef”. In this week's episode of Kristi Bridges' podcast, The Irresistible Factor, Kristi talks to Sarah about how she went from film school to being the founder of Tattooed Chef - creating delicious and healthy sustainable frozen meals. After traveling to Italy and reconnecting with her Italian routes, Sarah wanted to continue creating delicious sustainable food in the US. Tattooed Chef is serving up plant-based enchiladas, mac and cheese, pizza, and smoothie bowls in the notoriously challenging frozen category. Sarah's innovative branding and delicious “better for you” meals have created a brand that is quite irresistible. On the podcast, Sarah talks about her unique approach to creating her brand by starting in the club channel (a surprising choice!) and how going public early on has led her to over 16,000 points of distribution today. Sarah explains how she used “nostalgic innovation” - taking something familiar and making it relevant to what consumers are looking for today - to create her brand that people can't get enough of. Sarah also shares advice on how to conquer the stress that comes with being an entrepreneur and how sometimes pressure and stress can motivate you to do your best work. “I believe when you're really pushed through those moments that is when the best work happens, and you see things quicker, and you push harder, and you make things happen faster, and that's where I kind of like it”
For food-and-beverage brands, being unafraid to ask questions is key. “Something I wish that we had done early on is leaning into the [food and beverage] community,” shares Co-Founder of Sound, Tommy Kelly. “And not feeling like every problem needed to be solved internally. And being more vulnerable and again. I think that this comes back to sort of the LinkedIn conversation a little bit — around, if you see everyone's posting wins and how well they're doing, you can be reluctant to say, ‘I don't know what I'm doing,' or “I can't figure this out,' or you know, ‘Help me,' right?” On this episode of Kristi Bridges' podcast, The Irresistible Factor, Kristi and Tommy dive into the story of how two engineers working in the nuclear power industry became the founders of the coveted carbonated, unsweetened, organic tea company. Tommy shares how this journey has come with its fair share of challenges, but how his long-term focus and passion for quality ingredients catapulted the brand to household-name status. Tommy's advice? Welcome change, but be clear on your values. “Our brand name has changed,” he says, “our packaging has changed, our flavors have changed, our route to market has changed. All of these things have evolved but one thing that hasn't is our commitment to ingredient quality, our commitment to helping people drink less sugar.”
Corey Scholibo is the Co-Founder, President, and COO of Wile, a company that's brave enough to take on a taboo subject — perimenopause and menopause. On this episode of Kristi Bridges' podcast, The Irresistible Factor, Corey, and Kristi discuss what Wile does, and why its target audience is so important, along with the archetype Wile has created for women often overlooked in the market. Additionally, Corey shares his opinion that the attitude of “grin and bear it” through menopause is patriarchal and unnecessary. “[Menopause and perimenopause] is not a dysfunction,” Corey says. “It's not a system not functioning appropriately; it's functioning exactly as it's supposed to. We can do dramatic things to make it very different for you but there's no avoiding it.” Together, Kristi and Corey explore why women in their 40s are craving the ability to have a voice, and how Wile helps fulfill that desire. They also look at Wile's challenges and successes, marketing, and branding, where the name came from, and the lessons Corey has learned from working in this industry. Importantly, Corey shares his views on asking for help, and divulges advice on entrepreneurship: “If you are worried about rejection, you're in the wrong business.”
In recent years, kombucha has been hailed for its health benefits — most notably, as a source of probiotics. But some kombucha brands are loaded in sugar, undermining its proposed health qualities. Better Booch is different. They use less sugar than their counterparts, and have prioritized a high standard of quality and excellent taste. The reason they're so successful? Part of the story lies in their dynamic Co-Founders, Ashleigh and Trey Lockerbie. “Our whole mission,” reveals Trey, “is to bring health and wellness to a broader audience and make it very approachable and affordable.” On this episode of The Irresistible Factor, the couple share their perspective on Better Booch's rapid success, with top-shelf listings in stores nationwide, including Whole Foods, Target and Costco. You'll learn how Ashleigh and Trey took their product from a farmer's market to commercial shelves, how one ingredient changed everything, and what their biggest challenges have been. Together, host Kristi Bridges and the Co-Founders also dive into one of Ashleigh and Trey's genius moves: waiting to seek investor capital. Ashleigh and Trey share what they aim to achieve from their marketing campaign, what they believe to be the key to their rapid growth, and where they hope the business to be in the next five years.
Cedar Carter loves products that help improve people's lives. That's why she's CEO of The Good Patch, a company that creates wellness wearables for everyday struggles, using tried-and-true ingredients. On this episode of The Irresistible Factor, Cedar shares how she's pioneered this space. She also notes the challenges the company is facing, like teaching consumers about this new technology, and informing them of its benefits. Together, host Kristi Bridges and Cedar explore why reaching the right consumer is imperative to success. (That's why The Good Patch has a strong marketing and customer research operation.) Cedar also tells us the most exciting aspect of working at The Good Patch for her and what's next for the company. To fellow CEOs and entrepreneurs, Cedar says, “It's always better to keep your employees happy than to be constantly trying to find new ones.”
Today, it seems like sugar is added to almost every food product. That's why the brand High Key's mission is to remove 10 million pounds of sugar from the American diet, one sugar-free cookie at a time. On this episode of The Irresistible Factor, Joe Ens, CEO of HighKey, joins host Kristi Bridges to talk all things small business. He shares how he transitioned his career from the corporate world to something smaller — something he really believes in. In this episode, you'll hear about High Key's distribution, challenges, investment, marketing and innovation. Joe also discusses the importance of having a growth mindset and a strong sense of values to incorporate company culture. Together, they explore how the hybrid workforce of today has affected the workplace, as well as the difficulties small companies experience. Kristi and Joe also discuss how Joe's disciplined routine helps him get through difficulties and where he hopes to see HighKey in the next five years. To founders and CEOs, Joe's advice is, “You have to have something that has a value proposition — and in food, it better taste good!”
