Jacq Tatelman is the first to admit she didn't know what the heck she was doing when she founded STATE Bags (let's be honest, how many of us actually do?). STATE Bags is a mission-driven family bag company offering high-quality backpacks, bags and more for the whole family. Co-founded with her husband Scott in 2013, STATE was born out of the duo's work with disenfranchised youth and the need to provide even the smallest gift of confidence (like a new backpack) for the school year. Drawing on her experience in product development at companies like Saks Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel, and Scoop, Jacq is now the Co-Founder, CEO, and Creative Director of STATE, leading the creative vision, business development and growth of the brand as it continues to evolve. Throughout this conversation, Jacq and host, Lindsay Pinchuk, will discuss: How your mission should fuel everything. Knowing and prioritizing your entry point when creating your product. Finding the thing you love so much that it will carry you through the lows. Keeping your philanthropic efforts small and local. Surrounding yourself with people who believe in your vision and complement what you do. Knowing when to turn off. Quotes: • “What we try to do and what we say is that we don't necessarily go national for what we do. On the philanthropy side, we look at very small pockets of communities, and humans, and we say, ‘How can we make their lives better? What can we do to actually change their lives?'” (14:45-15:01 | Jacq) • “Talking to our customers where they were, marketing ourselves for the first time in the right way, and having the right product at the right time really changed everything. It was like flipping a switch.” (24:35-24:48 | Jacq) • “Team is everything.” (30:00-30:03 | Jacq) • “Listen to all the advice, but choose what you actually put into action with the advice that people give you. You can't listen to every app and do what everyone tells you to do. There are going to be a lot of people who are going to tell you, ‘Oh, you should do this. You should do that.' Okay, thank you. Thank you. Listen, listen, listen to everyone, have as many conversations as you can. And then you need to kind of sort out what you believe is right for you and your brand and take action on those things.” (43:17-43:44 |Jacq ) Connect with Jacq Tatelman: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/statebags Website | http://www.statebags.com/ Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Co-founder Jacq Tatelman talks about how the brand doubled its sales this back-to-school season and other expansion efforts, including a collab with Target.
Real-life married couple Jacqueline and Scot Tatelman launched STATE Bags — a certified B-Corp with a business model balancing profit and giving back — together in 2013. Originally created under the "one-for-one" model with just three backpack styles, the brand has since transitioned to more partnership-based give-back work. And in the seven years since its launch, STATE has donated more than 200,000 bags while also contributing 20% of gross profits to combat the most challenging issues of our time, from mass incarceration's impact on kids to the Flint water crisis. In this season's penultimate episode, Jacqueline and Scot share their most realistic practices for businesses committed to using their platform for good.

#237 -Listening to entrepreneur podcasts like How I Built This, I can’t help but want to dig deeper into the guest’s personal lives. I want to ask crazy questions like: When building an empire, does your husband ever feel needy or jealous of your success? Or did your withholding mother drive you to prove yourself to the world? What kind of snacks do you keep at the office? You know, questions people don’t typically ask unless they’re your close girlfriend. And while I don’t know these wildly successful founders personally, Atomic Moms podcast felt like the perfect opportunity to do that. In this compilation episode, we share highlights with three trailblazing founders: Jessica Rolph, Jacq Tatelman, and Raegan Moya-Jones.

Scot defines the term ‘social entrepreneur’ and has made it his life’s work to balance profitable business ventures with making the world a better place. After creating two non-profit summer camps serving kids from New York City, Boston and Chicago’s most underfunded neighborhoods, he set out to build a for-profit company with a non-profit pedigree, and launched STATE Bags with his wife, Jacqueline – a Brooklyn-born bag brand built on supporting American kids and families in situations of need. Places to Find Scot: Check out STATE Bags via https://www.statebags.com/ (their website). Or on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/statebags/ (@statebags) Show Notes: [3:00] minute: Set the stage for us, what was life like for you growing up and what beliefs around money and success were instilled in you at an early age? Grew up with a very successful Father who supported the community around him in large ways. Older sister that worked with kids running summer camps and other things. Was taught to think he was rich because of his loving family, not anything to do with the money they had. Money is just a thing, and not the most important thing. [6:00] minute: Tell me about how this passion started for you to give that opportunity to kids whose families couldn’t afford it? During his time running a summer camp in Maine he wondered why the gift that they were giving to kids who could pay for it couldn’t be given to kids whose parents can’t afford it. Next summer they launched Camp Northbound to serve underfunded neighborhoods. [8:30] minute: How did you fund these camps in the beginning? The first one was fully funded by the Mark Wahlberg Foundation, who has since made Camp Northbound a signature investment of theirs. When Scot started another camp, Camp Power, he used his network to raise funding to get the money to have served over 11,000 kids the last few years. [10:00] minute: Tell me the story then of how STATE bags was created? Where did you get this idea from? A few years into running Camp Power his wife and him noticed that a lot of kids were coming to camp carrying their things in trash bags or shopping bags. Wanted to serve those kids in our own back yards with more than just a handout of going to a camp. Created a one for one model bag company where every bag purchased from their company allows them to give one bag away via mass events called Bag Drops. [12:15] minute: What were some of the biggest challenges in taking STATE from a concept to a reality and creating the physical products? Any entrepreneur can attest to the fact that the challenges are endless. One of the largest was he and his wife, Jacq, figuring out how to work together while being married and raising kids. Trying to break away from the grouping of socially conscious businesses to really shine and innovate. [14:40] minute: Why did you retire the one for one model? Trying to show customers that they do so much more than just this one for one. First big initiative was an event in Flint, MI, to help with the water crisis that is going on there. Retiring the one for one allowed them to be more flexible with how they donated and what they supported. [16:45] minute: You have a really unique perspective going from non-profit first to for-profit and for-cause business second, so could you tell us about your perspective on the limitations of a non-profit and how creating a for-profit and cause business gives you leverage to do more? Different types of storytelling. Your tone is different when raising funds for a non-profit. With the for-profit business you are able to use avenues and channels that you just can not use with a non-profit. It allows it to be multi-faceted.

They put a new twist on the buy-one, give-one business model
Jacq Tatelman and her husband Scott are the Brooklyn-based duo behind State Bags, a one for one company that is making a difference in America. For every bag sold, they donate a backpack to a child in need. Their mission was inspired by an organization Jacq and her husband started in 2009 that sent underprivileged New York City kids to summer camp. They saw time and time again kids showing up with their belongings in plastic bags, and sought to start a company that could help change the lives of kids. Thanks to their amazing mission combined with their timeless designs, State Bags has gotten attention from celebrities and fashion bloggers, and has even collaborated with Beyoncé, Barack Obama, and Chance the Rapper. Today Jacq gives us a peek into the company: the culture, what it's like working with her husband, and how they've built brand awareness.
Imagine building a business with a heart, with the person who shares your heart. Scot and Jacq Tatelman are the founders of State Bags, a mission-driven company building on the 1-for-1 model for school kids in need. Why backpacks? Because they "represent where you've been and where you're going." Their bags are *fire* and they've partnered with Chance the Rapper, Beyonce, Kevin Durant and the White House. The love, admiration, and pride they have for one another is truly energizing (note the episode's "happy tears"). But they're honest about the challenges of co-founding and co-parenting: how pre-emptive couples therapy helped realign their roles, creating boundaries with their two energetic young kids, and how the heck you achieve work-life balance when Beyonce's peeps are calling while Jacq's in labor.

Ep. 51 - Scot Tatelman, alongside his wife Jacqueline, have built State Bags into a dominate force in the landscape of social enterprises who champion the 1 for 1 model. For every backpack purchased, they donate a backpack to an underpriveledged inner city kid right here in the USA. It's more than an honorable cause - it's an honorable life's purpose. On today's podcast, Scot expresses how leading with vulnerablity has been the key to his success. _______________________________________________ Guest: Scot Tatelman Web: http://www.statebags.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/statebags/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/statebags Twitter: https://twitter.com/statebags ___________________________________________ Creating Space Team: Wes Knight - Host - Web: www.CreatingSpaceMovement.com - Insta: www.instagram.com/wesleytknight/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/WesleyTKnight - Snapchat: www.snapchat.com/add/wesknight - Facebook: www.facebook.com/wes.knight/ Lo Myrick - Business Development - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lomyrick?fref=nf - Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lomyrick/ - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenlomyrick
Give Back Pack Introducing Scot Tatelman and State Bags It is truly great when you can buy a fantastic product for yourself and at the same time give a fantastic product to someone in need. This is exactly what happens when you purchase a bag from this week's Boiling Point guest. Scot Tatelman and his wife Jacqueline are the co-founders of State Bags, which is a one for one bag brand based out of New York City. Similar to companies like TOMS Shoes, for every State bag that is sold, State donates a fully stocked backpack to an American child in need; truly a win-win. But this is not even close to where the giving stops for this philanthropic couple. In fact, the whole idea for State bags came from another cause that is close to their heart. Scot and Jacqueline have a passion for providing summer camp to under privileged, inner-city children. They noticed that when campers were settling in to camp, many would bring their items in plastic garbage bags, an observation that while truly heartbreaking, provided the inspiration for State Bags. But this isn't even where the story ends, so check out this episode of the Boiling Point to see how business can truly make positive impact. In this episode Stephen Kopp is back hosting with a pantless Greg. We hear how Greg met Scot at the B Corp Champions Retreat in Philadelphia. Scot tells us about the Give Back Pack program. We hear how the creation of State bags was inspired through an observation made at summer camp. We hear how kids get more than just a bag, but also inspiration and confidence at State's bag drop events. Scot tells us how the company has changed from it's beginning and how it had to be about more than just mission. There is discuss how mission based brands should go about promote their product vs. their mission. Scot explains the importance of camp to him and his family, even if it occurs during the “super bowl” of backpack sales, back to school time. We learn the difference between traditional B-Corps and Benefit Corporations. Scot tells us about the additional issues State is taking on with the “What do we tell the Kids Project” Greg uses an analogy of Jenga to talk about taking greed out of capitalism.
