Eric Roering, the brilliant co-founder of Fontana Candle Company, joins me on the podcast to share the remarkable journey of Fontana's growth. From humble beginnings in their kitchen to scaling into a large-scale factory, Eric and his wife Katie have not only built an impressive business but have also created a thriving workplace culture. Their story proves that it's possible to grow a successful brand while making a meaningful impact on their customers, team and the world.
In this episode we chat about:
- The importance of niching down and setting your candle brand apart in a competitive market.
- Why showing up on social media matters.
- When (and why) it's best to stay focused on your core product range instead of expanding too soon (or at all).
