#011: Today we’re chatting with Alana Rivera, founder of Etta + Billie, an artisanal bath and body company. Feeling stressed at her job and needing to chill the EFF OUT, Alana began making soap inspired by farm-to-table food culture. Fifteen years later, Etta and Billie is a thriving, certified Green Business and has done some seriously cool brand collaborations — we’re talking donut soap, beer soap... you name it. 


In today's session, we'll discuss:

  • Why brand collabs are rocketfuel for your business
  • Alana’s tips on how to make brand collaborations super successful 
  • Why simply asking for what you want is an entrepreneur’s superpower
  • How to find sustainable suppliers
  • Why your product’s aesthetic makes a difference in the opportunities you receive
