In this fun and insightful episode, we sit down with lifelong besties Jess and Becca, the dynamic duo behind Alben Lane Candle Co. These two brilliant women have built a thriving business together, winning numerous awards and landing on many "must-watch" lists, all while navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
Jess and Becca share their journey of chasing the dream of running a business together - from the wins and losses to the expectations they place on themselves and face from others. As they discuss their experience with Imposter Syndrome, we explore how both identify with the Perfectionist, Superhuman, and Soloist archetypes and the impact this has on their work and self-perception.
We dive into the joys and challenges of working with your best friend, including their creative process for choosing candle scents, balancing personal and professional dynamics, and the vulnerability of having their names tied to their brand. Jess and Becca also offer advice for entrepreneurs, insights into their business growth, and a peek at what’s next for Alben Lane Candle Co.
This episode is packed with laughs, inspiration, and practical wisdom for anyone on a similar journey - or anyone who loves a great candle story! Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation about friendship, entrepreneurship, and staying true to yourself.
