Do you have a passion for starting a business, but have been told your idea would never be successful? That's what Abigail Cook Stone experienced when she decided to turn her moderately healthy obsession with candles into her own business. But after she proved there was outside interest in her idea by raising 2.7 million in a seed round and her company began to grow, her detractors started singing another tune.

Abigail firmly believes if you find the right product or service for you, become a subject matter expert on it, and harbor a deeply unshakable conviction that your idea will work, you can materialize a successful outcome. From selling toothbrush bangles as a kid in school to the launch of her luxury candle company, Otherland, hear more about her journey, and find out who and what inspired her along the way.

Make sure to tune in until the end to find out how you can win a 3-pack of Otherland candles in our giveaway!
