Building a Business with Heart | Madame Founder with Marti Wymer
Manage episode 448021875 series 3576880
Marti Wymer, the heart and soul behind Spoonful of Comfort, started a company where you can send delicious soups, tasty sweets, and comforting gifts to loved ones. After tragically losing her father and learning of her mother’s cancer diagnosis, she wanted to send a meaningful gift to her mom that said, “I love you and I care.” Flowers just didn’t seem personal enough. From there, a midnight spark of creativity (chicken soup) became the start of a booming business.
In this episode of Madame Founder, Marti opens up about her evolution from being a young girl hustling door-to-door, selling tickets to her own plays, to becoming a powerhouse entrepreneur. Growing up with parents who embodied resilience taught her invaluable lessons that she carries to this day. A midnight “aha” moment led to Spoonful of Comfort, her unique comfort-care business, which soared after a lot of grit and determination led to a big PR break, and ultimately, the company becoming the face of “showing care and support” during the Covid pandemic. Through it all, she emphasizes the importance of small (I’m talking itty bitty) intentional steps and leaning on the support of her community. Her latest venture, Spoonful of Sugar, adds a sweet twist to her mission of spreading joy and connection. Join us as she shares her heartfelt insights and the incredible power of building community, reminding us that when we all come together, we can create joy and connection in the SWEETEST ways!
