Apologies to our listeners looking for a new episode last week, some projects at the station ended up demanding a little extra time.
But we are back with a brand new episode, joined by Jordan Blackhurst, the founder of Dharma + Dwell.
Jordan found inspiration where a lot of us do: in the shower. One day she looked around and realized so much of our self-care, beauty, bath, and home products are produced, contained and distributed in a wasteful way.
And while plenty of people WANT to be more conscious consumers, sometimes having a guide makes it a lot easier. So Jordan set out to build a business that makes it easier for consumers to consume more ethically and environmentally friendly.
She joined Meet St. Louis to talk about what it takes to build a business based on beliefs, and all the bumps and bruises she experienced along the road to where she is today. Because it’s always easy to make concessions. It’s hard to stick to your guns and create something the way you believe it needs to be made.
