Hello, I’ve been creeping for awhile. Love the podcast, listen to every episode!
I’m in food & beverage ( restaurant ), eCommerce, and retail. I’m the creative director for The Tea House on Los Rios. We have a Tea House restaurant in San Juan Capistrano, a retail store ( gift shop ) and are working on ramping up our eComm presence selling our loose-leaf teas.
Favorite DTC brand probably YT bikes. They’ve done an outstanding job disrupting the mountain bike market. More traditional DTC I can dig on Shinola. Not going to lie I have my eye on some Hexclad…
I’m hoping to just be in the mix. I don’t do a great job “getting out” so I really enjoy having the Pod and hope to connect with other marketers in here 👍
I spent 14 years as a product designer ( physical product) so I’m fairly new to marketing. Been at it for about 5 years. Still lots to learn!
My main struggle comes from being a one man team. Working at small businesses I’ve always been the solo marketing team. Basically all the pain that comes from that, time management, focus, efficiency, quality vs quantity… and of course trying to peek out of the weeds for some big picture work.
Anyway, happy to chat, happy to be here!

Think we're gonna have some good chats 😄 I'm a solo marketer too, so love soundboarding with others and both learning. Might have some tips to share re. focus etc - I work from home + got ADHD on steroids, so have had to search and test lots of strategies.
And yessss to loose-leaf tea. My fav 3-mint tea only does sachets/bags and I'm so sus of the material they use (it looks plasticky, and I hate plastic leaching). But they don't offer loose-leaf👎
