  • Next level value and care

    I’m a long-time hobbyist recently inspired to learn how to level up. Years ago, I watched and listened to everything on candle making. Nobody has come close to providing the value, education and creative insight as Sebastian. With every episode, I remain overwhelmed with gratitude that someone exuding such kindness and class chose to share their wealth of information backed by evidence of their honest success. This podcast/YT series is proof that gatekeeping doesn’t take you farther. Uplifting a... more

  • Finally!

    I have been a maker for more than 5 years and subscribe to various other marketing/makers podcasts. They are helpful. But this one blows them ALL out of the water for me. It’s like the difference between sitting in an audience of a 1000 people listening to someone teach vs having a 1-1 conversation with a mentor where they specifically meet and talk about your individual concerns. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and knowledge. I absolutely cannot wait to learn more!

From social media to how to approach wholesale accounts, I’ve learned something new (and super helpful) every time I listen. If you're dreaming of turning your... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Guessing And Start Selling After Your Candle Tests Pass
Q: What are the best places to buy supplies from, and how do you start with zero clients?
Use trusted suppliers (list provided in notes) rather than unknown sources like Amazon; choose vendors that offer reliable service and quality, and build a supply base that can be sourced from multiple suppliers to avoid outages; download the free supplier directory from the show notes.
Stop Guessing And Start Selling After Your Candle Tests Pass
Q: How do you start your small business when you have zero brand awareness and zero clients?
Define a single ideal customer and a clear niche, study where that person shops and hangs out, differentiate from competitors with bright, distinct branding, and communicate directly to that person in all marketing and packaging to attract initial customers.
Stop Guessing And Start Selling After Your Candle Tests Pass
Q: How do I keep the fragrance in the candle consistent and pleasant throughout the entire burn?
Ensure proper pouring temperature (below about 140 degrees, ideally 135) and give time for the mixture to cool and blend before pouring; differences in wax and oil binding affect scent throw, so adjust stirring, temperature, and wick size accordingly.
Stop Guessing And Start Selling After Your Candle Tests Pass
Q: When does someone know that testing is done and that you're ready to start selling your products?
Know you've found the right wick, wax, and oil, and that the candle burns cleanly from start to finish; test the recipe multiple times to ensure consistency, then proceed to scale by starting with a small initial line and using customer feedback to expand.
We Started a Candle Business From Our Kitchen. Here's How We Did It.
Q: what are the basics of starting a candle business?
Focus on five foundations: master the craft and ensure a safe product, define a specific target customer, create a simple product line (start with five to six scents), decide where to sell (website, marketplaces, wholesale), and actively solicit customer feedback to guide product development and expansion.
