Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Female Founders in Their 40s Build the Businesses That Last | Jeni Britton
Q: What are three actionable steps for a woman starting a business today?
Start something and sell it to someone, then listen closely; assemble a small, trusted team around you—three pillars: an outside coach, an advisor, and a competent attorney; adopt the mindset that the word 'company' implies you're not alone and build from there.
Why Female Founders in Their 40s Build the Businesses That Last | Jeni Britton
Q: Did you ever raise capital, and what prompted that step?
Capital came later, around 2016, after building a strong foundation and recognizing that the SBA loan coverage wasn't enough for continued growth, leading to venture/alternative funding for larger-scale expansion.
Scaling a Business Without a Plan: How Urban Remedy Got Into 400 Whole Foods Stores
Q: What advice would you give to a founder just starting out?
Cultivate a strong relationship with yourself to maintain intuition and integrity, hire a great attorney to navigate investment and equity, and pursue work that truly brings joy and aligns with core beliefs rather than chasing trends.
Scaling a Business Without a Plan: How Urban Remedy Got Into 400 Whole Foods Stores
Q: How did you scale while maintaining integrity and mission?
She emphasizes having a strong team aligned with the mission, the founder's ongoing role as guardian of standards, and hiring leadership (CEO) to handle operations while she stays focused on product and education; this balance preserved Urban Remedy's core values at scale.
Scaling a Business Without a Plan: How Urban Remedy Got Into 400 Whole Foods Stores
Q: What is your story and how did Urban Remedy start?
Neka explains she transitioned from a long career as an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner into a food business, driven by a passion for diet, inflammation, and real food; initial recipes and retreats evolved into products that patients asked for, laying the groundwork for Urban Remedy.
