Season 2, Episode 2: “Women, Wealth and Wow” with Lela Barker [Podcast]

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 of the Indie Business Podcast! In this second episode of our Women, Wealth and Wow! series, I'm sharing an invigorating conversation with a woman I have known for the past decade, and who has become an intricate part of our my life. While our relationship was once all business, over the years, it has slowly and organically — like fine wine — matured into a rich tapestry that overlaps the personal and the professional in a way that is both natural and comfortable.

After the birth of two children and a divorce that left her practically destitute and living in her mother's basement, she happened upon a recipe for sugar scrub that she thought would make the perfect gift for her sister. After whipping up a few batches, a friend offered to take the scrub to a local spa to see if the owner might be interested in buying some to sell to her store customers. That friend emerged a few hours later with a $300 order — and the ensuing events landed our guest in my inbox via a membership application in March 2005. Enjoy it NOW!
