Ladies and Gentleman - Guess What? This amazing episode is the last Opportunity Knocks of 2021 (sad but true - time to take a break sisters), and it's fit for a rockstar 🌟...which is certainly what our guest is (although she didn't bring her guitar, she did bring her strong voice 🙂). In this episode, I sat down with Ashley Lewis, the Co-Founder and CEO of Fleur Marché (dubbed the Sephora of CBD 😍). Honestly, I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed learning about her, but Ashely's resume speaks for itself -
🤩 She launched the wellness business vertical at Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop @goop (this is when she first became obsessed with CBD)
🤩 She launched @classpass's Los Angeles business working on partnerships Nike, Reebok, Sweetgreen, Outdoor Voices, and more
🤩 She was a brand manager on the Barbie Global Brand Team @mattel (let's face it most Ex-Mattel people are rocks stars we may have been there together🌟)
🤩 Oh and she has an MBA from Stanford and a BA from Penn
Clearly, this is an episode you don't want to miss! Ashley and I crossed over so many categories of her journey (including the real-life of motherhood and working from home as an entrepreneur) I truly did not want this interview to end. Listen in to find out more about -
✨ Her path from corporate executive to startup builder
✨ Why she wanted to reframe the narrative around cannabis and CBD
✨ How she and her partner built a cannabis-focused company that overcame stigmas and focused on women in ways most other companies weren't
✨ The benefits of CBD and why she's such a proponent
✨ Why simplicity sells and how to talk to a target audience
✨ How to succeed in a partnership with your close friend
✨ And so much more!
Simply put, Ashley is the epitome of the female entrepreneur we champion on Opportunity Knocks and EmpowHer Purpose. 🌟 Her story is incredible. 🌟 You're going to learn a lot from this chat and feel so inspired.😍😍😍🙌🙌🙌
This will be our last NEW podcast for the year but wow, was it the perfect ending to an incredible year. Every interview I leave feeling more educated and elevated than the last! So many amazing women in store for 2022 you will not want to miss out! Thank you Ashley for all that you're doing in the cannabis space and for women around the world. 🌎
