The Real and The Woo with Lauri Stern
Mara Smith Female Founder of Inspiro Tequila
Cheers! Salud! Raise your glass!!! I’m so excited to have Mara Smith on the show today to discuss all things Inspiro Tequila and her journey from work life, home life to becoming a Female Founder. We break it all down from idea to fruition and discuss all the ways we, as bad-ass MOM-CEO’s leverage that experience into what we do as business wonders today.
Mara truly leads from her authentic heart - which aligns with what I know is the wave of the future: heart-based feminine leadership, no matter the gender. Mara’s leadership style is a great example of this new paradigm! And a great reminder it’s never too late to pivot, get creative and grow something new! Give us a listen to find out how and why!
Mara Smith is a mother of three and a former attorney and corporate strategist. She practiced law at a large law firm in Chicago before transitioning to the corporate strategy team at a Fortune 500 Company. She was put on emergency bedrest while pregnant with her twins and when they were born prematurely, she made the difficult decision to leave the corporate world.
Mara never stopped thinking about what was next and always envisioned running her own company. In February of 2020 she set out on her journey to create a new tequila brand.
Mara started drinking tequila when she was looking for a “better-for-you” adult beverage. She discovered though that all of the tequilas she was drinking contained undisclosed additives, so she searched for a brand that was additive-free with a look, taste and messaging that appealed to her and thoughtful female consumers like her. That perfect tequila did not exist, so she decided to create one. The goal was not just to craft impeccable tequilas, but it was also to bring more female perspectives to the spirits industry by having women involved in every aspect of the company. Inspiro Tequila is proudly distilled, owned and led by women.
As a female founder, Mara saw an opportunity to make an impact and to help elevate other women in business, so Inspiro Tequila became a Certified B Corp to formalize their commitment to social impact.
