The Splash-Making Story Behind Be a Mermaid
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Mermaid Tales! In this special debut episode, Mermaid Cassandra sits in the hot seat as her marketing partner Kristen interviews her about her journey into the mermaid community, the founding of Be a Mermaid, and her vision for bringing the joy of mermaiding to people worldwide.
From Corporate World to Mermaid Dreams
Cassandra brings a unique blend of corporate expertise and mermaid passion to her entrepreneurial venture. With 15 years in technology working at major companies including Adobe and a recent transition into cybersecurity, her journey represents a powerful story of self-discovery and reconnecting with childhood passions. Her modern mermaid journey started through Instagram, where she discovered that people could actually swim in mermaid tails outside of movies. This revelation led to purchasing her first Fin Folk tail as her 30th birthday gift, launching a transformative chapter in her life.
The Birth of Be a Mermaid Business
The Be a Mermaid business concept emerged during one of Cassandra's self-described "brain blaster" nights when her unmedicated ADHD kept her awake until 4 AM in a Brooklyn hotel. What started as a desire to create certifying retreats evolved into a comprehensive vision for a subscription-based platform with marketplace functionality. Her goal is helping professional mermaids and artists scale their efforts, applying her Fortune 100 client experience in strategy and growth to the mermaid community.
Building Community Through Safety and Inclusivity
Currently, Be a Mermaid offers retreats designed as small group, high-end experiences that combine vacation elements with mermaid certification, emphasizing safety above all else through proper PADI or SSI certification. The upcoming Professional Mermaid Database and All Access Subscription Pass will provide educational content for all skill levels, accessible regardless of location or water access. The mission centers on community inclusivity and fostering global connections while supporting artists and small businesses within the mermaid space.
Looking Ahead
This inaugural episode sets the stage for future conversations with mermaids, merfolk, and mermen from around the world, exploring their journeys, passions, and messages for the community. Mermaid Tales will be available across Instagram Live, YouTube, and podcast platforms to reach audiences wherever they prefer to consume content.
