Hannah Hong & Mollie Cha – From Best Friends to Business Partners as Co-Founders of Hakuna Brand (N)icecream

January 22, 2020 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Light-hearted and full of joy, Hannah Hong and Mollie Cha, co-founders of Hakuna Brands, are the perfect pair to launch a dairy-free (N)ice-cream.

Hannah and Mollie became best friends at UC Berkeley, and along the way, discovered they were both lactose intolerant in their early 20’s – which meant that they had to say goodbye to ice cream.

Years later, Hannah and Mollie discovered frozen banana chunks blended with a little almond milk. In that moment it was, and I quote, “Like lightning striking.” It was non-dairy, 100% plant-based, no refined sugar, and delicious! They instantly knew they had to bring this idea to families everywhere.

On today’s show, Hannah and Mollie talk about how they’ve gotten their product into over 400 retail locations, what it is like to be best friends and business partners, the lessons they’ve learned about dealing with imposter syndrome and much more.

Having a partner is a great thing, but it comes with its challenges. So really make sure it is the right fit.” – Mollie Cha

Show Notes:

How they took a problem, solved it for themselves and Hakuna Brands was born
What they did every evening after work – the EARLY days!
Their best advice for maintaining a business partnership with your BFF
Their FIRST Sale – they take us on the journey with them (I loved this part)
Their BEST Sales Strategy early on – what they did to really STAND OUT
The Best ACTION STEP to getting into over 400 locations
How they quickly learned to scale when Whole Foods and Sprouts came calling – before that they were operating out of a 100 square foot kitchen
Why “moving fast & breaking things” really doesn’t work for them
The effects of imposter syndrome & how they moved through the days when they had doubts

You are the expert in your product.” – Hannah Hong

January 14, 2020 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Drum roll please! We’re celebrating our 100th Episode of ‘She’s Got Moxie!’ And…I’ve got the perfect guest to share with you! Alli Webb!

It all started with her curly hair and a huge hole in the marketplace. This woman is a DISRUPTER.

After spending 15 years as a professional hairstylist, Alli left the professional hair industry in 2005 to start a family, but decided to find a way to continue pursuing the creative side of hairstyling at a new-mom pace. She began offering affordable in-home blowout services to her mommy friends and the demand was so great, she realized it was time to park her car and build what’s become a blockbuster success – The Drybar.

***On opening day (during a recession no less) there was a line out the door. She knew she was on to something.

Nearly a decade later and over 150 locations across the U.S., Alli Webb’s genius Drybar concept has exploded into a nationally recognized and highly sought-after brand.

Alli has been named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” by Fast Company, featured on Fortune magazine’s “40 Under 40” list, Marie Claire’s “Most Fascinating Women” and recently Inc. magazine recognized her as one of “The 100 Women Building America’s Most Innovative and Ambitious Businesses.” She’s also been featured on Shark Tank and hosts her own podcast with her brother & business partner Michael, “Raising the Bar.”

Why there’s no such thing as certainty – stop looking for it
