💛 What happens when two sisters decide to protect everything they love?

Earlier this year, I recorded a powerful conversation with Hayley and Stephanie Painter, the Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Painterland Sisters. After you listen to this episode, you'll see why their story hits so deeply.

In this interview, the sisters talk about what it really means to grow up on a family farm, to watch that way of life disappear around you, and to decide: 

"We’re going to fight for this. Not just for their own farm — but for all family farms, for real food, and for a generation that's craving connection back to the land."

Their journey is equal parts heart, grit, and truth. This episode will make you see your yogurt—and your food system—completely differently.

Listen to find out how two young women from rural Pennsylvania turned a near-loss into a national brand rooted in purpose, place, and perseverance.

Top Podcast Focused on Founders, Brands, & Products

✨ What if the habits you build today become the strength you need for tomorrow’s darkest moments?

In this clip from The Story of a Brand Show, Angelica Fuentes, Founder & CEO of NOWFUL, shares why rituals are far more than “wellness moments.” They’re what anchor us when life knocks us flat.

Angelica opens up about losing everything — her company, her assets, and almost her daughters — in a single 24-hour period. And she explains how the tiny rituals she’d practiced for years — grounding, clarity, sleep, spiritual work, self-belief — became the only things that carried her through that unimaginable chapter. 

Her message is powerful: rituals aren’t optional. They’re how we come back to ourselves. They’re how we rise.
