30: Thoughtful and Powerful Decision-Making with Natalie Wong

"Low waste, small batch, big heart."

When I was first connected with Natalie Wong of Pep Soap and heard this was her tagline, I knew I *HAD* to have her on the podcast.

In this episode, we discussed:

• Natalie’s journey to soapmaking

• Her tagline:  "low waste, small batch, big heart" 

• How she communicates her values in her marketing

• How she approaches making products that reduce harm to the environment

• Natalie offered tips for up and coming product-based business owners, and even shares some of her specific vendors

• Much  more
  

We talked about ripple effects, keeping an open heart, listening in your marketing, and more. This episode really illustrates how small businesses have such a powerful opportunity to make an impact in pretty much every decision we make.
