Greatest Hits: Kinfield’s Founder Nichole Powell on Leadership, validating your product in 3 steps & creating with integrity

Season 1, Ep. 208

Joining me on the show today is CEO and Founder of Kinfield, Nichole Powell. 

Launched in 2019, Kinfield makes Great Essentials for the Great Outdoors—effective, plant-powered skincare and body products made from ingredients that are safe for both people and planet. They believe in a happier, healthier tomorrow through more time in the great outdoors, and are creating products you actually need to make the most of your time in nature, whether you're in the backcountry or your own backyard.

We’re talking about what makes a sustainable company and how they tackle things like packaging when trying to do better for the planet, Nichole’s 3-step process to validating the idea and her lessons learned along the way being a venture backed, female entrepreneur.
