Episode 02 – LaVonne Ellis of Tealing & Co.
In this episode, LaVonne Ellis shares the story of her founding of Tealing & Co., and the budding empire that tea is making.

LaVonne shares the challenges of getting people (normally coffee addicts) to try tea, especially those of Tealing & Co., and the magical joys of three key components to success, however you may define it: doing something you love, being able to make a living doing what you enjoy, and having a market for what you’re passionate about.
