Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Samantha Coffin, Owner of Matcha Nude, located in Asheville, NC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Matcha Nude is a sustainable matcha company doing things differently. Matcha Nude exists because finding organic, pure matcha that tastes good, is affordable + good for the planet is actually pretty hard to come by.
Matcha Nude offers affordable premium grade organic, non-GMO Japanese matcha in 100% compostable packaging. Our matcha is naturally soft and sweet in flavor and doesn't need additional sweeteners. We are on a mission to show the world the power of this incredible tea + the lifestyle that comes with it.
Tell us about yourself
I am a wellness coach and matcha slinger! I help people elevate their lives through intentional action. After spending most of my early years sick and simply surviving, I finally began thriving! My mission is to help others get there way faster, and Matcha Nude is one of the paths I offer!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Uplifting and collaborating with other conscious small businesses! Honestly, they have taught me so much and added such value to my life, and I love being able to use my platform to show the world the amazingness that they are offering!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Accept that you don't know what you don't know until you don't know it and that everything cannot always get done. It is easy to work way too much as a business owner because your heart and soul are in your work, yet rest and accepting help are the hardest yet most important things to learn.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- If you know your why and it lights you up, you can and will figure it out. I had a lot of doubts. I didn't have the money to start, and I was scared. So, I sought out others that could lead me to the resources I needed.
- Keep your why right in front of your face so it can reignite your fire when something tries to blow it out.
- You can only fail if you quit; otherwise, it is a lesson learned! Practice makes progress. Perfection is a myth.
