Hot news! 🔥 Stoked to announce our special guests & sponsors for the Founders Fire 🔥 coming up on May 31st at Moonlight Beach: Fireside chat with Garret Akerson, warm up by @HopeRoseSpeaks, & delicious kombucha and yerba mate sponsored by Babe Beverages. Learn more about Garret, Hope Rose, and Babe below…
🔥 Garret Akerson and his wife co-founded Kindred Bravely, a leading maternity and breastfeeding apparel brand. They successfully bootstrapped the company and grew it to $60M in annual revenue before selling a majority stake to private equity. They co-created a Vivid Vision for Kindred Bravely and manifested it into reality through the power of purpose, alignment, and exceptional teamwork. Garret is passionate about applying the learnings of his entrepreneurial journey and membership in world-class organizations such as Vistage and YPO to support other founders to grow and scale. He resides in Encinitas, California with his wife and two boys, spending his free time hiking, cycling, and training for marathons. Garret lives and works boldly and intentionally.
🔥 Hope Rose @HopeRoseSpeaks is a former sponsored ultra-endurance athlete, a self-published health + wellness author, and a voice featured on platforms such as NBC Nightly News and the Today Show, she blends grit, integrity, and vision in everything she builds. The vision of Hope Rose is to bring support, guidance, and real tools to every soul. Now, that vision is crystallizing through HEALthy, a new kind of human technology designed to rewire habits, reconnect people to their own inner wisdom, and bring mind–body–spirit transformation into everyday life.
🔥 Babe Beverages founded in sunny San Diego, is driven by a passion for health, wellness, and positive vibes. In 2017, Babe started with a small tasting room to serve the community and introduce a delicious, more approachable kombucha. The tasting room acted as their R&D lab, where they perfected their brews, starting small and experimenting with flavors until they found their winning combinations. Now, expanding beyond kombucha, they’re venturing into yerba mate, remaining loyal to their mission of offering healthier options with a kick. Babe Beverages is the culmination of a passion project that evolved into a business as family and friends united over a shared commitment to healthy living. Kind thanks to Babe Beverages for sponsoring Founders Fire!
Feel free to get in touch if you are interested to support in any way.
Kindly,
Luke
