Alum starts small business selling hand-crafted Bloody Mary Mix
Transcript
My name is Katherine Quinn from Cornville, Maine. I am the proprietor of Ass Over Teakettle Bloody Mary Mix.
I was at the Harvest Festival in Bangor at a booth, and Twenty 2 Vodka grabbed our mix and started serving it at their booth. He’s like, “Oh my God, you have to do this program.”
The program has been great because it’s a class, but it’s not a class. The resources you gain, the connections, the mentoring, and that kind of stuff was really cool. Just having people take time out of their day. Kind of a big deal people, to help me for no other reason but to just be there. I think that was the most important part.
This has definitely helped me focus a lot more on setting goals. It’s like, “OK, I can be a bigger company. I can hire people. I can buy my own facility.” It makes you answer sometimes the questions you don’t really want to answer, or you don’t know how to answer. That was very important because you can’t grow or go anywhere without answering those questions.
Ass Over Teakettle. Better than a poke in the eye.
