In this episode of Community we are highlighting Acre75 Gathered, an incredible small town Canadian goods subscription box, shipping hundreds of beautiful, curated boxes across North America.

With Founder Virginia, Kristina dives into what it took to build the Acre75 Gathered brand and navigate business and motherhood, hiring, slow growth, mastering systems and more!

Key takeaways to listen for:

Why your first version of a business doesn’t need to be your last.
How Virginia used mentorship to learn how to run a subscription business.
Navigating the grief, uncertainty, and growth all while building a thriving business community.
The magic of documenting your process instead of faking success.
Why slower, intentional scaling can be so much more sustainable.
The behind-the-scenes of hiring a first team member and how it can transform your business.

Grow your business like a tree, not a seasonal flower. Virginia’s message is to plant the seed and focus on growing deep roots in community while trusting the process in order to see the full bloom.

Whether you're a product-based business owner or a busy founder figuring out your next step, this episode is going to fill your cup.
