Episode Synopsis

In this insightful episode, host Scott Stirrett chats with Patrice Mousseau, the visionary Founder and CEO of Satya Organic and a member of Fort William First Nation. A former broadcast journalist, Patrice turned her investigative skills towards finding a steroid-free solution for her daughter's eczema. This quest led her to traditional medicine, rigorous medical research, and eventually to crafting a botanically-based balm using a $15 crockpot she bought off Facebook. Patrice shares the remarkable journey of creating a sustainable skincare solution that doesn’t buy into the allure of becoming a "unicorn" business. Patrice opts for meaningful impact over explosive growth, and nurtures a business that is deeply aligned with personal values and community well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how a commitment to sustainability and community can coexist with ambitious business goals.
