When Washington State’s governor implemented their stay-at-home orders, Julie’s corporate consulting and leadership coaching business of twenty years seemingly dried up overnight. Trying to figure out what to do to generate income, Julie began beta testing to see what might happen if she took her home hobby from “hobby” to “money making”… She started the “Bootch Brigade,” the beginning of, what is now, her brick-and-mortar “Komadre Kombucha Taproom” in Tacoma, Washington’s 6th Avenue District. Julie’s coaching and other previous professional experience is helping her grow her business with efficiency. You won’t want to miss what she’s done to move things along in fast fashion and the perspective she shares about starting a business from the ground up!
