Pouring Profits: The Financial Journey of a Craft Distillery Founder with Sonja Kassebaum
Episode 86
vendredi 28 mars 2025 • Duration 30:18
Why is it so hard for women to talk about money- especially in industries still dominated by men?
In this episode, we sit down with Sonja, the co-owner and co-founder of North Shore Distillery. She and her husband built their business from the ground up, learning firsthand the unique challenges women face in financial and entrepreneurial spaces.
She shares her journey navigating the finances while building a company with her husband. There are hard truths about being a woman in a space where men still hold most of the power, but like she says, “ You’ll find ways to use it to your advantage when people underestimate you!” From securing funding to advocating for herself in high-stakes conversations, Sonja shares insights that every woman entrepreneur needs to hear, regardless of their industry.
Sonja learned to stand her ground. Why do we feel the need to over-prepare, over-deliver, and prove ourselves in ways men often don’t have to? Sonja’s advice to women looking to break barriers in finance and entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspirational. This conversation is for any woman who’s ever felt like she had to fight a little harder to be taken seriously- especially when it comes to money.

How to Build Your 2025 Financial Future with Cary Carbonaro
vendredi 10 janvier 2025 • Duration 31:28
Ready to make 2025 your year of financial freedom?
Let’s face it: when it comes to money, fear and uncertainty hold many of us back from truly thriving. But what if this could be the year you take control and become financially fearless? This episode is packed with strategies, tips, and inspiration from our incredible guest, Cary, who’s here to guide you every step of the way.
Cary Carbonaro, a certified financial planner with over 25 years of experience in guiding women to financial independence, helping them gain control over their financial futures in an industry where women are often underrepresented. She emphasized the importance of having a financial plan, according to her, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” She encourages women to set clear financial goals and stick to them, sharing financial goals publicly, holding individuals accountable and brings those goals to fruition.
Her approach to financial planning starts with two fundamental steps: budgeting and knowing one's net worth. Cary advises her clients to track their monthly income and expenses, ensuring there is money left over to build wealth. She emphasizes that small sacrifices, such as cutting out a daily coffee, are not enough; instead, big-picture decisions—like adjusting housing costs or finding additional income sources—are essential.
If you're ready to take action and build a solid financial plan, check out the resources and links we mentioned in the episode. Cary’s advice is simple, clear, and packed with actionable steps that anyone can use to improve your financial situation.
