Ep 22: Worry Less, Giggle More With Brittany Pomplun

French Kissing Life

Ever wondered how a hilarious idea could evolve into a booming business? Today’s conversation is spicy—both because of the subject and because my guest, Brittany Pomplin, blew me away with her business intuition and self-belief. Brittany, a wife and mom, saw the potential in penis waffles and created Giggle Sticks, turning a "silly" idea into a wildly successful business. In this episode, we discuss the birth of Giggle Sticks, the criticism she's faced, her incredible growth, and why this is the most fulfilling job she's ever had.
Brittany is a wife and mother to two young boys. She is an avid traveler, loves to craft and scrapbook, enjoys hosting a good party, runs with her husband, and spends time with her kids. Her aha moment came when she saw penis waffles becoming popular in Spain and found herself surrounded by bachelorettes in Scottsdale. After years of travel and hosting parties, bachelorette events, and girls' brunches, her two realities collided, and the idea of Giggle Sticks AZ was born!
Topics covered:

• Brittany's initial brainstorming and research process for starting her business.
• Research and development, including experimenting with recipes and branding.
• Importance of creating memorable experiences for customers.
• Utilizing the Batch app for marketing and business growth.
• Handling criticism and skepticism about her business idea.
• Importance of pursuing and realizing one's passions.
