Is it possible to build a profitable expertise business that is 100% values-aligned and mission driven?
Lucy Flores—who has built a design studio dedicated to co-creating a more just, joyful and sustainable U.S. food system—says yes, with the results to prove it:
Why she niched her business into food equity right from the beginning—and how it played out.
How she thinks about and builds alliances, coalitions and partnerships (hint: she doesn’t have competitors).
Her approach—as an introvert—to investing in relationships and meeting new people in her field.
Why niching alone wasn’t enough—and what changed when she started marketing regularly.
Adopting a mindset of cautious optimism and deciding when it’s “safe to fail”.
