Welcome back to another episode of Dear Founder. I'm your host, Lindsay Pinchuk, and today's guest

is someone I've watched from afar for a very long time. Shortly after I started my first company,

subscription boxes were all the rage, but there was always one that stood out among the rest,

and that was FabFit Fun. In a few minutes, you'll hear me talk to co-founder Katie Rosen Kitchens,

all about how she

and her team focused on not only building a community around their brand, but how listening

to that community and evolving it to fit their needs has been crucial to the company's evolution

and success. Those of you who have been around here for a while know that I started my first

company and built that first company around the same sentiments and that the same holds true here

at Dear Fountain. When I started, Deer Founder, it was just a podcast, but it has since turned into a

movement to support women over 40 who are building businesses, just like

many of you. After I launched the podcast, many of you asked me to meet in person. So I started hosting

networking events. Then many of you asked how you could work with me. So I launched our group

mentorship, marketing made simple for small business. And then many of you asked me how

to meet and connect with one another. So we launched the Deer Founder Forum, our networking community.

This past year, you asked me to connect more each week. So I moved our newsletter over to

Substack where I land in your inbox at least once a week. And finally, many of you asked to bring some of our most

popular guests on tour. And so we launched your founder on tour with Sunny and Jen last year.

And we're going to be rounding out our fifth event later this year. And almost all of the additions

to each of these ways that we support you

have come from you asking and sharing and telling us how we can do better to make your business

better. So I want to say thank you because the dear founder community is truly the best.
