Lana Powers

When I sold Powers PR, I genuinely thought I was done building businesses.

After years of running an agency, I wanted to know what it felt like to slow down. To sit still without feeling guilty. To not always be thinking about what needed to get done next.

@jessicaxgomberg on the other hand, was ready for her second act. She kept saying she didn’t think I was actually done building things. I wasn’t convinced.

Turns out she was right.

What we ended up creating feels so fitting for this stage of life. A business that serves families and local communities, lets our own families be part of the journey, and somehow combines everything I love most: building a brand, creating experiences, and bringing people together.

I never imagined I’d find something that blended those worlds so naturally, but I’m really grateful I did.

So… here’s Candy Riot. 🍬⚡️
