The heatwave in LA is nothing new, but the humidity is. This is CA or Chicago? Anyways, Project Manager @buffysgoldendays says this is a mandatory break to enjoy some ice cold @drinkjoni. Non-alcoholic, because no beers where there are bandsaws.#drinkjoni

Being part of the Million Dollar Women and Million Dollar Women Fund community has taught me how to build and run a business the million-dollar way! What a fabulous panel! Founded and hosted by @juliapimsleur @mdwfund @milliondlrwomen Another inspiring event featuring proven women entrepreneur panelists—from Valley Bank leaders to a CPG beverage founder, sharing their journeys, wins, and lessons. These conversations remind us why communities like Million Dollar Women, founded by Julia Pimsleur, matter. Only 2% of women-owned businesses reach $1M in revenue—but together, we’re changing that. Million Dollar Women brings ambitious entrepreneurs into cohorts with a proven track record of helping founders scale through: ✅ Semi-private expert coaching ✅ The Sales CURE® Method for growth ✅ A powerful peer network of women who get it With 800+ graduates generating $30M in collective revenue—this is where women learn, lead, and win together. Excited to see so many business women in the room making moves and building the future. 👉 millionwomen.com #MillionDollarWomen #WomenEntrepreneurs #WomenInBusiness #ScaleUp #CloseTheGap #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #GoBig

Want to try a sustainable spirit-free wine alternative with roots dating back to the Middle Ages? Be sure to join us tomorrow in Tribeca for an evening filled with joyful ways to eat sustainably and learn from wonderful women working in the space! Meet Claire! @clairematern is the Founder of @drinkjoni the brilliant brand changing perceptions of verjus and what non-alcoholic drinks can be. Claire grew up in the NYC food industry and was introduced to verjus while helping out in her parents' cheese shop. Learning it's history and uses, she knew it deserved time in the spotlight. Verjus (green juice in French) is the juice of wine grapes culled before the harvest to allow the remaining fruit to reach it's full potential. While often used in cooking, verjus has a history of being used as a naturally non-alcoholic drink dating back to the Middle Ages. Claire exudes passion for food, wine and all the ways they bring joy and meaning to life! I feel so lucky to know her through her gorgeous verjus (with a great name 😉)! Come learn from Claire about sustainable drinking and running a non-alcoholic wine brand! #sustainabledrinking #foodsustainability #nycfoodies #sobercurious #sobernyc
