#38 Founder Stories | From Grief to Glory: Brian Schultz's Journey with The Freshwater Sea Pearl Company

In this episode of The Rectified Podcast, Sandy is having a conversation with Brian Schultz Founder of The Freshwater Pearl Company. Brian, a former corporate professional with 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, shares how the loss of his mother to breast cancer in 2020 inspired him to leave the corporate world and start the Freshwater Pearl Company. He now creates unique freshwater pearl jewelry and donates 2 percent of gross sales to cancer research and non-profit organizations supporting women and families in need, all while collaborating with influencers and celebrities who share his passion for making a positive impact. Brian's journey from corporate success to entrepreneurship is driven by a deeply personal mission and a commitment to giving back, making his jewelry brand not only unique but also a heartfelt tribute to his mother's legacy. The Freshwater Pearl Company’s Website: https://thefreshwaterpearlcompany.com/ The Freshwater Pearl Company’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefreshwaterpearlcompany/ Brian’s favorite book: https://amzn.to/3rhoU4P Find me here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandydedeian/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sandydedeian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandydedeian/ Join the D2C Founders Mastermind to scale your direct-to-consumer brand: https://www.rectified.co/dtc-founders-mastermind/   This is a public episode.
