Episode 6: Patience & Profitability with Caroline Howard, Co-Founder of Walker Brothers

In this episode of Dreaming Big, Alexis sits down with Caroline Howard, Co-Founder of Walker Brothers, a Nashville-based kombucha brand that's redefining what sustainable growth looks like in the beverage industry. Caroline's path to entrepreneurship is anything but typical. She went from technical recruiting in New York to scaling an ad tech company across global markets, earned her MBA at Oxford, and nearly joined Facebook before becoming an investor and eventual Co-Founder of Walker Brothers. What started as writing a seed check and helping friends get their kombucha business off the ground turned into a full-time commitment when Caroline realized she couldn't walk away. From their first batch to scaling into Whole Foods and national distribution, Caroline shares how they've grown profitably by owning their backyard first, the importance of finding investors who align with your vision (not just any capital), and why your career is a jungle gym, not a ladder.
