She also underscores the values that make the best leaders, highlights the #SeeHer movement and what it means to her, and discusses why equality never sleeps.

When Carin Luna-Ostaseski discovered the world of scotch, she realized it was full of preconceived notions and decided she wanted to create an inclusive brand that changed peopleâs opinions about it. She built SIA focusing on creating a flavor profile that was unique and destructive, and she hit the ground running with grit, the determination to make an impact, and a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Today, Carin looks back on her journey and shares the biggest lessons sheâs learned over the years, as well as exciting news about the launch of The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund by SIA Scotch, a $250,000 grant program in partnership with Hello Alice to support entrepreneurs of color. Carin shares how she pivoted from being a graphic designer for twenty years to launching her own brand, as well as her experience getting into the scotch industry and the power of networking. She talks about how she created a unique flavor profile that so many love, and she shares everything you need to know about launching a Kickstarter.

âEach no [is] almost like a checkpoint to make you decide: is this important to me? How badly do I want this? Is this gonna stop me, or is this gonna motivate me to keep going?â

- Carin Luna-Ostaseski
