Ready to inspire all your entrepreneurial dreams? This episode is the PERFECT one to tune into. I was honored to sit down with luxury candle designer and founder of Otherland, Abigail Cook Stone. I discovered her story through Entrepreneur Magazine on my recent flight from Miami to NYC. Her story jumped off the page and immediately captured my heart. I know this enchanting conversation is sure to do the same for you! Abigail shares her inspirational journey to entrepreneurship, navigating the ‘world inbetween worlds’ phases, and staying strong in her passionate convictions that saw the vision through.
Abigail Cook Stone, CEO & Co-Founder of Otherland, set out to build a different kind of candle brand when she launched in 2017, inspired by her passion for art and interiors, a moderately healthy obsession with candles, and her family philosophy of finding small ways to elevate everyday life with an “extra verve.” To create Otherland, Abigail married her backgrounds in art, e-commerce, and venture capital. While attending Columbia Business School, she was an associate at Founder Collective, a seed stage venture fund, and a partner at Dorm Room Fund, First Round Capital’s student-run VC fund. She has an MBA from Columbia and previously worked at Ralph Lauren in Art Acquisitions.
