"The bubbly state of mind." For many of us, it probably sounds like a pretty nice place to be. Tawnya Falkner, the proprietor and managing member of the French sparkling wine company Le Grand Courtâge gives customers permission to embrace the spirit of joie de vivre and celebrate the art of elevating the everyday---often in ways you never considered before. And it all started with an idea, a vision, made real by a seasoned entrepreneur with a business plan who found a need in a market place, and had the determination to not let anything get in her way. Tawnya joins Socialfly Co-Founder Stephanie Cartin in the MouthMedia Network studio for a conversation about building her business and career, and describes her journey to success. She discusses how a big problem with a label was able to be addressed by going into a quick problem-solving mode; the power of networking with other female entrepreneurs and a mastermind group; the true value of a business coach; the challenge of raising money and lessons learned with raising a large funding round up front; and getting a big deal with a major airline that was worth popping a cork for. Plus, a surprise!
