  • How Caroline Weaver Is Supporting Small Businesses In New York City With The Locavore

    How Caroline Weaver Is Supporting Small Businesses In New York City With The Locavore
    2026/08/04
    Small businesses don't just support local economies, they create the communities we want to live in. For entrepreneur Caroline Weaver, that belief became the foundation of an unexpected journey. After building one of the world's only pencil stores, closing that chapter of her career, and walking every neighborhood in New York City to document more than 14,000 independent businesses, she came to a simple realization: thriving local businesses create thriving communities. In this episode of Becoming Self Made, Mike Michalowicz sits down with Caroline, founder of The Locavore Guide and The Locavore Variety Store, to explore why supporting small businesses is about far more than where we shop. It's about strengthening local economies, preserving neighborhood character, and creating communities where entrepreneurs (and the people around them) can succeed together. Caroline shares how a fascination with everyday objects evolved into a mission to champion independent retailers, why she believes every purchase is an investment in your community, and what entrepreneurs can learn from the thousands of small business owners she has met along the way.

  • How David Stark Turned a Small Flower Business Into One of the Most Innovative Design Firms in America

    How David Stark Turned a Small Flower Business Into One of the Most Innovative Design Firms in America
    2026/07/28
    When David Stark graduated from art school, he wasn't following a blueprint for entrepreneurship. He was arranging flowers in his apartment, taking on small creative projects, and searching for a way to turn his artistic vision into a career. What followed was something he never could have predicted: the creation of one of the world's leading experiential design firms, and the pioneering of ideas like the modern pop-up shop that would reshape how brands connect with people. In this episode of Becoming Self Made, Mike Michalowicz sits down with David Stark, founder and Chief Creative Officer of David Stark Design, to explore how an artist became an entrepreneur by building an entirely new category of business. David shares how he transformed creativity into a competitive advantage, why innovation often comes from saying "yes" before you know exactly how you'll get there, and what it takes to build a company around imagination. Together, they discuss entrepreneurship, creative leadership, brand storytelling, and the challenge of scaling a business whose product is ideas. David also reflects on trusting his instincts, embracing unconventional opportunities, and why some of the best businesses are created by people who don't realize they're inventing something new.

  • Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer Purcell: How the Beekman 1802 Founders Went From Self-Funded Soap Shop to a $300M Brand

    Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer Purcell: How the Beekman 1802 Founders Went From Self-Funded Soap Shop to a $300M Brand
    2026/07/21
    The greatest competitive advantage in business isn't always your product. Sometimes, it's the community that believes in it. When Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell first arrived in Sharon Springs, New York, they weren't looking to build a skincare brand like Beekman 1802. They simply fell in love with a historic farm and the quiet charm of a small community they hoped would become their weekend escape. But when the 2008 recession upended their plans, their neighbors helped them discover an entirely new future. In this episode of Becoming Self Made, Mike Michalowicz sits down with the founders of Beekman 1802 to explore how kindness, collaboration, and a shared commitment to their community became the foundation for one of the most beloved lifestyle brands in America. Brent and Josh share how Sharon Springs shaped their entrepreneurial journey, why they chose to invest in the people around them, and how that same spirit helped transform not only their company, but an entire town. Together, they discuss what it means to build a business that creates opportunity beyond its own walls, why supporting fellow entrepreneurs can strengthen an entire local economy, and how growing "neighbor by neighbor" became more than a philosophy, it became a blueprint for sustainable success.
