Macie Mincey is the co-founder of Mom Juice Wine, a bold and playful wine brand made by moms, for moms—and everyone who needs a glass at the end of a chaotic day. With placements in Target, Delta Airlines, and more, Macie’s no-BS approach to branding breaks all the "rules" in the best way possible.

In this episode, Macie Mincey—co-founder of Mom Juice Wine—opens up about how she helped turn a cheeky brand concept into a full-blown retail success, landing on the shelves of Target and even in Delta Airlines. She shares how staying unapologetically bold, tapping into real-life mom moments, and refusing to water down their identity helped Mom Juice stand out in a saturated wine market. We talk about the importance of branding that makes people feel something, how to balance edgy visuals with commercial appeal, and why being “too polished too early” can backfire. Macie also dives into the realities of launching a product-based business as a mom and creative, how to find investors for your big idea, the pros and cons of white labeling vs. making your own product PLUS how and when to prepare to sell your company to investors.

This episode is PACKED with legitimate business strategies from a genuine success story who knows how to build a brand!

Episode Summary

In this unapologetically bold episode of Visionary Blueprint, Nichole and Chelsea share their unfiltered, unpopular opinions on entrepreneurship—the kinds of “hot takes” that challenge conventional business wisdom. From calling out hustle culture to breaking down the real truth about AI and ChatGPT, they explore how to build a business your way, even when it breaks the rules.

You'll hear honest discussions about:

• Why AI won’t replace you (but entrepreneurs who don’t adapt might get left behind)
• The danger of chasing trends over long-term strategy
• Letting go of “what everyone else is doing” to lead with your own vision
• Instagram follower count doesnt always equal success

Key Takeaways:

• Business success doesn’t have to follow a formula
• Not every tool (like ChatGPT) is a threat—it's about how you use it
• The best marketing strategy might be to stop following the crowd
• Real success comes from alignment, not algorithms
