The A Braver Brand maternity leave series continues with Episode Four and my conversation with Melanie Villeneuve, co-owner of The Northern Table, a Canadian-based brand that aims to create delicious herbal blends - both tea and salt blends - that are aligned with the seasons, transparently sourced, and deeply connected to the land. In this episode, Mel and I talk all about the birth of The Northern Table, what it’s like to be in the infancy stages of a new brand and business, what it looks like to make hard choices while staying within your values, and why they’re not in the “tea and salt market” but aiming for something so much greater.

Episode 72: Melanie Villeneuve on Transparency, Hard Choices, & Why It’s All About The Invitation

Melanie Villeneuve is the Nomadic Wife and she is leading a movement to inspire and resource people  to eat plant based meals.  Melanie is less than a year into her startup and is already creating amazing content and more importantly, she's enabling people to live a more healthy life.  She does all of this while creating her own recipes and photography that is truly breath-taking. In this interview Melanie clearly lays out the steps she took to transition from her previous career as a wedding photographer to her new role as the Nomadic Wife.  There are four key steps to her process: 1. Start with an interest.  She wanted to change her own life by replacing unhealthy foods with more plants.  At the same time she started picking up a few food photography jobs.  When these two interests came together from different parts of her life she paid attention and noticed the trend. 2. She launched a site.  "Your no one without a website."  The website provides a home base to create content for various social media channels.  This site also serves a significant role required for any movement, a place to build community. 3.Chose creating over marketing.  Within six months she had created around 250 recipes.  This focus on content over sales allows for her message and ideas to saturate her work in more significant ways without the immediate pressure of making sales.  Often times we decide to launch a business or project and start with marketing, Melanie chose to focus on creating first.  Not only does it allow for a deeper saturation of message but it also allows her to go into "auto" mode on content creation when it's time to launch. 4.Make it a goal to be rejected.  It doesn't matter how great the product or message is if no one knows about it.  Instead of playing it safe Melanie continually seeks out rejection.  Each week she submits content to 5-6 places.  Her rejection rate of 50% is worth the fact that the other 50% pick up her content.   This mass approach plus the sheet volume of content is positioning the Nomadic Wife at the epicenter of an evolving movement.
