Acquired for $380 million with Founder of The Honey Pot, Beatrice Dixon

Beatrice Dixon, founder and CEO of The Honey Pot Company, joins us today to talk all about building a $380 million wellness empire that started with a dream visit from her grandmother. She opens up about her year-long struggle with bacterial vaginosis, the ancestral wisdom that led to her first product formulation, and how she scaled from making a vulva wash in her kitchen to securing major retail partnerships with Target and Walmart.

She also gets real about the business side of success, breaking down venture capital versus private equity funding, and the realities of being a Black female founder. Plus, she dismantles the romanticized version of entrepreneurship we see on social media, shares why focus beats having five different businesses, and talks about the importance of caring for your body while building wealth.

Welcome to It Takes A Village with Delina Medhin, where inspiring founders & creatives share ‘who I built this with’. Have you ever asked yourself…“how can I be happier, healthier, peaceful, famous, powerful, or successful?” When you want change, your life will shift, you let go, and begin to trust other people. This new energy will attract new people & create momentum in your life that reveals your purpose. Awareness is life’s balancing tool, and you are in the right place at the right time, always.
