Yes, our podcast is mainly focused around highlighting women led brands and the incredible life journey and stories of the human behind the brand. Every so often we break the rules to feature brands and stories making extraordinary impact in the lives of others. With our recent focus on mentorship and the value of each person's story, no matter the life stage or age, we are honored to share the story of Cathedral and Spir Candle Co co-founded by Nate and Amy Stone.
Cathedral is a local, charm-filled, historical venue that hosts events of all kinds-weddings to photoshoots. It also donates 100% of its profit to charities. (as of 05/2023 $81,765) Spír Candle Co. is a hand-crafted candle company selling locally and nationally. It also employs underrepresented youth transitioning out of the juvenile justice system. These brands help people.
I spoke to Nate (co-founder) and Shane (Cathedral's Operations Manager) about the organic mentorship program that exists from the employment opportunity. Shane is a former inmate being (with the assistance of a transition house) empowered, equipped and employed by Cathedral and Spír. The connection and opportunity is a win for both, as you'll hear from their story. Not only is there tangible benefit through skill and work, but also relationship building and mentorship. Both are shaping, leading, and teaching each other in varying ways.
Listen in as the episode dives deeper into how Cathedral and Spír got started, where they are today, and what the goals and aspirations are in the future.
Mostly, hear how even the smallest act of kindness and help can produce big impact for many. No matter if you make the candle, buy the candle, host the event or benefit from its donation outpouring. These candles help people. Truly.
