Today we’d like to introduce you to Shelby Stratton.
Hi Shelby, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
For nearly a decade, I have consumed a plant-based diet and supplemented my nutrition with a cold-pressed juice. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, I began delivering juices to my family and friends and found that people not only desperately needed them but loved them! Soon I had regular customers wanting juices delivered to their homes. Eventually, we connected with some great people in the community and now serve juices and bites at weekly vegan pop-ups throughout the Central Florida area.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Like many businesses, the Covid-19 pandemic made things challenging at times, but we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to provide our neighbors with products that helped boost peoples immune systems and protect their wellness, especially during a period in time where people need to prioritize their health more than ever. The challenges we faced starting our business felt minuscule compared to what we as a people faced over the course of the last year.
As you know, we’re big fans of DRIP Juice Therapy. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Drip Juice Therapy started as a delivery service and has now blossomed into a plant-based pop-up. We specialize in cold-pressed juice, wellness shots, amazing avocado toast, and some new secret items we will be debuting soon. We also offer more juice, less stress with our monthly subscription juice bundles. We are also stoked that we are able to provide our customers with delicious cold-pressed juice cocktails at Cavos in Thorton park for those that enjoy the detox/retox lifestyle. Smarter drinking, we would say! We plan on expanding our current menu to offer more food and specialty juices!
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
We find that it is helpful to work in similar industries to meet like-minded individuals. When I found my passion for juicing, I wanted to learn everything about it and how I can use its benefits to serve others. Working in juice bars and nutrition-focused jobs have helped me connect with health gurus and hone in on my juicing and nutritional knowledge. Networking with individuals with such as this allowed me to discover several documentaries, including “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” and “Cowspiracy,” that have helped shaped the course of my career.
