What’s FounderMade Consumer Discovery Show

October 15, 2018 By lizinlosangeles Leave a Comment Filed Under: Los Angeles

Consumer Discovery Show Attended by Liz in Los Angeles

Last week, I was invited by Innovative PR to attend the FounderMade Consumer Discovery Show in Santa Monica. FounderMade is a platform dedicated to helping new brands build their business by introducing them to investors, buyers, press, and influencers.

What’s FounderMade Consumer Discovery Show

FounderMade helps curate and scale the best-in-class consumer businesses by providing them with direct access to highly sought out retailers, distributors, investors, corporate partners, press, and influencers. With exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles, FounderMade helps people discover new brands that will improve their lives and the stories behind them.

Consumer Discovery Show (CDS)

Three things come to mind when I think of the CDS summit in LA:

  1. CBD Oil,
  2. Natural, and
  3. Cruelty-Free.

Everyone wanted to know more about CBD oil products. All the new products had these two things in common: natural and cruelty-free.

Why Attend: Discover New and Innovative Brands

Consumer Discovery Show is an opportunity to connect with brands offline. Influencers can discover new products to share with their audience but also network with emerging brands. It’s a first-hand opportunity to educate yourself on new brands and products. I got to learn more about CBD Oil, collagen products and the importance of aluminum-free deodorant.

What to Expect at FounderMade Consumer Discovery Show

Tons of exhibits (see more below). Also, there were six-panel discussions and keynote speakers taking place throughout the day. This year’s LA panelists included the following founders, executives, and influencers: Christopher Gavigan (Co-Founder, CPO of The Honest Company), Lo Bosworth (Founder of Love Wellness Co.), Hayden Slater (Founder, CEO of Pressed Juicery), Rosie O’Neill (Co-Founder, CCO of Sugarfina), and Jason Widener (VP of New Store Development at Erewhon). The hottest topic: The Future of Cannabis.

There was a food truck with yummy and healthy food. Not to mention, all the fantastic food/beverage brands that keep the attendees feed and hydrated throughout the day like complimentary fresh coconuts by Kopari Beauty (promoting their new aluminum-free deodorant), artisanal ice cream inspired by travels by Wanderlust Creamery (I’m still daydreaming of the Sakura ice cream bar), selfie cookies from Selffee, and tea with foraged herbs from Fruitstitute. There was tons of fun activity that the attendees could participate in like a mini manicure from GlamSquad, detoxing armpit facial by Kopari Beauty, Cryo facials from CryoZone, and B12 shots from The Hydration Room.

The Exhibits: Some of the fun new products at the summit

  • Stacked Skincare – professional-grade at-home treatments including micro-roller and derma tools.

CBD Oil / Wellness 

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound found in cannabis (legally found in hemp below .3%THC) that has significant medical benefits, but does not have the psychoactive effects, and can actually counteract the effects of THC.

You might want to 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘 this if you’r You might want to 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘 this if you’re an emotional eater. On Instastories, you shared your tips on how to avoid emotional eating and I have your tips listed here: ⁣
🎶 Distractions like music or TV⁣
🚶‍♀️Restorative workouts like walking or yoga⁣
🧘‍♀️ Relaxation activities like meditation, soundbath or breathwork ⁣

I was surprised to see how many of you in my community are also emotional eaters. I think the biggest struggle of emotional eating imho is that you don’t even notice how much you’re eating. I once binge ate a box of salami without even realizing cuz I thought I had failed an exam. ⁣
⁣
The best tip I can give you is instead of focusing on emotional eating, focus on the emotions and know they’re temporary. That’s what I remind myself. ⁣

We collectively have difficult memories of this pa We collectively have difficult memories of this past year. But we can still leave 2020 with a sweet note by concentrating on all the good things (no matter how small) happened this year! 🥳⁣
⁣
I know I stressed out a lot by worrying  about the health of my family and friends. I felt truly isolated because of social distancing. But, I also miraculously found a job after being unemployed for what felt like a decade + my mom TG is (slowly) recovering from two minor surgeries (which could have been worse if not diagnosed right away)! I also had the support of my IG community when I felt lonely or bored (so thank you guys 💋)⁣
⁣
And we can welcome 2021 with a prayer: Praying this year to be better and healthier and happier. 🎆🎊🎉⁣
