Daina Trout – Chief Mission Officer, Health-Ade Kombucha: Active Listening and Collaboration

On today’s episode Daina Trout shares how her experience as a CEO helped her develop trust and influence within her organization when assuming a new role as Chief Mission Officer. Listen in as Laura and Daina explore the importance of focusing on brand and employee communication when sharing the mission of your organization, how to thrive where no one has paved the way, and knowing what to listen for when building trust with your team. Daina Trout co-founded Health-Ade Kombucha in 2012 alongside her husband, Justin Trout, and best friend, Vanessa Dew, in Los Angeles. Trout, who has Masters’ degrees in Nutrition and in Public Health from Tufts University, was working in corporate America when she decided to pursue her passion for “real” food and brew the best-tasting, highest quality kombucha on the market. Under her fearless leadership, Health-Ade has grown from a small production beverage made in her apartment and sold at local farmers markets into the fastest growing brand in the category three years in a row. When Trout is not tirelessly working to bring kombucha to every fridge in America, she is spending time with her husband and son, traveling, adventuring, cooking and enjoying outdoor life.   You can connect with Daina via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dainatrout/ Go to https://health-ade.com/ and enter SPEAKINGTOINFLUENCE15 for 15% off your purchase.
