The Rise of BakedWithBri: A Journey of Passion and Perseverance
In the ever-evolving world of cannabis entrepreneurship, few stories are as inspiring as that of Brianna Carbonaro, the visionary behind BakedWithBri. With a unique blend of creativity and determination, Brianna is carving out a niche in the cannabis industry, providing informative content and innovative products to a growing audience.
Inspiration Behind BakedWithBri
Brianna’s entrepreneurial spirit was ignited by her family’s legacy. Watching her cousin transform from a regular salary job to a successful businessman under the guidance of her grandfather left a lasting impression on her. “I got to watch in real-time how it directly impacted my cousin’s immediate family. They never worried about a bill, spent a lot of time together as a family, and had the freedom to travel,” Brianna recalls. This profound experience fueled her desire to embark on her own entrepreneurial journey, eventually leading to the creation of BakedWithBri.
BakedWithBri: The Journey Begins
Brianna’s entrepreneurial path started early, selling friendship bracelets and art pieces throughout her school years. Her passion for creativity and unconventional career choices led her to the cannabis industry when it became legal in Massachusetts. Now, as part of a Boston-based company’s sales team, she has also launched her brand, BakedWithBri. The brand aims to provide educational videos on all things cannabis as well. “My business is still very new, but it also includes appearances in the influencer capacity at dispensary storefronts,” says Brianna.
Boston Buds: A New Venture
Recently, Brianna became the host of a mini-series called Boston Buds, created by Purely Boston for their Instagram account, which boasts 246K followers. The series explores cannabis dispensaries, delivery operators, and cultivation facilities in the Massachusetts legal market, highlighting what they offer and what they’re all about.
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Success
Navigating the complex regulations surrounding cannabis marketing on social media has been one of Brianna’s significant challenges. Despite Instagram’s stringent rules, she has found alternative ways to promote her brand, such as KM marketing, branded merchandise at events, and sponsoring local happenings. A key milestone in her journey was appearing on the Offering Something Podcast in Boston, a decision fueled by the belief that “Your greatest potential lies outside of your comfort zone.”
The Future of BakedWithBri
Brianna’s vision for BakedWithBri extends beyond its current scope. She plans to write books that cater to the 420-friendly community, including an educational guide, an infused recipe cookbook, and a travel guide. Her goal is to educate consumers and enhance their experience with cannabis. “I’m still very new into my business, but I plan to write a few books that will help the 420-friendly community,” Brianna shares.
Final Thoughts: Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
For those looking to follow in her footsteps, Brianna offers valuable advice: “Every failure leads you one step closer to your success. Keep going. Don’t sweat the small stuff. If you have a good idea, act on it sooner rather than later, before someone else does.” Her entrepreneurial philosophy is grounded in action and persistence, emphasizing the importance of investing in oneself and seeking support from like-minded individuals.
