Coaching for Social Entrepreneurs, with Multi-Time Founder, Jessica Rolph

In this episode, we are joined by visionary entrepreneur and a)plan supporter, Jessica Rolph. Jessica is the co-founder of Happy Family, a mom-founded and parent-operated organic baby food company that sold to Group Danone in 2013. Turning her attention from nutrition to brain development, Jessica then co-founded Lovevery, a company focused on creating developmental experiences in the lives of new babies and families. Now with 160 employees, Lovevery helps parents feel confident that they are creating the perfect developmental environment for their little ones. The common thread with Jessica’s work is that she’s a changemaker to the core. In discussing her social entrepreneurship journey, Jessica shares how the fast pace of a startup environment can rapidly create social change. Under the umbrella of foundership, we also discuss how to allow employees to be themselves, trusting them to do great work, listening to all perspectives, and choosing curiosity over judgement when things aren’t going well. At the center of these values, a)plan coaching proudly serves as a supporting resource for Jessica and others at Lovevery.
