This week onBubbles & Biz, I'm sipping + chatting with Jen Millard, the CEO and co-founder ofMaine Love, a brand-new business that’s changing the way we think about water, sustainability, and local economies. 💦Jen shares how her deep roots in Maine (we’re talking 12 generations!) and background in retail and tech, which led her to an innovative idea: turning struggling craft breweries into co-packers for high-quality canned water. We dive into why Sebago Lake is a goldmine for pristine water, how Maine’s breweries can adapt to shifting consumer habits, and why aluminum might just be the future of hydration. 🍻Along the way, Jen drops some incredible entrepreneurial wisdom—how to stay adaptable, embrace feedback (even the tough kind), and build a business that makes an impact. Plus, she spills the tea (or rather, the water) onMaine Love’s upcoming expansion and what’s next for the brand! 🙌So grab a glass and let's chat 🥂#BubblesAndBiz #MaineLove #Entrepreneurship #SustainableBusiness #CannedWater #SupportLocalConnect with Jen and MaineLove here: https://mainelove.comWant to join an awesome group of biz owners with networking, coworking, guest speakers and SOOOO much more?Join us in the Bubbles & Biz Community! https://bubblesandbiz.co
