Saying ‘Yes’ to Your Dreams When the World Tells You ‘No’ with Quentin Vennie
Quentin Vennie didn’t have the typical upbringing of a successful wellness CPG entrepreneur. He grew up in West Baltimore, was the victim of gun violence before age 12, and overcame addiction and numerous suicide attempts before a life-changing moment when the wellness world ‘found him.’ These days, The Equitea Co. co-founder is on a mission to destigmatize mental health — one sip at a time.
