We were lucky to catch up with Ed and Ysante McDowell recently and have shared our conversation below.
Ed and Ysante , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
Ed’s All Purpose Seasoning and Rub LLC is a company that began in our kitchen at our dinner table in the summer of 2015. We are wanting to build the legacy of family and the importance of creating generational wealth that is more than just money.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Our company was birth from the hands of Ed McDowell in their kitchen at the family dinner table. Ed began to create different spice blends which turned out to be the first seasoning and rub in one bottle. Ed’s wife, Ysante, took what Ed created which turned into a business for the couple. What began with one seasoning and rub in small trial size bags for others to try is now in 8 different seasonings and rubs bottles sold all over.
Everything Ed created balances out so well. No one spice over powers the other. They are all low sodium, no msg, gluten free flavor enhancers not seasoning salts which gains rave reviews from customers who choose to only use Ed’s. This is what sets us apart from our competitors.
We are proud of the fact that our faith led us to start a business from nothing and to still be standing strong 8 years later.
How’d you meet your business partner?
Ed and Ysante met June 14th, 1996 at a club in Spartanburg, SC called “Buckwheats” which is no longer in existence. We had a son in July 1997. We married in April 1999. We gave birth to a daughter in July 2000.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
We built our social media audience mainly Facebook by posting everyday 2-3 times a day. We would post pictures of our products, videos, even share customer reviews. We would share store locations and restaurants to purchase or try Ed’s All Purpose products.
