Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Marisol Escobar. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Marisol thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Getting that first client is always an exciting milestone. Can you talk to us about how you got your first customer who wasn’t a friend, family, or acquaintance?
The story of my first customer is a really special one because it’s what truly propelled me to start my business. Before that moment, I had been making cold-pressed juice as a passion project, sharing it with friends and family, and getting positive feedback. But I never imagined turning it into something bigger.
Then, one day, out of the blue, I got a message on social media from someone I didn’t know. They had been following my posts and were curious about trying my juices. They placed an order and made my first sell.
That sale was the push I needed to go all in. I immediately started thinking about how I could grow, improve, and share my juices with more people. It wasn’t just about that first dollar—it was the realization that there was a demand, and that this idea had real potential.
That first customer was the spark that turned my dream into a reality, and to this day, I’ll never forget the excitement and gratitude I felt when I saw my first order come through.
Marisol, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hi, I’m Marisol, and I’m the founder of Seeded Juices, a cold-pressed juice company born from my love for health, wellness, and fresh, vibrant ingredients. My journey into the cold-pressed juice world started with a personal desire to live a healthier lifestyle. After experiencing the incredible benefits of juicing and seeing the difference it made in my own energy levels and overall well-being, I felt inspired to share this goodness with others.
I started experimenting in my kitchen, perfecting my juice recipes, and soon realized there was a huge demand for fresh, nutrient-dense juices that could fuel busy lifestyles. I was passionate about creating juices that were not only delicious but also packed with real, whole ingredients. This led to the birth of my business, where I offer a variety of cold-pressed juices made from locally sourced, organic produce.
What sets me apart is my dedication to quality and sustainability. Unlike many mass-produced juices, I focus on small-batch, hand-crafted juices that retain all the natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals from the produce. I believe in creating a product that doesn’t just taste good but also supports the health of my customers. I take the time to carefully choose ingredients that balance flavor with nutrition, ensuring every bottle delivers the maximum health benefits.
At Seeded Juices, I solve the problem of providing fresh, healthy options for people who are busy but still care about what they put in their bodies. Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, detox, or simply feel more energized, my juices offer a convenient, nutrient-packed solution that makes healthy living easier.
What I’m most proud of is the positive impact I’ve had on my customers’ lives. Hearing how my juices have helped people feel better, improve their energy, or just add a little more balance to their busy routines is incredibly rewarding. But I’m also proud of how far my business has come—from making juices in my kitchen to having loyal customers who genuinely love the products I create.
What I want potential clients, followers, and fans to know is that Seeded Juices is more than just a juice company—it’s a passion project built on the belief that health should be accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable. I’m deeply committed to providing high-quality products that nourish the body while supporting local farmers and the environment.
If you’re looking for a juice that’s not only delicious but also made with love, care, and the finest ingredients, then I’d love for you to give my juices a try. Thank you for supporting my journey!
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was the idea that I needed to go all-in from day one and invest heavily in my business right away. Early on, I thought that in order to be successful, I needed to spend a lot on marketing, equipment, and everything else upfront, thinking it would set me on the fast track to success. I figured the more I invested, the quicker I’d grow. But I quickly realized that wasn’t necessarily the best approach.
Instead, I learned that it’s better to take things step by step and let the business grow naturally. By starting smaller, I was able to test my products, build a loyal customer base, and understand the needs of my audience before making big financial commitments. This allowed me to make more informed decisions about where and how to reinvest into the business.
In hindsight, I’m grateful for that realization. Going slow and steady helped me build a solid foundation and gave me the flexibility to scale at a pace that made sense. I now understand the value of patience and strategy in growing a business, rather than diving headfirst without a clear understanding of where the money is going or what will provide the most return.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
For me, building an audience on social media actually came before starting my business. I had always been passionate about health, wellness, and fresh, nutritious food, so I began sharing my personal journey toward healthier living on social media. I started posting about recipes and tips for living a balanced life, without necessarily thinking about it as a business at the time.
I was genuinely connecting with people who were interested in the same things, and the more content I shared, the more people followed along. What I didn’t expect was how quickly this community would grow—by consistently sharing content that reflected my values and passion, I naturally built an engaged audience. It wasn’t about selling anything at first; it was simply about offering value and giving people a glimpse into my journey.
Once I decided to turn my passion into a business, I already had an engaged audience who trusted me and believed in the message I was sharing. They were excited to try my juices because they had seen my authenticity and commitment to health firsthand. My audience became my first customers, and the feedback they gave helped shape my products and business.
For anyone starting to build their presence on social media, I would advise, start with your passion. Share what you’re genuinely excited about. If you’re consistent and authentic, people will connect with that energy and want to follow your journey.
Building an audience before even starting my business allowed me to start with a built-in community who were invested in what I was doing. It gave me the confidence to take the leap into entrepreneurship, knowing I had a supportive and engaged following ready to help me succeed.
