Rebecca Lassiter: We’re Not Weak, This Is Really Hard

Rebecca Lassiter is the co-founder of Lassiter Distilling Company, a rum distillery in Knightdale, North Carolina. When I thought about people who showcase what it means to be a resilient person, Rebecca came to mind immediately.

She co-founded a business from scratch in an industry she had no experience in while parenting a 1 year old child and helped grow that business while working a full time day job as the breadwinner of the family and helping parent 2 children.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • Why Rebecca and her husband decided to move across the country and start a new business in an industry they knew nothing about, while pregnant with their first child
  • The strength Rebecca gets from her father and what she learned after his sudden heart attack a few years ago
  • The importance of setting goals and breaking points
  • Life advice from her husband’s 100 year old grandmother
  • Why it’s so important to acknowledge that things get hard and not everybody’s life is going as perfectly as they portray it to be
