In this inspiring conversation, Jacobia Solomon takes us through her 20-year journey leading organizations across industries like healthcare, SaaS, manufacturing, and logistics—before stepping into entrepreneurship with her mocktail brand, Sipside.
With a background in engineering and executive leadership, Jacobia explains how systems thinking, discipline, and resilience shaped her career. She opens up about what it really takes to leave corporate stability behind and build something from scratch.
Jacobia shares the personal story behind Sipside—a brand born from her desire to feel included in social settings without compromising her choice not to drink alcohol. She saw a growing gap in the market and used her problem-solving mindset to create a bold, flavor-forward alternative for those seeking clarity without compromise.
The conversation dives deep into the realities of entrepreneurship—from wearing every hat as a solo founder to learning when to outsource and lean on community. Jacobia offers powerful advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, including her standout message: stop waiting for permission and build your own door.
She also discusses the importance of networking, staying connected, and continuing to sharpen your skills—even while building something new.
