How did Jamie's personal struggles influence her entrepreneurial journey?
What a name.
Well, the name's catchy, so it works. But also, it's based off Western, and that's kind of like my roots is Western, per se. But yeah, it's an all-natural baby teething chew made out of vegetable tanned leather. And it's really simple and basic. Yep, it is right here.
Yes.
It's a puzzle piece shaped for easy chewing and grabbing so babies can chew on it. And it's honestly for all ages. Weirdly enough, adults chew on it too. Yeah. And, you know, people losing their teeth, all these things. I mean, it can help anyone. We just focus on for when babies have their teeth coming in because it can be painful. So we actually add chamomile tallow into the backside of the leather too, which adds some soothing. Chamomile throughout history has been used for helping inflammation, soothing. The tallow has... has a lot of vitamins and minerals. So there's ABC and E vitamins, some D vitamin. There's fatty acids that are good for brain growth. It's good for jaw development. I mean, it's not just, it seems simple and the ingredients are simple, but it has a really high impact.

Let's talk about the origin story. How did this begin?
Well, my daughter's a miracle child. We couldn't have kids and we've been married seven years at the time. We got married at 19 and 20. So we're a little folk.
Yeah. The old fashioned way.
Cool. Um, but we couldn't have kids for a long time and we had actually our marriage itself is a miracle. We went through some really hard stuff, uh, came out on top and doing amazing better than ever. Um, but we started going to this new church and the pastor asked us if we wanted kids. And I just like, I was like, what do you mean? Well, it was like an altar call thing, but I was like, what do you mean want kids?
