Poppi Founder Allison Ellsworth on Mom Guilt, Marriage & Building a Billion Dollar Brand

As the creator of Poppi, Allison Ellsworth has had to learn how to balance both motherhood and running an ultra-successful business. Today, she shares some of what she’s learned along the way and whether or not there is such thing as balance in our next installment of The Ultimate Unbalancing Act, our four-part series with Yahoo. 

Allison walks us through her business journey from starting Poppi to pitching the brand on Shark Tank while pregnant. She also explains her philosophy that there is no such thing as balance when starting a business and making it successful. Eventually, she had to build in time to prioritize her family and the things she loved. Allison is up front about the hard work it takes to build a brand as big a Poppi and is open about the work she put in; she even brought her baby to meetings! For anyone looking to start a business and wondering how to balance it all, Allison offers a unique perspective that maybe there is no such thing as balance, and that’s okay.
