How do you grow your passion into a unique and profitable business that stays true to your values and motivations? For travel lover Violeta Edelman, one epic adventure across South America inspired her and husband Robb Duncan to combine their love for coffee and gelato to build the beloved, family-owned D.C. company we know today: Dolcezza.

Join us in this Women of Fire Fireside Chat for an exciting conversation with Violeta. We will explore how Dolcezza scaled their business into a team of 100 employees, six retail shops, one production facility, and a wholesale program that includes 100 restaurants and 2500 grocery stores nationwide.
