Today, I bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, Thirsties Modern Cloth Diapers! In their words:
"At Thirsties it is our desire to make it easy and affordable for every family to choose cloth diapers. Whether you are using cloth diapers for the financial savings, for the health of it, or for the environmental benefits, we believe you are making the best choice for your baby. "
Follow along the Thirsties blog for updates and giveaways.
SouleMama: Tell us about your background. What path led you to the work you do today?
Sadler: After my wife and I were married in 2008, we moved back to Boulder, Colorado, from Hermosa Beach, CA, to be closer to family. I grew up in Fort Collins, CO in a large family with 6 kids, 5 boys and 1 girl. After graduating from the University of Colorado with business degree, and a short stop in Vail to be a ski bum, my career led me from one entrepreneurial venture to another, ranging from investment real estate to a nutritional supplement start up. In 2009, my father, who had recently sold a company he had owned for 25 years, decided that he would like to try something new. So, he and I partnered up in search of an environmentally friendly business in an upwardly trending industry to acquire. We looked at everything from solar companies to natural baby product retailers. After 9 months of searching, we were extremely excited to find Thirsties. Thirsties was in an industry that we wholeheartedly believed in and immediately recognized that the company had a lot of positive momentum. The founder, Erin Kimmett had done an incredible job of building the brand with a stellar reputation. We both feel fortunate to be involved in such a wonderful industry and look forward to a long career with Thirsties.
SouleMama: Tell us about your customers.
Sadler: Our customers are wonderful people who share our passion for cloth diapers. We find that the majority of them use cloth for the financial savings, while some do it for the environment.
SouleMama: What's the product or offering you are most excited about right now? Tell us about it.
Sadler: We are working hard on producing a new all in one diaper which we hope will overcome a lot of hurdles that we face with prospective customers who aren’t sure about cloth diapers because they believe it to be confusing or complicated. The new diaper is easy to use and easy to take care of. It was designed to be a very convenient daytime and daycare type diaper, with the option to add absorbency for overnight.
SouleMama: How does the balance of work and family play out for you? How has fatherhood changed the work you do?
Sadler: I love what I do and could work endlessly in pursuit of growing and improving our business. Having a daughter, Mia, has definitely reduced the amount of time I spend at the office and brought a little more balance back into my life. I am very intentional about getting quality time with my wife and daughter each day. I may not always be there in the morning when Mia wakes up but I am home every evening to have dinner with the family and then put Mia to bed. It is something I look forward to every day.
SouleMama: How are your children incorporated into your business?
Sadler: Our 14 month old daughter, Mia, has been a product tester and Thirsties’ model since the day she was born (that's her below!).
For today's giveaway, Thirsties is generously offering the following to TWO winners:
~ 2 Duo Diapers with Snaps
( Thirsties Duo Diapers are easy to use pocket diapers which offer reliable, affordable leak-proof protection! The adjustable rise of this diaper design means that you'll only need two sizes to cover your baby from birth all the way to potty-learning. Thirsties' specialty inserts feature two layers of serged microfiber terry snapped together with five serged layers of hemp jersey; seven thirsty layers in all! Microfiber terry is a fast absorber designed to rest closest to your baby's skin (beneath the microfleece sleeve); hemp is a stable absorber and pairs perfectly behind the microfiber terry to add more absorbency and to prevent compression leaking.)
