Loneliness and isolation were on the rise before the pandemic and now it’s become an epidemic.

Our guest, Julie Schechter, and her co-founder Monika Shah created an easy way to share the love, perfect for any occasion or just because, in the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee.

Their ecommerce platform, Small Packages, is a curated care package company that sends major love in just 5 minutes. It offers pre-curated care packages based on different occasions, from break-ups to new babies. Each box type comes in three different price points, so you can choose one that fits your budget.

A Harvard Law graduate, Julie soon discovered practicing law was not for her, and she pivoted a few years after graduating into entrepreneurship.
