Episode 46: An Interview with Loren Lewin Founder of Companion Candles

Join Lori and her guest, Loren Lewin, in this conversation about incorporating philanthropy in business. Loren is the founder of Companion Candles, which was launched because of a very personal experience (more about that in the podcast). Following the success of her business in just a short amount of time, she talks about the impact she’s had with the cause she supports. Stay tuned!

Here are the things to expect in this episode:

• The organizations that she is currently supporting.
• How does she balance working full-time and managing Companion Candles?
• Starting a business with the intention of giving back.
• Partnering with stores that also incorporate philanthropy in their business model.
• And much more!

About Loren Lewin:

After many hours of quarantine with her pup, Loren Lewin realized that her store bought candles did not live up to their claims (or her standards) and were filled with dirty ingredients that were not only harmful to her, but her dog. Loren threw out her store bought candles and started making her own homemade, clean version. She never looked back; Companion Candles was founded in 2021.

A much needed change in the industry, Companion Candles takes it back to the basics.

Born and raised in Chicago, Loren has worked with a number of brands including Lyft, SpotHero, Grubhub, SXSW and Tribeca Film Festival.
