Show Notes
From pandemic reflection to eco-entrepreneurs, Mat Beaudoin and Shawn Kearns of Greenbriar Market + Refillery are redefining sustainable shopping.
Frustrated by the lack of truly sustainable options, they launched an online store in 2021, vetting every product for eco-friendliness and effectiveness.
Their passion and complementary skills—Shawn's retail expertise and Mat's financial acumen—fueled rapid growth, leading to a physical store in Calgary and now a second location.
We’ll explore their transition from online to brick-and-mortar, the cost-saving benefits of refilling, and how they balance their 'why' with their lives. They also discuss:
💡 Vetting brands and suppliers
🌍 Commercial real estate search and experiences
