Interview With BareNine Holistics LLC Owner Tineeca Hughes
Hello, my name is Tineeca Hughes. I am a 26-year-old from Kansas City, Mo with a passion for natural and holistic healing. After having no luck with store-bought products/medicine for my skin and Hypothyroidism, I decided to embark on the journey of natural healing. After spending hundreds of dollars on skincare products for my ever-changing skin, I started creating my own plant-based skincare products and educating myself on how to heal my body from the inside out. Having much success, I decided to share what I have learned with the world! Thus, BareNine Holistics was born! We seek to provide healing through plant-based skin and body products and aromatherapy while educating and encouraging a holistic lifestyle.
What is the inspiration for the name?
BareNine Holistics was inspired by several things:
Bare: It is our goal to give our customers the confidence to love themselves BARE. From your skin to your soul, we want to be bare and transparent about health and what it means to be WHOLE-historically healthy.
Nine: Number 9 has many significant meanings for our brand. We are often taught that there are only five dimensions to holistic health, however, health is much more in-depth than just those five aspects. BareNine seeks to educate our customers and anyone who comes in contact with us; the NINE dimensions of holistic health as it pertains to our lives. The nine dimensions we focus on are: physical, emotional, creative, environmental, financial, occupational, intellectual, social, and spiritual.
As a company founded on Christian principles, we acknowledge the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, one of them being the gift of healings. We at BareNine Holistics pride ourselves on our faith and commitment to providing honesty and intention. We believe that every good gift comes from God, and we seek to provide healing through His natural givings. 3 John 1:2.
The owner and founder have nine nieces and nephews who she credits much of her success and drive to. They are one of many driving forces behind BareNine's mission and focus.
Holistics: We are more than just our skin! We are souls living in our skin and we want the inside to be just as healthy and beautiful as the outside. That is why our company focuses on the WHOLE person's health and not just the health and appearance of one's skin.
What is holistic healing?
Holistic Healing is the practice of health and wellness that considers the WHOLE person and all of the internal and external factors affecting them. You wear your skin daily and there's nothing worse than living in the skin that you aren't proud of. I hope to demonstrate how nature is meant to work for YOU! We are meant to live happy, healthy (whole)istic lives. Let's start NOW! 🙂
What is BareNine Holistics' mission?
BareNine Holistics was created to provide organic, affordable skincare, and aromatherapy for customers who seek high-quality products with simple ingredients. I believe the earth has given us everything we need to heal and thrive and BareNine's products are made with only high-quality, natural ingredients. I am not a doctor, esthetician or dermatologist, just a lover of knowledge and natural healing. Our products not only treat skincare issues, but it goes beneath the surface to heal the underlying causes of disruptive skin. Here, we pride ourselves on using only the best products to produce the best results!

Interview With Thalia Cherry Owner Of Cherry Co.
https://youtu.be/lUoRkNmAKnQ
In 2012, she founded Cherry, which designs and produces licensed sporting goods and apparel for schools, retailers, corporations, and professional athletes. Cherry purchases apparel from a broad range of manufacturers, and then those football jerseys, basketball uniforms, and oxford shirts are imprinted or sublimated with innovative designs and logos.
In four years, she’s built a client list that includes big names like Assurant, Target, the University of Missouri, Kansas City Power & Light, the University of Kansas, and a number of athletic teams.
The company has three full-time employees and 30 contractors who handle design, production, and distribution. While its operating model has been a winning approach, Cherry sought external guidance to surpass the $1 million in annual sales threshold. She turned to ScaleUP! Kansas City to come up with an expansion game plan.
ScaleUP! Kansas City is a free, but selective program offered by the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Innovation Center and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Over the course of 16 weeks, small business owners receive training and mentoring tailored to their business needs.
3 Keys for a Growing Business
So what has Thalia Cherry learned through ScaleUP! Kansas City? And what advice would she share with other entrepreneurs?
Don’t hang all your hopes on one line of business // “I learned the value of diversifying your product line,” Cherry said. “Warren Buffett diversified from core areas of his businesses. With risk management, you will be able to identify new opportunities and weather storms.”
Cherry, for example, might be best known for licensed apparel for schools and organizations, but she’s also helped several professional athletes develop their own lines of merchandise.
“Our niche is to work with athletes,” Thalia Cherry said. “The athletes often utilize the return on investment in relation to the intellectual property to augment their respective foundations. We handle the entire supply chain process from concept, design, logistics, product manufacturing to retail distribution for them.”
Always look for solutions // When a client or business partner says no to a proposal, Cherry searches for another option that will make them say yes. Persistence and open-mindedness are key ingredients to the company’s success. “I use these moments as a springboard or opportunity to find alternative solutions to meet the needs of the customer.”
This approach works most effectively when you’ve developed great relationships with your clients. “This is a fundamental principle of our company and the reason people trust us to produce a quality product,” Cherry said.
Believe in your vision // “Follow your purpose. Believe in what you’re meant to do,” Cherry said. “Others that don’t have the vision won’t necessarily comprehend your passion, but the greatest internal success comes from staying true to your purpose.”
The great thing about entrepreneurship, Cherry said, is “there’s no ceiling. Similar to other entrepreneurs, I seek and thrive in challenging environments. There’s no limit other than what you put on yourself.”
Providing a Foundation for Others
And finally, Thalia Cherry said, don’t forget to give back.
She and her husband, Mark, established the Cherry Foundation to support athletic teams and education initiatives in communities throughout the United States.
Three percent of the company’s gross revenue is channeled to the foundation to foster the next generation of student-athletes. Some of the foundation’s partners include the Kansas City Sports Commission, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, College Summit, and many others.
The foundation was inspired by her parents, who influenced thousands of young people through their 20-plus-year public service careers in Kansas City, Kan.
Thanks to her parents, “I developed persistence,” Cherry said. “Both parents contributed to the infusion of the work ethic and fondness of sports, in addition to my entrepreneurial spirit and drive
