Chances are you’ve seen the Humm brand at your local grocery store, restaurant or even on tap. You may be wondering ‘what Kombucha is exactly?’… In simple terms, it is a fermented tea rich in probiotics and claims many health benefits. Jamie and Michelle have been at the forefront, advocating these benefits and introducing this healthy alternative to sugary beverages. To make things even more interesting, Humm is the Official Kombucha of the Seattle Seahawks (the first kombucha company to ever forge a relationship with an NFL team!).

Being a company advisor to a group of 8 reminded me of what it was like to have so much uncertainty about careers, college and finding purpose - which is why I wanted to ask a few of my group members some questions so we can all step back into the shoes of a high school student (the good and the bad). Overall, the experience at YEBW was incredibly rewarding, motivating and inspiring to see so many other creative minds in one place - hopefully this interview gives you a small taste. Enjoy!
