This one’s for the dreamers building bold things with real heart.
In this episode of Not So Avg., I sit down with Alexandra Sangster, founder of The Sarjesa Group and Owner of BUZZD Nutrition, who started a purpose-driven company while still in university. From day one, Alexandra has been focused on more than profit. She’s reshaping the future of manufacturing in Alberta, building supply chains that empower women, and selling goods that make a difference.
We get into it all. The entrepreneurial highs and lows, focus on causes close to home, and the importance of community and mentorship when you're building something bigger than yourself.
Alexandra shares what it really looks like to lead with values, build through adversity, and never let go of the mission. Even when things get tough.
If you're building something meaningful or just looking for that push to start, this one’s for you.
