What a thrill to read a feature about Seattle Chocolate Company CEO Jean Thompson in the November 2008 issue of More magazine. This is the one with Jane Fonda, Sharon Stone, and Tea Leoni on the cover. The story appears on page 70 under the title, “Success can be sweet: These three women took a passion for chocolate and turned it into a money-making mid-life business.” Jean’s story leads the feature, and it is fabulous. Jean really knows how to convey her authenticity, offer sassy and memorable sound bites that ring true, and invite support for the products she and her team are passionate about creating as they bring “What Happiness Tastes Like™” to a hungry nation. Next month, we understand that Essence magazine will be featuring Seattle Chocolates in the holiday gift guide, contributing even more momentum to the company’s efforts. As the article in More magazine suggests, chocolate is the ultimate comfort food. Bring it on!
