On episode 19 of NWA Founders, the Northwest Arkansas business podcast, published July 22, 2025, Bethany Taylor shared the story of the business. The conversation runs 1 hr 38 min. What happens when you leave a stable corporate job with nothing but an idea you believe in? In this episode of NWA Founders, we sit down with Bethany Taylor, the powerhouse founder behind Gratsy: a curated sampling and brand experience company that delivers personalized gift boxes directly into consumers’ hands. Bethany’s story is one of grit, vision, and unwavering belief. After years in retail marketing at Sam’s Club, she saw a gap in how brands connect with people. So she built Gratsy: a smarter, warmer alternative to mass sampling, powered by data and personal touch.
