Inspiring Conversations with Jon-Michael Moses of Meet Haus Inc.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jon-Michael Moses

Hi Jon-Michael, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Meet Haus started as a passion project inspired by a love for creating warm, inviting spaces at home. It all began with a simple idea: that candles could be more than just a scent—they could become a meaningful part of daily rituals. While there were plenty of candles on the market, few truly balanced quality, sustainability, and a memorable scent experience.

I wanted to create something different—candles that filled rooms with beautiful fragrances and were also eco-friendly, natural, and crafted with care. The early days were spent experimenting with different waxes, essential oils, and natural ingredients, hand-pouring candles in small batches. I was determined to focus on sustainability, using only biodegradable soy wax, which burns cleaner, and offering reusable vessels.

Now, Meet Haus is in an exciting phase of growth. We’re just beginning to get our candles into local stores, starting with the Made in Baltimore shop in the Inner Harbor, while continuing to expand our online presence. This journey has been about connecting with people who share our love for quality, eco-friendly products. We’re looking forward to what the future holds as we continue to grow and reach new customers.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but that’s all part of the journey. Like many small businesses, we faced our fair share of challenges, especially in the beginning. One of the biggest hurdles was sourcing high-quality, sustainable materials that aligned with our values. It was important to us to use eco-friendly ingredients like soy wax and essential oils, but finding the right suppliers at a small scale took time.

Another challenge was simply getting the word out. The candle market is highly competitive, and as a small business, it can be difficult to stand out. In the early days, we relied heavily on word-of-mouth and social media to build a following. It was a learning curve to figure out how to effectively market our products, especially with limited resources.

Most recently, expanding into retail has presented a new and ongoing challenge. Finding buyers and building relationships with retailers has been tough, especially as a small brand. It takes time, persistence, and the right connections. However, we’re making steady progress, and it’s exciting to see our candles on store shelves. As we continue to grow our retail presence, we’re also focusing on expanding our online reach to connect with more customers who appreciate quality, eco-friendly candles. It’s a continual journey, but every step forward feels like a significant win.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
I enjoy the creative process—blending different scents and crafting something meaningful and unique. Building a brand that reflects our values, like sustainability and quality, is a constant source of motivation.
