If your business can't function without you touching every single thing... we need to talk. 😂

In this episode, we're digging into the not-so-sexy side of business that can make literally everything else easier: operations.

We're talking SOPs, hiring, training, delegation, accountability, finances, team expectations, and how to stop being the only person who knows how everything is supposed to work.

We also get into the harder parts of being the owner: letting go of control, figuring out what actually deserves your time, building a team you can trust, protecting your own energy, and creating a business that doesn't require you to be in the weeds 24/7.

Because the goal isn't to build yourself a really stressful job with a bunch of employees. 😂 It's to build a business that actually works, makes money, supports the people inside of it, and leaves some room for you to be a damn human too.

Your inventory is literally your money. Soooo... how much of it is currently sitting in your back room? 👀

In this episode, we're joined by Mary Langrade from Well Retailed and Jacob Horton from Faves to talk about one of the biggest pieces of running a retail business: buying inventory without tying up all your damn cash.

We're getting into overbuying AND underbuying, inventory budgets, sell-through, markdowns, trends, seasonal buying, what to do with old inventory, and why the data sometimes knows your customer better than you think you do.

We also talk about planning your buys around your actual sales goals, knowing when to go harder on something that's working, knowing when to get the hell out, and why holding onto inventory "for next year" might be costing you way more than you realize.

Basically, if you've ever walked into market and blacked out a little with the order forms... this one's for you. 😂

Marketing kinda fucking sucks. There, we said it. 😂

But if we want our businesses to grow, we can't just build a beautiful website, open our doors, post when we remember, and hope people magically show up.

In this episode, we're talking about what marketing actually looks like behind the scenes: planning promotions, creating rhythms, email + text, organic content, paid ads, website traffic, conversion, and figuring out what is actually moving the needle.

We're also talking about the panic-marketing trap (we've both been there 🙋‍♀️), why you don't need to do ALL THE THINGS, and what we've learned from our own businesses about making marketing a little more intentional and a little less like throwing shit at the wall every Tuesday.

Because your website matters. Your marketing matters. And unfortunately... you need both. 😂
