In this week's episode, I sit down with Brittany Anderson, the owner and founder of Adorn Headwear. Brittany tells us the compelling story of how she transformed her personal frustration—struggling to find stylish hats that fit well—into a thriving niche business. Adorn Headwear caters specifically to individuals with larger head sizes or voluminous hairstyles. Brittany opens up about the significant challenges she faced as an entrepreneur and how she successfully launched her brand despite having no prior experience in fashion or manufacturing. About The Guest Brittany Anderson is the owner and founder of Adorn Headwear, a luxury hat and accessories brand specializing in extended sizing. During a 2020 trip to Palm Springs, where she struggled to find a stylish hat that could accommodate her hair comfortably in the 105-degree heat. This challenge highlighted a significant gap in the market for individuals with curls, locs, fros, or larger head sizes, who often have to choose between comfort and style. Motivated by her own experience, Brittany launched Adorn Headwear to ensure that style and comfort are accessible to everyone, regardless of their hair type or head size. Adorn Headwear is not just a brand; it's a movement towards inclusivity and quality in fashion.  t The Host: Jacinta Gandy is a seasoned entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in design, digital marketing, and tech.

As a management consultant and frequent business traveller, Kristi Soomer faced a problem that many modern women have dealt with when packing for trips: she simply couldn’t fit all of her necessities into just a carry-on. While mildly inconvenient for most of us, this presented a very frustrating issue for Kristi, who traveled over 100,000 miles for work annually! But she had an “A-Ha!” moment when packing for a yoga retreat- perhaps finding more versatile pieces that had multiple wardrobe functions could help resolve the issue. She was disappointed in the quality of the mass-produced multi-way pieces she found, so after procuring a sewing machine from Craigslist, she got to work! Over time and with a great deal of research, Kristi grew her idea into a seven-figure business, Encircled, of which she is the proud CEO. In this episode, Kristi shares the secrets of how her booming business was launched with surprisingly limited capital. How can you find success in your business, even with very limited capital?About Kristi: Kristi Soomer is the founder and CEO of Encircled, a Canadian-made line of versatile, sustainably made clothing that helps women streamline their wardrobes.Inspired by her love of travel and dislike for checking a bag, Kristi started Encircled in 2012 while she was working as a management consultant. At the time, she was travelling over 100,000 miles a year and found there was a lack of travel clothes that blended style with function. Kristi's first multi-way-design - The Chrysalis Cardi - was made on the kitchen floor of her condo using a sewing machine she found on Craigslist.Over the next two years, Kristi immersed herself in fabric research and courses in illustration and sewing to create a capsule collection of sustainably made basics and multi-way clothing. In 2014, she left her corporate job to open Encircled's first studio space in Toronto.Since then, Kristi has grown Encircled into a seven-figure business that was named a Certified B Corp in 2018. Kristi is committed to meeting high ethical and sustainable standards in all aspects of her company, from using fabrics that honour the environment to providing good working conditions and fair wages for her sewers.About Your Host:Jacinta Gandy is passionate about small business and a champion of women’s entrepreneurship.

While attending university, Hannah King was taught a crucial business principle that would impact her life: rather than creating a product or business and then looking for customers, you need to identify a problem or need first, and design your product or business to solve it.Being Guatemalan-American and visiting the small villages of Guatemala during her school breaks opened her eyes to an issue that the indigenous people faced. Their traditional artwork and handmade products were beautiful and unique, but when tourism slowed, they struggled to make sales.Hannah recognized the need for a platform for these artists, similar to what U.S. artisans have to promote their products online. Thus, after winning a business competition from her school which gave her start-up funds, her business Woven Futures was born. In this episode, Hannah shares the background of her incredible entrepreneurial journey and gives insight to other young entrepreneurs looking to get their start. How can you meet a need or fill a gap in your community through your business? About Hannah: Hannah King is the founder of Woven Futures, an ethical fashion company with a mission of preserving Latin American Textiles and Indigenous artisan techniques through modern and sustainable fashion. She began Woven while in college, after she spent the summer in her home country of Guatemala. There she met several indigenous artisans that made incredible textile pieces, but struggled to sell them. As a Guatemalan-American, Hannah knew that she had the unique ability to unite both cultures through something as universal as fashion. Woven Futures now employs over 60 artisans in Guatemala and make 100% organic, plant-based, and up-cycled women’s fashion & accessories that not only help preserve cultures but also empower the people who make them. Hannah has since quit her full-time job to go full time on her business and continue to expand Woven Future's mission.Learn more about Hannah at: Shop ethically and sustainably made fashion at wovenfutures.com Follow Hannah on IG at @wovenfuturesAbout Your Host:Jacinta Gandy is passionate about small business and a champion of women’s entrepreneurship.

It’s a wonder that serial entrepreneur Katrina Garnes finds time to sleep. Between her 9-to-5 position as Director of Marketing and Communications in higher education, her role as Founder and CEO of Cold Storm Media Productions LLC and Delectable Vending LLC, and her recently launched coaching website, Katrina is constantly in action, making carer moves and securing her multiple streams of income. But Katrina will be the first to tell you- being an entrepreneur with multiple side hustles and “passive” income streams isn’t the laid-back, glamorized career that social media influencers often make it out to be. Running a business (or two, or three) takes a great deal of hard work, personal dedication, and countless long nights and weekends spent pursuing your passion and creating a financial safety net. This allows you to plan your “exit strategy” and establish a name for yourself- requiring years of work before you get to sip those cocktails while you work from the beach (seriously, social media influencers- no one does that). In this episode, Katrina reveals the reality of running an entrepreneurial empire, and offers advice for anyone just starting out. How can you set yourself and your business up for financial success? About Katrina: Katrina Garnes has been an entrepreneur juggling multiple businesses and media opportunities since graduating from Francis Marion University with her Bachelor’s in Mass Communications. She has been a side-hustle queen, working a 9 to 5 job serving as Director of Marketing and Communications, while juggling the role of being Founder and CEO of Cold Storm Media Productions LLC and Delectable Vending LLC.You can learn more about Katrina at: - katrinagarnes.com - Follow on IG at @katrinagarnesAbout Your Host:Jacinta Gandy is passionate about small business and a champion of women’s entrepreneurship.
