I recently had the pleasure of hosting Caitlin Crosby, the founder and CEO of The Giving Keys on this week's episode of Flourish or Fold.

Her company, The Giving Keys, is a jewelry and lifestyle brand that operates on a pay-it-forward model which creates products with inspirational words and encourage customers to pass them on to someone who needs them more.

This sparked an idea that has since employed over 150 people transitioning out of homelessness.Adapting to Change: The pandemic forced The Giving Keys to pivot their business model. They now donate proceeds to nonprofits helping those experiencing homelessness find jobs and continue to share inspiring pay-it-forward stories.Authenticity and Genuine Care: Caitlin emphasizes the importance of authenticity when starting a brand or movement. She believes consumers can sense when someone is not truly invested in their cause.The Power of Creativity: Caitlin shares the pros and cons of being a freely creative and vision-led entrepreneur. She acknowledges that being driven by emotions can sometimes be a challenge, but it also allows her to bring her ideas to life in the moment.Overcoming Challenges: Caitlin opens up about the hardships she faced when her former CFO embezzled funds from the company, and the struggle of balancing motherhood and running a stressful business. Despite these challenges, she remains determined and has found empowerment in taking on additional roles within the company.A Message of Hope: Caitlin leaves us with a heartfelt message, assuring us that we are not alone and that there is always hope. She encourages us to believe in our purpose and not give up.As a token of appreciation for your support, Caitlin is offering a 30% discount on The Giving Keys website with the code "flourish30".

The organization got its start in Haiti and now works in El Salvador and Mexico. Since its inception, New Story has funded 2,300+ homes, built 30 communities and raised more than $25M.After college, Brett knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur as well as be a part of impact-oriented nonprofits. Right after college, at 22 years old, Brett started a for-profit, online ecommerce company. They partnered with two charities, Charity Water and Mission of Hope in Haiti, which is where he was first exposed to the issue of homelessness. After a trip to Haiti, Brett was moved to compassion to see the effects of poverty on families. When he couldn't find a nonprofit that was forward-thinking and moving forward with technology and innovation, Brett was inspired to start his own organization. New Story was launched to create a fresh perspective on the outdated model of charity. They focused on 3D printing as a form of innovative home design that could significantly decrease the cost of a house and the time to make it.In today's interview, Brett tells the story of how he and his team went through the famous startup accelerator, YCombinator. He shares how he and his New Story team have run the nonprofit as a business.

They have two stores, a flagship store in Nashville and a second store in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and are about to open up their wholesale division.

After graduating college, Brittney married Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line and she went directly onto a tour bus with a group of about 12 guys. Meanwhile, she was writing the blueprints to her own brand during her first year of marriage. She launched Tribe Kelley in 2014 on her one-year wedding anniversary. She knew she wanted to do something with fashion and make people feel good about what they put on with a give back initiative.In the early days of the brand, Brittney focused on keeping manufacturing as many of the brand's goods in the United States as possible. They develop and design every piece either in Nashville or Los Angeles to make sure their products are made ethically and in line with their morals. Tribe Kelley gives back with every clothing line launch. In 2020, they worked with a nonprofit called Home Street Home, which serves the homeless community in Nashville. They were able to donate $50,000 from the launch of their butter sweatpants. Today, Brittney tells the story of how her business has succeeded through adversity.

Real Good Company is a show where we talk with real people building good companies that are making a real impact. We're so excited to welcome today's guest, Tina Wells. Tina is a business strategist, advisor, author and the founder of RLVNT Media, a multimedia content venture serving entrepreneurs, tweens and culturists with authentic representation. She is the author of the best-selling tween fiction series “Mackenzie Blue” and its spinoff series “The Zee Files,” which is exclusively sold at Target. Most recently, she launched Elevation Tribe, a mentor group and online platform for aspiring female entrepreneurs, specifically women of color. Tina got her start after answering an ad in Seventeen magazine to be a writer at a newspaper called The New Girl Times. A suburban teenager and the oldest of six kids with dreams of being a fashion writer, she was hired as a product review editor. Intent on finding a way to “finance her suburban lifestyle,” Tina didn't think she could make much money, but she thought it might be a fun way to get the product she liked. In 1996, at the age of 16, Tina launched her first company, Buzz Marketing Group. Two years into it in college, one of her clients told her that she had a business in market research and that she should “figure it out.” So she did. By her senior year of college, she had six-figure research projects and was working with big name clients like Dell, The Oprah Winfrey Network, Kroger, Apple, P+G, Johnson & Johnson, and American Eagle Nicknamed the “millennial whisperer,” after a decade of studying the purchasing decisions of the millennial demographic, Tina was in the position for clients to find her. As the buzz grew, Tina enlisted the help of friends. They nicknamed themselves “buzzspotters,” a network of trendspotters that did market research for brands. In 2000, after a blurb in Cosmopolitan about Tina and Buzz MG, she got 15,00 applications from teenagers from around the world for the role of “buzzspotter.” A decade into running Buzz Marketing Group, Tina wrote her first book, “Mackenzie Blue.” She put her journalism degree and her marketing experience to good use to write a book series for the tween girl market with good values. It sold hundreds of thousands of copies. A couple of years ago, Audible bought the audio rights to it. Tina is a true marketer who understands the balance of art and science in marketing. Today's podcast focuses on her passion for consumer insights and the intersection of research, content product and community. She also shares research insights about what today's youth are craving and what is changing in product and content. For authors, she shares the value of seeing your book as a product, the importance of deeply knowing and understanding your audience and matching that product toward what the consumer wants. She also shares advice for the upcoming entrepreneurs and authors on how to market themselves and work with big name brands.You can find out more about Tina and everything mentioned on today's show here.

Real Good Company is a show where we talk with real people building good companies that are making a real impact. We’re so excited to welcome today’s guest, Brant Menswar, a speaker, author, core values activist, and author of “Black Sheep.” The book was inspired by his son, Theo, who was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer at the age of 14. After 263 straight days in the hospital, the family was told to say their goodbyes. Unbeknownst to Brant, his brother posted a Youtube video pleading for help for Theo. The video went viral overnight, and doctors around the country reached out offering to help. They found a solution to an impossible situation, and Theo survived.After the jarring experience, Brant was motivated to live with more intention and to figure out his nonnegotiable values, aka his “Black Sheep Values” or the things that make him 100 percent, original, and unique. He went on a years-long journey of doing the work to figure out his “Flock of Five,” his nonnegotiable values that can be honored on a daily basis.Today, Brant’s values are clearly established and unchanging. His Flock of Five (plus an additional bonus value) include: hope, creativity, impact, empathy, family, and authenticity. Every decision he makes gets filtered through these six things. Previously, before finding his non-negotiables, Brant was speaking about 25 to 30 times a year. After he did the work to find his values and to live with intention, by July of 2019, Brant was speaking 70 times a year, his speaking fee tripled, and Washington Speakers’ Bureau named him one of the Top 10 Speakers in the country.On today’s podcast, we focus on values-driven leadership and how discovering our nonnegotiable values leads to success. Brant says that people who know their Black Sheep Values have a competitive edge in life versus those who don’t know their non-negotiables and are just winging it. Brant shares how to bring your values to work and how to create values-driven leadership and values-driven organizations. Without these “organizational Black Sheep Values,” a company’s success is based on pure luck or chance. He shares how connecting the head and the heart helps establish those values. Brant also explains how organizations have to be deliberate about how their values are going to be experienced and creating bridges between employees’ personal values and organizational values.You can find out more about Brant and everything mentioned on today’s show here.

Actress, singer, songwriter and entrepreneur Caitlin Crosby knows a thing or two about inspiring others. She began writing songs with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds in high school and subsequently signed to his label, Arista Records. Growing up in Hollywood and working in the entertainment industry inspired Caitlin to launch the campaign LoveYourFlawz to support those dealing with body image issues, with the release of debut album “Flawz” in 2009 through Blackledge/Atlantic Records. While on tour, Caitlin started The Giving Keys which employs those transitioning out of homelessness to make jewelry out of repurposed keys. Each key is engraved with a message like FEARLESS, HOPE, STRENGTH or COURAGE. When the wearer of the key encounters someone else who needs the message - they are encouraged to give it away and share their “pay it forward” story. Over the last three years, The Giving Keys has employed 28 people who have struggled with homelessness, helped 22 move into permanent housing, and collected thousands of pay it forward stories. Today, they have over 50 employees and their products are sold at Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Fred Segal, Kitson and nearly 2,000 other retail stores around the world.Caitlin's story and mission behind The Giving Keys has been featured on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, The Today Show, People Magazine, The Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, E! News, The Steve Harvey Show, Ellen, and countless other media outlets. In 2010, for O Magazine's 10 year anniversary, Caitlin was chosen as a spokesperson for Oprah's top 10 favorite charities at her “Live Your Best Life” events. Since then, her speaking circuit has expanded to include at TEDx, Stanford University, Saddleback Business Summit with Arianna Huffington, Create + Cultivate, Catalyst, and many other conferences.Even with her plate full as Founder and CEO, Caitlin has appeared in dozens of TV shows, commercials, and films, including a worldwide Levi's Jeans campaign. Last year, she released an EP ‘Save That Pillow' with Adam Anders from ‘Glee,' and she's currently working on finishing her next album.

We’re continuing with Season 2 of Real Good Company! We’re so excited to welcome today’s guest, Alli Webb, a New York Times Bestselling Author and the Co-Founder of Drybar and Squeeze. Today, her business spans more than 150 locations across the U.S. and has catapulted into a nationally recognized and highly sought after brand. The Drybar brand has even expanded to products that are sold at major retailers such as Sephora, Ulta, and Nordstrom!The leading business lady was always obsessed with hair. Growing up in Florida, Alli’s curly cues were a piece of art that quickly learned to work with. She was always doing something different, coloring or cutting it. She first opened up to her brother, Michael, about her desire to do hair professionally. In her early 20s, she decided to go to beauty school and instantly felt like this is where she was supposed to be. After spending 15 years as a professional hair stylist, Webb left the hair industry in 2005 to start a family, but after being a stay-at-home mom for five years, Webb decided to find a way to continue pursuing the creative side of hairstyling at a new-mom pace. She began offering affordable in-home blowout services to her mommy friends, which quickly expanded into a mobile operation by 2009. What started as a mobile hair blow out business where Alli went to her clients’ home became a brick-and-mortar hairstyling brand. After realizing that women truly just wanted to feel and look good and that there was a hole in the market for this, in 2010, Alli and her brother (Michael Landau) and ex-husband (Cameron Webb) went to work to conceptualize the idea and open the first Drybar store in Brentwood, California. When they opened, they were booked full for the entire first week. They were so busy so fast that they were having to turn people away. Drybar was a success, and the team quickly began opening locations across Southern California.Alli shares candid advice about how failures are not truly failures in the journey of an entrepreneur but an opportunity to learn. She also opened up about her experience on “Shark Tank” and shifting to being in the tank as one of the sharks reviewing business pitches and evaluating other people’s business plans. Alli also opened about the highs and lows of her personal life from her divorce from her business partner and husband and the struggles of parenting.Today’s podcast focuses on going from a passion to a real life business, how to scale a business and make it profitable, and the willingness to make mistakes as an entrepreneur. Alli shares about her career journey, how she found her passion for hair, the story behind Drybar, and why she believes it became so successful.You can find out more about Alli and everything mentioned on today’s show here.

We’re continuing with the launch of Season 2 of Real Good Company! We’re so excited to welcome today’s guest Raan Parton, Creative Director and Co-founder of Apolis. Raan started Apolis 15 years ago with his brother, Shea Parton, with the mission of connecting small, developing supply chains to larger markets.  He and his wife, Lindsay Parton, lead Alchemy Works and have recently launched FREE MARKET_, a retail chamber of commerce, alongside business partner Paolo Carini.The word “apolis” means “man of no country” and, for the Apolis business model, this word has expanded to mean global citizen. Jokingly dubbed “Carmen San Diego’s clothing company,” today Apolis makes essentially every product you can imagine—glassware, fragrance, shoes, bags, tailoring, technical outerwear from Poland, cashmere in Nepal, handwoven scarves in India/Burma border. Raan created Apolis with the notion of not just wanting to be a spectator of different cultures and places but to be a participant. This required a fair trade relationship with supply chains. His desire was to not just be a tourist but to actually affect how consumers interface with different cultures.As a leader in the business-for-good space, Raan talks about the greatest responsibility of selling products and to be a social enterprise that creates something that people want. A feel good product that people don’t actually want won’t solve anything. While a lot of businesses-for-good focus on the narrative, the focus actually needs to be on how to supply the demand. Social enterprise is able to change the trajectory of a supply chain when they are focused on items that have the exponential possibility of scaling.Raan shares about the journey of creating a product that stands the test of time while focusing on the integrity of how it is produced. He delves into how Apolis has created a sustainable business model by not trying to do everything and sticking to their guns. He also shares about the process of creating sustainability over a decade and the financial and emotional investment that it requires.Today’s podcast focuses on refining supply chain efficacy, the importance of integris for a true business-for-good, tips for how to keep a business alive for a decade, creating inventory that has efficiency in the consumer product business, and how to maintain work/life balance.You can find out more about Apolis and Raan mentioned on today’s show here.

Born to Fly, Not to Fear: Sara Evans & Caitlin Crosby

Jesus Calling: Stories of Faith

Fear and anxiety often worm their way into our lives, and it is easy to give into them. But we have a mighty God on our side, who replaces fear with a beautiful peace that reminds us everything will turn out exactly the way He intends it. Country music artist Sara Evans knew as a young girl that she was “Born to Fly,” because God had called her to a music career. And as Sara looks back on defining moments of her career and her journeys with family and faith, she can trace the moments when fear would try to take over but God gave her the resilience to push through. Growing up in Los Angeles with a passion for helping others, actor and singer Caitlin Crosby learned early on that real beauty and character are found in our flaws. As she prayed for God to show her how to give to others, Caitlin met a talented couple who helped turn her heart for helping into a real-life mission: a jewelry-for-good business called The Giving Keys, which helps people transition out of homelessness. Caitlin believes that embracing the things that scare us can help us uncover our purpose. And as she shares in her new book You are the Key, she’s seen that paying forward a word of encouragement, whether you sleep in a mansion or a cardboard box, can go a long way in helping others—and ourselves—keep reaching for faith and courage.

The Giving Keys are repurposed key necklaces stamped with inspirational words like FEARLESS, HOPE, STRENGTH, and COURAGE. When the wearer of the key encounters someone else who needs the message—they are encouraged to give it away and share their “pay-it-forward” story. Seen on celebrities like Taylor Swift and Nina Dobrev, the Giving Keys is not your average accessories brand in Los Angeles. That's because founder Caitlin Crosby started the company to employ those transitioning out of homelessness to make and assemble their products. Caitlin met up with Alli and Michael to talk about ending homelessness through employment, why "STRENGTH" is their all-time best-selling word, and when she knew it was time to turn her side gig into a full-blown social movement.

Imagine you see a homeless couple on the side of the road holding a sign that says “Ugly, Broke, and Hungry.” You stop to hear their story and take them out to dinner. And before the last course is served, you’ve invited them to be your business partners. That’s the story of Caitlin Crosby, the founder and creative visionary behind the company The Giving Keys and this week’s guest on the Building a StoryBrand podcast. The Giving Keys employs people who are trying to transition out of homelessness to engrave keys with different inspiring words. You buy a key and wear it for awhile, and then you look for a chance to pass it on and pay it forward to somebody you feel needs the message on that key more than you do. Caitlin’s story is remarkable for so many reasons, not the least of which is that she never set out to be a social entrepreneur.
