Thank you for tuning into "Starting Small", a podcast about brand development, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the modern world. In this episode, I am joined by Mark Shami, CEO and Founder of The M Jewelers, a luxury jewelry brand out of NYC. Growing up with a family of jewelers, Mark temporarily diverted from his heritage to pursue a career as a touring pop artist. While on the road, Inspiration towards style and culture began to spark, and Mark began selling graphic tees through E-commerce. This ultimately led to an end to touring and the conceptualization of The M Jewelers went under way, going live in 2014. At launch, Mark opened up a 150 square-foot store in the diamond district, allowing for The M Jewelers to be sold both through brick and mortar and E-commerce. Through his success with The M Jewelers, Mark was named Forbes 30 under 30 for the Art and Style category in 2019.The M Jewelers can be found at: https://themjewelersny.com/ Follow Starting Small:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startingsmallpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Startingsmallpod/?modal=admin_todo_tourLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/cameronnagle

Mark Shami is the founder and CEO of The M Jewelers, co-founder of SHAMI OFFICIAL and LAVAL, and an all-around hustler. Mark grew up in a family of jewelers learning how to cast and make jewelry as a kid in his grandpa’s studio. He spent his 20s touring the country with his band. He stepped away from the stage in 2014 to start his own company with a focus on customizable jewelry. He got his start on Instagram, finding influencers to send free pieces to in exchange for a post. He put every cent of profit back into social and retargeting with an uncompromising belief that it would help build his business. 5 years later and he’s been featured on Forbes 30 under 30, he's built his Instagram following to 1 million, broke 1MM in revenue and has gained profitability. Brian and Mark discuss the importance of hard work and belief in your product as well as retargeting strategies. Mark’s story is inspiring for entrepreneurs at any stage of their business.
