In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Mullenger, founder of Petite Keep, to talk about how she turned a sentimental idea into a fast-growing and customer-obsessed brand while navigating Shark Tank, opening her own warehouse, and raising five kids under eight. Lindsay shares how she bootstrapped Petite Keep with $3,000, used influencer marketing the right way, and built a team anchored in core values. We talk about building during busy seasons, meeting your customer where she is, and staying resilient when curveballs hit. Get ready to fall in love with brand building, do more with less, and create products that last for generations.
