In episode 56 of the "Chats with Clark" Podcast, Jackie Wachter, cofounder and creative director of FOUNT, joins the show to share great wisdom and inspirational stories.
Despite what many may believe as the trend of today, in-person shopping is an immensely valuable asset for luxury brands like FOUNT. For Jackie, when opportunities arise, she takes the reins and rides them like a bull, hoping to stay on for the ride. Thus, FOUNT has taken the opportunity to expand its reach to stores across Cleveland, Columbus, and even down to Georgia and Texas.
Striving to develop heirloom bags, Jackie and the FOUNT team rely on the "fashion pyramid" of sorts to stay grounded in styles that are everlasting, while creating bags that have top-of-the-line quality.
As someone who fully loves her job, Jackie shares a story that causes her to become emotional when sharing about the sacrifices that goaded her to learn the work-life balance.
Through the highs and lows, Jackie has remained steadfast in her faith, which she notes as the anchor for her life. Recently, gratitude has overtaken Jackie and FOUNT, as they unveil a partnership with Korie Robertson of Duck Dynasty.
