In this episode, we’re tackling one of the most frequently asked questions from growing boutique owners: how do you work with your spouse? To help us answer this question, we’ve brought in two of our favorite people and an amazing couple, Anthony and Amy Ekren of Inherit Clothing Co. Not only will they share their experiences of working together, but they’ll also dive into how they have successfully scaled their business by maximizing systems, processes, and the love languages of their team members. Join us as we learn how they’ve built a thriving business and a culture we can all admire.
Anthony and Amy take us through their non-traditional journey into the boutique world as they took the leap of purchasing and scaling an existing business. They give us a unique inside view of what it’s like to work together as a husband and wife couple in the business world and share their experiences of growing this awesome business from the ground up. You’ll also hear about the unglamorous side of it all, what systems and processes have helped them along the way, and how they really made this brand their own.
