Hey Rebels! Today we are bringing you a throwback episode and one of our faves. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support of our podcast!
In this episode Caroline and Kelly talk all about the importance of giving back. This is actually how Caroline and Kelly met! Kelly and Caroline talk about how important giving back is to them and their biz. Kelly wanted to continue her love and passion for teaching. By giving to Pencils of Promise each month she is working towards building a school! Caroline continues her passion by giving to a non profit organizations. Her inner hippy came out after her Colorado trip. After her trip she decided to use recycled paper and products for her biz and she wanted to plant trees. Now her donations go toward an organization that plants trees and educates people for “green jobs.” There is also an option of adding planting a tree at checkout when you shop with Caroline!
Ways to Give Back:
Recycle your materials you use to produce your products or use in your office
Volunteer in your community
Donating items for various causes/events
Being a mentor
Give back at what you are good at-business specific-get creative
Quote Love From Kelly & Caroline:
You don’t have to give away the farm -Kelly
You are doing more than someone who is doing nothing -Kelly
It makes a difference when you are doing something you love -Caroline
When you give back, you are in total control -Caroline
I was single handedly killing all the trees -Caroline

Hey Rebels!
Today we totally geeked out with Jordan Ellis from Jordandené. Jordandené is a Brooklyn-based, woman-owned, small business. Their casually geeky apparel and home goods are subtle enough to actually be used in everyday life. Their design team uses traditional ink and brush techniques to create unique, hand-lettered designs. They choose messages that both strike a chord with hardcore fans and promote positive messages to everyone who sees them.
This episode was fun and inspiring! We chat about finding your niche,, Comic Con, and working with her equally creative husband. This is a must listen!
