Episode 31: YouTube Stars, Lost Shoes, and Beanie Babies: Meet Kate

Meet Kate of Undone by Kate.  Before the pandemic, she was a stylist, both for ecomm (meaning, the imagery you see on websites and in digital marketing) and for celebrities.  Now she has her own business selling one-of-a-kind reworked vintage.   We’ll be talking about what a stylist does...you probably won’t be surprised to hear that it’s a lot more than just picking out clothes! And then we’ll talk about her transition into entrepreneur!  It’s a great story, and maybe it will inspire some of you to follow your dream, even if 2020 seems like the worst possible time to do it!

The episode starts with a conversation about collecting, including hotline messages from Elena, Dakota, and Jenny.   We also have a letter with some sustainable kids' clothing suggestions from Maggie.
