Carlie Christenson said YES to entrepreneurship at the age of nine! A Neptune Beach, Florida native, Carlie is quick to acknowledge her Mom and Dad for their early support in her young vision. She was the pulse that drove an idea into a product that now sells coast to coast AND just made its way into partnership on internationally recognized Spanx’s website! Boob-eez — nipple covers, stick on bras and seamless layers for women of all ages — was a little girl’s idea to solve a problem. Little did she know that problems would be solved and a business would bloom along her own blossoming. Now, 14 years in the making, Carlie is passionate and shares a mature and professional perspective that far exceeds her 24 years of life. While she’s clearly a great businesswoman, it’s her attitude we can all learn from. 

In this conversation you’ll hear:
