Get Enlightened: How Marie McCarthy Built a 7-Figure Jewelry Business On Her Own Terms

Business can be heavy. But this week, the Spirit of 608 is all about bringing the light. Just look at our guest's brand name for starters. Next, consider how this female founder went from a bad situation with a former business partner to owning her own space, expanding into a second business and, fast forward to today, occupying a beautiful gallery of a shop in one of San Francisco's most popular neighborhoods all while maintaining a robust online business followed by a legion of loyal Instagram fans. Side note: this isn't something she's done alone. There's her husband and co-founder, as well as a longstanding team -- and they've been by her side since the early days. 

Listen to the show for her story and how she's making fine jewelry for people who go beyond the pearl. Use this conversation for inspiration on your own journey toward building a business that's you, through and through.

Meet this week's guest, Maria McCarthy, founder of Fiat Lux.
