Description
Raise your hand if you've ever been told you can't do something because you're a girl? *hands raise over here - hello* Well, this week's guest was sent that message year after year as a boxer, being told she was "too pretty" for the sport (surprise, surprise for them after she would take her first swing). Now, years into the sport and owner of The Stables boxing studio in Santa Monica, Cary Williams is on a mission to counter that message, and spread the good gospel that you are never "too pretty" to do anything you want. Tune in this week as Cary shares... How the Too Pretty Brand came about years of facing people telling her she was "too pretty" to be a boxer, and after noticing young girls she was coaching trying to dress less like a girl in order to be taken seriously. The evolution of the Brand over the past five years from an idea to a clothing brand to a movement The doubts she had in the beginning of her business, and how she stays true to her vision for the brand regardless of what others say Why she started a Kickstarter campaign, and how you can support the Movement How she supports herself financially and how she balances her time between the Too Pretty Brand and her boxing studio Advice to aspiring business owners For full show notes + links to resources visit: www.thebigleapshow.com/episode019/
