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:

  • How to recognize (and claim) your passion project
  • What an entrepreneur is (from an entrepreneur)
  • Why acknowledging those who helped your vision happen is part of success
  • How research is important in following your dreams
  • Why resources are closer than you think when you’re willing to keep working
  • Why fun is always a necessary part of the story
