    Came for Chase Clymers episode and stayed for more! I’m not a product founder, but as a PR Coach for product founders, many in retail, I am always looking for resources to recommend them, and women leaders in the Ecom space to support! Whether you want quick value packed episodes, or longer more in depth training and interviews, you’ll find it all here! Salenas energy is so warm and engaging too! Highly recommend!

  • Great podcast!

    I found Selena Knight's "Bringing Business to Retail" podcast both enjoyable and enlightening. Her extensive experience as a retail growth strategist and successful store owner shone through in the episode I heard. What particularly struck me was the discussion of the "theory of constraints," a concept crucial for scaling businesses by emphasizing the importance of identifying and addressing bottlenecks in retail operations.
