TOPIC: From Product to Powerhouse: Building A Brand That Scales

LOCAL POWERHOUSE SPEAKER & FACILITATOR:

• Speaker: MJ Carlson, Founder & CEO, Electric Picks
• Facilitator: Penny Goffman, Community Connector & Founder, THATPENNY | CONNECT

Calling all women building the next must-have product - This POWERChat is for you! Forget the polished founder story, Electric Picks jewelry started at MJ Carlson’s dining room table in 2011. No viral launch. No massive team. No blueprint. Then Instagram Stories launched and everything changed. Electric Picks grew 400% in one year, more than the previous four years combined. Today, MJ leads a team of 25, ships nearly 200,000 DTC orders a year, and has built a brand sold by Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Amazon and beyond. But the numbers are only part of the story. We’re getting into what happens between the dining room table and the success story: the bets that paid off, the ones that didn’t, knowing when to pivot, hiring people and giving up control. We’ll talk about DTC vs. wholesale, creating a team and culture, and evolving as a CEO when the company outgrows the founder you once were. It’s an honest conversation about building something people actually want and having the guts to keep changing once it works.

Bonus: Shop our POWERPopup Holiday Market, featuring:

• Electric Picks Jewelry
• Becky Frank Designs
• SKIИSKI skincare
