It started with a sock. A turtle sock. That led to a Shopify store, a wholesale boom, and—accidentally—an agency. In this episode, Lucy Jeffrey shares how she turned Bare Kind from a seasonal side hustle into one of Faire’s fastest-growing brands. She walks us through surviving seasonality, scaling through B2B, ditching paid ads, and launching a service business that helps other brands win on Faire. A story about survival, strategy, and what happens when your Q4 makes or breaks you.

Topics Discussed:

  • Growing a DTC sock brand from scratch
  • Why Faire became a game changer
  • Turning content into a client acquisition machine
  • Balancing two businesses and one marriage
  • Why sustainability isn’t selling anymore—and what is
  • Turning off Meta ads (and doing better without them)
