Anna Brozek was recently named CEO of Big Cartel, the leading independent platform that's helped enable more than 1 million artists and makers sell over $3 billion of their work directly to consumers via easy to open online shops. Since its inception in 2005, the independently run company has been instrumental in empowering talented artisans to do what they love.

Anna and I discuss her roots of owning an indie record shop with her husband, and her rise to the C-suite.

This is an inspiring conversation for anyone who's dreamed of working their way to the top with an amazing company.

So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation with Anna Brozek.
