Are you feeling like growth in your jewelry business is slower than it "should" be? Or wondering why scaling feels so overwhelming when you're already at capacity? In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Hunt, founder of Proof to Product and creator of the 2025 State of the Product Industry Report, to break down the data and the mindset shifts that separate the businesses that thrive from those that stall out.

We talk about what really happens when you cross that first $100K in revenue, how to scale without losing your life to your business, and why outsourcing isn't just for "big" brands. Katie shares insights from over 30,000 product-based founders, giving you permission to grow in a way that actually works for your life, your goals, and your season of business. If you've been craving clarity, strategy, and a little extra grit to move forward, this conversation is packed with it.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. Why hitting your first $100K is the hardest and what changes after you do
2. How scaling can actually give you more time freedom, not less
3. The hybrid production model successful brands are using to grow sustainably
4. Practical outsourcing tips to protect your energy and your profits

Topics Discussed:

• Key findings from the 2025 State of the Product Industry Report
• Common traits of brands that surpass the $100K mark
• Scaling myths that keep founders stuck at capacity
• How hybrid production works for jewelry businesses
• The first tasks to outsource for more time and profit
• Protecting mental health and avoiding burnout while growing
