Can you go from crafting at your kitchen table to a multi-million-dollar business?  As CEO, Holly Daniels Christensen has proved – yes!  Using grit and the actual sand beneath her toes, that’s exactly what this entrepreneur has done.

The founder of Dune Jewelry left home at 15 years old, and never looked back. She held a variety of jobs with stints as a zookeeper, pharmacy technician, promotional model, bartender, cellphone, car and cruise salesperson. She also spent 14 successful years as a top agent in Boston’s highly competitive real estate market. 

This unique bootstrap entrepreneur who proved she was unafraid of hard work was voted 2016 Woman-Owned Business of the Year for Massachusetts and New England by the Small Business Association (SBA). In 2018, Inc. magazine honored Dune Jewelry as No. 2590 on its 37th annual Inc. 5000 List which is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Currently, Dune Jewelry is the one-and-only experiential jewelry brand in the world.

Take a listen as Michelle & Holly talk about Holly’s multiple hustles that include running her retail boutiques, giving back to the community and writing a book. She is truly an inspiration and proof that continued hard work and perseverance is a direct path to success.
