My guest today is a marketer, lamp maker, and an entrepreneur. She spent the first part of her career in banking & finance, but like many of us, she wanted to do more meaningful work … and move from Australia to New York.

My guest turned a passion for making DIY lamps into a business in 2013, when she started I Like That Lamp.

Using her successes in the lamp business, she also started a marketing company called Bobsled Marketing, where she helps brands launch and optimize their products via the Amazon marketplace.

Now, let’s hack… Kiri Masters.
