Side Hustle Pro

Today we have another Side Hustle Spotlight episode and in the guest chair, we have Danielle Mull, a soon to be graduate of Emory University School of Law and the Founder of Marked By Mull. Marked by Mull provides beautiful, high-quality jewelry that is as versatile as the women who wear it.

Danielle founded Marked by Mull in June 2018 (yes, while in law school!), to give the everyday woman access to jewelry at affordable prices.

To her, Marked By Mull is for women who are doing the inner work and still showing up with confidence and style.

In today’s edition of Side Hustle Diaries, we will find out:

• How the heck Danielle is juggling law school with starting a business
• How she manages marketing, shipping, and customer service while being a student and a small business owner
• And how she plans to juggle her side hustle once she graduates law school
