The Feel Good Galaxy (previously Retail For The Rest Of Us)

Meet Jennie Lennick, founder of Jenny Lemons - a vibrant accessory and colorful lifestyle brand based in San Francisco. Jennie is proof that artists make great strategists and our conversation was a potent reminder that focus can radically transform your business.

Our chat covers:

• how her traditional art background led her to open a retail business
• what it looks like to accept help and delegate in order to get to the next stage of business
• reconnecting to your original vision and re-centering post-pandemic
• how Jennie’s word of the year - ‘focus’ - has helped her accelerate the shop’s growth. You won’t believe the results!

Jennie Lennick is the founder and creative force behind Jenny Lemons, a vibrant accessory and colorful lifestyle brand. Jennie founded her business in 2015 as an extension of her art practice, in which she created collections of clothing, accessories, and art kits featuring her playful illustrations of food. A couple of years later, she opened her first retail store in the Mission District of San Francisco. Her shop is a community space where she designs and sells her products and showcases them alongside a curated selection of other handmade goods, craft kits, and art supplies. Jennie is passionate about encouraging her community to create things by hand and live a colorful, creative life.

Tune in for my take on what sustainability means for small businesses, how we can work more like nature, and why working on your shop (versus in the shop) will help you find your focus.
