  • 040: Step Away from Limiting Beliefs and Commit to Your Business Dreams with Nik Kacy, Founder of Nik Kacy Footwear
    NiK Kacy Footwear is a fashion line inspired by the needs of both its
    founder and the larger LGBTQ community. NiK Kacy, who identifies as
    gender-fluid, queer and trans, designed their first collection of
    "masculine of center," gender-neutral shoes in order to provide a solution
    for the on-going problem of individuals unable to purchase men's styled
    shoes due to limitations in sizing set by the shoe industry based on
    gender. Their first collection, named "Fortune," consists of 5 classically
    masculine looking styles, now modernized with colorful contrasts and
    re-proportioned to fit those who identify in whatever spirit they deem fit.
