Welcome back to Raw Intentions Podcast. On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the founder & CEO of booming wholesale jewelry brand, Alco Jewelry, Megan Suttle. Megan unofficially began her journey with her jewels in 2020. She worked as a hairstylist at a salon and began making jewelry as a creative outlet to sell to her hair clients. What began as a small side hustle, was made into an official business and full-time job in 2021, and Alco was born. Alco was created to fill a gap Megan found in the market. Affordable, unique pieces that are truly water resistant. A water baby to her core, she found herself continuously frustrated with rings turning her fingers green after being worn in the water. Clearly, she was not alone in that want, as her shop has skyrocketed since launching. In just 3 years, from making jewelry herself in her bedroom, she now has an office space, a renovated VW van, many employees, and dream clients. Megan shares her secrets to success, mistakes she’s made, and what she learned from them, hiring and managing employees, staying unique, and utilizing social media and in-person markets to grow. We relate to the many woes of being a 28-year-old business owner, and the ways she’s attempting to work through those hardships. She also talks about the struggles of making friends in a new city, loneliness, relationship advice, and her love of fitness. Excited for this episode, and so thankful for these conversations.
