Brooke Gordon's brand, Beetroot, was born out of her journey to wellness and her passion for sharing healthy recipes. Her grassroots efforts like sharing healthy treats with friends, hosting a farm-to-table event at a local farm, bringing a farmer's market to downtown Defiance, Ohio, and hosting multiple educational events have led to her being a well-respected resource on holistic wellness. Brooke's family comes first, and her business has been built around her life (not the other way around). I admire her ability to execute different business strategies while her brand stays consistent, and becomes more rooted in Northwest Ohio.

Reselling and a Pandemic Pivot with Carla Morris
In this episode, I sat down with Carla Morris, owner of The Frugal Hanger, and chatted about her decision to pivot from her career as a hairstylist to a full-time reseller of clothing and accessories.
We chat about tricks to her trade, selling on Instagram, and what’s next for her business.
Since she graduated high school, she has been behind the chair in the salon. Coming from a long line of antique dealers, she has sold her own second-hand finds on eBay and Instagram for many years. When Covid hit, she wasn’t sure when she would be able to open her salon again, and coupled with salon burnout, she took it as a sign to go full-time reselling clothing and accessories from the ’50s to the '90s.
