Dealing with Changes with Ellen Hockley
Episode 09
Covid changed a lot of things for all of us.
Today I want to talk about those changes and how we can learn to pivot. I am talking with Ellen Hockley about how she had to make a big pivot in her business when Covid shut the world down.
Ellen is an entrepreneur, a mom, an outdoor enthusiast, a world traveler, and a creative. Ellen started Evergreen Activewear while she was pregnant with her son, during COVID as her previous business as an Event Planner was on a major pause. It has been an adventure to create an apparel company during a time filled with great supply chain shortages and shipping issues, but Ellen is making due!
Topics we cover
- How business had to change due to Covid
