Quitting Your Day Job to Pursue Your Dream Job, with Ashley Wilson of Everest and Co Boutique

Episode Summary

Ashley Wilson is the girlboss behind the online women's clothing boutique, Everest & Co. After studying film in LA, Ashley moved to Nashville, TN in search of living out her creative passion. Once in Nashville, she studied Music Business and started working at Universal Music Group. What seemed like a dream job, wasn't quite fulfilling Ashley's desire to create and run her own business. That's when the idea of Everest & Co. came to life. Ashley says it best, "Everest & Co. was dreamt up from a cubicle in a glass high-rise building in Nashville, TN. We are here to make you feel your best, simple as that. Let’s be real though…not everything looks great on everyone and that’s okay! Embrace it. We are here to make you feel good and find the perfect clothes for you. We want you to get that job, find the love of your life, and run the world in our clothes. All eyes will and should be on you. Because #LifeAtTheTop is just so much more fun." With a #LifeAtTheTop, her goal is to celebrate every aspect of a women's life, especially those mountain top moments! In this episode, you will learn how to narrow your target audience when you're in the beginning stages of building a brand, balancing working full time while creating a business on the side, the millennial mindset about the corporate world, and how to have those difficult conversations that will get you closer to your dreams.
