In this honest and inspiring conversation, I’m joined by Julie Cole, co-founder of Mabel’s Labels, bestselling author, speaker, and proud mom of six. Julie shares her journey from making labels in her basement to becoming the face of a beloved multi-million dollar brand, even after selling the business.
We talk about what it really looks like to sell your company and stay on board, the power of personal branding, not just for founders and visible leaders, but for every team member representing your company, and why your team’s alignment with your values matters more than ever. Julie gets real about how her personal brand helped build trust and drive growth, and why it’s so important for founders to separate who they are from what they’ve built.
We also dive into the balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship, the choices and sacrifices that come with both, and how creating independence at home shaped how she leads her team.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens after the exit, or how to show up authentically as a leader, this one’s for you.
