Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast this week. I'm excited about this behind the scenes episode

with a long time member of the boutique of Jody Stevens, the owner and founder of Bless

Your Heart Boutique. Together this week, we're going to talk about her storefront in North

Carolina and specifically how she's made Small Business Saturday, one of her biggest days of the year.

Now, knowing Jody for a long time, I know that events are her superpower.

So we're going to break down how she plans events, how she manages the ROI for events,

and what you can do to set your sites far in advance to make sure your event is successful as possible.

Jody is as real and as genuine and as humble as they come.

So I'm so excited for you to get this behind the scenes look at her business.

Please welcome my friend Jody Stevens, the founder of Bless Your Heart Boutique.

Let's talk about your business, strategy, and the juicy details of what actually works,

from mainstream fashion to fashion on Main Street and the entire ecosystem behind it.

How do we scale your company and do it with the balance and the happiness that we all seek?

Let's hear from those insiders, experts, and strategists that

actually make it happen. I'm your host, Ashley Alderson from the boutique hub, and I can't wait to chat.

All right, guys, welcome back to the podcast this week.

I am so pumped because this is an OG podcast treat right now.
