In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with Kristin Kiseljack, founder of Ida Mae Home, to talk about her journey from corporate retail buyer to building a business rooted in heritage, creativity, and American manufacturing. Kristin shares how she got her start working in global retail and import production, and how the challenges of that industry ultimately led her to bring production back to Texas. We talk about what it really looks like to build a product-based business, from managing supply chain chaos to trusting your instincts when creating something new.We also dive into the creative side of the business, including where she finds inspiration and how trends start. This conversation is all about building something meaningful, staying adaptable, and creating products that connect with people on a deeper level.Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!Connect with Kristin:Visit Ida Mae HomeFollow on Instagram @idamaehomeConnect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteResources & Links:Tony LamaSavannah 7’sMaverick Fine Western WearTeskey’sCavender’sDillard’sJoin The Directory Of The WestGet our FREE resource for Writing a Strong Job DescriptionGet our FREE resource for Making the Most of Your InternshipGet our FREE resource: 10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)Get our FREE resource: How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers MakeEmail us at [email protected] to Of The West's ⁠NewslettersList your jobs on ⁠Of The WestMentioned in this episode:Click below to see Open Jobs on Of The West Open Jobs on Of The West
