It's not every day that I get to have an actual genius here on the podcast. On today's episode, we're gonna be talking with a genius. The Inventory Genius. Her name is Ciara Stockeland, and she is the textbook example of a serial entrepreneur.

She's been owning and operating businesses since her early teens. She started her first real store in 2006, which of course, she then turned into a franchise. That experience in retail and wholesale led her to launch the first to market subscription box for boutique store owners. She built this business and sold it within 18 months, and she was just getting started.

Most recently, a few years ago, Ciara launched The Inventory Genius. It's a coaching program for inventory based business owners. In that program, Ciara strives to motivate business owners to build profitability and peace of mind into their businesses. 

Get ready for more of her high-performing and fascinating story, as well as who and how she helps become geniuses with their own inventory and more. I think you're gonna enjoy this episode.
