In today’s episode of Pretty Powerful, I finished up one of my favorite interviews to date with Dara Buczynsky, the owner of Epiphany which is a stunning 4,000 square foot clothing and home boutique here in Athens GA. In our discussion in part 1 we got into Dara’s amazing backstory and how a mission trip to Ukraine pretty much changed her life forever and ultimately became part of her business model. And in this episode she continues to explain how her purpose of giving back to local and international charities through each sale made in her store fulfills her more than she could have ever known.
In this part two of two, we dive more into what it takes to run a successful online and brick and mortar business, the ins and outs, ups and downs, and why she thinks you should not be afraid to go ALL IN when starting your own business. Dara also gives her thoughts on the secret sauce behind how her store continues to thrive in such a difficult space such as retail. Hint, it’s NOT the things sold in the store.
