18 Million Thanks with Juliana & Ryan Kissick, Good Juju Ink
Description
Hey friends! You're in for a fun episode today. I have Juliana and Ryan Kissick on the show to chat about their business, Good Juju Ink. Juliana founded Good Juju Ink in 2014 and the company is now run by herself, husband Ryan and their dear friend Marina Lieban.
The trio attended Paper Camp Conference in 2018 and it has been so much fun to watch their business blossom since. I was thrilled to talk to them in this episode about an amazing campaign they've been working on since the start of the pandemic called 18 Million Thanks.
You'll hear how they've incorporated a give-back program into their business model, their experience working with sales reps and the challenges they've faced as their business has grown. Juliana and Ryan share their perspectives on how they divide their responsibilities among each other and how you can get involved in their campaign to send handwritten thank-you notes to America's 18 million healthcare workers.
