    I’m not a product founder, but as a PR Coach for product founders, many in retail, I am always looking for resources to recommend them, and women leaders in the Ecom space to support! Emily has such high energy and you can feel her support for your journey radiating through these episodes! Authentic, inspiring, informative, actionable, checks all the boxes! @gloriachoupr

    No actual info
    I just listened to one of the eps and I feel as if there was no value given. She didn’t explain how. It was just a pitch to her course. And I’m sorry for me to give in to a course, I need to hear actual value.

    I’ve always said Lex deserves everything she has!
    The nicest person who has gone through the things we are going through too! Lex is like your BFF/Sister who just loves you no matter what. Mom, business, self care, innovator, designer… hearing Lex’s true self shine in this podcast is the new best part of my week.

    I just started listening and she is super informative. I am a stay at home mom who is about to open an online boutique, so I’m constantly listening when I’m cleaning and cooking. Thank you for the information!

    The best advice you’ll receive
    I’ve been listening to all of your podcasts and woman you are so knowledgeable! I was in retail management for 25 years and am considering opening a boutique. With your podcasts I have been enlightened and educated and can make an informed decision. Out of 8 boutique apps I downloaded today, 4 have not posted in months if ever, 2 were no longer in biz and 2 I’m following as they are awesome. If that’s what I decide to do, I am def enrolling in boot camp! Keep it up!!

    LOVE IT!!
    I feel so fortunate that my daughters and I discovered Emily early on in our boutique journey!! LOVE the podcasts and the book! She has been single handily the MOST informative and inspiring podcast we have found. We even enjoy re-listening to some after each “step” we take. ❤️
  • L. Sexton
    Inspiring!
    I found Emily’s Podcast one day driving home from work and I’ve been hooked ever since! I could listen to her all day- in fact I “binged” and listened several hours of her earlier Podcasts because they are still so relevant.
  • Victoria's Vibe
    Must listen
    Emily gives so many good tips for FREE in this podcast. It’s a must listen if you’re just starting out. Go to her first episode and start there. Grab a notepad and keep up.

    The best!
    I started my journey with Emily a little over a year ago when I launched my online store! Over the last 18 months with her podcasts, YouTube channel, Boutique Basics and Six Figure Blueprint i was able to open my brick and mortar and know that I have a community I’m surrounded by! ❤️

  • frillos
    You might like it
    I think this is a good podcast if you’re just starting a boutique but the use of “like, totally, um, so, ‘you know what I mean” language takes away some credibility. I know Emily means well but she can be a little condescending and that is frustrating. It’s got potential and worth a listen if you’re just starting out.
  • Missions Boutique
    This is THE BEST podcast for boutique owners. PERIOD.
    Emily is knowledgeable about all things retail and all things boutique. She gives so much valuable information in each and every podcast for FREE. Her passion for helping women run a successful retail business is genuine and shines through in everything that she does. Emily is high energy and each episode is interesting and easy to listen to. She puts he information out in a way that is easy to understand and provides helpful notes to follow along sometimes. She is just amazing and I am so very thankful that I found her as early as I did in my boutique journey. She offers paid courses and help as well that I cannot wait to take advantage ok. Emily just rocks. That’s it!
  • Fawn Winchester
    One of my faves
    I listen to a lot of podcasts. This one is probably my favorite! I’m obsessed with Emily, her story, and the amazing information she shares for FREE. Sometimes I even go back to old episodes and re-listen to them and take notes because she is so helpful and wise. Thank you, Emily for helping the boutique community thrive!
  • Montere55
    good, but
    Emily does have some great advice to offer, but it’s insanely hard to decipher through all the filler words “like um so yeah etc” and vocal fry. She also has a tendency to come of condescending at times. The sound quality of the intro & outro drive me INSANE. This podcast has a lot of potential but it’s just not quite there
  • babyboytique
    Really great info, needs help with filler words.
    Super, super, great and helpful podcast! Love all the info, only drawback is it is highly annoying to hear “like” and “so” used over and over again. Every sentence has the word “like” used about twenty times.
  • iraidaxmi
    AMAZING!!
    Where has Emily Benson been my entire life? She’s my mentor, coach, business bestie and the list goes on and on! Just found this podcast from a Facebook ad and I’m HOOKED!!! Launching in November and I feel great with the valuable information and tools that she makes accesible through her podcast & Facebook group. I’m looking forward to taking the boutique boot camp in August and much more.
  • The1thatisawesome
    Not just for boutique owners

    Best podcast Ever!
    I have been listening to Emily for quite some time. I have learned so much from the podcasts that I have also taken a few of her amazing courses. I started my boutique 30 years ago with my mom but have been the sole owner for the past 5 years. I love that I am still learning, refining and growing my beautiful boutique business with Emily’s help.
  • Frayla Boutique
    Morning routine
    I go in an hour early to my shop put my earphones in and listen to an Emily podcast while walking around my boutique. A great way to start each day with a positive mindset! So glad I found a friend in boutique land.
