In this behind-the-scenes episode of The Business of Apparel, Rachel is pulling back the curtain on a major transition at Unmarked Street. After losing two of our top-paying clients, months earlier than expected, we’re doubling down on what lights us up: building our annual membership community. Rachel walks you through the mindset shift, the tough team conversations, and the intentional reallocation of resources as we align our entire company around serving startup and plateaued apparel brands through our advisory membership.

You'll hear the raw truth about navigating financial uncertainty, why we believe in coaching even in a down economy, and how we’re strategically planning around best-case, worst-case, and realistic cashflow scenarios. If you’ve ever had to pivot hard in your business or felt the emotional weight of leadership, this episode offers both transparency and real-time advice to help you weather those moments.
