In her twenties, Lisa Kline was one of the most
successful retailers in Los Angeles, with a store favored by the
biggest celebrities of the day on swanky Robertson Boulevard. With
each passing year, the business only grew—growth based on Lisa's
uncanny ability to discover little known brands with huge
potential. She ultimately owned and operated five trendy boutiques
and a budding on-line business. Beginning in 2007 though–everything
started to spiral: the writer's strike put a kibosh on spending,
the recession hit and then something much worse. In 2009, Lisa’s
husband died in an accident. Overnight, Lisa lost her identity. In
this episode, the mother of two shares the story of how she climbed
back…. personally and professionally. Hear how she took her skills
as a brick and mortar-oriented entrepreneur and highly skilled
curator of retail goods and blended them together… ultimately
becoming a buyer for some of the most exclusive retail outlets in
the world.
