Kalyn Johnson Chandler: Brave Enough To Pivot

DSC_9345.jpg

The truth about the hustle is... It’s a daily grind.

Today I'm chatting with Kalyn Johnson, Creative Founder of Effie’s Paper, Stationery and Whatnot. Kalyn created Effie’s paper as an ode to her grandmother’s legacy who passed on her love of stationery to Kalyn during her childhood. Before Kalyn chose to listen to life’s nudges of opening  Effie’s Paper, she worked in law for 10 years. Followed by a career as a Personal Fashion Stylist for television news anchors, attorneys and physicians. Listen in as we discuss the importance of having peers and friends in your corner, being brave enough to pivot and the reason why you need to hire a coach from the onset of your business.

The Real Deal Behind The Hustle

  • Go to song before a meeting: Get Right, Jennifer Lopez Show me What You Got, JayZ

  • Mantra: “You didn’t come this far, Just to come this far”

  • Must have business app: Dropbox

  • Book that every Girl Behind The Hustle should read: E Myth Mastery, Michael E. Gerber

Kalyn is a co-author of the cult classic, The BAP Handbook :: The Official Guide to the Black  American Princess and she’s an alum of The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program.  Kalyn lives in New York city with her husband and holds a BA in English and a Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan and an MA in Public Policy Studies from the University of Chicago.
