Big thanks to Jess Cervellon and Dillon Duchesne for putting together an impactful ecom event at Soho House Chicago yesterday! I enjoyed sharing the scrappy and bootstrapped journey behind FAT MIILK COFFEE.

Yesterday, was a DREAM! Dillon Duchesne and I hosted the first Midcoast Ecom Spark. A FULL day summit focused on #retention and bringing the #chicago ecom community together.
Dill and I set out to craft an event that was not only meaningful, but an event that highlighted the Chicago community. We see so many rad events in other cities, but Chi is usually forgotten...and we are changing that!
From the first panel of the day with Alexandria Moore of CurlMix and Elizabeth Morris of Bobbie sharing community building tactics to Tiffany Krumins sharing her Sharktank story and how she got to 'Opu Probiotics to Sam Gilmack of Local Eclectic sharing their story on gaining traction through organic social to Lan Ho sharing FAT MIILK COFFEE's journey and re-branding to Samantha Mui of Thirsty Dumpling demo'ing her newly launched subscription product to all of the other meaningful and engaging panels of the day. This day was filled with so many good learnings and so many great people that I am not able to fully tag!
