Working at 14, but forbidden from going to college\\u2026 from drilling in a warehouse to becoming a fashion executive - What A Story!

 

Jill says that she just tried things. She took on the family label for her - Firecracker - and forged into the world. 

Drawing on courage and tenacity, Jill embraced the New. And we can all learn from her.

 

She saw beyond the tradition of the industry and wanted to help create clothing for \\u201creal sized women\\u201d to inspire confidence. Her \\u201cI\\u2019ll show you\\u201d attitude led her to the top as she continues to focus on how to accentuate the positive.

 

Jill says that doing so inspires trust and that leads to shared stories and that creates true connection. That\\u2019s how she runs Frox, her specialty clothing shop. 

 

On the podcast and in her book, Behind the Button, she talks about how putting cloth in a dye bath changes it and strengthens it. And it\\u2019s that process from which her strongest metaphors blossom.

 

Listen in! \\u201cIt\\u2019s all about connection and empowerment!\\u201d
