On this episode, we dive into how Kalilah Wright – Founder and CEO of Mess In A Bottle embraced the power of  innovation and the pivot in her career and business.

An early lover of the arts and all things creative, Kalilah received her Bachelors of Arts from Penn State University and Masters degree from Morgan State University. She was an accomplished designer and trained architect working for Under Armor when she realized that this “idea” she had for a business could be something more than just a “dream” but a reality.

Did it make sense for someone who was working at an applauded company to quit and pursue entrepreneurship full-time?

Better yet – did it make sense to quit a job as an architect to sell t-shirts?

For, Kalilah it made a whole lot of sense.

In January 2016, Mess in a Bottle launched. The company sells creative messages written t-shirts and packaged in reusable bottles.  The brand was established to evoke change, question Kalilah’s audience and allow individuals wearing their messages to be vocal without saying anything at all. Each item is designed and printed at her Baltimore in-house studio space.

Kalilah shares her #dreamdriving journey – bringing us along for the challenges, successes, and learning moments along the way.

Some of the topics we also discuss include:
– What inspired Kalilah as a child
– How Mess In A Bottle started
– 3 Ways To Build A Great Team
– The importance of the pivot
– Tips for succeeding in eCommerce and building a team
– The importance of being innovative
