Manage episode 491940931 series 3579028
Today I am joined by Karly Barker. Karly is a Mom of four, a wife, a former tv anchor, a believer and now the founder of courtside kids an activewear brand specifically designed for the most active people in the world - kids. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Karly is originally from southern Utah where she gained a love for creating fashion of her own at a young age. She and her husband met at Brigham Young University after which Karly had a brief but wild career in broadcast news, interning at the Today Show and anchoring two shows before moving her family across the country, planting roots in the South and becoming a stay at home mom. She launched courtside kids in 2022 which has seen incredible year over year growth, launched on Nordstrom.com and is nearly 60 retailers nationwide. While Karly loves a beautiful fashion collection she is also a realistic Mom of four who is an open book about lifes challenges, can't seem to ever complete a load of laundry and claims to be a hot mess in a dress. Welcome to the show, Karly!
