Breaking Retail Investing Norms
Have you ever wondered what it takes to turn a personal struggle into a thriving business? In this episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast, Marcia discusses with Vicky and Charisse Pasche their entrepreneurial journey, which transformed their frustration with ill-fitting fashion into the revolutionary brand Dapper Boi.
Vicky Pasche, with a background in casino marketing, and Charisse Pasche, with experience in higher education and sales, founded Dapper Boi—a brand that defies traditional fashion norms and prioritizes fit and function over gender. Dapper Boi was conceived from Vicky's personal struggle with finding clothes that fit her body comfortably and stylishly. The couple’s commitment to solving this issue was so strong that they even launched the business during their honeymoon, turning their initial business idea into their "first baby."
In this episode, listeners will hear about the inception of Dapper Boi, from the initial concept to its growth, fueled by a strong sense of community and inclusive marketing. Vicky and Charisse talk about their journey of appearing on Shark Tank, managing inventory in a startup, and the emotional stories from their customers whose lives have been changed by their products. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, fashion, and the power of inclusivity. It stands as a testament to how dedication, creativity, and genuine connection with customers can build not just a brand but a movement.
