Finally, we chat with Chrissy Weems, the visionary Co-Founder and CEO of Origami Owl (now Think Goodness)! Chrissy shares the inspiring origin story of Origami Owl, which began when her then fourteen-year-old daughter, Bella, wanted a car. What started as Bella selling custom lockets to friends and family from a home party and local mall kiosk quickly grew into a significant force in the social selling arena. Chrissy, a mother of five and married for over 25 years, continues to create artistic designs and new ideas for the business.
