196: How One Mom Built a Thriving Business From Thrifted Finds with Whitney

What do you get when you mix a registered nurse, a passion for antiques, and a killer instinct for business? Meet Whitney Conard, founder of Conard & Co (formerly "Thrifty Whitney"), sharing her journey from estate sales to international sourcing, and building a serious vintage empire.    SHOW NOTES: Whitney started with a $300 goal—and built a thriving vintage business. How her rebrand to Conard & Co reflects her elevated vision and growth. How social media helped launch her business, but real success came from diversification. Why confidence in pricing is crucial—your items (and your time!) are worth it. She sources antiques from English Victorian dump sites—yes, really. She built her brand by learning, adapting, and staying endlessly curious.
