ENTREPRENEURIAL STORY
In Kim's perspective, There are two types of kids: one who sells candy in the back of the bus and one who purchases candy. She was the purchaser. While she is now an entrepreneur working with everyone from Oprah and Paul McCartney to the NY Mets and Live Nation, she was not born with it.
She was not hustling candy in the back of the bus, growing her neighborhood lawn mowing conglomerate, regulating a pyramid of fellow babysitters and she never once had a lemonade stand. She was not the type who grew up saying, she is going to have her own business. She is an accidental entrepreneur.
Her first startup was The Superfan company/ZinePak. She took off like a rocket ship. She spent 9 years working with people and companies she had only dreamed of from KISS and Katy Perry to the Red Sox and Ace Comic-Con, all while winning awards and accolades such as Forbes 30 Under 30 and Inc's 35 Under 35 and receiving one of the highest seasons offers on season 5 of Shark Tank.
In these pinch-me-moments, she quickly realized 3 things that kept her in these magical rooms: her reputation, her network, and good old-fashioned bright ideas.
