Real talk on business boundaries, burnout, and growth
About Jamie Keane:Jamie is the founder of Julip, a website-in-bio platform built for creators and solopreneurs who’ve outgrown fragmented tools like Linktree, Canva, or Wix. Julip helps you launch a professional site in minutes and show clients exactly how you deliver results, all in one cohesive space.
When she’s not building the future of creator websites, Jamie’s probably working to her early-2000s playlist (think Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and *NSYNC) or hanging out with her husband, Pat, and their rescue dog, Lucy.
She’s passionate about helping founders create authentic content for their brands, because visibility isn’t optional anymore.
