In this episode titled "Bootstrapping A New Business Idea", we chat with Kaylin Marcotte, Founder and CEO of JIGGY Puzzles. Kaylin shares her experience working at the startup level with The Skimm, developing her idea for an elevated puzzle experience, and tips learned along the way for anyone who wants to take an idea and turn it into a reality.

In 2014, Kaylin Marcotte was working around the clock at a fast-paced startup and fell in love with puzzles as her nightly meditation. Burning through a puzzle a week, she grew tired of the outdated and uninspired designs. She dreamed up a puzzle that would be as beautiful as it was therapeutic. Five years later, JIGGY was launched with a vision to bring that same puzzle joy and relaxation to the world. The mission behind JIGGY is to reconnect people with both mindfulness and art; in the process, they're building a community centered on social impact and holistic health, all while supporting and amplifying emerging female creatives around the world. JIGGY aims to inspire others to unplug and experience art in a whole new way - one piece at a time.
