Podcast Summary

Is entrepreneurship more about the idea or the execution? If you ask Angie Stocklin, it’s all about the execution. For over a decade, Angie and the team at One Click Ventures focused on flawless execution, which led to their successful acquisition by Foster Grant in 2018. In today’s show, we sit down with Angie to discuss her journey with One Click, her continuous contributions to the entrepreneurial community, and how she has sculpted a new identity since their exit. Angie Stocklin was the COO and Co-Founder of One Click, a Greenwood, Indiana-based company that owned three different eyewear brands.

She emphasizes the importance of these traits and believes they can be cultivated through experiences and challenges. Angie also discusses the significance of community connection for entrepreneurs, encouraging them to reach out for support and learning. Furthermore, she opens up about the identity crisis that often follows selling a business, offering advice to other founders to take time for reflection and exploration before diving into their next venture. Tune in to gain insights on finding a niche, balancing life and work, brand building, customer support, and the critical role of execution over ideas.
