Season 2, Episode 1; Intentional Influence Podcast: How Shoulder Pads Started an Empire: Interview with Shapewear Pioneer Kathleen Kirkwood      In this Intentional Influence Podcast episode, Melissa Murray talks with Kathleen Kirkwood, shapewear pioneer and founder of Kirkwood International Inc., the longest running private company vendor on QVC, about her entrepreneurial journey, reinvention, and breaking the glass ceiling. Kathleen Kirkwood, a former Ford model, began her entrepreneurial career in 1983 where she designed the original clip-on shoulder pad, Pints of Pads®. Pints of Pads® truly captured the 80s’ fascination with shoulder pads and soon Bloomingdale’s was offering Pints. When Oprah called to have Kathleen on the show to discuss women in business, business soared. Shortly thereafter QVC TV discovered Kathleen, where she boasts a 17-year track record of growth, new products, and millions of fans (QVC is seen in over 90 million homes in the United States.) Her status as the longest running private company vendor on QVC attracted the attention of CNBC and Kathleen was chosen for a reality segment on Squawk Box. Now almost 30 years later, Kathleen continues to revolutionize the shapewear industry with her innovative products, while also being a pioneer for women entrepreneurs. Kathleen was recently awarded the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certification and the Baldwin Humanitarian award for her Bra Recycling Agency (B.R.A.) initiative. In this episode, you’ll learn:  The importance of reinvention for entrepreneurs How to make millions with one great idea Why investing in one product, rather than a collection, can grow your business faster Why joint ventures and strategic alliances can help your cash flow Specific advice for approaching national companies within a large industry Why a design patent may be more beneficial than a patent How to avoid the “avalanche effect” with your products The importance of making your story easy to tell so the media continues to call How investment pieces in your wardrobe can boost on-screen confidence How Kathleen successfully merged a shapewear business with a waste management business Appearance is power: How dressing intentionally gives you confidence Kathleen’s personal tips for gender neutralizing the workplace Why being a women owned business an catapult your income  Additional Resources In this episode we mentioned several resources:  Kathleen Kirkwood QVC Fashion B.R.A  – Bra Recycling Agency Sweat Protection Product by Kathleen: Glow Protection – Looking Good is No Sweat!
