This week you will meet Krystal Hogaboam, who along with her husband Ryan own Channing Baby and Co., a modern baby store located in downtown Tacoma. Channing Baby & Co. offers an expertly curated selection of easy-to-use equipment to safely keep babies clean, fed, rested, and entertained. Their fashion-forward clothing labels keep babies looking trendy all the while. 

 

If you have ever wanted to know what it takes to own and operate a clothing store, then this week is for you! Krystal is going to share everything she wished she knew when she first started her journey. She believes that you don’t have to follow a traditional path to have a successful life and she is living breathing proof of just that! Here’s a little bit about why she wants to inspire you as a future entrepreneur. 

"I was a very non-traditional student growing up and I wish that there had been more education surrounding options besides college. It's important to know they (youth) don't have to follow a traditional path to have a successful life - and that success can be measured by a lot of different metrics!" -Krystal Hogaboam
