This week on The Lazy CEO podcast, I'm joined by Kia Buckley, founder and CEO of Kikiva Collection. Kia started the brand at 19 from her apartment garage with $10,000 she'd saved working three jobs. Four years later, Kikiva has become an eight-figure activewear brand, built alongside the loyal community she's grown by sharing the journey on TikTok.
In this episode, we get into:
How Kia built an eight-figure brand before turning 24, and whether starting young was actually her biggest advantage.
The cash flow realities of scaling fast, selling out launches, and growing a product business.
Why documenting the journey on TikTok helped Kikiva build a genuine community, not just an audience.
Whether you're starting out or scaling a brand, Kia's story is a reminder that there's no perfect time to start, and the messy parts are often where the biggest lessons come from.
