Andrea Polk Went From Losing Her Job To Placing Her Brand Solo Noir At Walmart And More Retailers
Losing her job was the push Andrea Polk needed to start not just one, but two thriving brands. In October 2012, Polk was working in marketing sales with a side gig developing a men’s personal care collection. She was up for a promotion when her boss summoned her to his office. “He asked, ‘How do you like this job?’” she recounts. “I played the role, saying it was the best job even though I was planning to leave to leave at the end of the year when I had enough money.”
