Episode 129 // Kim Ellenz of Old School Seals
On this episode of the Rural Revival podcast we’re with Kim Ellenz of Old School Seals in Tipton, Kansas (pop. 193). Old School Seals custom makes wax seals and stamps for people around the world — all from a small town — and today Kim is bringing us inside to tell us all about it. She shares about the start of the company and how she got involved, moving the business to Tipton, the intricacies of running an online business, and much more. From working with wedding designers in New York and the South to designing seals for some well-known national brands, this is quite the story.
You’ll love learning about this unique business and how they are thriving in their small town of Tipton. Typically we talk to people who are a few years into their entrepreneurial journey, so it’s really great to have the opportunity to hear from a more seasoned small business owner, and there was so much we can learn from Kim!
Just have grit. You’re gonna have to put up with the naysayers. But for everyone that thinks you can’t do it, there’s three more who are behind you all the way, 100%.
— Kim Ellenz
