How to Perfect the Art of the Pivot. The host for this show is Xoe Heeney. The guests are Mikki Draggoo and Sara Semritc.

The twists and turns that brought Pixie Post to launch come back to a few simple truths. They love supporting small businesses. They thrive when we make customers happy. And they believe corporate and personal gifting can be elevated and magical.

For Mikki, it all started with some pixies. Three in fact, which first appeared in a children’s book she wrote called Catch That Cheese. As she transitioned back to Seattle from her 12-year stint in London, leading a brand and employee engagement team at a large company, she decided to pursue her long-time dream of growing her own entrepreneurial venture.

For Sara, it began when COVID-19 forced her exit from her 10+ year career in procurement at Vulcan. She took her chance to chase her dream of a more creative career tied to her passion of making beautiful gifts and surprises that people love. Her friends leapt at the opportunity and she became busy making, gift boxes, gift boxes, and more gift boxes.
