JK Creative Founder Julie Kostic Featured on The 5th Floor’s New Podcast
Stephanie Lerret from Avalon Park Group interviewing Julie Kostic from JK Creative on Meet the Member.
A Conversation Six Years in the Making
What happens when you revisit an entrepreneur six years after they received a helping hand during one of the most challenging periods in modern business? You get a pretty meaningful conversation.
JK Creative founder Julie Kostic recently joined The 5th Floor’s new Meet the Member series as its first guest, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, community, business growth, and the journey of building JK Creative over the past decade.
The conversation has an especially meaningful connection to JKC’s story. In 2020, Julie was one of the original recipients of the Avalon Park Innovator Award, an initiative created to support local entrepreneurs during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Six years later, The 5th Floor invited her back to talk about where that opportunity—and the past six years—have taken her.
