Chatting With Polly Cannella, Co-Founder of Lokii
<p>Welcome to the first interview episode of the Real Shop Talk podcast! I am so freaking thrilled to be chatting with Polly Cannella, co-founder of Lokii today. Lokii is a new shopping app that makes it easier for shoppers to find quality products from independent retailers in their local community.</p> <p>The moment I discovered them, I knew I needed to know more! I reached out—fingers crossed—to see if I would be able to snag a call with Polly. To my delight, she promptly responded. And let me just tell you this woman is just as fabulous as her biz. We decided to jump on a call to meet and learn more about each other’s businesses. An hour and half later, we were fast friends. Polly’s heart and passion for the Lokii mission is so evident and the excitement just pours out of her.</p> <p>In this episode Polly tells all: what the app is all about, how it works, why your shop needs to jump on it asap, and the mission behind how and why it launched.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>LINKS MENTIONED:</strong></p> <p>• Visit the Lokii website: <a href="https://www.trylokii.com/">trylokii.com</a></p> <p>• <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lokii/id1501123585">Download the Lokii app</a></p> <p>• Follow Lokii on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lokii.app/">@lokii.app</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>ABOUT RETAIL THERAPY:</strong></p> <p>When you open your own business, it’s because you want to build something of your own—something uniquely you and yours.

Retail Therapy is here to give you the support and guidance you need to take control of your shop, help your business grow to its full potential, and live the life you’ve built for yourself.</p> <p><strong>ABOUT MORGAN:</strong></p> <p>First off, welcome!
