Intentionalist’s founder, Laura Clise, was recently interviewed for an episode of “Seattle Now” on @kuow. Give it a listen at the link in our bio! 🎙️🎁 “Holiday shopping season is upon us. Inflation and economic uncertainty are definitely in the mix this year, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t committed to spending. If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, sometimes where you shop can matter just as much as what you buy. Laura Clise is here with some ideas. She’s the CEO and founder of Intentionalist, which connects shoppers with local businesses.” #SpendLikeltMatters #Belntentional #seattlesmallbusiness #seattlefoodie
