Em Sexton

"I wondered if women in my community would be interested in using their purchasing power for good."

Today’s guest is Emily Sexton, the founder and CEO of The Flourish Market, a shop where every product has a bigger purpose, just like you. And purpose is much of what we chat about today. Emily shares with us how we can craft the mission and message of our own businesses. I think this is critical in communicating effectively about the value of what we do.

If you are not familiar with The Flourish Market, go and check it out as soon as you are done listening to this episode. As you find out in the episode, it is a very interesting story.

    More about Em Sexton:

    With a past career on Wall Street as a Vice President of Communications and Change Management, Emily Sexton brings her ‘win them over’ know-how, delightful enthusiasm and every day wit to encourage women to use their influence for good.  She is a speaker, small business coach, and impact entrepreneur on a mission to equip women to create change and come alive.

    From Wall Street to the streets with no name, you can find Emily traveling in developing nations to find gorgeous goods for her Downtown Raleigh, NC Boutique + online shop, The Flourish Market.

    She is an overly obsessed dog mom, a karaoke back up dancer aficionado, a green smoothie junkie, and an avid believer that everyone is worthy of influence.

    Her latest venture, The Locality, a co-working space + incubator for 60 female entrepreneurs, opened in the Summer of 2018 with membership spots selling out before construction even started, proving that women are realizing life and business are not meant to be done alone.

      Meet Davey & Krista

      We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

      Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

      That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

      We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

      we're Davey & Krista
