Today’s guests on the Mitlin Money Mindset™ are Courtney and Lindsey Glasser, sisters and co-founders of Grey Bandit, an online clothing business and marketing powerhouse. Grey Bandit does not just promote clothing, but a lifestyle of wellness and positive vibes. Courtney and Lindsey understand that truly exuding beauty on the outside must come from a place of authentic confidence within.
This confidence isn’t easy for many young women. Courtney, Lindsey, and others in their lives have grappled with anxiety and depression on some scale and through Grey Bandit are trying to break the stigma that usually accompanies mental illness. They are building a community that they wish was available for them in their previous times of struggle.
Grey Bandit is not just a cute online clothing boutique, but also a medium to spread a deeper message and have a charitable component too. Make sure you pay attention to this conversation about a business that started as a college project and has surpassed $5 million in revenue in under four years.

The Glasser triplet’s path to Grey Bandit
Courtney, Lindsey, and Robert Glasser are triplets who grew up with constant exposure to entrepreneurship from both parents. As kids, they would go into their mom’s screen printing factory and help package orders, see what she was doing with her graphic designer, and go to events to sell clothing. They learned a lot of valuable skills and as high schoolers they were already pursuing their own entrepreneurial side hustles.
In college, Courtney and Lindsey were avid online shoppers. They were buying from Australian online boutiques because they weren’t able to find the on-trend pieces they wanted here in the US. So with unique skillsets—Lindsey’s vision, Courtney’s tech/marketing, and Robert’s warehouse operations—Grey Bandit was born from an idea for Courtney’s senior project and Grey Bandit is an online women’s clothing boutique with a mental health initiative that has seen major growth in its four short years in business.
Just like you
Lindsey and Courtney’s whole goal was to be as real and relatable as possible. When they were shopping online looking at smaller Instagram pages, a lot of what they saw was unattainable. It was high-end fashion, high-end models, it wasn’t realistic, and it wasn’t the way they wanted to go about doing business.
They wanted people to know anyone can wear their clothing. They want it to make them feel confident but know that it only enhances the beauty that they already have. Sharing their own stories about building this business, having mental health issues, and bringing that all together only amplifies the point of building this community. A community that they have always wanted and one built around being real and relatable. “We’re just like you” and just like you is actually one of the core values that they’ve set for the company internally and externally.
