Let's Get Down to Business: An Entrepreneurs Journey

AKA my sister! How freaking awesome is it to start this podcast and then be able to have my sister on as a guest with her amazing photography biz capturing the most beautiful family moments. She started it out of nowhere during a pandemic, while raising 2 young boys, and handling the situation of our Mom's health. I am so proud of all she is accomplished but mainly for the mother she has become. We recorded this episode on the 1 year mark of our Mom's passing so don't mind all the emotional defensive laughs through out.

The Gold Dust baby wasn't born out of thin air… or wherever dust comes from, but from a vision in Shelby's mind that was set for it to become a reality... and aren't we all glad that it did! Bringing on her sister to be partners, and with the help of the whole family, this wild and unique vision became the exact reality that is our new and fun shop in Orlando. Obviously there is so many stories in this journey that are so INSPIRING and so interesting

This is a journey you shouldn't miss

Well, you know what time it is, BEER-Thirty!! Let's start off with a life tip… BEER is not the answer. BEER is the question, Yes is the answer. Now if you want the equation to it all, B.E.E.R = Brew. Enjoy. Empty. Repeat Give the episode a listen, I mean life is difficult right? That's why doctors always tell us that a BEER a day keeps reality at bay! I asked my doctor if BEER is the reason I'm getting fat, the doctor responded “Drinking BEER doesn't make you fat, it makes you lean….. lean against bars, tables, chairs and poles”. I was always told that finishing the race is optional – finishing your beer is NOT.—Beers too many more cheers—

Ride the Purple Ocean wave with us as we journey through the best Vegan place in Central Florida with a concept made and lived by the tropical minds of their founder Josiah.

We also dove into what it took to start this business and continue to grow it since 2016 even when acai bowls really weren't much of a thing here in Orlando. We have a great time eating and laughing and really having such a fun discussion about EVERYTHING.

We had to bring it back and make sure we had the other co-founder for these four businesses so he could discuss the journey from his perspective. From where things started for him, connecting with co-founder Chris, craziness of production in Mexico and soo much more.

Where there's a WINE, there's a way! Favorite wine bar in Florida with an atmosphere that embodies an amazing backyard mixed with an artistic indoor vibe all with live music and an energy that will make you want to come back over and over again. We loved the time to WINE down with the 3 Founders of this beautiful WINE BAR! The conversation was flowing and aged like a fine WINE. It was almost like we have been ‘partners in WINE' sometime before. We got to discuss their journey from the beginning and I'm sure you know every EMPTY BOTTLE is filled with a great story.

Vintage vibin' with the young man who started selling t-shirts on Instagram to bring in only a few hundred dollars.
