Summary

In Episode 14 of Never Stop Dreaming BIGGIE, I'm getting vulnerable about my entrepreneurial journey from founding the Charleston Wine & Food Festival to making the difficult decision to close Like Minded Charleston and focus on building The Brighter Side Society globally. This solo episode explores business pivot strategies, community building secrets, and how faith-based decision making led to creating multiple successful ventures from scratch.

You'll hear the real story behind building events with billion-dollar economic impacts, losing everything during COVID, and why sometimes you have to shut successful doors to open bigger dreams. I share my "superpowers" of community building and organization, how prayer guided my pivot decisions, and the vision for taking The Brighter Side Society worldwide while building The Holmestead Bar & Retreat in the Caribbean.

Whether you're a female entrepreneur feeling pulled in multiple directions, considering a major business pivot, or ready to turn overwhelming dreams into organized action, this episode offers both vulnerable storytelling and practical business strategies. This is the "B" in BIGGIE—Believe—in your bigger vision even when it means closing chapters you love.
