Welcome to episode 9! This episode takes a look at “Duck Syndrome”. Never heard of it?? Neither had I. But there is so much we can learn from ducks as to what NOT to do in our businesses. I break down 3 characteristics of a duck and how we can ensure we are not emulating this behavior.
The moral of the story is, don’t be a duck! After all, wouldn’t you rather be like an eagle soaring high above the crowd than like a duck furiously paddling to go nowhere fast?? Article: https://awesomeaj.com ----- Brandeegaar.com -----

| 15 Dec 2020 | 60. Why I am not a "Mompreneur" | 00:32:09 | |
By definition, a “mompreneur” is simply a mom, who runs a business from home while full time taking care of her children. But I'd rather choose to be called business owner. I am a CEO that happens to have kids. I'm also a mom. But I am not a mompreneur. In this episode, we cover practical ways I've found a balance between being a mom and a business owner. Because the truth is - there is no such thing as work-life balance. There's always something in your life that will give and take. The trick is choosing priorities for what does.

Welcome to episode 15! Jacob and Courtney Towe are the owners of DJJacobCo or soon to be JacobCoCreative. Jacob is a sound engineer and the idea for their DJ company came with they were attending a friends’ wedding and Jacob said he could barely stand to be in the room because the DJ’s sound was so bad. It was then that he thought…you know I can do this better. He knew he could offer a superior DJ/sound experience for couples to elevate their wedding experience and so DJJacobCo was born! In this episode, Jacob and Courtney will share how they have evolved their brand from DJ to fully immersive sound and lighting design for events. They travel the world producing events that create a playground for the senses! And the most amazing part of all of it?? It’s 100% solar powered!

They’ll also share how they calculate their carbon offset for each event they do to ensure the footprint they leave behind is as small as possible. Their 2 girls often travel with them and work behind the scenes to make JacobCoCreative a real family business.

Vincent Dreffs has over 30 years of experience serving in the food and beverage industry working with high-end venues like Gaylord Entertainment. After leaving a corporate position, Vincent decided to venture off and build his own business. And after an almost perfect 360 audit of his new venture? Nothing but crickets. No business coming and nowhere to turn. Or so he thought. By strategically tapping into his network (and building some new ones along the way) Vincent was able to build the several successful businesses he has today - and he is sharing them with our She Who Dares Podcast Community (which some of them might surprise you!)

| 07 Jan 2020 | 11. Her venture from florist to a software developer | 00:49:48 | |
Welcome to episode 11! My guest today is Corrine Heck of Details Flowers Software. I have worked with Corrine for almost 10 years and when I thought who I wanted to kick off 2020 with, I knew it had to be her! When Corrine and I worked together, she was an event florist and I remember that she would always tell me about a system she used to design and price her proposals. Back then it was all done in excel but over the last 5 years, Corrine has developed her system into a fully functioning floral planning and design software serving over 500 florists internationally! Today she shares how she recognized a pain point in her industry, created a solution and created what we know today to be one of the fastest-growing floral software brands. When we recorded this episode, it was exactly 1 month after Corrine had undergone major brain surgery to remove a tumor doctors had found in her head after a Summer of sporadic medical issues. Corrine believes (and I totally agree) that she is a living miracle after this surgery and that God has given her a special task of sharing her story to encourage others. I hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as I do! Follow me online!! Brandeegaar.com -----

| 21 Jan 2020 | 13. How her battle with cancer has helped re-shape her business | 00:51:41 | |
Welcome to episode 13! UPDATE: This episode was recorded the year before the passing of my good friend, Rebekkah Rosado after a long battle with cancer and GvHD. If you didn't know Rebekkah, she was such a bright light that radiated joy wherever she went!! She was a wedding planner, a floral fairy and a vintage styling goddess! She was a fierce boss lady who knew how to command a room and make you feel like you were the only one in it all in the same moment. She inspired everyone around her to feel empowered, bold, excited and eager. I shared with Rebekkah many times how much in awe of her I was as I watched her come into the Orlando wedding market like a fireball and make her presence forever known with her huge smile and even bigger hugs. I was honored to have had a chance to spend an afternoon with Rebekkah in December of 2019 to chat about her business, her battle with cancer and how the preparation for her fight against this disease made Runway Events even stronger. So while I am not sure the best way to pay an adequate tribute to this beautiful soul, I am 100% positive that listening to this episode with my friend Rebekkah Joy Rosado will inspire you to live your biggest dreams out loud. ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES: In this episode, Rebekkah shares how her business has quadrupled since her diagnosis with Hodgkins Lymphoma which is completely mind-blowing! She shares how this diagnosis has helped her to slow down and to realize that she was doing the work of 4 full-time employees on her own and that to battle this disease she would need to hire, train, and trust. I can’t wait for you to hear more about Rebekkah’s story. I promise you’ll be inspired!! Social Handles & Website: Instagram: Facebook: Website: Follow me online!!

The stories of "overnight success" seem like they're coming out of the woodwork right now right?? It's like everywhere you look on social media you see an ad for how to work 2 hours a day and still make 7 figures while sipping a mai tai on the beach. But what you don't see is the hard work that got them there! The 90+ hour weeks of blood, sweat and tears that went into building that passive income. The all nighters creating content or designing a new website or sales packet to just close 1 client! Success is not built overnight and as a friend encouraged me through a text "Success only comes before work in the dictionary". Right now during this time of "sheltering in place" we feel like there's no work to be done. No events are happening and most of the world has stopped. But I want to encourage you to use this time to work the hardest behind the scenes so when that client calls or sends you a web inquiry, you will be 100% ready to close the sale! In this episode, I'm sharing 5 tips on how you can be working right now to ensure your business is ready for the success to come!

SWD Podcast Episode 13 with Rebekkah Rosado SWD YouTube Episode 13 with Rebekkah Rosado Today's planned episode of the She Who Dares podcast will not air as scheduled. Instead, I would like to invite you to listen to Episode #13. Yesterday I learned of the passing of my good friend, Rebekkah Rosado after a long battle with cancer and GvHD. If you didn't know Rebekkah, she was such a bright light that radiated joy wherever she went!! She was a wedding planner, a floral fairy and a vintage styling goddess! She was a fierce boss lady who knew how to command a room and make you feel like you were the only one in it all in the same moment. She inspired everyone around her to feel empowered, bold, excited and eager. I shared with Rebekkah many times how much in awe of her I was as I watched her come into the Orlando wedding market like a fireball and make her presence forever known with her huge smile and even bigger hugs. I was honored to have had a chance to spend an afternoon with Rebekkah in December of 2019 to chat about her business, her battle with cancer and how the preparation for her fight against this disease made Runway Events even stronger. So while I am not sure the best way to pay an adequate tribute to this beautiful soul, I am 100% positive that listening to this episode with my friend Rebekkah Joy Rosado will inspire you to live your biggest dreams out loud.
