We had the good fortune of connecting with Lori Medrano and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lori, what matters most to you?
The value or principle that matters most to me is keeping God at the center of everything I do. My faith is the foundation of my life, and it shapes every decision I make, both personally and professionally. Without Him, I would have nothing, as He is the ultimate provider of my needs and the source of my strength and guidance. Keeping God at the center ensures that my actions align with His will, and it reminds me to lead with integrity, compassion, and purpose. This principle keeps me grounded and helps me navigate challenges with peace and confidence, knowing that His plan is always greater than my own.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business is unique because I guide with God at the center of everything I do. I trust Him to lead the people to me who need my assistance, and I make sure to include my clients in every step of the process. After all, it’s their business that needs to reflect their personality, not mine. My goal is to serve others to the best of my ability while honoring God’s purpose in my work.

Getting to where I am today hasn’t been easy—it’s been a journey full of ups and downs. But I wouldn’t change any of it because those challenges have shaped me and made me better at what I do. I overcame the tough times through Prayer and the support of others. One of the biggest turning points for me was working with a coach, a gift from a dear friend and client, Shawne. For three months, that coach helped me become more organized and taught me how to set boundaries, which has been invaluable for my growth.

What I want the world to know about my brand is that it’s just ME—authentic, faith-driven, and unapologetically centered on God. I am passionate about helping others succeed, and I pour my heart into making sure my clients feel supported and empowered. Every step I take is guided by my faith, and I am proud to let that shine through in my work.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting, I’d start by taking them to the Heights area, where we’d explore the charming small-town vibes with its walkable streets, unique shops, and a variety of amazing restaurants. We’d grab a bite at one of the cozy local spots, enjoy some coffee at a quaint café, and maybe strike up conversations with strangers—it’s a great way to feel the community spirit!

Next, I’d introduce them to my incredible network of friends. Over the years, I’ve met some amazing small business owners, and I’d love for my friend to see what entrepreneurship is all about. Who knows, they might even get inspired to start a business themselves! I’d take them to some of the networking groups I attend so they can experience the support and connections in action.

For a change of pace, we’d head to Memorial Park to take in the stunning views of the city and enjoy some outdoor relaxation. From there, I’d let them decide where to explore next—maybe the Museum District for a bit of culture, or we could check out the local food scene at a hidden gem I’ve discovered.

It’d be a mix of enjoying the best spots in Houston while meeting inspiring people and soaking up the beauty of the city. By the end of the week, I’d want them to leave with full hearts, full stomachs, and maybe even a few new friends and ideas!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My shoutout goes to God, who has been my ultimate guide and provider, and to my mom, who taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. From a young age, she instilled in me the importance of earning what I need through dedication and effort. Her example of strength and resilience has shaped who I am today. I’m forever grateful to God for His blessings and to my mom for her wisdom and unwavering support. Together, they’ve inspired me to keep striving for success with faith and integrity at the core.
