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

Hi Sharde, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think risk is all about taking chances, betting and believing in yourself. Risk has been my bestfriend throughout my life. Everytime I get to a place where I want more, I take a risk. I say, if the risk is worth the reward, go for it. This interview we’re having now wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t taken a risk to leave my teaching career to pursue a life of entrepreneurship.

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?
Snap IT HTX is the top 360 booth in TX. What I believe make us great is that we capture moments. We make the bride’s and groom’s day a little more special. We turn events to movies. Starting my business was not easy. I believe starting anything new comes with challenges. When you believe in what you’re doing those challenges become lessons. With my business Snap IT HTX, software and programs are always updating or having glitches. What prepares me for those moments are the countless hours I put in to know the ends and outs of my business. It gives me that confidence and reassurance when I’m faced with difficulties.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
It’s many great places to visit in Houston. I like being in nature, going for walks and hikes. Things to keep me rooted and grounded. It’s a few good vegan restaurants out here as well. I personally like to cook my own vegan dishes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout my baby girl, Riley. She is the reason I am who I am and the reason I keep going everyday. She is my why. I also want to shoutout the dreamers. Whatever dream or idea you have, go for it. Can’t stop won’t stop.
