Ginger Lundell | Co-Owner and VP of Marketing for 7F Lodge

Emily Eggebrecht | Founder of Consider the Wldflwrs

One of the most important factors behind our small business success has beeb the ability to be resourceful. I think with any role in life being resourceful is both imperative and challenging. I believe to my core that the idea of being resourceful and trying to constantly grow and learn to be able to solve problems yourself and really dig into the why when you experience failure is all part of growing a small business and start up and being human! People have been surviving by being resourceful for many many years. Being a business minded person, I am inspired by all the inventions that have made it easier for people to live comfortable lives, but I also think that limiting the comfort and being resourceful can propel the business forward (and person!) more than anything else.

Miriah Soliz | Founder of The Soliz Law Firm

As the founder of The Soliz Law Firm, I, Miriah Soliz, firmly believe in the power of the magnifying glass – our firm’s emblem. It’s not just a logo; it’s our philosophy. We use it to symbolize our commitment to magnifying and uncovering every detail in a case, no matter how small. Unlike many firms that may overlook nuances or hastily dismiss a case, we recognize the potential in each situation. We delve into the depths of each case, ensuring nothing is missed and every client’s story is fully represented. Read more>>

Ashley Worhol | Musician | Composer | Artist | Actress | Author

The most important factor behind both my success as a business owner and our band, Worhol, is that I/We are authentically ourselves. In the film industry, music industry and art industry combined I have always been faced with seeing other people’s success and I’ll be honest, years ago I use to envy the careers of others and wondered why circumstances were succeeding for others but not for me. I did a lot of soul searching and came to the realization that my path is specifically my own journey. As an artist I allow myself to be vulnerable, showing all sides of myself in hopes my story can inspire others to live out their dreams. The beauty about our life, is that we are so unique. Each of our stories will never be the same and thank God they are not. No one will ever know what someone else is going through or what it may have taken them in order for that success to be reached. That once feeling of envy turned into an applause as now I am front row and center cheering on anyone who finds success in their life. Read more>>
