  • A conversation with creator, singer and event producer Molly Hensrud

    Molly Hensrud was born and raised in North Dakota and grew up in a musical household surrounded by classical music, lots of dessert and frigid winters. She's a multi-passionate entrepreneur who owns Brynn's Wishes (a greeting card company in honor of her sister), sings as much as possible and fierce event producer. She fills up her life with as much travel, design and music as she can and loves early dinners or "suppers" as they are called in the midwest. Connect with Molly and support her greeting card company Brynns Wishes here: etsy.com/shop/BrynnsWishes 

    About her company, Molly shares "named after my late, older sister Brynn, who shared endless joy with those around her even while battling cerebral palsy, epilepsy and microcephaly; Brynn's Wishes is a commitment to spreading joy and love in a small, simple way. In this digital age, the tactile pleasure of writing and reading handcrafted greeting cards can be significant, offering a private moment of joy and love in times of both great celebration and great challenge. I started Brynn's Wishes because I wanted to spread joy through greeting cards and also give back to the noble organizations that help support special needs children."

  • A conversation with public speaking coaches Shelley Goldstein and Mark Bossert

    As international speaking coaches and founders of Remarkable Speaking, Shelley Goldstein and Mark Bossert have trained thousands of people in over 40 countries from just about every industry on how to become confident and compelling speakers. Shelley struggled to memorize scripts making her incredibly nervous and tongue-tied when she had to present. Mark was terrified to speak up because he was anxiety ridden and lost his confidence from sleepless nights. The coaches met in a public speaking course. The investment and experience mastering those skills became Shelley and Mark’s inspiration in developing their signature transforming methodology to help others overcome their speaking fears. When you speak remarkably, you unlock your inner voice to be seen, speak with intention and make meaningful connections anywhere, anytime about anything. remarkablespeaking.com
