What does it really take to scale multiple businesses to multimillion-dollar exits—and turn those experiences into a mission-driven empire? In this episode, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur Jaclyn Johnson, founder of Create & Cultivate, to break down exactly how she built her event-driven company into an eight-figure brand. Jaclyn shares behind-the-scenes insights from securing major celebrity partnerships to leveraging the rise of Instagram, navigating entrepreneurship from bootstrapping to venture backing, and why building community should be your #1 priority.
