In today’s conversation, we are chatting with my friend Lucy Wang. I met Lucy in person at a photography workshop years ago and collaborated with her for a bit when we both dabbled in the newborn prop industry. She is a wife and mama of 3 residing in the LA area.

Otherwise, she is tending to her indoor jungle, heading to a hip-hop class, browsing the aisles at Trader Joe's, or entertaining in her backyard. Occasionally you might find her, camera in hand, helping other families document those small but significant moments in life.

• Lucy’s background and journey into mompreneurship
• Discussions of CRMs and goals to be able to scale her business
