My guest today is Heather Bryan. Heather is an entrepreneur and the only woman to design and develop an engraving system in the US (pretty cool right?!)
Heather caught the entrepreneurial bug from her father, who was a multi-passionate entrepreneur. Her journey started off back in 1999 when she and her father became pioneers of onsite engraving for the PGA Tour, USGA and PGA events around the globe. In 2014, her father retired and Heather decided to develop her own system and box it up for others to be able to have their own engraving businesses out of their homes. This system is perfect for stay-at-home moms, or anyone else who is interested in starting a business.
Heather shares some of the ups and downs she went through when trying to bring her idea to market. Because she's tenacious and believes in equal opportunity she perservered like the winner she is, and because of that many more people have a chance to create the life and business of their dreams.
Heather has a philosophy that first businesses should be project-based, meaning you complete a project and you get paid. This helps keep the new entrepreneur motivated and excited about the possiblities.
Heather's product is a business-in-a-box side hustle that includes the equipment and product sourcing. She created a side hustle for others from her side hustle of local onsite engraving, and the level of support she provides her clients is unparalleled.
We cover a lot in this interview, including:

My guest today is Kristen Crawford. Kristen is a pageant queen who has realized the importance of a strong personal brand in competition. She now helps others as a Personal Brand Strategist. Kristen focuses on helping pageant queens & aspiring queens create clarity and confidence in their personal brand voice and visuals to create a rockin' pageant brand.
I was really excited to learn all about Kristin's history and how she got into pageantry. I've never spoken to anyone who's been in pageantry before, and if you haven't either you're in for a treat. Her story is unusual in that she started in pageantry at the age of 30. Most girls start out younger than that.
Kristin’s learned so much through the process of competing over the past few years, and this led her into wanting to help other queens and aspiring queens get crystal clear on their messaging, and how to tell their stories in a powerful way.
If you're like me, you're looking forward to finding out a bit about the behind the scenes pageant lifestyle; it seems both glamorous and rigorous.
I had so many questions, and Kristen did a great job of answering those and more so listen in and get a glimpse into the pageantry world.
Here's a hint: The information Kristen shares is applicable to you wether you are interested in pageantry or not, and whether you are female or not. Let's dive in.
Kristin and I cover the following and more:
