This week on The Riley Black Project, we sit down with Megan of Raymond’s Trophies — APA Volunteer of the Year, laser badass, and longtime industry pro. We dive deep into her journey from photography and corporate life to running a family-owned awards business, how Raymond’s evolved through decades of innovation, and why adaptability is the secret sauce to longevity in any maker business.

We talk gatekeeping in the early laser days, the Glowforge “lightbulb” moment, COVID-era entrepreneurship, and the beautiful mess of balancing life, business, and community support. Megan also shares how the APA is finally bridging the gap between the OG engravers and the rising maker generation — and why that matters more than ever.
