In this week of TIP Talks, we are joined by Stephanie Herrington of Fandom Decal Designs!

The idea for Fandom Decal Designs was born in 2016, practically overnight, after offering to partner with a friend and sell decals as add-ons for their small business; however, I was told to get my own shop.  So...I did.

​I have a full time job and a family that demand much of my time, but this small business has been my creative outlet that keeps me sane.

​What started as an Etsy shop continues to grow and evolve.  It's time to expand outside of the virtual walls of Etsy and move to bigger, better, exciting (and yes even scary!) endeavors.

Owners and operators of I AM Seasoning , Bill and Deborah Gilcrease, met and married while in culinary school in the 90's.

Their desire to minister in Africa was birthed through friends who were long time missionaries. Since that time, The Lord has opened many opportunities of ministry in Africa.

Using their creative culinary background, Bill and Deborah developed their delicious blend of herbs and spices into I AM Seasoning, a growing local cottage kitchen company. They knew from the beginning that they would use this company to help support the missions' organizations in Africa that are near and dear to their heart.

I AM Seasoning co-owner, Bill Gilcrease, has had opportunity to travel abroad to Kenya, Uganda and has plans for Togo in the near future. I AM Seasoning works with ministries in these areas who support children's schools, pregnant women, women's training programs, orphanages, and surgeries to restore eyesight. As the business grows, our plan is for I AM Seasoning to continue to benefit these ministries, as well as give us the ability to bring more hands-on ministry. To accomplish this, we will be traveling and spending more time on the ground, one on one with leaders of the African ministries; along with giving life skills and job training to those who are being ministered to. 

Thank you for supporting I AM Seasoning!

Romereo Brown is the founder and CEO of the clothing brand Weird and Different which was started in 2020. Growing up, Romereo was bullied because he was born deaf in his right ear. His peers would tease him and call him names like mush mouth which is a character from the popular show "Fat Albert". Romereo embraced his uniqueness and launched himself into entrepreneurship after studying business at Tyler Junior College. His fortitude has led him to create a brand that represents the reinvention of those hurtful words directed to him by his peers, in a way that embraces the oddness in individuals. Weird and Different was created to make everyone feel confident in who they are. Romereo's vision for this brand is to be able to help everyone who shops with Weird and Different to love themselves authentically and celebrate their individuality.

Please consider supporting Romereo on his mission to inspire the confident uniqueness in us all. Weird & Different links below!

Nathan is a nationally Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) from Tyler, Tx who has started a handful of both TR and non-TR businesses throughout his career. His current TR businesses are SMART CEUs Hub (an online, NCTRC pre-approved source for Recreational Therapy continuing education), CEU Cloud (a mobile phone application for managing your continuing education transcripts/CEUs), and the Rec Therapy Directory (an ultimate resource site for Recreational Therapists). He also has a passion for seeing TR entrepreneurship grow and is both the author of the book “The Entrepreneur Rec Therapist: The Business Education You Missed In School” as well as the creator/moderator for the TR Entrepreneur Connection Facebook group that connects RT entrepreneurs/educates them. 

Besides these TR businesses, he is also the inventor/creator of the Pill Puncher which is a medical device that opens up blister packs of medication both effectively and sanitarily. 

During his career as a practitioner in Recreational Therapy, he has held jobs in both clinical and community Recreational Therapy settings. He has worked in Skilled Nursing and Behavioral Health, and did his internship in Parks and Recreation and Physical Rehabilitation. Nathan is also involved in volunteering in Young Life Capernaum, (a Christian ministry for teens who have developmental disabilities) and KVNE (the local Christian radio station that his wife works for).
