In today’s episode we dive into the nitty gritty of owning and creating a business and brand in NYC as a female bartender & mixologist with award-winning New York City-based bartender, mixologist and philanthropist, Lynnette Marrero!

Known for co-creating the world's first all-female speed bartending competition, Speed Rack, she is widely regarded as one of the pioneering bartenders in the industry. The proceeds from Speed Rack go to raising money to fight and prevent breast cancer. It has had 9 seasons and has raised over 1 million dollars for the cause. It is also a platform that brings women in hospitality together to support each other and build a community. Speed Rack has expanded to 6 countries and is continuing to grow.

Within her own company, Lynnette Marrero Mixology, she’s been featured on Master Class to host its very first mixology master class. She also offers brand consulting, cocktail styling, Virtual Experiences on how to create specialty cocktails, and works with high-end restaurants to hire and train the staff, help design the bar and create custom cocktails. She also makes herself available when she can for speaking engagements, such as this podcast. 

So buckle up for this incredible episode and enjoy the show!

Today's episode is finally here! Our second part of our conversation with Musical composer & arranger, Kristina A. Bishoff.

Kristina "composed and produced the original book soundtrack to the New York Times Best Selling Series, Green Rider, by Kristen Britain. This idea expanded into the Green Rider Book Soundtrack & Art Book project, which raised almost $100,000 through the combined efforts of crowdfunding and eBay bidding. The Green Rider  fans rallied around the idea of music for their favorite series and we expanded the project to include artwork, accessories, cosplays, events, and other unique items that brought this beloved fantasy world to life."

Kristina graduated from BYU earning a B.A. in Commercial Music. She was the youngest of six students accepted into the Utah Valley University's Film Scoring Internship. There, she observed the music process for huge blockbuster films and received life-changing insight and advice from prolific composers Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, and Chris P. Bacon. Kristina also wrote music for another book soundtrack, Kaladin, a book soundtrack that raised over $100,000 on Kickstarter to create music inspired by Brandon Sanderson's famous novel The Way of Kings.  She has also written music for Salt Lake Pops, Pretty Darn Funny web-series, commercials for businesses, and alternative pop artists including Robyn Cage (under the alias of Kristin Royal).

This episode discusses:

• How Kristina went from giving up on her entrepreneurial dreams to creating an entire soundtrack to a popular book series
• The difficulties but necessity of learning to “do business” when it is not your forté 
• Benefits and downfalls of using and relying on Social Media and how it’s changed and continues to change
• Focusing on where your target audience is 
• Finding and building a community that will support your project, brand/ business
• Juggling being an entrepreneur, a wife, a mom and an independent woman within all of that.

In the Fashion Industry for over 20 years, Founder & Designer, Jessica Krupa shares her first-hand experience with life in the corporate world and that of creating her own businesses to become full time entrepreneur.

While working as a Panty Designer for a leading company for nearly a decade, she discovered all the chemicals, cheap materials, and synthetic fibers that were applied to women’s panties and knew that these couldn’t be good for feminine health and hygiene, which lead her to create her own entirely organic panty brand, Panty Promise. 

Jessica goes into many different facets and important information all entrepreneurs should know when creating their businesses. She shares how to organize time and priorities for your business, as well as some very helpful resources (some of which that are completely free to use) that can help you understand and better the growth of your business no matter what stage in building you are.
