Lauren Griewski’s story is an inspiring one. Her career includes living in New York, working for MTV and Vivo, working for a startup, and then moving to LA because she got a job with Facebook working with leaders and executives. She is a four and a half time Iron Man athlete. And she understands the deep grief of losing someone close to you. This grief led her to her own soul searching mission where she got clear on what she wants her life to be about. And she is now the founder of Soul Expressed where she, in her words, helps people “find your you.” She longs to help people find their passion and then monetize that passion in every good way. In this episode, you will laugh, maybe cry, and certainly be inspired to live your truth and lean into what you’ve been placed on this earth to accomplish. We hope you enjoy this episode.

April Aldrich just oozes with creativity. She’s an author, a beekeeper, an artist, and a creator of mead kits. If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about bees, beekeeping, hives, and honey this is an episode for you! This is an incredibly interesting education on all things bees and the value they bring to our world. April is the founder of Must Bee Company and is inspired every day by bees and the hive as she has built a mead kit so that others can experience the joy of making mead in their own homes. We loved our time with Ape (you’ll hear the fantastic story of that nickname). We hope you enjoy this episode!

If we had favorites, Deja Knight would most definitely be one of them. She is hilarious, determined, relational, dedicated, and really good at what she does. Growing up in the small town of Muscle Shoals, AL, Deja was an only child and only grandchild. All growing up, she was drawn to capturing other people’s stories and as a result, could always be found with a video camera in her hand interviewing people. This translated well into her adult life as she began her career as a news reporter for well-known news stations in both Charleston and Nashville, transitioned into PR, and ultimately started her own PR firm, called Pearl Public Relations. This episode is full of laughter, lots of good stories, and insight into how important good PR is to the growth of your business. We hope you enjoy this episode!
Lee Deas is a force to be reckoned with, in all the good ways. She’s a native Charlestonian so her love for, roots to, and knowledge of Charleston run deep. She’s a big thinker, she’s a speaker, she’s a mentor, she’s a change agent, and she believes strongly in the no-asshole policy. Now that’s our kind of person. She’s connected, and she’s a connector. She’s as witty as they come. She cares deeply about her team. And she’s smart… really smart as evidenced by her efforts and focus in founding her own successful marketing company, called Obviouslee Marketing, and her partnership in two other successful start-ups, Citibot and Island Coastal Lager. At the end of every day, Lee’s mission is to help people grow really cool companies. We hope you enjoy this episode!
