Episode 075 (Life Stories Series) - Turning A Twitter Rant Into A Thriving Business With Gabby Bows Founders, Part 2
Mark Twain said, “THERE WAS NEVER YET AN UNINTERESTING LIFE. SUCH A THING IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. INSIDE THE DULLEST EXTERIOR, THERE IS A DRAMA, A COMEDY, AND A TRAGEDY.”
This is the Life Story Series.

Learning from an award-winning pre-teen business owner and a parent who's juggling it all - our host welcomes Gabby Bows Founders Rozalynn and Gabby Goodwin in sharing their life story of getting a thriving business off the ground.  Learning lessons on the fly, making business mistakes, navigating the new world of entrepreneurship while maintaining a full-time job, community involvement and a busy, traveling husband, Rozalynn shares what she's learning. Gabby, still in school (with homework and afterschool activities) shares her story and her persistence. Learn from this pre-teen what a "NO" really means. It's an incredible conversation! Here is Part 1 of our conversation.

==================
Have you ever stopped to consider what your life story is?  This question isn't about the specific details of what, when, how long. The question is about what's important, what did it mean, and other questions that unpack the WHY behind the what.

Our goal over the next few episodes is to host guests that will share their unique stories and engage in a level of transparency of their past and present challenges that will allow us to not only learn from them, but appreciate their stories, what they are doing and then simultaneously appreciate our own stories and life narrative. This series has FOUR (4) Goals:

We want you to think about your own life story
Appreciate your own life story
Listen to others’ stories - their victories, challenges, and lessons learned
Get a WISE IDEA about how other’s stories could cause positive change in your own life.

This series is sure to prompt smiles, evoke tears, and create "Ah Ha Moments".
