π’I talkποΈwith Laura Becraft and Lauren Ward π Co-Founders of Brazen Imports & Consulting! π πΈβ¨ π
I feel honored they chose the Thirsty Thursdays @3PM EST podcast to talk about their new venture for the first time from a media-based perspective.
We are a bit less formal with the opening so we are discussing what we are drinking as Laura has a delicious bloody mary made with The Original Pickle π₯ Shot and then we just flow right into the conversation. I would love your feedback on your thoughts.
Laura and Lauren have a client called John King Co-Founder & Owner of The Original Pickle π₯ Shot. They refer to him throughout the episode so I wanted to make sure you are familiar with whom they are referencing. I interviewed John on November 9th, 2023. Or catch it on YouTube! π½ π
Also super exciting is their announcement of their Brazen Trails Foundation on the Thirsty Thursdays podcast just in time for Women's International Day on March 8th! Check out their website for additional details! You could be selected to be the next candidate for their foundation. https://www.brazenimports.com/trails
We talk about how they started their new venture and why they named it Brazen Imports & Consulting, as well as, many industry insights. They both have such a well-rounded experience and advise others to try as many different positions in our industry to maximize your potential and be ready for whichever may come your way!
These ladies have experience in every corner of our business and have so much to offer their clients. I'm very excited for these talented ladies and wish them both continued success.
Be sure to catch our Live Happy Hour celebrating women in our industry around the world on March 21st! Join our event posted on LinkedIn! You can call in and speak with us and celebrate π» together with your favorite cocktail! π₯ π»
You also need to check out the way we ended the podcast. I've been wanting a fun catchy way to finish the episode and Laura suggested Rapid Fire Questions,βso we did with great success. Please do not miss out on this part! It's super fun.
