Layla Dierdorff: [00:00:19] Hi. Welcome to KCBS Radio. I’m Layla.

Austin Guest: [00:00:31] And I’m Austin.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:00:32] And today we have awesome guests with us in the studio. Holly with HoneyBee events and Heather with Health Guru Heath.

Austin Guest: [00:00:43] Hi, Holly and Heather. Thanks for being with us here today.

Speaker3: [00:00:46] Thank you for having us.

[00:00:47] Yeah, for sure. It’s nice to be here.

Austin Guest: [00:00:50] Thanks for being with us today. Can you tell us about yourself and a bit about your business? Either one of you is fine.

Holly Kaye: [00:00:56] I’m sorry. Okay. Well, my name is Holly. I am a Georgia native. I grew up in Kennesaw, Georgia, and then migrated to Woodstock and then to Canton, where I’ve been for 20 years. I have three kids. My oldest is my only daughter and her name is Bailey. And then I have two boys, Joshua and Samuel. And Samuel is about to graduate high school. So he’s my last and my business is an event planning and design company where I take all of your dreams and make them come true from the smallest detail to the biggest and any event really from personal to corporate. So anything in between, we help take over, lighten the stress and let the client actually be a guest at their own event.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:01:40] I have a question. Where did honey like, how did Honeybee get in the title?

Holly Kaye: [00:01:45] I’m glad that you asked that because not a lot of people do. I normally offer that as free information, so kudos to you for asking. I actually have a little honeybee on my necklace. So when I was growing up, I stayed with my grandmother a lot and my oldest sister could not say her true name, which was Helen. And she made a connection because my grandmother raised bees and robbed their honey. So when we were growing up, her name was Granny Honey. That’s what we called her. And since I stayed with her a lot, she just always meant a lot to me. And she passed away about seven years ago. So the name is an homage to her.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:02:26] Oh, I’m. It’s sweet. Okay. Heather.

Heather Winston: [00:02:30] My name is Heather Winston. I’m actually from California. I was born in Los Angeles and I grew up in Orange County. I moved to Georgia right before high school, so I’m a little Southern fried at this point. I have three kids as well, three Kid Club and Holly. I have two boys and a girl, but my girl is my youngest. My kids are 16, 11 and nine, Hayden, Zachary and Olivia. So I’ve still got a little bit to go. And I am a health and life insurance broker, so I help people with health insurance. Life insurance group benefits, individuals, families, you name it, I can do it. Anything. Health and life. So my business is health group health. A lot of people like you ladies think it’s Heath, but unfortunately, us Heather’s, we don’t really have a nickname. You know, my mom called me Heather, so I kind of went with the alliteration, you know, health insurance. So, yeah, Yeah.

Holly Kaye: [00:03:24] There’s not a lot of nicknames for Holly there because you don’t want to shorten it to exactly your first two letters. You want to be known as home. No, no.

Heather Winston: [00:03:33] No.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:03:34] Okay. Well, either one of you can start. How did you get started in your business? Like, what was the inspiration? It kind of just came randomly. What happened?

Holly Kaye: [00:03:43] Well, I’ve always been in the hospitality industry one way or another. My first marriage was restaurant business and I was a stay at home mom, but it always kind of infiltrated my life as far as planning my children’s birthday parties, making their birthday cakes, doing my friend’s birthday parties. And then when I needed to get a full time job, I went obviously straight back into hospitality because it’s natural and it’s what I know and started working full time with caterers And then through the caterers I met other event planner companies and made those connections while I was on site and just kind of started making bigger and more connections on purpose with the people that I knew were the the the bosses of those companies. And it’s been probably about ten years now. So I started with a smaller, I would say, mom and pop, but she’s busy enough to where she had like 4 or 5 employees. So I started working with her and working all of the design and the logistics, which I became extremely proficient at. And it’s imperative for events because people think you just throw up some banners or balloons, but when you have a lot of moving parts, you have to be well versed in the logistics part of it where it a lot of people coming in and out and the requirements of what that event might be and from that. I went to a bigger company in Atlanta where they were having events literally six, seven days a week and 2 or 3 events a day. So this was more of it was still individually owned, but extremely high end events in Atlanta. And so then I learned kind of the business side from them of how to be big and proficient and COVID hit, and that rocked the hospitality industry. So coming back to Canton and after COVID, I had to really think about what I wanted to do. What did I like? What could I really put my efforts into for myself? And that being my background, I just started to do it myself and created the business and really hit the ground running with it.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:05:54] Is it still the logistics part that interests you the most?

Holly Kaye: [00:05:57] It does. I think that for me, being creatively minded, the biggest thing for myself is. Can I do it? And in order to do it, you have to sit down and really work through everything from A to Z. Well, how do you do it? Where do you get it from? Can you get it here on time? Is this what the client wants and does it fit their esthetic? So the logistics always intrigues me, but the biggest part is being able to bring that dream or that vision that’s just in your head or on paper into reality. When you finally get through all the work. And there is a lot of work on the back end of a big event, especially something that’s really important to people like retirement parties, engagement parties, corporate client appreciation, those are big deals. And when that client sees that end result and knowing that they’re happy with it, then it makes that work worth it.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:06:56] That is amazing. Yeah.

Speaker3: [00:06:58] Very cool. Hey, Heather.

Heather Winston: [00:07:00] I actually ended up in this field kind of on accident. I went through some major life changes back in 2017. I got divorced and was in corporate America for about eight and a half years and decided I wanted to change everything about my life. So I left my company, my marriage, and put my resume on Monster.com and was picked up by a health insurance kind of company. And it was a straight commission position. And I like to do hard things. So I just jumped right in full force and I’ve made it work. And here we are, you know, six years later, rocking and rolling on with you lovely ladies. So thank you again for having me. But it’s been a whirlwind. I enjoy helping folks find solutions. I’ve kind of built my business off education. Nobody really knows anything about health insurance. That’s one thing that I’ve learned. And so I really just used my first couple of years building a referral based business by teaching people for free, you know, whether I could help them or not or earn a paycheck off of it. I always did the right thing, helped them put them in the right place. And that’s really been my biggest reward because I’ve just built that word of mouth referral business. So it’s great. I really enjoy what I do and.

Holly Kaye: [00:08:23] I would imagine.

Speaker3: [00:08:23] Trust.

Heather Winston: [00:08:24] Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And being your own boss is key.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:08:30] It’s my it’s my mom’s favorite thing. She doesn’t have to listen to anybody. Yeah.

Heather Winston: [00:08:34] My dad loves it. Yeah, I don’t have to leave the house if I don’t want to, so it’s pretty nice.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:08:40] Okay. Again, either one of you can answer. What have you done that that most contributed to your success as an entrepreneur?

Holly Kaye: [00:08:49] I feel like that’s such a loaded question.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:08:51] Yeah, we can, like, break it down and things, but, um.

Holly Kaye: [00:08:55] I think one of the first and fundamental things in making mine successful. And granted, I still kind of while I have the experience as far as it being my own business, I’m still in my mind in the fledgling period, you know, it’s not as big as I want it to be, but it’s consistent. But the biggest thing I would say is believing that I could do it. If you don’t have full fledged not even 100%, I mean, like 200% determination and belief in yourself. You won’t even get your foot out the door. So that’s a constant struggle, like I said earlier, where I like to be able to figure things out. But in that process, there’s always the doubt of can you and how do I. So it’s a constant balance of questioning myself, but telling myself that I can. So for me, that was the first and foremost thing. And then. Taking a step back and very purposely looking that now was in a new demographic. I wasn’t in Atlanta anymore where people had money to throw wherever they wanted. And Cherokee and Canton, you have to adjust to the demographic and the mindset. So I had to purposely step back. And look at how I did. How can I do that? How can I connect on purpose and with benefit? Because time is money. So I had to make my time worthwhile and really look at how I could connect with the community and get my name out there and give it a sense of worth. But also. Just like Heather said, educating people. Because a lot of times for an event planner, people don’t think that it’s needed until it’s too late. I get more phone calls after the fact saying that they wish they would have booked me because of the stress that goes into it for that actual day. So educating people on the worth of it was probably the second hurdle that I feel like I’ve gotten over now.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:11:03] Um. You said that you feel like it’s hard for you to grow anymore. What do you personally think the next step would be to help you do that?

Holly Kaye: [00:11:12] Right now. It’s going to be the word of mouth and references from the people that I already have booked. So I have a wedding this Friday and next weekend I have an event Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So it’s growing and which I’m grateful for. But for it to to go from there, just like Heather said, again, it’s it’s that word of mouth and people trusting you that you are worth what you say you’re worth. And once that’s proven. Then the word of mouth is the best advertisement you could ever have. And that’s going to only happen from people truly experiencing you and it turning out the way that A you promised B that it looks the way they wanted. And see that their experience was above and beyond what they initially expected. Because everybody’s going to have a retirement party, everybody’s going to have a wedding, everybody’s going to have a baby shower. Everybody’s going to have a child graduating a milestone birthday party, corporate events, Christmas parties, things like that. So it’s then again, those people being able to validate my name.

Heather Winston: [00:12:28] Yeah, yeah, I completely agree. Piggybacking off what you said, time is money for sure. Referral based business and having belief in yourself. I had no doubt that I could pull off a straight commission job. I just believed in myself and going against, you know, United Health Care, Aetna, that’s a little bit intimidating. So thinking outside the box really helped for me. I jumped on board with the social media train very early and started humiliating myself online, making like I did. I started making very right after COVID. I joined TikTok and started making funny videos, poking fun at American health care and, you know, and it worked. Whatever it took off, it took off, you know, and just, you know, anything and everything was health insurance, health insurance, every video, health insurance, health insurance and branding yourself. And then obviously, you know, delivering the honest performance, the honest advice, helping people, whether you can make money off them or not really drove my business to become referral based. And now I just, you know, my phone rings. I don’t really have to invest in any outgoing leads. It’s all word of mouth. So it’s been awesome.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:13:41] That’s really good.

Speaker3: [00:13:42] It’s very cool.

Austin Guest: [00:13:44] Um, um. So you have both become very successful. What would you say you define success as?

Heather Winston: [00:13:53] Um, I. I’m really happy with myself and I’m really satisfied with my life and where my life is and my relationship with my children, especially, you know, being a product of divorce. I guess it took some time to heal from that. And just the value that I’ve built in myself by making a straight commission job, working work and the, you know, the reviews, the feedback that I’ve gotten from people is really made me proud of myself. So I’m, you know, Holly, what.

Speaker3: [00:14:34] Do you think? I would agree.

Holly Kaye: [00:14:36] Um, for me, success is. Freedom. And in freedom that comes not just with finances, but with time.

Speaker3: [00:14:50] So, yes.

Holly Kaye: [00:14:51] Being able to give myself the time that I deserve to accomplish the things in my life that I want. And when you go through a lot of life changes and growing up and coming out the other side, a lot of places that you never expected to be in becoming an adult. Really defining who you want to be and how you want to be and how you want to do it, and being able to do it obviously ethically, but to walk those guidelines and really walk your own drum. The only your true beat, you know what I mean? Like when they say everybody hears a different drummer, obviously we’re all individuals, but to be able to live that out, that is success to me. And that time that we cannot get back, it’s the only commodity that is not replaceable and to be able to. Again, not only give myself that time to try to set out the accomplishments that I have defined in my life, but also to have that time to give to my family because my family is my biggest reward. And. I don’t want to waste it giving to an employer that A won’t appreciate me or that I’m breaking my back for and sacrificing time with my kids. Even if it’s dinner or going to a movies or whatever. I want to be able to have that flexibility and that time to say, Yeah, I can do that if I want to. I can rearrange these things if I want to. That’s success to me.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:16:24] Um, my mom, whenever she was working and like her like office job or whatever, once she quit, even though she was working, she still felt more present at home just because she would be able to, like, watch the movie with us. Even though if she was like working on a Lego or whatever, she was able to be there and not be at work physically present. Yeah. And like becoming an entrepreneur affects so many other people besides just the entrepreneur themselves, affects their family and their friends as well.

Speaker3: [00:16:49] Absolutely.

Holly Kaye: [00:16:50] And I think the other side of that, too, like being able to to do this and step out on my own, knowing that I could. Is also showing my children that success to me, like leaving some type of a legacy for them to be able to look at, not just financially, because honestly, anybody can make money, but it’s a legacy that I’m going to leave my kids that they can look at me and know that. Was it hard? Yes. Was it doable? Yes.

Heather Winston: [00:17:17] Yeah. I think if you do anything just based off money, it’s not going to be as rewarding as doing what you love. Yeah. Any advice that I could do? What you love. Find something that you love and learn how to make money off of it.

Speaker3: [00:17:33] Yeah.

Holly Kaye: [00:17:33] Because money comes and goes.

Speaker3: [00:17:34] Money comes and goes.

Holly Kaye: [00:17:35] And I’ve had.

Speaker3: [00:17:36] None. Yeah.

Holly Kaye: [00:17:37] If you’re not happy with yourself, then you’ve got nothing to teach anyone else.

Heather Winston: [00:17:41] Exactly.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:17:44] Move on to the next section.

Austin Guest: [00:17:45] All right. So what are some maybe possible regrets that you have had while starting up your business? Like thinking something like, Oh, I probably could have done this differently or I could have done this better while starting up your business.

Speaker3: [00:18:00] Lots of those early videos that I made.

Heather Winston: [00:18:05] I had to go back and private. A lot of those videos, I didn’t know how to do my makeup or about lighting. So yeah, those will be hidden in a vault.

Speaker3: [00:18:16] You know, that means that we’re going to have to go find those videos.

Heather Winston: [00:18:20] Privated them all. I privated them after a while, but, you know, fail forward. Fail forward. You know, I got you where you needed to go. I have embarrassed myself fully out there, so now, like, nothing can hurt me. Yeah, exactly.

Holly Kaye: [00:18:34] I would say for me, my only.

Speaker3: [00:18:38] Well. And I probably have a lot of regrets.

Holly Kaye: [00:18:41] But as far as my business is concerned, the main one that I would say is not starting sooner because I my personality, I have a loyal personality and I have. Honestly work till I die. Work ethic. And my word is the only thing that I have. And if I give it to you, then I will die fulfilling it. And I was doing that for other people. And that’s where I was saying time is success to me and freedom. Because again, I was investing in someone else’s livelihood, someone else’s dream. And while I honored that commitment, I wished that I would have started for myself sooner.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:19:29] It’s not funny that you say that, but I feel like until the past few years it was kind of like crazy or weird to start a business. But now it’s so like, Oh my God, it’s become very normal. Yeah. So for like, you guys started a while ago, did people like, make fun of you and all that stuff or like, just.

Austin Guest: [00:19:45] Say that you like, Oh, you’re not going to make.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:19:48] It crazy.

Heather Winston: [00:19:50] I don’t know if you’ve experienced this, Holly, but when you start doing what’s best for yourself, a lot of people tend to have an issue with it, especially people that, you know, I got a lot of the. Who does she think she is? You know, I think it’s you know, my rule of thumb is how people treat you as a reflection of themselves. You know, you’re a mirror. And if you invest in yourself, you know, the people that are going to come with you, surround yourself with people that support you, that love you, that really want to see you succeed, and all the rest of them will just weed out.

Speaker3: [00:20:21] Yeah, you know.

Holly Kaye: [00:20:22] I didn’t get critiqued too much. I think more of the of the feedback was from my own mother, who of course still worries even though I’m a grown woman. But it’s just part of motherhood, you know, because she wanted me to go get a steady job, a reliable job, something that I could bank on. It wasn’t risky. Yeah. She wanted me to, like, go work at a bank. If she said that once, she said it a thousand times, like, you know, they’ve got good hours. They’re off on holiday. I was like, I understand what that means. I want to do. If I went and worked behind a desk for six hours a day, I would shoot myself in the foot. Like, to me, that’s not my. Personality. I just am. I know it would be miserable. I to to me I have, I’m sure adult add like it wasn’t a thing you know, when we were growing up. But it fits my job because I have to finish so many different tasks at different times. And I’ve got, you know, six different clients at any given time and I have to be up creating something.

Holly Kaye: [00:21:32] I have a creative personality. So while I could appreciate my mother’s angst, I knew once again I had to walk to my own drum and had to be willing to take that risk. So I didn’t really get the critiques really, other than from kind of cold shoulders from people actually that I worked with before. So the mom and pop that I worked with out in Roswell. While she had earned her keep in a spot in the industry, it was more like. She was the only one that she thought could do it. Well, like kind of. Who do you think you are? Or kind of wanting to take the badge that she taught me everything. And then the higher end business that I worked with kind of has looked down their nose at me laughing of like because I obviously, compared to them, I am small. So I was kind of surprised at more of a response like that coming from them in a professional setting and especially as adults. But outside of that, if anything, it’s more my friends want me to do their events for.

Speaker3: [00:22:46] Free, so there’s no criticism.

Holly Kaye: [00:22:48] From them. It’s like, Hey, can you come over.

Speaker3: [00:22:50] Here and help? Can you come over here?

Heather Winston: [00:22:52] Yeah. I think being Neurodivergent is a superpower. In my opinion.

Speaker3: [00:22:58] You can really use it to your advantage.

Heather Winston: [00:22:59] Oh, absolutely. You know, strong sense of justice is a I think everybody should have a strong sense of justice, not just neurodivergent people. But I use it to my benefit. And as a superpower, I don’t look at it as a disability. Right? Yeah. It’s sparked my creativity. It’s helped me succeed. I thrive on being different.

Speaker3: [00:23:21] Oh, 100%. I have been since I was in elementary school. Same.

Holly Kaye: [00:23:26] I’ve never looked back. I’ve never had a problem standing on my own two feet, speaking my own mind. And I don’t go through a room or through life trying to cause destructive waves. I’m just trying to make my own waves. I’m not trying to take anybody down. I actually the other side of that is I’m trying to take as many small businesses with me as possible, and especially women owned businesses.

Speaker3: [00:23:47] Yes, always. Yes.

Holly Kaye: [00:23:49] I’m my own worst competitor, like no one else’s competition to me more than I am myself.

Heather Winston: [00:23:53] Yeah, I always say that the only person you should be in competition with is the person you were yesterday, right?

Speaker3: [00:23:58] That’s it. That’s it.

Austin Guest: [00:24:00] So based on what you have told us, what would you like give What advice would you give for aspiring entrepreneurs to help? Maybe prevent some of the things that you regret, whether it’s not starting sooner or some funny videos or.

Heather Winston: [00:24:17] Oh, gosh. I don’t know. Do what you love. Like I mentioned before. Do what you love. Believe in yourself. You know? Believe in yourself. Nobody’s going to do it for you. Nobody’s coming. You got to have that faith in yourself that it’s going to work out. Everything happens for a reason. You know, don’t get too high on the highs and don’t get too low on the lows.

Holly Kaye: [00:24:41] Yeah, because they’re consistent, if anything. Yeah. For me, I would say if I was talking to a younger version of myself that instead of just. Having a pipe dream, having an idea. At some point you really have to sit down and put it to paper. At some point you really have to look at. Can I do this? What am I interested in? Is there a niche in it that’s not being fulfilled? What’s a need in even in that industry or want that I might be able to fulfill outside of the generalities? You know, even in my industry, there are niches, you know, of what might be fulfilled as a need. But I would say to really sit down and put it to paper and then those next steps, like I had said earlier, of really planning out, okay, well, what does that mean? Who do you need to connect with? What’s the first step that you need to do? Is it an LLC? Is it your tax bracket? What does that mean? Making a logo, a business account, you know, what are those steps? And because those are the big ones that you need to get over, but then the day to day, you know, what does that look like? How are you making those connections and be willing to burn the midnight oil until it comes to fruition? Because there is no perfect scenario. At one point I was working three jobs and still trying to get my business off the ground. And sometimes that means going to bed at 1:00 in the morning. But you have to determine. How much is it worth? To me, that’s the biggest thing I would say. What is it worth and what are you willing to do for it?

Layla Dierdorff: [00:26:26] In CBC this morning it’s a networking group. The main topic was like, even if people are further along than you or if the market’s already full, as long as you find a problem and stick to it, you have a place. And it’s not like you’re not worthy. Even if people are like higher up or more successful than you. Correct?

Holly Kaye: [00:26:44] That’s that niche.

Heather Winston: [00:26:46] And don’t be too hard on yourself. That’s what I would tell my younger self. I was so self-critical and and don’t be too hard on yourself. Give yourself a break. Yes, give yourself a break.

Speaker3: [00:26:56] Yeah.

Holly Kaye: [00:26:56] Because I think I would have to say that one of the things that I kept thinking that besides Covid pushing me, you know, it was a blessing and a curse because it forced me to do what I had been thinking. And what it came down to is me telling myself, If you can do this for other people. In events that are $100,000 events, corporate events. If you can do this for them, why can’t you do it for you?

Speaker3: [00:27:26] Yeah, I agree.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:27:27] That’s powerful. It’s very powerful. Okay. Well, we’ve talked a lot about the past and the present. Why don’t we talk about the future? What are your future goals? Wishes like ideas?

Austin Guest: [00:27:41] Do you want your business to go within maybe the next few years, I’d say.

Holly Kaye: [00:27:46] Where I would like for it to go is for me to be regardless of how big it gets, but consistent enough to have enough consistent events to where I can actually employ someone like I used to be with that small mom and pop. I would like to be able to employ someone full time. Because I’m kind of in that limbo right now. I’m. I’m small, but I’m so busy that I’m literally swamped. But I’m not busy enough to where I can afford someone else’s livelihood. And I don’t take that lightly. So where I would like to be is that consistency and be able to have someone on staff full time and really start growing this thing and knocking it out of the park and being the go to name, not just in Cherokee County, but then even outside of that as an event planner, not just for weddings, for the for the other 364 days a year. Yeah. For any event. And again, being that trusted name that anybody can turn to and trust with executing the event that they want. So. I would like to be able to employ another young lady. I think it just kind of fits our personalities. Not that I won’t hire a man, but right now, my day of staff that helps me. They’re all female. It just kind of goes hand in hand and to be able to somehow inspire them, like along the way, whether they want to learn this industry or even if they want to learn how to be an entrepreneur, that I would like to be able to positively and directly impact a younger female generation.

Heather Winston: [00:29:30] Well, you’re inspiring me, Holly.

Speaker3: [00:29:32] Very, very inspiring.

Heather Winston: [00:29:36] For me. Financially secure. My oldest will be graduating high school in the next couple of years, and I have struggled in the past. And what I would love to give to my kids is the choice to if they don’t want to work, they don’t have to. I want to set them up financially so they don’t ever have to struggle like I have. And as far as my work goals, my business goals, you know, AT&T, Coca Cola, you know what’s going on. I do group benefits. You know, where you have any school system in the local area. I can help with anything. Got no skin in the game. So that’s really just, you know, breaking down the doors. And I’m all about the female empowerment. Yeah, I don’t really see how I could employ somebody. I mean, I really, you know, if I nail Coca Cola, that’s. I’m done. Yeah. Go buy my island and we are out.

Speaker3: [00:30:36] Well, see, a whole different TikTok. Exactly.

Heather Winston: [00:30:39] I’ll be out in the Maldives in one of those little huts, you know, although I am kind of deathly afraid of the ocean.

Speaker3: [00:30:48] Oh, that might not play a good part, but.

Heather Winston: [00:30:52] I’ll stay up on the shore and just, you know, you know or admire it from afar. Exactly.

Speaker3: [00:30:57] Exactly.

Austin Guest: [00:30:58] So. So for warning, we are going to ask to sort of deeper questions and then we’re going to do a quick this or that like very speedy, very speed round questions. But we are going to start with if you had the attention of the world for five minutes, everybody was listening. They were all paying attention to you. What would you say?

Layla Dierdorff: [00:31:19] You can take a minute.

Austin Guest: [00:31:20] Well, that might take a second.

Heather Winston: [00:31:24] That we need to seriously address the issue of human trafficking. And we seriously need to address the issues of what’s going on in our country and within our own government and to power the people. Huge. I’m all about saving the babies. I have a side hustle that I do where I make my own stone beaded bracelets, jewelry. They’re very pretty. Thank you. It’s called help end child trafficking. Dot com. Not a shameless plug here, but, you know, save the babies, man. Save the babies. That’s that’s my biggest deal.

Speaker3: [00:31:55] Always.

Holly Kaye: [00:31:58] Oh, man.

Speaker3: [00:32:00] I mean.

Holly Kaye: [00:32:01] The whole world. Yeah. I think the first thing that comes to my mind is urging people to get their house in order. So for me, that is a couple of things. First, your faith, because we don’t live forever and coming to the reality of who you trust to really save your life, not on just this earth, but in the one to come that men have their house in order and teaching their family the way that they should be taught that their children know something when they leave their house instead of being dependent. They are independent benefits to society. And being a role model model that’s worth following, you know, outside of the finances and everything else. So I would think, you know, have your house in order and spiritually then financially and just be somebody of worth. If you say something, mean it. And if you mean it, then do it. Your integrity is is everything.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:33:12] I’m sorry. Okay. Yeah. Very inspirational.

Austin Guest: [00:33:16] I love that.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:33:18] Okay. If you woke up tomorrow, I’m going to change the question a little bit. If you woke up tomorrow without your business, what would you what would be your what would be your first steps to recovery? And who are you without it?

Heather Winston: [00:33:32] I mean, I’m still me. I show love no matter what. I just want to be a positive light. There’s a lot of negativity in the world. I, I do a lot on social media, and I just try and put positive out there and, you know, I guess I do kind of have a backup plan, but I just believe in myself so much I don’t see myself failing. Yeah, to be honest.

Holly Kaye: [00:33:58] If I woke up without my business tomorrow, then I would just start something else.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:34:03] You wouldn’t try to rebuild it.

Holly Kaye: [00:34:05] If that wasn’t an option. Like if I lost it beyond recognition. For some reason, rebuilding is always a factor. But if in hypotheticals that I just lost it to where there is no coming back then. I would just start something else. I mean, I’ve.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:34:23] Goes back to what you said, like, I’ll work till the day I die. You’ll just keep on working.

Speaker3: [00:34:27] Yeah.

Holly Kaye: [00:34:27] I mean, it’s not an option. And like I said, anybody can make money. I mean, the reality is, as much as people complain about this country, it’s the freest country that you have the opportunity to be whatever you want. And if you really want to put your effort and your muscle behind your words, then there’s nothing really that you can’t do. It’s just, again, doing something that’s on purpose and be willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it. So if I woke up without it, I would still be me because I’ve woken up literally with nothing before. And. There would just be something else. I would just. Basically say what’s next?

Speaker3: [00:35:06] Yeah, I agree.

Heather Winston: [00:35:07] There’s two kinds of people in this world. People make excuses and people that don’t. You just make it happen. I’m not the same person I was five years ago. I’ve made such huge transformations in my life and I don’t even recognize who I used to be. Anyone can do anything. Anyone can do anything. You just got to believe in yourself. I really believe.

Speaker3: [00:35:27] That. Yeah. Okay.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:35:28] Ending on a happier note. Other than that, we’re going to do this or that now. It’s like just a quick ten ish questions.

Austin Guest: [00:35:35] Um, just a few simple this or that questions.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:35:38] Who wants to go first?

Speaker3: [00:35:39] Go ahead, Holly. Okay.
