As entrepreneurs, our conversations often revolve around our professional endeavors. However, in the grand scheme of things, the foundation of our relationships with customers lies in the "know, like, and trust" factor. Therefore, we invite you to offer a glimpse into your personal story. Share a little about yourself, allowing your authenticity and personality to shine through, and fostering a deeper connection with those who choose to engage with your business.

Joan, can you take us back to the beginning and share the pivotal moments that shaped the woman you are today? What inspired your path, and how has it evolved over time?

When people speak your name years from now, how do you hope to be remembered? What legacy do you hope to leave behind, both personally and professionally?

What does a typical day look like for you now, and how do you prioritize the things that bring you joy, meaning, and impact?

As you reflect on your incredible journey, what achievement or moment stands out as something you’re most proud of—and what made it so meaningful to you?

Tell us about the people and passions that bring balance to your world. What does your family life look like, and how do you unwind or fuel your spirit when you're not working?
