We had the good fortune of connecting with Madison Paige and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Madison, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
There was never really a question that I wanted to start my own business. The actual business idea itself? That was the real question.

But to be honest, it happened naturally. I started somewhere. It kept evolving. I noticed a need and I kept adapting and then I found what I truly loved.

Then I went all in on what lit ME up the most, but was still helping people. Just constantly chasing the mission to allow accessible business support to everyone with the dream in mind to own a business.

Sometime you just have to start and let the journey take the reins and be open to adapting to find what truly fits. It’s rare that a business owner starts a business & chases only that business model for their whole life.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I teach small business how to evolve into brands that stand out & sell out using a community centered social media strategy.

In short – I help you build a die hard community that will buy literally anything from you.

What I do differently is that my business is FULL of warmth, community, & high tough support. I love giving surprises. My goal is to make every piece of content feel like you’re hanging out with a friend. My clients’ business is DEEP in my heart & soul.

Something I have always believed in life & especially business is nothing is unachievable with enough hard work & commitment to it. No matter what.

And I wanted to build a business full of warmth, community, & love that allowed me to travel anywhere at any time & also support people in pursuing their wildest dreams. It’s all possible.

I’ve now been to over 28 states & two countries in 12 months while supporting over 150 businesses. Nothing is out of reach – ever.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh man – this is a good one. We would do everything & nothing all in one week.

Delicious coffee in the backyard every morning.
Sample the best bakeries for breakfast.
An entire itinerary of outdoor fun – hiking, whitewater rafting (duhhh), beaches, whatever is near by, we’ll find the best spots.
A few nights of live music, good beer, & conversation.
A few nights of dinner & movies.

A couple days to explore the area. A couple to just hang out & relax. A couple to do some activities to get the heart racing.

It’s all about balance. You need a little bit of everything.

Breweries. Hikes. Slow Mornings. Big Whitewater. Good food. Better desserts.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
When I was 11 years old, my family bought an Adventure Resort in Wisconsin. We do whitewater rafting, zip lining. kayaking, etc – a kids PARADISE.

At 14, I was taking reservations. At 16, I was guiding trips & heavily invested in customer service.

By the time I was 17, I was the Operations Manager, managing a team of 30+, & dedicating as much time as possible to growing this business as I could.

Without this opportunity to dive in to the day-to-day of a business at a young age – I don’t know what my life would look like today.

I dedicate much of my place in life to this wonderful place & my parents for giving me such valuable experience at such a young age.
