Jonathan Cernanec | Co-Creator of the Beer Darts Gadget

Experimentation and willingness to fail. We have failed 10 time for every one success, but we stick with it. The beginning of Beer Darts was just happenstance. There was a pandemic on and we aren’t the kind of folks that were just going to sit on our hands. Read more>>

Whitney Thetford | Photographer

I believe my success in the photography industry is due to my want to provide something for others I would be happy to receive myself, and knowing my own strengths in the game. I take note of my couples budget, vision, overall personalities, and tailor my service to them. Reading people and knowing if we will work together in a way that benefits us both is key. I care about offering affordable pricing and quality work, therefore taking on clients who appreciate what I do eliminates the need for me to hike my rates. Read more>>

Malory Wride | Abstract Artist & Graphic Designer

Undoubtedly (and unsurprisingly) human connection is the most important factor. The art I make draws inspiration from experiences I’ve had, and when I create something it’s normally from just my perspective. When I collaborate with someone, we are bringing two perspectives to life, and that gives the work a whole new dimension. Success to me looks like satisfied clients, and people love seeing their vision come to life. Read more>>

Rick Trenk | Transformation Coach

I believe that success in any field often depends on a combination of factors, including hard work, dedication, and the ability to adapt and learn from past experiences. It can also be helpful to have a clear vision and set of goals, as well as the support of colleagues, mentors, and others who can provide guidance and encouragement. In addition, having a strong understanding of one’s target audience and being able to effectively communicate and connect with them is important for success. Read more>>

Dori Lewis | Licensed Professional Counselor & Psychedelic Educator

The most important factor behind my success is being authentic. By being deeply connected with who I am and what I uniquely bring to the field of psychedelic medicine and mental health care, I have been able to attract people, both clients and other professionals, who are drawn to my perspective in offering this work. This enhances the success of my clients, the providers that learn from me and those who work with me because we are connecting to the work in a similar way and therefore aligning with the language and frequency of our higher selves/inner healing intelligence.

Grace Kinda | Founder & Chief Mixer

Authenticity. I think that people can feel the intention behind the products I create. The message of Iber! is that you are already beautiful, that skin and body care is meant as a tool to enhance the beauty you already feel within. With this, I am always amazed with feedback that my creations arise the same feeling as I dream for them to be. This experience has kept me energized and inspired to give the best quality of product and information for Iber to thrive. Read more>>

Marpessa Allen | Mahogany Mothers Circle Founder | Community Collaboration Strategist

Mahogany Mothers Circle was created in response to the Covid pandemic in 2020. I myself had just given birth a few months prior. Even as a seasoned mother the adjustments were challenging. My daughter was born in October of 2019 before the lockdown in March of 2020 in state of Colorado. Read more>>
