the lovespeaks series Cast Update

Women who do what they love inspire me.

When we do what we love, everyone benefits.  It’s a ripple effect that shoots through the universe and makes for a much better day.  I see it in my spin instructor, my Starbucks barista, my yoga instructor, the Deacon at my church.  When a woman is doing her job and it makes my life happier, I say THANK YOU!

I’m big on compliments.  Women don’t give them enough and we certainly don’t accept them very well.  So let’s work on this!  I’ll start –  I’m dishing out some big old compliments to a group of women, my former co-workers at Harpo Studios, who inspired me so much when I started my business, and who continue to inspire me today as their careers literally are exploding!

A little update on the lovespeaks series cast …

candi carter the view
Candi Carter, former CEO of New Chapter Entertainment, did a lot of talking as a young girl!  She was recently named Executive Producer of ABC’s The View, and is the show’s first African American Executive Producer.  Making history! Way to go Candi!
Dana Hughes
Dana Hughes, co-owner of Danelle Designs, loved putting pen to paper as a young girl. When she is not designing jewelry, Dana is a TV producer and recently won the Chicago/Midwest Emmy for Outstanding Achievement for Magazine Programming as the producer for NBC’s 24/7 City Secrets.
Chantell
Chantel Luxem, Founder of LX MGMT, a talent management agency, loved getting stories from the girls on the playground when she was younger.  Now, Chantel is making the stories of talented women (and men) her business. Chantel is killing it in the talent management arena and #TeamLX is a firm to watch.  Chantel – you truly are fearless!
Bridget Daley, owner of 84Rockwell, a handbag company, grew up a tomboy. Her signature xrossover power bag has put her on the fashion map. And now she can add Publisher to her list of talents, as owner of the Chicago edition of Sophisticated Living, a boutique publication that celebrates the lifestyles of affluent and successful men and women. Bridget has put her tomboy determination to good use, but as you can see, she’s a beauty too! Yay Bridget!
Karen F-1
Karen Firsel, owner of Firsel Media, told her high school teacher she was going to be the next Katie Couric. As an on-air lifestyle expert and brand spokesperson, Karen is living out her high school promise. You are made for TV Karen!
Jennifer
Jennifer Stamper, co-owner of Juniper Boutique, used to style her mom when she was a young girl. During her 16-year tenure at The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jen produced fashion and make-over shows. Now she’s using her Oprah skills and living her dream by styling women in her own shop. Recently named “Best Clothing Boutique on the North Shore” by Make It Better, Jen is a fashion BOSS!
Gia Amoto Miller
Gia Amato Miller, co-owner of The 60’s Beauty Lash, wanted to be Cher when she was a little girl. A seasoned veteran of the beauty industry, Gia has found her niche with lash extensions. As a frequent customer, I book my appointments in advance, because now every woman wants the lash look, and I want to make sure I’ve got mine! Recently named “Best Lash Studio” by Make It Better and “Best of North Shore 2016” by Modern Luxury’s NS Magazine, Gia is making the lash business happen. Well done Gia!
Rose Duong, owner of Kingsbury Street Café, grew up in the restaurant business. It’s part of her family’s DNA. If you want to eat the most delicious, fresh and organic meal, visit Kingsbury Street Café. Rose, your vision as a chef makes me so happy!

Big love to the lovespeaks series cast. You are mentors to me and I’m just happy you still return my emails! Please visit the lovespeaks series for more on these power entrepreneurs. Their love speaks!
