The Mapuana Reed Show
SUMMARY:
In this episode, we sit down with Michelle Carmack, the founder and owner of Savon, an innovative event company that offers unique programs for women, an event venue, and destination management services. Savon is home to Oak and Pine, a thriving community for local female entrepreneurs, and Work Tribe, a supportive network for working moms. Michelle's journey began with Oak and Pine before establishing a physical space, attributing her success to the power of community. Savon provides a nurturing environment for women to connect, learn, and grow their businesses. Despite challenges in marketing and sales, Michelle remains dedicated to spreading Savon's message and breaking through the noise. With a goal of reaching 500 members, Savon aims to host a three-day offsite celebration featuring keynote speakers and pop-ups for product and service-based businesses. We discuss the impact of imposter syndrome on entrepreneurs and the importance of a supportive community in overcoming challenges.
