Last week I spent time in wonderfully warm (we swam in an outdoor heated pool!) St. George, Utah (2 hours north of Vegas) and twittered that I’d be interested in meeting up with a few women business owners, Marianne Sorenson, an attorney for Jones Waldo in St. George saw my tweet and our little early morning meeting at Starbucks for cocoa is the result. I captured a bit of our conversation in this video with Marianne, and friends, Darci Hansen Founder of Elan Woman Magazine and Debbie Waggoner, Life Coach. All three of these wonderful and wise women were excited to learn more about Startup Princess and are onboard to be Fairy Godmothers for us, can’t wait to learn more from them and share their expertise with you. We’re also discussing an event in St. George! If you’d like to follow Marianne on Twitter, her username is @happyattorney.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Your story reminds me of the fear I have for a big box retailer approching me to sell my changing clutches in their store. It frightens me and at the same time it seems super exciting!
