*Breaking down stereotypes and motivating girls and women is meaningful business for Gretchen Cawthon. She created Girls Can’t What? (www.girlscantwhat.com), an online community and shop where girls and women are working together to tear down stereotypes and pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacle. From being one of the only girls to make it on the 6th grade boys basketball team to learning to walk again at 14 after being hit by a drunk driver, Cawthon is used to achieving goals and overcoming obstacles she was told couldn’t be done. She created “Girls Can’t What?” to share these personal experiences along with amazing stories and interviews from truly inspirational women to help motivate girls to succeed at doing anything. Cawthon also creates fun and hip t-shirts, hoodies and other items that feature girls breaking down stereotypes - everything from taking on the role as a football player to working as a construction worker. 20% of proceeds from the sales of the online store are being donated until $1 million is raised to support women’s nonprofit organizations.
*Jodi Albertini enjoys the sweet smell of success with Scentsy, an innovative company that creates a wickless and flameless alternative to traditional candles with over 80 amazing scents to safely enjoy in any indoor environment. It wasn’t that long ago that Albertini lay in bed depressed with debilitating pain from a connective tissue disease when a friend introduced her to Scentsy. Unemployed at the time, she quickly realized this was a not only a golden opportunity to help herself earn a sizable income for her family but to help other women find financial independence. Within a year, Albertini had skyrocketed to the top sales position in the company, making a six figure income. Even more rewarding to her has been the opportunity to help hundreds of other women create their own successful and flexible home-based businesses. www.safecandle.net
