What inspired you to start your own business?

I was inspired by my passion for planning and the thrill of bringing creative ideas to life, transforming visions into memorable experiences.

What is a business milestone or achievement that you are most proud of?

The business milestone I’m most proud of is establishing The Wynning Experience and sustaining it successfully for over 25 years. Starting a business is one thing, but maintaining and growing it for more than two decades is an achievement that reflects resilience, adaptability, and dedication. Over the years, I’ve navigated economic shifts, industry changes, and countless challenges, each of which has made the business stronger and more refined. Staying connected with our clients, innovating to stay relevant, and building a team that shares the same passion and commitment are what have fueled this success. This milestone isn’t just about longevity; it’s about the impact we’ve been able to make and the relationships we’ve built along the way.

What challenges have you faced as a woman business owner, and how did you overcome them?
