37. Overcoming Invisible Illness + Excelling as a Young Entrepreneur w/ MISS PA USA 2020 Victoria Piekut

It's MISS USA Season!! MISS USA 2020 will be held on NOVEMBER 9th
and I will be featuring a handful of state titleholders on the
show!  I am thrilled to host MISS PENNSYLVANIA USA 2020,
Victoria Piekut, on this week's episode. We're having an honest
conversation about invisible illness and Victoria's strength as she
struggled through two health conditions in her youth: POTS and EDS.
Victoria developed courage, resilience and the passion that she
carries in all areas of life. She did not let her health get in the
way of her determination or dreams, however, as Victoria Piekut’s
entrepreneurial spirit flourished as the President of her women’s
fashion company, Wight Elephant Boutique. In 4 years, she has grown
her online business to multiple storefronts with over 20 employees.
She's telling us about her experiences as a young business owner
and delivering 5 tips to get you start in your business!  She
was honored at the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and named
one of “Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest” for her charitable efforts. This
episode is about tenacity, about facing challenge's head-on, and
attacking your goals at a young age. Tune in for this honest and
transparent conversation with our reigning MISS PA USA 2020.
