Sign. Sealed. Delivered. 🩷

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

You can’t say you want to meet someone while staying in the same routine, going to the same places, and waiting for something different to happen.

Change the routine. Take the chance. Give life somewhere new to find you.

This summer marks 10 years of being an entrepreneur.

And honestly… 27-year-old me had no idea what she was stepping into.

I was 27 with about $100 in my bank account and a very clear feeling that the cubicle life was NOT it. šŸ˜‚

So I borrowed money from my mom and sister, bought a spray tan machine, got trained, and rented a 100-square-foot room in the East Village.

No investors. No big plan. No team. Just an idea, a little money, a lot of stubbornness, and a strong need to build something of my own.

Fast forward to today…

I own Bronze515 Custom Airbrush Tanning now in a 1,600-square-foot storefront in Urbandale with an incredible team and a business I’m so proud of.

But one business wasn’t enough.

In 2020, I bought a HORSE TRAILER, turned it into a food truck, and launched Waffles & Whip. šŸ§‡

That chapter taught me everything—about business, people, risk, and myself… and also what I don’t want to do forever.

This year, I sold the food truck and closed that chapter.

Then came business #3.

In 2024, I had an idea:

What if people in Des Moines met in real life instead of on dating apps?

And that’s how Date Me Dsm was born. ā¤ļø

What started as a simple idea has turned into events, matches, friendships, relationships, and a growing community choosing real connection over screens.

Three businesses. Three industries. Three very different chapters.

But the common thread?

Building something from nothing.

That’s what I love about entrepreneurship taking an idea, solving a problem, and creating something people can actually experience in the real world.

It’s messy. Risky. Exhausting. Humbling. And also one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.

Ten years ago, I had $100 and a 100-square-foot room.

Today, I have an incredible community, and more lessons than I can count.

I have no idea what the next 10 years will bring.

And honestly? I don’t need to.

I’ll keep building. Keep learning. Keep taking chances. And keep saying yes to the next crazy idea.

Here’s to 10 years. šŸ„‚

And to 27-year-old me…

I’m really proud of you. ā¤ļø
