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.  Want to tune into MISS USA 2020?
