We embrace a relaxing, stress -free environment where creativity knows no bounds. In a group setting, let our talented artists guide you through creating a masterpiece of your own. Connect with friends, family, or colleagues as we paint, laugh and make memories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: What is your &#8220;life motto&#8221;?<\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>I wish I could say\u2026&#8221;Enjoy the little moments&#8221;.. or &#8220;Live, Laugh and Love&#8221;, but it wouldn&#8217;t be true. I spend a lot of time trying to control things around me, which is a terrible habit, but I&#8217;ve started asking myself, what&#8217;s the worst case scenario? If I have a game plan for that, then I feel like I can conquer anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: Did you always know that you wanted to be entrepreneur? If not, when did you realize that it was the right path right for you?<\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>From an early age I was always trying to find a better way or another way. I challenged everything and have always loved creating something from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: How do you feel best supported?<\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>A strong team. Whether it&#8217;s at home, in business or in my friendships, the people I choose to have in my circle can have the biggest impact. It&#8217;s continuous work, but completely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: What motivates you to keep going amidst of the challenges that come with being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>When things are hard, I remind myself that if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. A challenge becomes a new goal or opportunity to adapt. Nothing is ever the same, which is a big reason why I love this life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: Describe your perfect Saturday morning.<\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>A fun morning workout with some friends, a giant cup of coffee and then some yummy breakfast with my boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: <strong>What&#8217;s one piece of advice you&#8217;d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?<\/strong><\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>Just go. You&#8217;ve got an idea, who cares? You&#8217;ve got an idea and some action&#8230;now we&#8217;re talking. It&#8217;s easy to find excuses when we&#8217;re scared or nervous, but if you can push through that little bit of uncomfortableness, you&#8217;ll be amazed what you can accomplish on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow Gia on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/giaciliento\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/thebrushbar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> or visit her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebrushbar.com\">website<\/a> for more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-foundress\"><span id=\"about-the-foundress\">About The Foundress<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foundress.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Foundress<\/a>&nbsp;is a creative community of female entrepreneurs established by Coley Arnold and Lindsey Holt, owners of Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market.
