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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: What is your \u201clife motto\u201d?<\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>I wish I could say\u2026\u201dEnjoy the little moments\u201d.. or \u201cLive, Laugh and Love\u201d, but it wouldn\u2019t be true. I spend a lot of time trying to control things around me, which is a terrible habit, but I\u2019ve started asking myself, what\u2019s 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\u2019s at home, in business or in my friendships, the people I choose to have in my circle can have the biggest impact. It\u2019s 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\u2019s one piece of advice you\u2019d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?<\/strong><\/strong><br><strong>GC: <\/strong>Just go. You\u2019ve got an idea, who cares? You\u2019ve got an idea and some action\u2026now we\u2019re talking. It\u2019s easy to find excuses when we\u2019re scared or nervous, but if you can push through that little bit of uncomfortableness, you\u2019ll be amazed what you can accomplish on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow Gia on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/giaciliento\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<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>\u00a0is a creative community of female entrepreneurs established by Coley Arnold and Lindsey Holt, owners of Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market.
