Episode Synopsis

Grace Bruins sits down with the ever-inspiring Sara Deacon of 360° Emcee to unpack what it truly means to thrive as a small business owner. Fresh off a year of business evolution, Sara shares her insights on building resilient networks, learning from setbacks, and finding the “smoothest pebble” to stand out—wisdom she now brings to her clients and her new book. Together, they explore the power of supportive communities, the art of emceeing legendary events, and unconventional advice every entrepreneur needs.Sara brings candor and humor to her story, revealing why nurturing authentic relationships is game-changing for business founders and how broad experience is often more valuable than deep specialization.Episode Highlights:02:53 - I'm not a business owner that has found the riches in the niches. I have more of a wider range of experience than a deeper one.03:17 - A lot of newer business owners are not necessarily ready to invest $5,000 plus in something they are not sure is going to work for them.05:17 - Legendary Women in Business has been rebranded from her former event called Warrior Unchained. Warrior Unchained was personal to her and meaningful to her, but it didn't really translate marketing wise to what we were actually doing in that room.06:45 - So I wish I would have known then how important networking is and how important it is to have a community around you who understands what you're doing when you're trying to build a business and understands the ups, the downs, the sideways and upside downs of it. Because it's really important to have support in all of those ways.Grace BruinsLinkedInSara DeaconLinkedInLegendary Women In Business
