In September of 2015, we had our very first live Flourish & Thrive Academy event. It was the first time I was speaking live and, you can imagine, I was anxious and relieved by the time the big day arrived. The event, which was a live extension of our mastermind program, wasn’t open to the public and we had a really amazing group of about thirty people in a small space in Soho in New York.

It such an exciting experience that we wanted to take an episode to share with you our biggest takeaways from the event. Let’s get started!

My passion for design started as a child. I dreamed of creating wedding gowns and growing up, was always an artist in some respect. When I took my first jewelry fabrication class as a college elective, the seed was planted. My instructor became my mentor.

The rest is history. I started my first jewelry business as a hobby, designing for bridal parties, friends and families.

In my twenties, I quit my day job to follow my dream full time. That big leap resulted in my first legitimate brand, Tracy Matthews Designs, Inc.
