In 1994, she founded Carol’s Daughter, which is lovingly named for her mother. Initially, she started off with a handful of steady customers. Those numbers grew in leaps and bounds as women outside her neighborhood and circle of friends began to take notice. Lisa has been appointed as a member of the National Women’s Business Council, an independent source of advice and policy recommendations to the president, Congress, and the US Small Business Administration, on economic issues that face female business owners. She’s a mentor, leader, and inspiration, and this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. **** CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST Carol’s DaughterFollow Lisa on Instagram - @IAmLisaPrice CONNECT WITH LUVVIE Follow Luvvie on Instagram - @LuvvieGo to TEXTLUVVIE.com on your phone, and text PODCAST to join our Text Squad.
