Raina and Wendy Dear Marsha

Oh gosh – we have such a long history that our scaling up has organically grown (with ups and downs) over 28 years. We started playing together in a band in Texas and quickly realized we had a magical connection between the two of us. Long story short, we ended up moving to Denver and starting what now is Dear Marsha. OF course 28 years ago, things were different, we didnt have social media so it was Boots on the Ground work! printing and distributing and hanging concert flyers all over town for each and every show, Read more>>

Launching a business is intimidating, particularly for lawyers who often lack entrepreneurial training from law schools and state bars.

The Sweet Spot

I started my business in the summer of 2021. It took a lot of courage but with just a simple logo, I started making my social media pages!

Three months into my business and I had done a pop up market with other vendors, had some local pick-up orders, and was finally getting more recognition in my area! Read more>>

Back&Forward Records is a huge platform that started back in 2018 with just 3 artists. Today, we are 10 amazing artists and that took a very long road of real hard work. We literally started from the bottom, going day by day, taking good and bad decisions and learning from them. I think the goal was (and is) always very clear and it’s about creating and growing every day. We knew we needed to start working on different projects to scale up and show a high-quality concept different than others, creating more than music, but a huge platform. Read more>>

I have been in Business for myself since 2002. When I tell most people that, they are shocked and say “But you look so young!”. I started my business at the age of 17 years old and it’s amazing to see how it’s blossomed. When I was 17, I had the dream of being “One of the Great” hairdressers. It was a vague dream but a dream you’d expect from a teenager. I wanted to be the next Vidal Sassoon or Anthony Mascolo. Read more>>
