We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Kyviakidis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
It honestly happened so fast that I didn’t even have time to really process what I had set my mind to. One day it just hit me that I wanted to be my own boss and never have to answer to anyone again. So I started building my business from the ground up. I kept telling myself every single day that this had to work, and I would be successful. I’m very proud of the business I have built and the hard work I have put in to make it successful. Sometimes we just need to whisper those motivating words to ourselves daily to help us succeed and stay positive along the way! You can. You will.

What should our readers know about your business?
My brands motto is “Be BOLD. Be YOU.” I came up with this motto to inspire others to be yourself and be bold about it. It doesn’t matter what ANYONE else thinks.
I want to be remembered as the girl from the VERY small town in East TN who didn’t take no for an answer on her dreams. I literally started this entire business with MAYBE $100. I had just moved back home from living across the country. I just kept going and growing. I never took no for an answer. I was finding a way to make it happen no matter what. This business has been by far the most challenging thing I have done in my life, but also the most rewarding. To see what you’ve built. It doesn’t matter where you come from, no dream is too big to chase. You just have to start and never look back. Setbacks happen, but don’t give up! That’s how I have made it here.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I feel like there’s so much to do here! I would definitely take them to Fort Worth. I feel like the stockyards are just iconic and a must see. The shopping there is phenomenal, and you know us girls love to shop. Waco to the silos, I feel like that’s a must. Austin is a really fun city that I love. So many cool spots there. You also can’t forget about the Riverwalk. There’s so much to name and so much to do. They’re going to need more than a week here!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I definitely have to applaud my family and friends. They have supported me from the very beginning and never told me once my dreams were to big. They stood behind me in the highs, lows, good times and bad. They have been my biggest supporters and my biggest critics. To this day, they push me and encourage me to continue to grow. I’m so thankful for the group I’m surrounded by.
