Guest: Niel Smosna

Welcome to Episode 6 of Voices on the Wind with host Toby Lyles. He is joined today by Niel Smosna. Niel started out as a teacher from a family of teachers. Until she began her family and chose to stay home to raise her kids. In the midst of raising kids the desire to teach continued to pull and that led to an unplanned business that is now thriving. Join us as we listen to the twists and turns that led to a business that allows Niel to do what she loves and be home with her children.

"We started our business very slowly and very small and grew

it very organically from the beginning. We didn't have lofty goals at first. Our goals were never centered around income. When we made a profit, it was like, wow, that's crazy."
