Hello friend!

On this episode of The Plannter podcast, I speak with Lauren Alyssa, the creator of the platform, The Gem Collective and online platform The Gem Within. Lauren is a 25-year-old creative entrepreneur with a passion for highlighting, curating, and connecting gems. With a desire to share her testimony and become a difference maker led to the start the blog The Gem Within, Inc. a platform with a mission to connect, inspire and encourage others to live and be the light and change we wish to see. Through her creative community, The Gem Collective, she seeks to create more opportunities for connectivity and respect.

Lauren is a gem. No pun intended. She has used her past to truly fuel her future and creates spaces for others to grow through the love of Christ. Lauren tells us the story behind starting her platform, the steps she took to put it together and how she has found purpose in serving others. Lauren has discovered what sets her apart and she gives straight knowledge on how you can curate meaningful events and spaces in your city. If you have a love for event planning, meetup organizing, or just gathering people for a purpose, this is for you! This podcast will make you dig deep, check your motivations as to why you do what you do and propel you forward to walk out your purpose. Share with your friend who is struggling to start what they have been stating they will start forevaa and someone who needs the motivation to keep walking in their purpose.

Takeaways:

  1. Google has all the answers sway (and Pinterest in my opinion)
  2. Don’t do things for fame, do things for a purpose and be intentional. This builds influence.
  3. Networking in person builds your community so get out there!
  4. How to prioritize whats important based on your goals
