Entrepreneur, consultant, and events expert Lorri Lofton (@lorriashly) joins Carrie (@carrie.gillaspie) to share her incredible story with the Candid Crew.


Lorri tells us about her childhood, going to college at the University of Alabama (roll ride!), and the crazy story of how she ended up in Charlotte, North Carolina. She shares how she found a missing link in the market place in Charlotte and how she turned that knowledge into her side hustle, Gracefully 54:17. Carrie wants the deets on Lorri's premiere event, Charlotte Brunch Fest. The women talk about charging what you're worth, seeking out mentors, and setting and pursuing goals for your business. Finally, Lorri tells us what's on the horizon for her and her business for 2020 and beyond.
