In this episode, I interview Amy Gillespie, founder of the Campfire Experience, about taking the leap and chasing you dreams! Amy provides advice and words of inspiration for those ready to venture into the unknowns of entrepreneurship and taking on new challenges as a business owner and mother.
About Amy:
Amy Gillespie is the founder of the Campfire Experience, a pop-up glamping rental and experience company with bases in the midwest and mountain regions.
She began and built her career in marketing, advertising, and event planning working with creative agencies and Fortune 100 companies to create memorable moments and standout advertising. In 2016, she took a risk leaving a secure role in corporate America to follow her dream of creating a company that exists to get more people outside. As the founder of The Campfire Experience, she created an analog experiential company that would manifest her dream of creating connection while getting more people outside. For Amy it’s an indescribable feeling to see the joy on peoples’ faces at each event. For her and for her team, this is more than a job: they’re on a mission to delight and surprise guests; to help them re-connect to themselves, to one another and to the environment; and to encourage exploration.
