Episode #278: Dreams come True with Susana Carrasco

Jan 18, 2024

Mamapreneurs often struggle to make their own dreams a priority. I launched the Mamas & Co. membership to provide much-needed support, community, and resources to mamapreneurs everywhere. Through the Mamapreneur Fund, awarded each year at MamaCon, three deserving winners receive recognition and grants that will help them focus on their dreams and grow their businesses – with one lucky recipient taking home the grand prize of $5000, a full-day strategy session, and a 1-year coaching program.

In this very special episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with this year’s incredible Mamapreneur Fund grand prize winner, Susana Carrasco!

As the co-founder of Diamonds Media Group, Susana offers strategic graphic design and full-service printing to small to medium-sized businesses and organizations. During this conversation, we discuss Susana’s journey in the community and take a deep dive into the Mamapreneur Fund application process. If you’ve ever considered applying for the Mamapreneur Fund, you’ll definitely want to hit play!

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

How Susana prepared for the application process (and what made her stand out!)
Why she was chosen to win the grand prize — and how she plans to use it to grow her business
How her amazing new initiative allows her to give back to her community
