What does it take to turn an idea into something real? And how do you know when it’s time to take the leap?
Meet Brittany, a serial entrepreneur whose career has been defined by curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to ask, “What if?”
From designing fitness equipment to leading Crestliner, an iconic fishing boat brand, Brittany has never been afraid to tackle something new. While earning her Executive MBA at Kellogg, working full time, and navigating life as a new mom, she spotted a problem hiding in plain sight. That spark became Pluie, the world's first self-sanitizing diaper changing table, a product she co-founded, pitched on ABC’s Shark Tank, and helped bring to restaurants, airports, and stadiums across the country.
After recently selling Pluie, Brittany wasted no time pursuing her next idea: growing pumpkins on her family's 100+ acre farm for the booming porch-decorating market. Because for Brittany, there's always another idea worth exploring.
Join us for a lunch that's equal parts inspiration and action. Brittany will share the lessons, unexpected turns, and defining moments behind her entrepreneurial adventures before turning the tables on us.
Through a fun, interactive design sprint inspired by the Google Ventures method, she'll guide us through a practical exercise for taking an idea from “What if?” to “What's next?”
Whether you've been dreaming about launching a business, exploring a side hustle, or simply wondering what your next chapter might look like, come ready to think creatively, challenge assumptions, and explore what's possible.
Bring your curiosity. Bring that idea you've been sitting on. Leave with a clearer path to making it happen.
