Quotes:
“I just thought, let's bring a little bit of LA to the desert.” - Matiana Gregory
“It’s always better to be on the same page especially when it comes to budget. Price is a tough topic.” - Allison Howell
“From day one, even when I started this business in my garage, I wasn’t the cheapest provider. I was always at a good price point because I knew I wanted it to grow.” - Matiana Gregory
“If I'm giving you a discount, you're going to have an entire contract of what you owe me.” - Matiana Gregory
“I think whether you start your business first or you have a family first, that juggling act is real.” - Allison Howell
“I was alone for so long building this dream, and so now that I look around and I’m just surrounded by people... it’s just like the best. This is better than anything it could have been because now I like literally am people’s job. And that’s pretty special to be able to have been able to have created something that makes enough money to invest in people.” - Matiana Gregory
