RANDI SMITH

Helloooo and welcome back to the Montana Diaries Podcast, I’m Shayna and I’m so freaking stoked you’re here because on today’s episode we have the lovely Randi Smith, a wedding cake designer and business coach — Randi is an island girl who is passionate about celebrating life's big moments. She’s obsessed with my family, lipsticks, and chai tea lattes. When she’s not working with her wonderful clients, you can catch her watching reruns of A Different World. I do want to warn you all that we had someeeee technical difficulties with internet connections and headphones, which resulted in me asking Randi to repeat herself a lot and she was a frreaking champ about it — hopefully it isn’t too disruptive but this episode is worth bearing with it — On this episode of the Montana Diaries Podcast, we discussed race and diversity in the wedding industry and how wedding professionals can respectfully build inclusivity into their portfolios, how Randi built her business, and how she’s helping other wedding pros become as profitable as she is. This is a must listen!
