One of many reasons I love being a part of Arvest is supporting small business (SMB) success. As a daughter SMB owners and SMB owner myself, the impact of small business to our economy and community wellbeing is profound: 1. There are 33.2 million small businesses in the United States. 2. 63% of the new jobs created between 1995 and 2021 came from small businesses. 3. There are 61.7 million small business employees in the U.S.—that’s 46% of the private sector workforce.

So… I never told anyone, but towards the end of last year, I got a surprise call from a casting producer from Gordon Ramsay's TV show “Food Stars,” a competition show for entrepreneurs focused on food and beverage-related products and services. She loved the idea of Phoode® and asked if I would be interested in competing on Season 2. She also mentioned I could win $250K to invest in Phoode. I never imagined myself in a TV competition, so I was pretty shocked. But the more I thought about it, the more the idea grew on me. Over the weekend, I binge-watched the entire first season 1. I could see myself in it! I produced 2 audition videos and got through to the third round of casting. Unfortunately, I didn't make the final cut. But you know what? The whole experience was eye-opening. As I recorded the videos, I noticed that every time I talked about my business, my face was getting super serious in a way that wasn’t the real me. I didn’t like it. It hit me that maybe I need to think about business differently. So, I decided to start doing more playful things around my business and have more fun with it. I also had to fill out several rounds of very detailed and inquisitive applications with lots of tough questions. That part took me days and alone was worth it because it required a lot of soul-searching and made me answer things I’d never asked myself. The whole process turned into an amazing journey of self-discovery. It felt like a real turning point in my life in many different ways. It confirmed that my business idea is great, and although I am not the TV show competitor material, I know I am suited to be a judge on that show. Season 2 (without me 😎 ) aired last night!
