This week, Megs sits down with Lizz Bell of @lashdaddylizz — to talk about turning passion, persistence, and a whole lot of “figure-it-out energy” into one of the Midwest’s leading lash academies.
Lizz opens up about her unexpected path from accounting and architecture student to lash artist and educator, how she built a thriving business after moving to a new city with –$38, and why consistency always beats talent.
They talk about:
💡 Pivoting careers and trusting your creative side
💬 The power of word-of-mouth marketing in the beauty industry
💪 Learning from failure and staying consistent through setbacks
👩🏫 Building a team and transitioning into education
📱 Growing without a huge following — and why followers ≠ success
💼 The real difference between making money and building something sustainable
Whether you’re an aspiring beauty professional, an educator, or a creative entrepreneur, this one’s packed with honesty, humor, and hard-earned lessons from the lash chair to the classroom.
