The Flourish Media Conference Spotlights Co-Founder Vivian Olodun on National Entrepreneurs’ Day
“I technically became an entrepreneur when I was told I had to. When I was in college, I ran a fashion club with another student. We hosted fashion shows and other events on campus. After a series of very successful events, the school administrators let us know that the events earned “too much money” to continue banking on campus. We were told we had to spend the money, or we had to open a business bank account off-campus to store it.”

VIVIAN OLODUN SHARES HER PERSPECTIVE ABOUT STUMBLING THROUGH ADULTHOOD
“My guided journal, Stumbling Through Adulthood is a tool to identify dream killing behaviors and confront the reader with the power to decide how he or she plans to move forward. I believe we are all more powerful than we give ourselves credit for, but we mask that power in self-sabotaging behavior that can be corrected. My readers often come back to me saying, “I saw myself in your story and I didn’t realize I can stop doing that.”
