More Canvas with Brandi Gregge

Over the past 10 years, Brandi Gregge has founded and grown both a successful medical aesthetics company, Mint & Needle, and an important non-profit for survivors of domestic abuse, Empowerment Beyond Scars. Looking at where she is now—a leader and innovator in her field, a multi-award-winning business owner, a go-getter who is feeling (in her own words) “sexy and confident” in her mission—it’s hard to imagine that her path here was chock full of failure. Pilar and Brandi discuss the importance of constantly re-centering a business around its values, identifying the right people to join your team, and making sure to identify the growth inherent in every failed step.

What is More Canvas Conversations?

More Canvas Conversations is an interview series with entrepreneurs, educators, creatives, business owners, and managers about the interesting ways they balance work, life, and creativity.

At More Canvas, we believe in bolstering the courage and imagination required to create something. For some, that “something” is a product, body of research, or business. For others, that “something” may be a workplace culture, a coalition of support for a mission, or a piece of art. No matter the outcome, the act of creation is central across industries.

Often, as we innovate and iterate on a creation, we eventually need more canvas—more time, more funding, more people, more attention to detail…the list goes on. Through More Canvas Conversations, Pilar and her guests illuminate how to get more canvas when the current frame doesn’t fit anymore, sharing stories and insights from which we can all learn.
