You probably know her for cupcakes from her infamous The Cupcake Collection. But what Mignon Francois built is way bigger than a bakery. She turned $5 into a million-dollar business. Not with a business plan. Not with a bank loan. With faith. The kind of faith that doesn’t make sense on paper. The kind that tells you to keep going when there’s no proof it will work. And now? She shares that same belief with others—so they can build something bigger, too. In this episode, we talk about: • What starting from scratch really looks like • Why alignment to God’s will for your life matters just as much as ambition • And how her faith has shaped the way she builds, leads, and gives back This one’s for anyone finding their way in Nashville—or figuring out what comes next in their story. Listen in and share with someone who needs to be reminded that it’s not too late.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with serial entrepreneur Kathy Thomas—founder of several successful businesses, wife, and mother—as she shares the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with family life, why she moved from East Nashville to Brentwood, and how her heart for service led her to open Collective615—a co-working space born from her desire to create deeper community for women in business. Kathy’s story is full of purpose, grit, and inspiration for anyone building something that matters.
