She Rises

On this episode of She Rises, host Giovanna Capozza interviews Amber Runyon, candlemaker and storyteller. She founded Legacy and Eleventh Candle Co. to bring hope to women in the U.S. and Ethiopia. Amber saw women in Ethiopia being sold to brothels in broad daylight. How do we go from raped to redeemed and move women to a place of wellness? Discuss how you can make a pledge to help victims and survivors. Share the story of the entrepreneurial side of your business. Amber discusses the importance of mentoring and being mentored. They’ve built a team and taken their business from $250 to over $1 million in revenue. Amber now has the ability to know that if she’s not healthy the company isn’t healthy. What Amber is learning and still has to practice daily it’s that one is enough. Discuss the list of values on the Eleventh Candle Company website. The four core values are to redeem, restore, empower, and equip in that order. Begin to dream like little girls again because the world feels really dark right now. Ambe
