“Friends Come in All Shapes and Sizes”

Starting with the Trout as their first design, lovers of the outdoors and former athletes Maria Aller and Andrew Hill were inspired to start shifting shapes to create new animals for sportswear apparel. With a ten-year-old who also loves the outdoors, they created apparel with him in mind, as their first entry into apparel focused on the youth market with activewear long sleeve shirts with UPF50+ sun protection and antimicrobial technology to prevent bacteria growth.

We’ve Gotten a Lot of Inspiration from Our Customers

Like many business owners, they found so much value in listening to the community they serve. Not only has this inspired new designs, it has also led Maria and Andrew to offer adult sizes as well, expanding to provide their colorful fish and friends to everyone.

Hustleburg #54 – Achieve Acupuncture’s Dr. Rebecca Gibbons

Often, people with chronic pain, neuropathy, and a variety of other issues not addressed by their earlier course of medical treatment seek out acupuncture for relief. Dr. Rebecca Gibbons, AP, DOM, RN began her practice, Achieve Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine, to serve those patients who have tried everything else but have had little success, as she integrates her Western medicine background with Eastern medicine strategies.

“Surround yourself with people are going to challenge you”

For many professional services, the focus of their post-graduate education is on the direct application of their study, with business practices and application being an afterthought. Dr. Gibbons shares that her story is no different, learning about the business side of things in her practice and that simply opening the doors doesn’t mean that the patients will start coming in.

As COVID and the pandemic-related shutdowns kept many at home in 2020, Madison Blake started her blossoming bakery, Maddie’s Cakes, as a side hustle, preferring to “start slow.” That intentionality allows her to fully work through each business decision and give each step her full attention.

Whether a cake for your birthday, brownies for the office, or cookies as a gift, everything is customizable and made to order. Additionally, it’s delivered to you, if local. For those outside the Tampa Bay area, you can order a cake for delivery through the website.

“Small Now.. Wanna Be Big”

Growth is most definitely on Madison’s mind, as she takes the steps necessary to grow, keeping the ever-changing business climate and prevailing consumer attitudes in mind. You should expect to see Maddie’s Cakes grow into the business of her wildest dreams.
