Meet Amber Mikesell | Founder & Lead Minister of Suivera
We had the good fortune of connecting with Amber Mikesell and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Amber, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
The most valuable lesson my career has taught me is to embrace and own my unique voice in the world, daring to think differently, feel differently, and behave differently, without craving conformity or attention. It has instilled in me the courage to challenge thoughts, processes, and the status quo, all with the aim of raising the bar and making a meaningful impact.
All too often, we are conditioned to either blend in or stand out, inadvertently losing sight of our own authentic message and purpose. From my experiences over the years, I have come to realize that recognition or acceptance for my work is secondary. What truly matters is that I engage in activities that fulfill me, as I contribute to the world around me. This genuine love and passion create a vibrant and joyful work environment that becomes contagious, inspiring others within our organization. Consequently, our workspace transforms into an uplifting and creatively expansive space that everyone eagerly anticipates being a part of.
I have also learned to embrace risk-taking and challenge the status quo without fear. Complacency should never serve as a justification for allowing a stagnant structure or system to persist without change.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My partner, Austin Uhl, has played a pivotal role in not only my personal growth but also in the remarkable success we have achieved with Suivera. As a co-founder of Suivera, Austin has devoted himself tirelessly to establishing the fundamental pillars of our organization, expanding our outreach, creating compelling content, and contributing to our team. Witnessing his ability to effortlessly assume multiple roles during our initial stages has been truly astonishing, all while seamlessly fulfilling his role as my life partner.
Navigating relationships can be challenging, especially when you embark on a professional journey together. Yet, when launching a pioneering organization that demands countless hours of trial and refinement, having someone like Austin by your side becomes invaluable. I am filled with gratitude every single day for the privilege of building a life and an extraordinary organization founded on love alongside him. The opportunity to share this profound love with the members of our Suivera community is a gift beyond measure, and I am continuously thankful for this shared experience.
