Meet Lindsey Graham | Keynote Speaker, Author, Podcast host, entrepreneur and political activist.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lindsey Graham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lindsey, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Somewhere in my young adult life, I started thinking like an entrepreneur. Working for someone else, wanting to have more freedom to grow, expand and do what I thought could be successful, it was natural for me to leave the natural workforce, and start my own business. I wanted to have the individual freedom to think critically in my job and be able to impliment ideas that I felt would be beneficial, without having to answer to anyone for those ideas. Ultimately, it was more about the freedom to TRY new business tactics, whether they worked or not.

What should our readers know about your business?
I have multiple businesses as a public figure. All of them require different talents, demands and struggles. As a podcast host, my goal is to entertain and keep an audience intrigued and involved. I do this by being my most authentic self every single episode. I try not to rehearse anything that I say or do, even the questions I ask. I want my viewers to know that I am learning the same thing they are as they are watching or listening to my guest. Sometimes, being charismatic is actually a chore because I may be tired or stressed, but this part of my job is one of the most satisfying, because I get to give others a platform to share their story. My goal with the podcast is to give my audience information that they otherwise may not have access to; to educate them. Also, to give my guest the opportunity to speak on something they have authority in.
As an author, I am always thrilled with hearing feedback about my book. I love to know that I have inspired or encouraged someone with the story of my life and what God has allowed me to overcome. My book is my testimony and I know that God is using it exactly how it should, ministering to others without judgment or from a pedestal.
My husband and I run two clothing stores: Crown of Country and The Patriot Barbie Shop, selling patriotic and Jesus loving clothing, accessories and more. We honor God by standing by our values in what we sell and print. We honor America by only using partners and people who align with our values and support the same principles we do. Everything is American based.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would certainly go stay at a resort in Scottsdale, where there is a nightlife, pool and relaxation. Brunch every day, a hike, some beautiful Arizona scenery and visit all the finest restaurants and cool ethnic foods! Pool by day and dinner and dancing by night!!

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?
I would like to recognize my mother in law. My mother died shortly after I started my business, and Pam stepped up in support of me, my values and my hard work ethic. She is always cheering me on, supporting me, and also keeping me grounded and focused on my family. Most women struggle with getting along with their husband’s mom. My mom-in-law is one of my best friends!
