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

Hi Maureen, what makes you happy? Why?
What Makes Me Happy? Immediately, I think of my family: my husband and my son. I feel truly blessed that we are healthy, we are together, we have a roof over our head, we don’t go to bed hungry, and we are going after life boldy and passionately. I’m now in a season of driving 50+ miles a day taking my son whether it’s wrestling or jiu jitsu practices, tournaments, piano lessons, math classes, and so on in the midst of working full-time as executive producer of NW Productions. We even make time to go on family vacations and occasional date nights with my husband. Life is beyond busy. Life is very full, yet this is my most favorite season. I get to hustle at work yet watch my son understand what it’s like to go after your dreams fearlessly.

What should our readers know about your business?

I am the co-executive producer of NW Productions LLC.. I work with my husband who is the founder of the media company that creates and pitches docuseries and produces live shows to the state qualifiers to Miss USA | Miss Teen USA for Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Furthermore, we also produce the annual awards show that celebrates the pageant community at the international level: The Global Beauty Awards show. (We are working on the 6th Annual Global Beauty Awards show on April 30, 2023 at Snoqualmie Casino in Washington state. Here’s a schedule of the two-day event: April 29, 2023: Femininity in Business event hosted by Kristina Kovalevich, followed by the Influencer Dinner and the Welcome Party Sponsored by Lloyd Enterprises Inc. with a Walk Off competition. April 30, 2023 is the red carpet hosted by Lu Sierra, then dinner and the awards show. For all the details, click here: https://www.theglobalbeautyawards.com/tickets/)

What makes our company different is that we are very hands on and our contestants, customers and clients have direct access to us. We value customer care and some say we are like Amazon because we do respond to emails right away.

NW Productions LLC. is about showing people their potential and changing the trajectory of people’s lives with the connections and introductions we’ve made. My husband and I have mentored thousands of people and have personally written hundreds of letter of recommendations. Our company has given cash, scholarships, products, and prizes totaling more than $2 million dollars in our 20+ year history.

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.
I’d take them to Page, Arizona. I’d start the morning at Lower Antelope Canyon (LAC), Page Arizona. You can expect to spend at least 90 minutes exploring and taking lots of photos. I’d go during the off season so you don’t feel rushed. Make sure you also go when there is sunshine as the lights that peak through the canyon is breathtaking. LAC truly is one of the wonders of the world. Afterwards, I’d have lunch at Mandarin Gourmet because the food is good and the service is great. You’ll still have time to explore Horseshoe Bend, which is absolutely breathtaking.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I want to do a shoutout to my mentor Dr. Connie Mariano, who is the former White House Doctor to three US Presidents and author of The White House Doctor. Dr. Connie wrote the foreword of my book It Takes Moxie. I appreciate her mentorship, guidance and friendship over the years. She has taught me to keep dreaming and to never give up. We will be seeing her name in the media soon with exciting projects she’s working on.

In 2005, Dr. Connie founded the Center for Executive Medicine, a medical concierge practice which provides presidential-quality medical care to CEOs and their families. She resides in Scottsdale, Arizona.
