Who is Speaking?

TIMMY
BAUER
When he was 17, he wrote and illustrated a book to connect with his 4 year old brother Tristan called Billy the Dragon. He’s been a kids book author ever since.
He is a podcast host, entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Dinosaur House and Stone Crest.
His dream is to make books that connect parents with their kids over stuff that goes beyond childhood. Like in I Want to Be a Marketer When I Grow Up, the goal is that moms and dads who are marketers will be able to read to their kids about what they do for a living in a way that the kids are thoroughly entertained and intrigued.
He thinks everybody with influence should write a kids book.
@melissaleahughes My kids are five and six, so this is where we’re starting! But not everyone is going to like or agree with us and thats okay! And really giving other people permission to be themselves and allowing us to be ourselves! “You dont have to like it because I like it and that’s okay!”

@melissaleahughes Replying to @Just call me NaiNai so many parents do not take the time to have conversations like this with their kids. But one simple conversation like this could be a game changer and helping your kid be more social. And honestly a lot of adults could benefit from this as well. Have these conversations equip your children show them what to do and they will do it! Mama, you got this! #kidssocialskills #momprenuer #positiveparenting ♬ original sound - Melissa Lea Hughes

JULIA BARBARO
Back in 2020, Melissa Hughes lost her job due to Covid. It was the first time in her life she didn’t have a plan. She had no idea what the next step was. She took a job at her kids’ daycare and felt totally stuck.
Then, in January of 2021, God started speaking to Melissa about going online and posting videos. She had no idea about what. She told her husband about it, and they prayed, “God if this is something Melissa should give her time to, would you just make it clear.”
5 days later Melissa downloaded this app she had kind of heard of called TikTok and uploaded a random video of her kids sledding. The next morning she woke up, that video gained 22 million views, and she landed a spot on the Kelly Clarkson Show.
Melissa felt like that was a pretty clear sign.
From that point, she grew her account to over 190,000 followers in her car on her lunch break while working at her kids’ daycare.
Now, Melissa helps women FIND their voice and SHARE their story, passion, or product online so they too can get on the Kelly Clarkson Show.
Just kidding.
but MAYBE! You never know!
