WORKSHOP PANELIST SPOTLIGHT: TRAVIS WEAVER

We're just a little over a week away from our Business, Branding & Social Media Workshop. We have an awesome lineup of panelists, including Jordan Breal, Senior Editor at Texas Monthly, Travis Weaver, Owner of Manready Mercantile, Becki Griffin, Prop Stylist and Decorator at Curious Details, and Hunter & Sarah Lawrence, Photographers and Social Influencers. Over the next couple weeks, we'll be spotlighting each of our amazing panelists and giving a glimpse into the expertise they'll be sharing about Business, Branding & Social Media.

Beginning in 2012, out of a small apartment in Houston, Travis Weaver started Manready Mercantile by making soy candles in reusable whiskey glasses and selling them door-to-door to local businesses. He hit every little market possible and continued to add small batch apothecary items, creating a collection of all-natural products. Word of his endeavors traveled and his story gained international attention. Today, his company is considered one of the most influential retailers in United States. He's been featured in Real Simple, Travel & Leisure, Woven and Houstonian Magazines.

Come learn his secrets to success, including his marketing and social media strategies. Travis’ vision has always been to show the world you really can start from nothing and anyone can change their stars. You’ve gotta work hard. Work smart. Be honest. And support your community. If you take the right steps and push through it all, greatness will happen! "Work Hard, Live Well" - T.S. Weaver
