In this episode, we sit down with Cynthia Jaquez of Always Kind to unpack how she grew a six-figure coffee cart business from her phone—and closed a $55,000 event deal while watching her kids play at the beach.

You’ll learn the pricing strategy that helped Cynthia double revenue with fewer events, how she books premium clients without paid ads, and why social media—not SEO—was her first growth engine. If you’ve ever wrestled with what to charge, how to grow without burning out, or how to juggle family and entrepreneurship, this one’s for you.

We cover luxury positioning, quoting psychology, mobile ops systems, and what it really takes to scale a high-end events business in today’s market. Cynthia’s journey is proof that you don’t need a big team, fancy gear, or investor cash—you just need clarity, confidence, and the courage to charge what you're worth.
