I am so excited to announce that Stencil1 is in the Top 100 for the Fedex Small Business Grant! A huge thank you to those who voted for Stencil1, it’s because of you that we are in the contest! Thank you! And of course a huge thank you to Fedex for this generous offering, a grant of $50,000 is life-changing for our small business.
Fedex has now asked that I submit a video for round 2 and they asked What is your passion as an individual and as a business owner, and how is that passion reflected in your business? I reflected on this question for a day or two, then answered. I have a passion to be creative but I have a stronger philosophy about my work and life in general and so the answer is not to just be creative, it’s to share, empower and have an exchange with people. I simply make a tool, hopefully a good one that people enjoy using, and then they show me how they have created with it and sometimes I get to hear how the stencils have somehow enriched their lives in some way.
If you want to know more of my business and life philosophies, please leave a comment. I enjoy chatting about it!
Thanks again for all your support and thank you Fedex! And wish me luck for round two, I want to keep Stencil1 growing and building a creative community!
