E106 - How Lauren Brown Built a Business by Adapting, Reinventing, and Refusing to Quit
Description
In this episode of Simply Business, we sit down with Lauren Brown, co-owner of Mishalis Events, to talk about what it really looks like to build and sustain a business over time.
What started as a retail food and wine store evolved — through necessity, market shifts, and major disruptions like 9/11 and COVID — into one of Kentucky’s only full-service event production companies.
Lauren shares how her family adapted at every stage, why reinvention has been critical to survival, and how they used one of the toughest periods in their industry to launch an entirely new business line.
This is a conversation about resilience, creativity, and the reality that most successful businesses don’t follow the plan — they evolve into it.
👉 If you’re navigating change or uncertainty in your business, this episode will challenge how you think about growth and adaptation.
