We recently had the chance to connect with Erin Young and have shared our conversation below.
Erin, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I get up and make coffee. Then I check and answer my emails. I then write out my tasks for the day so that I can stay on schedule.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi I’m Erin. I’m a cake designer/decorator. I own the small cake business Jazz Bird Bakery based in my home in La Marque, Tx. I specialize mostly in elegantly designed wedding cakes but I also do birthday, anniversaries etc. I love cake and do mainly cake. I also set up a booth at farmer’s markets around town. You’ll find me consistently at the Galveston’s Own Farmer’s Market on Sundays.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My long time best friend Kate. She was always my biggest cheerleader even when I couldn’t see it myself.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
This past summer was really rough on me. I wasn’t sure if all the fruits of my labor were ever going to pan out. I’m still wondering that but things have gotten a bit better.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
Reincarnation.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Not to sound cynical but I always give my best and I hardly ever get feed back on it. If I’m not doing my best, why would I do it at all?
