I met Chrissy Rex of Rex Design Concepts, LLC when she was displaying her Living Ledge products in 2012 at the WISE Conference in Syracuse, NY. I was immediately struck by her professionalism and the coolness/usefulness of her product! Speaking with her for only a few minutes, I knew this was someone I wanted to not only stand behind as a business woman, but really get to know as a person as well.

Meeting a few times over the past two years at events and chatting with her through Facebook and email I have come to adore and respect her! I am honored and excited to watch her grow this business and see how her whole family is invested in its’ success. Chrissy’s dedication to the nearly four-year journey of patenting the product alone is inspiring.

Her responses to my questions below reveal her strength, tenacity, explorational nature, and true love for life and living things. She really “Lives on the Ledge” and enjoys every moment of the journey!

Karen McMahon is a seasoned entrepreneur who started a second business is 2013. She’s been growing ShopforMuseums.com for nearly a decade; the skills she’s developed have lead her to several contracting positions and inspired her to create her latest business, The Affiliate Whisperer.

In her interview here, she discusses how those businesses came to be. Karen also shares her insights into what it takes to be an entrepreneur, and gives us a glimpse into what she enjoys when she’s not growing two different, yet related, companies.

Karen and her husband, Al, champion efforts to care for their neighborhood’s feral cats. They have had several homeless cats spayed/neutered, and have adopted a few that were willing to accept Karen & Al’s offer of love and a warm home. These cats also enjoy helping Karen run her businesses!
