KSP #36 - Brittni Friedlander is the Queen of All Trades

On today's episode, we have someone who were many hats. She's a pageant queen, a teacher, a jewelry maker, an author for her new children's book, "Puff Saves Paradise," an entrepreneur, and she wears too many hats for me to list out in one post. That's why she's the Queen of all trades, master of none. She might just get into the hat business after this podcast haha. Please welcome to the show, Miss Philippines Hawaii 2022, Brittni Friedlander!
We had a lot to talk about as you can see from the length of this video. We spoke about her experience running in different pageants and the mentoring she's done for Miss Hawaii, her non-profit program called Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead, her new children's book, "Puff Saves Paradise," the problems with the rail (haha), the struggles that teachers go through, what she plans to do in the future after running for Miss Hawaii, and much more. Brittni has accomplished so much now and has a huge list of things she plans to accomplish in life.
HUGE mahalo to Brittni for being an absolute incredible guest on my show today! Follow Brittni on social media and check out all of her businesses below:
