William & Justine Griffith
We’re William and Justine Griffith, a husband-and-wife real estate team based in Hutto and serving the greater Austin area. Originally from Oregon, we made the move across the country—twice—before finally settling in Central Texas and buying our first home in 2019. That experience gave us a whole new appreciation for what it really means to find a place to call home. Read more>>

Parker Remig
e first had the idea to open an indoor golf simulator bar in early 2023. Parker had been in Austin for about three years at that time and knew there was opportunity in the growing golf scene. He brought on a high school friend, Bailey, and an old college roommate, Conner (whose wife was pregnant with their first child at the time, helping him come up with the company name). Parker also convinced his brother, Nolan, to move from Florida to run the day-to-day operations of the business. Read more>>

How did angels in the field get started? Well that’s not a story, it’s a testimony. As a single mom of 2 I worked in the medical field as a medical assistant. I always said once my boys were older I would finish up nursing school. Well I did and got into home health. Read more>>
Marybeth Brady
My story started over 20 years ago when I took my first yoga class. And, can I be honest? I hated it. It was too slow, too still, too many “pearls of wisdom.” And Savasana felt like an adult nap that left me anxious and frustrated. And yet something deep inside of me, kept pulling me back to the mat.

Dianna Lora
We started The Secret Lantern because, honestly, we were looking for it ourselves. After moving to Cedar Park, we realized there wasn’t really a space where you could just be, hang out, meet people, play games, discover books, and feel like you belonged without needing a reason to leave after 30 minutes. We wanted to build that kind of third place. Read more>>

Felicia Morales – Venegas
I’m a first-gen Latina with a Master’s degree, but even with that, I didn’t grow up having open conversations about money. In my household and in our culture, you just didn’t ask questions like that.

My story is one I think many people can relate to, not really knowing where you’re going, but trusting God and taking the next step anyway. I’ve walked through a lot of hard things: loss, grief, and the kind of hardships that quietly shape you. But through all of it, there has been a resilience to keep going, and that’s exactly what I’ve done. Read more>>
