Taking the Leap and Going All In with Kelly Boyles of Milk House Shakes

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday and welcome back to the Seek The Joy Podcast!  On today’s episode is Kelly Boyles. Kelly won the 2017 Calling All Dreamers Competition in Sacramento earlier this year for Milk House Shakes. Milk House Shakes will feature milkshakes named and themed after U.S. Presidents, combining Kelly's love of milkshakes with her passion for U.S. history.  Kelly is getting ready to open up her first store front in Old Town Sacramento in early 2018 (she's going for Presidents Day - so stay tuned!) Kelly and I met at USC, she was my new member educator when I first joined my sorority. Kelly is one of the kindest, most caring and genuine people that I know - and I can't imagine this opportunity going to a more deserving person.  Kelly went to USC with the intention of becoming a history teacher and she has always loved milkshakes (we chat a little bit about that and Ground Zero aka only the BEST milkshake cafe at USC). When she entered the competition, she initially wanted to open a food truck. Once she entered though, she knew she wanted to go all in.  It's so cool to see her idea and passion come to life.  What I love about Milk House Shakes is Kelly's plan to make the shop a place where people can come and learn more about U.S. history while enjoying a great milkshake. We chat all about entering the competition, what that journey was like for her, and the process developing the Milk House Shakes concept. We also talk about kindness, showing grace to yourself and others, and how staying balanced and grounded is really difficult when you're starting a new business.  To find out more about Kelly and Milk House Shakes you can visit their website milkhouseshakes.com Or visit their Facebook and Instagram  You can check out Kelly's new About Sac Series here  Until next week, ✨ #SeekTheJoy - hit SUBSCRIBE - and it would mean so much if you could give the podcast a rating and/or review ✨💛🎧 As always you can find more information on this episode at www.seekthejoypodcast.com/show-notes You can find us on Instagram @seekthejoypodcast Facebook fb.me/seekthejoypodcast Twitter @seekthejoypod E-mail [email protected] #SeekTheJoy
