Iconic jewelry designer Kendra Scott graces our cover this issue and gives us a sneak peek into her dazzling world. With 100 stores nationwide, this respected business leader shares her insights on how she stays centered and focused on family and giving back, all while innovating at the helm of an internationally growing company. In our special ‘Women of Influence’ feature, we introduce you to six local, distinguished women who are leading the way in a variety of different fields – from beauty and real estate to artistic expression, to even fighting crime! I am inspired by each of them and the big ‘whys’ that fuel their businesses every day. In each interview, you will find a unique twist on a recurring theme: a life worth living tends to focus on helping others. And for some Mother’s Day indulgence, we invite you into a private shopping experience at Dubin’s Fine Jewelry. Everyone can find that ‘special something’ for the best Mom ever!
