Meet Melissa Campbell

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Melissa Campbell a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Melissa, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
Everyday I look at my kids and know I want to show them you can do what you love and make a living at any age. Right before COVID, my mom passed away suddenly and nothing seems normal again.
I began keeping myself busy by going to small mom & pop shops, food and local experiences nearby to distract myself and keep my kids active.
Eventually I connected with some amazing local businesses and owners that I loved promoting to my audience and that gave me a huge sense of purpose in my career.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Working from home/anywhere was my goal. I freelanced as a social media manager for a few brands in the beginning. Dabbled in blogging and then focused on digital and content creation for Instagram.
We homeschool our kids year round and wanted to share Minnesota & Midwest family fun that incorporates showing our unique staycations, field trips, where homeschool discounts can be located and of course food!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I had many jobs and small gigs over the years that led me to my current path. I worked in commercial film casting for 13 years and loved the creative elements of being on set. What I gained from that allowed me to push myself into making videos and putting myself out there.

Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?
Gave me the space to make mistakes and never imposed career advice. I would always hear them say; be happy and the rest will follow.
