We had the good fortune of connecting with Candy Fields and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Candy, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was because I love helping others. Anytime my friends or family hosted an event, I was always the one to make sure everybody and everything was taking care of or I’d help them plan or organize the event. That was my driving force behind creating Candy Productions II Event/Planning LLC.

 

What should our readers know about your business?
The Candy Show is a platform for local talent to showcase their talent. What sets The Candy Show apart is the HOST, Candy! I am mostly proud that The Candy Show has inspired others to create their own show/podcasts locally. While The Candy Show re-established itself in 2016, it was a very slow start. It took the pandemic to accelerate the entire business. The way that I’ve overcome challenges, was to keep going and remember what the initial reason why I started this. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to be patient. The Candy Show is not going away!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My friends know that I love to go walking. If the weather is suitable, we’ll go walking everyday. I love to play some pool. We will go eat and definitely grab a bite to eat and a margarita.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me, offered suggestions, who were willing to take a chance on me, keep me lifted and inspired, and invested their time to support my platforms. I want to especially give a huge thank you to my business partner who has been there since day one.
