Meet Crystal Foney: Designer, Branding & Marketing Consultant

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

Hi Crystal, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
Interesting question because I’ve struggled with this recently…

Sometimes the entrepreneurship load gets heavy. Working long hours, wearing all the hats and doing all the things, can eventually wear anyone out.

And why do we keep going? This is a lifestyle we chose. We knew building a business wouldn’t be easy. No one forced us to start this business. There’s no one making sure we stay up late or coming in behind us to check our work. Entrepreneurship is an everyday, voluntary choice.

And because of that, I think we’ll often find ourselves asking that question – “why keep going?” I know for me, it comes up every day at around 12am when my eyes are burning from looking at computer screens all day (haha).

But usually after some rest and a little complaining (we all do it!), I soon come to realize that the answer is always the same. The same as the day I took the big leap and started a business – Because I know that it is God’s will for me to bring value to others through the talents he has given me. My business is just the vessel he has blessed me with in order to continue doing that.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

I’m a foodie so my Must-See List would be made up of great food across the city!

In no particular order we would have to hit:

Taqueria Tsunami for some Latin-Asian Fusion

Two Urban Licks for the swanky enviornment

Bar Taco because everybody loves tacos

Nancy’s Pizza because it reminds of home (Chicago)

Juicy Crab becasue it’s all the rave

Bezoria for some great Middle Eastern Street Eats

The Sun Dial to for 360-degree views of the city

Ra Sushi for some funky sushi rolls

Copelands for brunch and mimosas

Yumbii for their mouth watering sesame fries

Poke Bar for a fresh fish salad

Gyro City for authentic Greek food

Flying Biscuit because those biscuits taste like Grandma’s House

Houston’s for the Hawaiian Steak The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My partner in crime, My husband, Airen. His support has meant everything on my entreprenuership journey. He always dreams big enough for the both us and sees the possibilities even where I can’t. He pushes me to keep going and is my number 1 fan!
