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

Hi Margo, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Before I started GoalMine I was in a very dark place. I lost sight of what made me happy or what I enjoyed doing. Then I remembered when I was younger my grandmother bought me this little camera and I remembered the feeling I had when I got it, the content I created when I got it made me realize that my mind is special, the things that I come up with is very much different and it made people wonder like how I created it. I love using visuals to tell a story. I love helping others, that’s where goal comes in and mine represents you and me. I put those two together and created something magical

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
In high school I wasn’t always the brightest. I didn’t always know what I wanted to do. When I was younger my family use to be like “Margo you always got that phone, Margo stop recording me, Margo stop taking my picture” and now I send them those pieces of content I took and they be like wowww memories. When I left high school I had to remember those times because like I said I didn’t always know what I wanted to do but then I remembered how I felt when my grandmother gave me my first camera and how I felt recording and taking pictures of my family and also I how I felt randomly recording videos on a drive home and creating my own story based on a song I like. Then I said yes Margo this is me right here this is my thing.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I have no idea I’m not really a planner lol I just blow with the wind
