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

Hi Kayce, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
The phrase “This too shall pass” is one of my favorite quotes because of the significance and timeless wisdom that transcends cultural and historical boundaries. It encapsulates the idea that no situation, whether joyous or challenging, is permanent. The phrase is a succinct reminder of the impermanence of life and the inevitability of change.

In essence, the wisdom encapsulated in “This too shall pass” lies in its ability to offer perspective, balance, and hope. Whether faced with adversity or enjoying the heights of success, individuals can find solace in the understanding that life is a series of transient moments, each contributing to the ebb and flow of the human experience.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Professionally, I find fulfillment in a diverse range of activities that align with my passions for community service, my family business, and making a positive impact.

First and foremost, my involvement in community service initiatives occupies a significant portion of my time. Whether it’s volunteering at local nonprofits, organizing fundraising events, or participating in community efforts. This commitment to service not only enriches the lives of those in need but also fosters a sense of unity and connection within our community.

Additionally, working in my family business is both rewarding and challenging. As a key member of the team, I am involved in various aspects of the business, from day-to-day operations to strategic planning. Collaborating with family members to drive the success of our business is not only professionally fulfilling but also strengthens the bonds within our family unit.

In essence, my professional pursuits are driven by a desire to serve others, contribute to the success of my family business, and create a better future for my community. This multifaceted approach allows me to find purpose and fulfillment in all aspects of my professional life, while also making a meaningful difference in the world around me.
