Episode76-Interview with Guest Deanna Kuempel.

Welcome to Episode 7—Guest Deanna Kuempel. I had the pleasure of interviewing Deanna Kuempel who survived abuse and Trauma. Deanna will not conform to the label system. Deanna has succeeded in many areas in her life and continues to thrive despite going through hardships, failed relationships, and businesses. Deanna continues to push ahead empowering many through her podcast Label Free. Her podcast and link are below. I loved having Deanna as a guest to give her invaluable knowledge on her experiences and those of human trafficking. The book is called "From Congress to the Brothel" by Linda Smith. I encourage my listeners to read this book to gain insight on human trafficking and how it affects us directly and indirectly. The Month for human trafficking prevention is in January. Every day of the year we should always try to prevent sex trafficking. We should take a stand and get involved. Deanna Kuempel dives into the matter and dispels myths and misinformation about it. I want you to please listen to the episode and share it with family and friends. Become label free. Labels should never define who we are as humans.

Deanna Kuempel: Biography: Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, I embarked on a journey that spans various roles and accomplishments. My academic foundation in Business and Accounting at Harper College laid the groundwork for my entrepreneurial spirit. Before meeting my late husband, I ran a small event planning business and offered personal training services. I honed my leadership skills and entrepreneurial acumen during my tenure as VP of Key Accounts & Business Operations at a $20 million transmission remanufacturing facility, where I simultaneously managed four other entities. During my corporate career, I achieved remarkable success, including closing significant contracts, such as a five-year deal with the State of South Carolina estimated at $20 million, which effectively doubled the size of the business. I accumulated a substantial portfolio of multi-million-dollar contracts and Key Accounts, earning stellar recommendations from esteemed clients like FGA, Verizon, AER, and Dhamer Powertrain. In 2016, life took an unexpected turn, prompting me to start over. Fueled by my enduring passion for fashion, I embarked on a new chapter. I launched Deanna Marie Label in 2017, designing and producing three collections over several years. I successfully ran a Kickstarter campaign, raising over $5,000 to fund my debut collection. My fashion journey led me to prestigious runways like StyleWeek in Rhode Island and the Cadillac Design Challenge with StyleChicago. It culminated with a charitable runway event against human trafficking, which I organized. My foray into fashion also included a skincare line, which was a thriving part of my business until Covid. In 2019, I ventured into podcasting, driven by my personal history of overcoming abuse and trauma. The name "Label Free," coined with the aid of my best friend Julie Bryant, reflects my commitment to living a life free of societal labels. My podcast focuses on conversations with entrepreneurs who lead life on their own terms, offering valuable insights to the audience. Since its start, Label Free has flourished, reaching the top 0.5% globally across various platforms, including 15 audio platforms and YouTube. The power of podcasts in nurturing business growth and brand development has become clear. Additionally, I've served as the former Head Coach & Founding Partner of the Female Podcasters Network, boasting over 2,000 members. I've also been a nationally syndicated personality on a prominent NBC affiliate news/talk radio station.
