   Juliana Piper: Owner of Piper Mache

   What happens when missing a college test by just two points completely changes the direction of your life? On this episode of the Huntsville Hustle Podcast, Joe Martin sits down with Juliana Piper, Brazilian-born entrepreneur, owner of Piper Mache, co-founder of Madison Mompreneur, and the 2024 Madison Chamber Creator of the Year. Juliana shares how she went from coming to the United States with little more than pocket money and a desire to learn English to building a career around web design, SEO, online visibility, and entrepreneurship in the Huntsville and Madison, Alabama area. But this conversation goes well beyond her story. Juliana explains why a small business website needs to do more than simply look good. She breaks down the importance of website structure, sales psychology, SEO, and the changing way customers are finding businesses through AI-powered search. And if you've started hearing the term GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), Juliana explains why business owners should start paying attention. Juliana's story is also a great reminder that the path to entrepreneurship is rarely a straight line. Sometimes the thing that doesn't work out becomes the thing that sends you exactly where you need to go next. If you're a Huntsville or Madison small business owner, a mom building a business, or someone trying to figure out how to get your business found on Google and AI search, there's a lot to take away from this conversation. Juliana Piper is also the co-founder of Madison Mompreneur, a community created to provide practical support, connection, education, coworking opportunities, and grants for moms building businesses. Listen to the full conversation on the Huntsville Hustle Podcast and hear how Juliana turned an unexpected change in direction into a business, and a community, that continues to grow. https://pipermache.com/ (https://pipermache.com/) https://madisonmompreneur.com/ (https://madisonmompreneur.com/) Support our sponsors!
