It’s near-impossible for me to choose a favorite client, as well as a pointless exercise — I have so many wonderful folks in my life! Plus, I am lucky enough that the line between clients, friends, business associates and vendors (the people and places where I choose to spend my hard-earned money) are constantly and magically blurred.

But if I had to make a list, there’s no question in my mind that Shirley Kienitz, who runs both the Bruiser clothing line and local retail shop Wolfbait & B-Girls, is in the running for Number One. She’s an inspiration, she’s organized and responsible, she’s community-minded, and she practices what she preaches. And she’s very respectful of the role that accounting and business consulting plays in running a successful small business. Plus, she’s even more energetic and relentlessly awesome than I am!

So of course it was a joy to see her interviewed for Six Degrees of Inspiration by Credstyle Films. Take a watch and be inspired.
