YoStella: Build a Better Business - Inspiration for Improving Your Brand, Marketing & People

Each year on Fat Tuesday, New Orleans throws a “Stella and Stanley” party. This annual event honors local boy and world-famous author Tennessee Williams and his masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire.

The movie version is notorious for the scene where Stanley, Marlon Brando in a tight white vest, yells “Stella-a-a-a-a-!” up the tenement stairs to his wife. “Stella” might be the most repeated movie line ever and Brando never needed to act again except, he said, for the money. Like a legendary actor, businesses need to cultivate their craft: building an amazing brand, elevating creativity, and growing authentic connections.

At StellaPop, we believe every business has a masterpiece in them.

As soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I'm running full speed, and that's the way I like it.

I spent 15 years as employee number one, the President and COO for Carr Workplaces, building it into a 30 location multi-million dollar business. Before Carr, I spent 14 years at HQ Global Workplaces, now known as Regus. I was coworking when coworking was executive suites, and now I'm leading the charge into 2025 as the industry innovates to a more flexible office concept.

In January 2015, I decided to join my husband, Mike, as a partner and thought leader on the business management consulting side. StellaPop's primary focus is assisting client CEO's in improving their people, operations, brand, and bottom line.
