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

Hi Bruna, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
The business started for raise money to pay the equine therapy for our autistic son ( Lucas). At the beginning I was selling for friends and neighbors , but step by step starts to grow more and more.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Our company was created in one of the most difficult moments of our lives. We had just been diagnosed that our son was on the autistic spectrum and so we started looking for all kinds of therapies that could help our son. So we started to sell this product that in our country Brazil is very common. We started selling to friends, neighbors and then our customers increased we saw that it would be an opportunity to grow and that I would have a job where I could make my own hours because Lucas did a lot of therapies. So in my heart I have a dream to form a company where I could employ parents of children on the autistic spectrum so that they could also have a job with hours where no other company would have this availability.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I always take people to camping with us. We love nature , Cycling, make a fire, being in contact with nature. our favorite place to camp is the Disney campground!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First I will dedicate for my son, ( Lucas ) I learn every day the true meaning for having a life with him. Second I dedicated to all therapists who work with children on the autistic spectrum who dedicate time, perseverance and a lot of love for what they do and thus make a difference in families and children’s lives. And last I will dedicate to all support groups that help families sharing information, love and supporting each other.
