About this episode

GiGi Butler shares her inspiring journey from cleaning houses to founding GiGi's Cupcakes, emphasizing faith and perseverance.

"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Gal 6:9 With me is the incredible GiGi Butler — founder of GiGi's Cupcakes and a true powerhouse entrepreneur. We're coming to you from the International Christian Media Convention, and you do NOT want to miss this conversation! From cleaning houses to building one of the largest cupcake franchises in America (125+ locations!) — GiGi's journey is a story of bold faith, relentless grit, and perseverance. We talk about the leap of faith that changed everything for her — the moment she decided to step out and trust God with a dream that didn't yet make sense on paper. She shares what it really takes to build something from nothing, the grit behind the growth, and the "secret ingredient" that carried her through the highs and the hard seasons. And she gives us a glimpse into what's ahead — new books, fresh vision, and an exciting food-focused venture on television! You've seen her on Undercover Boss, The Today Show, Fox, and MSNBC — but today, you'll hear the heart behind the hustle. Buy her books and find more at GiGiButler .com and on social media.
