Melissa Pierce, that’s me. I’m a filmmaker, a risk taker, occasional cake baker and a homeschooling mother of three. Most of my day is spent telling stories, whether those stories are presented through film, on stage, or in a children’s book. My conference presentations interweave stories from my own adventures of learning to parent and produce films on the fly with lessons learned from market leaders, anthropology, and good ole’ fashioned paying attention. My speaking style has been described as passionate, real, tangible, inspiring, and entertaining. If you like me to speak at your event or conference, email me.
