Excited to join this community. My background is in real estate, data, and AI, and I now have the privilege of working alongside my beautiful wife, @Donna Thornton. I am all about helping people expand God's message and impact. Fun fact: I just wrapped up a 52 Churches in 52 Weeks tour, so I have seen a lot of different approaches to Kingdom building. Hope to get to know each of you better.

I'm gonna tag a few more founding members in our Introduction post and then I'm headed to bed, but I just wanna say thank you to all of you who joined me tonight - not only by clicking the join button but also by showing up and chatting and introducing yourself and encouraging each other as we level up...

I’m so excited to be here! I’m Ashley — wife, fur mom to two dogs and one very spoiled cat 😂, and someone who would pretty much always rather be planning the next adventure. My husband and I love to travel, and we have our sights set on becoming full-time travelers in the next 6–9 months. Sell the house, hit the road, and see where God takes us. ❤️ I’m also one half of The Build Lab, which I created with my business partner and friend, @Judy Gudmestad — who’s in here too, so I’ll tag her! 👋 We met through the online business world after both spending a lot of time learning, taking courses, and promoting other people’s products. Eventually, we realized we wanted to take everything we’d learned and build something of our own. That’s where The Build Lab came from. It’s a community for women in the online business world who are ready to bring their ideas to the table, figure out what they want to create, get real feedback and support, and actually build the thing. Even if they’re starting with “I have no freaking clue what I want to build.” 😂 Our favorite phrase is “Look what God helped me build.” And that really sums up what we hope women eventually get to say about whatever they create. I’m excited to get to know everyone here, hear what you’re building, and make some new friends along the way. 💜 And if you want to come hang out with Judy and me in The Build Lab, you can find us here: https://www.skool.com/the-build-lab-2456/about?ref=dcf8fed82b4c49dc9d55ba0b1967050c⁠�
