Tiffany Young
Tiffany grew up in California and credits her entrepreneurial spirit to her mom and grandmother who both raised their families based off the tenacity that so often accompanies single mothers. This engrained a strong work ethic and a realization that entitlement is a curse. “Working is a privilege that helps me realize my true potential.” That response has helped her through her college career as well as mothering her triplets. Upon graduating BYU-Hawaii with a degree in English Literature she owned an Elder Care facility. After the birth of her triplets, post-pregnancy events--both fortunate and unfortunate--lead into the development and current role as CEO at Thin Hair Thick. She greets each day with her mantra: The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
