hi friend!
we're dangerous creatives!
a community for creative entrepreneurs that embraces a wholehearted approach to business.
Our founder Kristin Sweeting started the Dangerous Mastermind to help creatives go deeper in to the friendships and community, challenge expectations, do things differently, embrace love instead of stress or hustle, and laugh so freaking much we all grow some abs. We hope you'll join us!

Lauren coaches personal service businesses and owns a salon in Nashville, TN. She has worked in many aspects of small business in various industries including distribution, education, business management, the music industry… Let’s just say her career path has been more of a jungle gym than a ladder, which makes her approach innovative and unique.
Her favorite things to do are create career paths, help owners find multiple income streams, price raises and help owners design a schedule, team and work life they love.
When she's not coaching she's overseeing her brick and mortar business, hiking in Tennessee with her family, and watching standup.
