Purple Passion-preneurs: Derek & Rhiannon Eddy of Purple Orchid Resort, Part 1

Derek and Rhiannon Eddy are serial entrepreneurs who got into the resort business—without ever having been in the resort business. College sweethearts with a diehard streak for starting businesses, they have long been focused on the wedding niche—and the resort is part of it. They used to have a wedding photography business in Las Vegas. We’re going to hear some surprising insights into what it means to give some room to your entrepreneurial spouse. We’re going to hear about having a passion for a business that isn’t for everyone. What’s it like for you and your kids to live and work, sleep and eat at your job? What happens when you’ve booked a big wedding and the power has gone out? Hint: it leads to all kinds of interesting community cooperation. And what’s it like to be on a big reality TV show—and how much appeal can you really have when you aren’t the couple who fights all the time?
