  • “Gab’s insights, not only in business strategy but in living a fulfilling life, are a manifestation of her experience building a successful brand, her innate intelligence, strong sense of interconnectedness, and her heart. Spending time with Gab in conversation, or hearing from her in any way, is always enriching and thought provoking. I’m so glad to consider Gab a part of my [Maine] community – how lucky are we all!”

  • Gabrielle’s forthcoming book takes us on the wild adventure of the making of Mad Gabs, her small but mighty and enduring small business, which is really a story of the making of herself. What a big-hearted, funny, and deeply knowing voice! This is a story of a woman who cleared a path by trusting her instincts and daring to ask for help along the way. Get ready to be riveted.

  • Participating in the Incubating Innovators program when my girls were 11 and 13 years old was such a valuable experience for them. With Gab’s lessons and guidance, they transformed their home-based creative thoughts and ideas into a legitimate business, with sales at local farmers markets and beyond. Gab’s leadership and championing of the girls, alongside the teaching of tangible skills such as pricing/costing, marketing and more, gave them the confidence to believe in themselves at an age when their ideas could easily have been dismissed. This was a very empowering experience. Thank you Gab!
