UtahPreneur - Inside Utah's Most Iconic Businesses
She’s on a Mission to Create 20 Female Millionaires | Queen of Wraps/Heather Barber
🎙️ Heather Griffith Barber helped turn Queen of Wraps into one of Utah’s most recognized print and vehicle wrap companies. What started with her brothers—and a cape and crown—grew into a full-service branding powerhouse with 30 employees and clients across the country. But at the height of it all, Heather made the bold move to step away.
In this episode, we dive into why she left, how she’s building again, and what she’s doing now to help other founders—especially women—prepare their businesses for exit. Heather is on a mission to create 20 female millionaires, and with five companies under her belt (and a new book that just launched this week), she’s well on her way.
We talk about legacy, leverage, family business dynamics, loss leaders, and what it really looks like to walk away from a brand you built from scratch. This one’s packed with practical takeaways and mindset shifts—don’t miss it.
