EO Member Carrie Ritchie joined the chapter in 2023. Her agency, Good & Gold, operates at the intersection digital marketing, design, and data. As an LGBTQ+ and woman-owned company, they take pride in their strength, inclusivity, and award-winning approach to elevating their clients to the next level. Below is an abbreviated interview between Carrie and our Communications Chair, Casey Keasler:

>What's on the horizon for you?
In the personal realm, I’m all geared up for some adventurous sojourns to Iceland and Patagonia, a much-needed respite and a chance to recharge my batteries. Professionally, Good & Gold is steering toward a path of targeted development spurred by fresh opportunities that promise an exhilarating journey ahead. Here’s to exponential growth and living the dream, one milestone at a time!
 
>How do you unwind at the end of a long day?
After a bustling day, you’ll find me donning the chef’s hat with my budding 6-year-old sous chef by my side and a glass of funky wine and chill music to keep me company. The joys of passing down culinary skills and sharing laughter with my family bring me deep into the unwind.

>Your favorite EO moment so far?
A memory that stands tall is my maiden forum meeting. It was a roller-coaster of emotions, a fusion of tears and laughter, and laying the foundation for connections that have continued to blossom.
