Cassandra’s Bio

Cassandra Smith, also known as Cassandra the Coach, is the CEO of Blanks Galore - a one stop sublimation shop. At Blanks Galore Cassandra sells crafting products, and helps crafters turn their passion into profit by teaching them how to create multiple streams of income through the online and hands on classes offered by Blanks Galore Academy. Cassandra is passionate about supporting and building generations of sublimation entrepreneurs to be high performing business leaders.

Cassandra started her entrepreneurial journey creating custom items in 2017. In 2019 Cassandra prematurely quit her full time job to pursue full time entrepreneurship. As a result of this decision Cassandra ended up being homeless and living in a hotel for several months. While facing these adverse circumstances, Cassandra refused to give up and continued to build her business.

In 2020 Cassandra’s business had a major breakthrough, which changed the trajectory of her life. Within two short years Cassandra went from packaging orders out of her storage unit, to retiring her mother, and having two warehouses to handle her business operations. In 2021 Cassandra’s business hit million dollar quarters, closing out the year as a multi-million dollar business.
