What happens when you mix sisterhood, storytelling, and a sprinkle of entrepreneurial magic? On this episode of Madame Founder, I sit down with Susan Turnock and Heather Arak—the dynamic sister duo behind GGL Creative, the masterminds behind some of the most unforgettable corporate gifts and brand experiences on the planet! Corporate gifting has been around for ages, but they revolutionized it! If you get a gift, they designed... you KNOW IT! This is why powerhouse names like Disney, NASCAR, Sandals, and Coca-Cola trust them when it is time to stand out.
Listen in as we talk about building a family-first business, crafting moments of surprise and delight, and how they went from selling milkshakes at “airplane meets” (yep, you read that right) to designing immersive, jaw-dropping experiences. Like children do when they sit around the campfire and listen to “ghost stories”, these two are so inspiring and so creative, you just want to lean into their story!
Whether you’re a brand builder, a gift-giving enthusiast, a creative who wants to transform a good idea into something more, or someone who just loves a good entrepreneurial success story, this one’s for you!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
