Rising Stars: Meet Tiffany Largie of Downtown Phoenix

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Largie.

Hi Tiffany, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
20 years ago I was putting my children to bed hungry. Every day, I hated myself because I didn’t have the answers and most of every week. I just wanted to die truthfully. Everything and everyone around me just reminded me weekly if not daily that I wasn’t enough. There were all these ideas on what I should be doing with my life. Someone was either telling me to go back to school get a degree or to get a license or a certification and none of those honestly made any sense at the moment because all of them dictated that I needed to go and do more in order to become something, or to become valuable.

Someone was even crazy enough to try to convince me that I needed to go get another man. Hard No. That’s exactly how I gotta do this situation in the first place.

It’s once I made a decision to stop thinking small specifically when it came to my story that’s when everything changed. I went from being this angry and lost single mom to Building a handful of six figure businesses and then on to a seven figure business before I turned 30. My business partners were XEROX, Hewlett Packer and Franco Postalia.

In 2015 I sold my business and slowly started teaching the things I knew around sales, marketing and story… the rest is history. For the last decade I have been teaching entrepreneurs, small business owners and the underdog alike how to use their story to build their businesses and their lives faster.

Over the last ten years we have taught hundreds of thousands of awesome people how to build what they want faster and in their own terms.

We have a global community today that I am excited about daily and proud of.

The DO THE DAMN THING®️ BRANDS has given birth to four other companies and we decided to make phoenix the home for them.

The House Of Story
The Story Agency
The Thread Thrift & Made
The Thread Cafecito

All in downtown Phoenix between Adam’s and Van Buren

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not even close. (laughs) I think one of the biggest lies in entrepreneurship or going after a dream is the idea that it should be smooth. It hasn’t been easy at all — I’ve had businesses that thrived and others that failed. I’ve lost tons money, made mistakes, and questioned myself more times than I can count.

But here’s the thing, every challenge has been a classroom. I’ve learned that obstacles aren’t meant to stop us; they’re meant to sharpen us. The hardest seasons are the ones that gave me the grit and wisdom to build what I have today. So no — it hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every lesson.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Here in Phoenix, we’re building more than just companies — we’re building an ecosystem. We have The Story Agency, where we help leaders, authors, and entrepreneurs tell their stories through media, books, and events. We also run creative event spaces downtown, we’ve opened a thrift + coffee concept called The Thread, upstairs is Thirft and downstairs in Coffee. We will be going deep in these areas versus expanding into other industies.

But it’s not just about business — it’s about creating spaces for people to gather, grow, and belong. We want Phoenix to know: we’re here, we’re investing in this city, and we’re building something that’s meant to last.

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
For me, happiness is freedom — the freedom to be myself fully, the freedom to take care of my family, and the freedom to help other people step into their own power. I feel happiest when I see someone finally “get it” — when they realize their story matters and that they have everything they need to build something extraordinary.

And on a simpler level, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by my people, my team, my family, my sweet husband, three girls, good music, and dominoes, food, and rum — in a room full of laughter.

Pricing:

• Our work is highly customized, so pricing varies depending on whether someone is joining us for a VIP day, a major event, or working with us through The Story Agency. But I will say this: investing in your story is the most valuable investment you’ll ever make, because it pays back for a lifetime.
