About Candice Dugger
A multi-passionate entrepreneur, Candice left a successful career to build a life she loves, homeschooling her sons and spending as much time on the water with her family and her son’s service dog as possible. In a house full of entrepreneurs, Candice understands the importance of a strong business plan and the resilience required to be successful as a small business owner.
In the years since she started homeschooling, Candice has become an author, speaker, consultant, and trainer. In addition to Kids Business Academy, Candice runs the non-profit organization Bullied Broken Redeemed, where she and her team educate leaders, parents, coaches, teens, youth pastors, and more through workshops, workbooks, and 1:1 consulting.
Additionally, she helps families deal with the trauma of bullying and build the tools necessary to not only heal but also to combat bullying. Candice is also the Vice president of the Home Educators of America. She says, “I absolutely love showing families how they can use this form of education to prepare their child for the future. We live in a telecommuting world. Why not teach our children how to telecommute their education with top professors around the world?”
