Episode 54: Bonds, Business & Big Hearts with Karen Barbour

Karen Barbour’s journey is one of resilience, determination, and purpose. After losing her mother at a young age, she took pride in caring for her father while developing a strong work ethic that would later define her career. She went on to build a successful surety bond business and became a fierce advocate for small businesses, founding organizations like the Alliance for Hispanic Commercial Contractors. But for Karen, success isn’t just about business—it’s about giving back. As the founder of Party for a Cure Corporation, she also dedicates her time and resources to supporting children and adults with neuromuscular diseases. In this episode, Karen shares how her upbringing shaped her drive, the lessons she’s learned, and why paying it forward is at the heart of everything she does.Links for items mentioned during the episode:https://www.thebarbourgroup.com/https://www.nsbpusa.org/http://www.bgnetworkusa.com/https://www.pfac-md.org/https://www.ahcc-midatlantic.org/
