Doug Meadows, Owner of David Douglas Diamonds & Jewelry, says, "We deal with cold metal and hard stones, but it's the people that wear the jewelry that breathe life into the jewelry." When Doug lost his mom at a young age to cancer, he knew he wanted to find a special way to pay tribute to the important role she played in his life. He created "Dazzling Diamonds for Mom," a writing competition for Kindergarten through 5th graders in his local area where students write about why their mom deserves a diamond this Mother's Day. Doug works with the local schools to award three winners diamonds and MANY others semi-precious stones to the participants. It's a real feel-good story that will surely pull at your heart strings. Even better, Doug outlines exactly how YOU can run your own competition, if you feel so inclined.Visit David Douglas Diamonds online: douglasdiamonds.comSend us a text Send feedback or learn more about the podcast: punchmark.com/loupe Learn about Punchmark's website platform: punchmark.com Inquire about sponsoring In the Loupe and showcase your business on our next episode: podcast@punchmark.com
