Today we’d like to introduce you to Simona Lazinsk
Hi Simona , can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
From a young age, I’ve always believed in the power of resilience and reinvention. My journey began in North Miami, Florida, where I discovered my passion for connecting with people, building communities, and creating meaningful change. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—business owner, author, speaker, advocate, and even Mrs. Florida International 2023. Each role has allowed me to channel my experiences into opportunities for empowerment and impact.
As a breast cancer survivor, I’ve faced life’s challenges head-on, learning to transform obstacles into stepping stones. This personal journey inspired me to write *The Bridge Method*, a book designed to help others navigate life’s transitions with grace and strength. It also fueled my passion for advocating for health awareness and female empowerment—two causes that resonate deeply with me.
Today, I run a successful promotional products company, helping businesses bring their brands to life through creative solutions. Alongside my husband, We own Past and Present Motor Cars, a classic car dealership where we share our love for timeless vehicles with enthusiasts around the world.
I’ve had the honor of being featured in outlets like Katie Couric Media and Orange Appeal Magazine. Beyond these achievements, my greatest joy comes from giving back, whether it’s through mentoring, organizing events that uplift women, or speaking at gatherings to inspire others to chase their dreams.
My mission is simple: to help others recognize their potential, take bold steps, and live fully authentic lives. This story isn’t just about me—it’s about the bridges we build together to cross life’s challenges and embrace its victories.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not at all—smooth roads rarely lead to the most meaningful destinations. My journey has been filled with challenges, each shaping me into the person I am today. I came to America as a young immigrant girl, full of dreams but faced with the reality of building a life in a new country. Life threw me an unimaginable challenge when I lost both of my parents at a young age. That loss left me with a profound sense of independence but also a deep void that I’ve spent years learning to navigate.
One of the most pivotal moments in my life was facing and overcoming breast cancer. The diagnosis was a life-altering experience that tested my strength, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation for life and a renewed sense of purpose. It reminded me that even in our darkest moments, there’s an opportunity for growth and transformation.
Building businesses from the ground up has also been a journey of perseverance. Running a promotional products company requires constant innovation and dedication to meeting client needs. Alongside my husband, I also manage a classic car dealership, Past and Present Motor Cars, balancing our shared passion for timeless vehicles with the realities of a competitive market.
Managing multiple roles as an entrepreneur, author, and speaker while staying grounded in my personal life has often felt like a juggling act. There were moments of self-doubt when I questioned whether I could handle it all. But through persistence, a strong support system, and faith in my vision, I’ve learned to adapt and keep moving forward.
Every struggle has taught me a valuable lesson about resilience, grit, and the importance of staying true to my purpose. These experiences have become the foundation of my passion for helping others navigate their own challenges and build the life they deserve.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
One of my greatest passions as a business owner is helping others bring their ideas to life through high-quality, affordable solutions. My promotional products company specializes in providing economical quality products that make a lasting impression. We offer a wide range of items—everything from apparel and drink ware to custom accessories and gifts—designed to meet branding needs without breaking the budget.
What sets us apart is our commitment to balancing affordability with excellence. We believe that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality to stay within your budget.

Our personalized approach ensures that every customer gets tailored recommendations and solutions that align with their goals. We also understand the importance of meeting deadlines and brand standards, so we go the extra mile to ensure every detail is just right.
When I think about what makes my brand unique, it’s the relationships we build with our clients and the trust they place in us to represent their business. We’re not just selling products; we’re helping businesses create connections, boost visibility, and stand out in a competitive market.
If you’re looking for creative, cost-effective ways to showcase your brand with quality products, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.
How do you think about luck?
Winning the titles of Mrs. Florida International and Ms. Woman Entrepreneur were life-changing milestones that allowed me to merge my passions for empowerment, advocacy, and leadership.
As Mrs. Florida International, I had the privilege of representing my state on a global stage, using my platform to raise awareness about issues close to my heart, including breast cancer awareness and female empowerment. The journey taught me so much about perseverance, grace under pressure, and the power of community. It wasn’t just about wearing the crown—it was about the responsibility to inspire and uplift others, which is something I’ve carried into every aspect of my life and work.
Earning the title of Ms. Woman Entrepreneur was a celebration of my dedication to business and innovation. It acknowledged my entrepreneurial journey, from starting and growing my promotional products company to co-owning a classic car dealership with my husband. This recognition fueled my drive to empower other women to chase their dreams and redefine what’s possible in their own lives.
These titles aren’t just accolades—they’re platforms for impact. They’ve given me the opportunity to share my story, inspire resilience, and connect with people in meaningful ways. I’m deeply honored by these experiences, and they continue to motivate me to lead with purpose and passion.
