Today we’d like to introduce you to Miranda Johnson.
Hi Miranda, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I sold candy in school, braided my friends’ hair, and used my first word processor computer to make babysitting flyers. I did not have the language for it then, but I knew I would go beyond whatever was expected of me.
When teachers asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I was told my options were limited. I remember saying, “If there is Burger King, I will have Miranda Queen.” I did not fully understand what I meant, but I knew I wanted to create something of my own.
Life moved quickly. I became a mom at 16, a wife at 19, and by my twenties I was the part owner of a successful construction company with my then husband. After that marriage ended, I started over again in my thirties and owned a fleet of 20 semi-trucks with my current husband, running routes nationwide.
Through it all, technology was my constant. Whether I was teaching financial education, selling real estate, dispatching trucks, or managing teams, I was always building systems, creating processes, and finding tools that made things run smoother. I also became an author, writing LeadLoud: 11 Commandments of the Next-Gen Leader and The Pain Principle, both inspired by the lessons and realities of leadership.
Now at 44, I have taken those lessons, failures, prayers, and wins into MiRAjO. MiRAjO Collective is our collaborative business network that connects leaders, resources, and opportunities worldwide. MiRAjO AI creates customized voice assistants in hours through prompt engineering, training them to sound human and work like part of your team. EnLov is our chlorophyll water brand built around the idea that you should treat your body like a plant, starting from the inside out.
My journey has not been perfect, but I have learned to push back, choose my own path, and keep going no matter what.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
If by smooth you mean freshly paved, lined with palm trees, and serving lattes at every mile marker, then no. My road has been more like potholes, construction signs, and GPS saying “recalculating” every few exits. I have worked in male dominated industries for most of my career and had to constantly prove my knowledge and ability. There have been incredible highs with moments of being at the top of my game, leading big wins, and feeling unstoppable. Those seasons also came with the hard reality of cutting people off, losing friends, and watching some family relationships fade because they could not or would not go where I was headed.
At the same time, I was raising five daughters while building businesses, navigating the realities of marriage, and making sure I did not lose myself in the process. The biggest challenge has been my own mind and health alignment. Learning to pause, listen to my body, and make decisions from a place of clarity has taken intentional work. There were seasons where I pushed so hard that I risked burnout, and other seasons where doubt tried to take over.
Those experiences shaped how I built MiRAjO. I wanted to create something without limits, where the people involved understand the work, the sacrifices, and the vision it takes to reach the next level. Every lesson from those highs and lows is woven into how I lead today.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
MiRAjO Brands is home to three ventures — MiRAjO Collective, MiRAjO AI, and EnLov — each designed to create opportunity without limits. MiRAjO Collective is like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn in one, built for collaboration with direct qualified leads, full custom dashboards, and built-in SEO. MiRAjO AI offers fully customized voice assistants, one of the first of its kind from a woman-owned company, trained to sound human and work like part of the team. EnLov is our chlorophyll water brand rooted in wellness and starting from the inside out. All five of my daughters are involved in the business, and every brand is planned not just for solopreneurship but to create real jobs with true living wages.
What were you like growing up?
I was the kid who made friends everywhere — in the cafeteria line, walking home from school, or sitting next to a stranger on the bus. I talked too much, laughed even more, and somehow ended up in the middle of everything. I had big ideas long before I had the resources to make them happen, which meant I was always improvising, figuring it out as I went. Looking back, I was curious, fearless, and just stubborn enough to believe I could make something out of nothing.
