About Me

Lois Wyant grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where faith, creativity, and entrepreneurship shaped her from the start. As the oldest of three in a bustling home—her mother ran a daycare for twenty children—Lois learned patience, organization, and leadership early. Creativity came naturally. She excelled in crafts and art, earning blue ribbons and “Best of Show” honors through 4-H. Her art teacher and her calm, faithful father inspired her belief that kindness and creativity could build something lasting.

Her entrepreneurial spark ignited in high school when she joined a cake-decorating club—what she calls a “God thing.” After making one wedding cake for a family friend, business quickly boomed. By her teens, Lois was managing orders, matching colors, and juggling clients with grace. When a cake once toppled en route to a wedding, she rebuilt it in record time—an early lesson in problem-solving under pressure.

In college, Lois found her voice through theater and leadership roles. Once shy, she led student workshops and campus fundraisers, earning respect for her calm confidence. Faith remained her compass. Baptized alongside her father, she vowed to always put God first—a principle her husband, Jim, has shared since their marriage in 1984.

After college, Lois pursued her passion for weddings, working in floral design and catering before discovering photography—another divine nudge. What began as assisting a photographer soon became a thriving studio she ran with Jim, capturing more than 250 weddings a year across Indiana. Lois led marketing, production, and operations, later pioneering their first website as photography went digital.

When the business slowed, she pivoted again—this time into digital marketing. Through JFT Web Marketing, Lois helps local businesses grow online with heart, strategy, and faith. She teaches owners to “build a business, not a job,” using SEO, video, and AI tools to create freedom and balance.

Now based in North Carolina, Lois and Jim enjoy gardening, orchids, and time with their three sons and six grandchildren. Through her podcast, The Giant Builders, she shares stories of faith, family, and purpose—living proof that with God first and persistence second, anything can be built to last.
