Q7: Favorite parts - industry
What do you enjoy most about being in your industry? Well, I actually have a couple of industries that I'm in. I would say what I enjoy most about all of them is really helping change people's lives. That could be something really big or something very small.
For example, one of my clients is an international skincare company. Skincare is really important. You find a new skincare product, it can be life-changing. Not life-changing in a dramatic sense, but at a very high surface level, it is life-changing.
In my fitness studios, we're constantly changing lives every single day. Whether that's somebody getting off the couch and working out for the first time, or a new mom who wants to lose weight, or somebody who just needs to change it up.
In the hospitality company I have, we're all about providing experiences. Giving somebody an incredible experience and incredible customer service. So, when I really boil it down, it's changing lives. However big or small that is, that's what I enjoy the most: being able to put a smile on people's faces and add some happiness to their day and their life.
