The year was 2011 and I was sitting in night class at the Arizona School of Massage Therapy after working all day as a security guard. Sitting in a beige carpeted room with white walls and white curtains to separate "massage rooms" during clinics I listened to our instructor. Surrounded by like minded people on a path to a new career my mind was blown by the ways our bodies can heal, if given the chance.

Slowly an idea began to form that in my mind would be a home run of a business. I needed to create the "Angie's List" of natural healthcare providers! If I as a fairly smart person didn't know the extent of all this natural healing, what does the average person not know?! Thus began 3 years of learning how to open and run a business. Long story short I had no idea what I was doing and eventually had to let that business go.

The thing is I wasn't done with the business world and began seeking mentors, courses and programs to figure out what I'd done wrong. After a few years getting the principles down, I realized connecting with people was the most important part of any business. This led me to starting my first podcast in 2020, interviewing successful entrepreneurs.

It was during this podcasting adventure I began to realize the great value of all these successful entrepreneurs. Their stories of failure, tips, and strategies that worked planted the seed for the next evolution of my journey.
