What's your background and motivation to grow as a business owner?
I moved to Toronto when I was 17 to attend Ryerson's business school. While I was in the city and looking for work I had found a position at a local gym. After being a highly competitive athlete for many years.. my gym success grew and I began my own business personal training and teaching classes. Eventually my company grew.. branching into the corporate sector and spreading across the country running wellness events and creating wellness spaces for some large management companies and corporations.
The drive I have for my company and my clients comes from the change in my day to day activities.. no day is ever the same, no project, no client, no pay cheque. This is what keeps things fun, interesting and driving me to explore all opportunities.
