What have been the biggest factors that contributed to your company’s growth over the past three years? Social media has helped the company stay relevant in the ever-evolving marketplace. We are able to reach consumers in all parts of the world and market accordingly. By driving a social-influencer-based campaign, we have had the opportunity to work with many celebrities.

What have been the biggest obstacles your company has faced over the past three years, and how did you overcome them? I had to separate my personal feelings from the business. It took a lot of things not going the way I thought they would to realize that it wasn’t the business that was struggling, it was myself! I had to do some deep reflecting to get to the root of the issue, so that we could grow together, separate.

What is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned over the past three years? Not everyone is a right fit for the culture of your business. Just because you have to replace someone doesn’t make you a failure.
