28 Ann Brown – Saltability Founder on Giving and Creating
You know that saying, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear”? That’s exactly what happened with today’s guest: I had started thinking about this new idea for my spa when Ann Brown popped up on my Facebook talking about the exact thing I had been thinking about. I’m not going to give it away because this interview is so great and I want you to hear about it from her!
Ann is the Spa Director at Spa Shiki, the spa at The Lodge at the Four Seasons in Lake Ozark, MO. She has given back so much to our industry and contributes to the beauty biz world, plus she’s incredibly knowledgable. She’s certified as a nail tech, a licensed esthetician, massage therapist, cosmetologist, and she has a business degree. She is doing amazing work with all of her knowledge, and it’s just so inspiring.
She gave me an aha moment that there are so many opportunities in the beauty biz world, and we sometimes aren’t even aware of all the possibilities. I know you’re going to love this interview. Thanks for listening.
