Throughout her career, Niki Leondakis has worked to help people maximize their highest potential. She became CEO of the luxury lifestyle and fitness brand Equinox in 2017, bringing with her a 30+ year background in the hospitality industry including 20 years where she served as President and COO of Kimpton Hotels. On this episode, Niki opens up about her first job (a fry cook at Hardees), the time she called Marriott 12 times to find out why she was turned down for a job (then got the position), becoming the first woman to become Food and Beverage Director at Ritz Carlton, why she believes society has embraced feeling good instead of just looking good when it comes to working out, and what her job as CEO of Equinox looks like today.   Congratulations to our No Limits Entrepreneur of the Week: Jennifer Mellon, Co-Founder and President, Trustify Find out more:  https://www.trustify.info/ Want to be a featured NLEOTW?
