In this episode we talk with Monica Lewin, serial entrepreneur, world explorer, diversity advocate and former gold medal figure skater on the Olympics. 

Originally skeptical with the modeling profession, she started her modeling career doing some bikini photoshoots and body painting. This gave her the confidence she needed to present herself to the world in new and profound ways. 

Having also figure skated from a young age, Monica became more involved with the LGTBIQ+ community, which has a strong affinity towards the figure skating realm.

Also, as a social media marketer, Monica has established an excellent track record as a founder of Leira Digital, as well as Denver Social Society - providing an outlet for Monica to flex her event management skills. She is also a firm believer in supporting small local enterprises and goes out of her way to hold events at more intimate, locally-owned venues and non-chain hotels.
