Melissa Wiggins:

So we have spent a little bit of time talking about a lot of the life coaching element. And one of the things that is a byproduct of this program is the impact on your actual businesses. And so Karen, I know we've had a lot of stations that are really you putting your values into your company, right? And really pushing into. And a lot of the time even last week, when we talked about should you do this or that, really me questioning you to create a power in you so that you know what is right for your company. And so I'd love for you to just talk a little bit about some of the byproduct impact you feel since doing Empowered Life and your actual Bar Method franchise.

Karen Marino:

Yes. For sure. Like I said, I know that we keep going back to the values, but using my values in how I run my business has been such a huge shift in my thoughts and just how I go about my day. Obviously connection. Our studio is all about community and connection, not just with our clients, but with my staff. I've always felt extremely close to my staff. And sometimes there was always... Not sometimes there was always. That doesn't even make sense. There were people along the way who said, "You have to keep your distance appropriately with your staff." And I was always like, "It just doesn't feel right to be that way." And there's always those people saying, "Oh, you should do it more professionally. You should do it this way."

Karen Marino:

And this helped me realize, connection being my strongest value, no, that's why it didn't feel right to run my business like that. And I have had staff from the very beginning. This is a small part-time job for my staff and they are wholly committed as if it were a 60 hour a week job. And I know it's because I connect to them at that different level. I care about them. They're like family to me. We enjoy each other. We have fun together, yet they know I have set standards and expectations for them, but I do it the way that feels right for me. And this has helped me lead to that recognition and acceptance with this is how I do it. And of course we all have to adjust and modify and nothing is ever done just the right way.
