ON BUSINESS 
Name a person who’s had a tremendous impact on you as an entrepreneur, business professional or business owner. How and why did this person impacted your life? My mom and my business partner, Robbie Spence.  They are two of the hardest working and most goal oriented, committed women I know. They are both my inspiration.

3 things that we should know about you? 1.  Devoted Mother -  Madeline (8) and Ryan (11) – they are my heart and soul. 2. Driven to be best in all pursuits  3. Love for travel.. I enjoy working hard and playing hard.

One of the most exciting process of our existence is our evolution. As an entrepreneur, business professional, or business owner, what do you think your evolution has been in the last few years? I had the good fortune under the guidance of Dr. Larsen to be an integral part of growing his plastic surgery practice and launching a successful med spa, coolsculpting studio and surgery center.  It’s been an amazing journey.

What one characteristic that you believe every leader should have? When an individual has the patience and ability to teach and share their knowledge, a leader has been born.



What's been your most successful approach in building business relationships? People gravitate towards positivity.. I like to surround myself with positive, energetic, like-minded individuals.  And business relationships then thrive by default.

What are the lessons you've gained that have profoundly shifted your direction in business? Being open minded, trusting my own capabilities as well as those around me, taking risks (within reason) and stepping outside my comfort zone has opened many doors, relationships and opportunities.



What are the few resources you would recommend to someone looking to gain insight into becoming a better leader? Professional advice you received that tremendously shifted your career? Step back and put things into perspective… And at the end of the day, do what really matters
