Today’s guest is Cathryn Lavery, the founder of Best Self Co, a multi-million dollar company that specializes in selling journals, card decks, and online courses. Best Self creates meaningful products and tools that help you create positive change in your life - so you can show up better for yourself, your connections, and the world.
Cathryn originally migrated to the United States as an overworked and underpaid architect and in this episode she shares how she went from quitting her job to starting a company that has in just a few short years, generated over $30m dollars in sales. She shares everything from the mindset that helped her succeed, to how she overcame multiple obstacles from employee embezzlement to leaving a hostile business relationship and coming out ahead.
