July 8, 2021

If you are a mom who is looking to build and grow your business, and you often feel scared of taking the big leap, you are not alone. I know you will love this episode because I am interviewing my ride or die friend Terri Ross, a world-renowned practice management consultant and international speaker in the medical aesthetics industry who spent over 15 years working for Fortune 500 medical device companies.

At one point, Terri had to leave the male-dominated world of corporate to focus on having a baby, but she came back determined to find the gap in the market and fill it with innovation.

So get ready to hear how this single mom turned risks into opportunities and became a tech innovator in the medical aesthetics industry.
