Episode 72: Richard Di Biase and David Moskowitz are joined by Guest Celia Lopez. Have you ever wondered how a background in kinesiology and urban planning can fuel a passion for entrepreneurship? Celia Lopez, a dynamic former athlete who transformed her skills into a thriving business empire. Celia's transition from running successful boot camps to founding Placemade, an innovative co-working space for health and wellness professionals, will leave you inspired. She shares how her unique vision for healthier cities took shape and the pivotal roles that her education and early entrepreneurial activities played in her success.
Mentorship can be a game-changer, and Celia's journey is a testament to that. Growing up in the Jane and Finch community, she broke free from societal and familial expectations with the help of Kathleen, a mentor who believed in her when others were skeptical. Discover the parallels between mentorship and coaching in sports, and learn how a strong support system can help defy generational norms. Our conversation sheds light on the importance of community backing and how overcoming skepticism is a crucial step in entrepreneurial success.
Navigating male-dominated industries can be challenging, but Celia shares insightful anecdotes on overcoming gender bias and finding her voice in the business world. We discuss the critical importance of self-talk, mental well-being, and strong female representation. Hear about the real-life struggles women face, from being overlooked in meetings to needing male counterparts to close deals. This episode emphasizes the need for clear communication and transparency in business relationships, ultimately fostering a supportive network for women everywhere. Don't miss out on this empowering conversation that aims to inspire and equip women in all fields to stand firm in their endeavors.
