I’m so excited to be bringing you another great discussion about Doing Work That Matters.
My guest this week is someone that makes it her number one priority to make a positive difference in the world while having a really great time doing it. I have Michelle Ghilotti with me on the show and she will be talking about dancing your way through life while creating a no apologies brand and business.
Michelle left a job in advertising to create a life of travel, creativity, and freedom. For the past 12 years now, Michelle has been living all over the world while growing her business and enjoying the adventure with her husband and son.
As the founder of Michelle Ghilotti International, she empowers mostly women to create businesses and brands that are infused with personality, values and self-expression. Michelle believes in being bold and living a self-approved life and building a self-approved business.
