In this episode of 'Work Hard, Live Soft', I share my journey from entrepreneur to CEO, discussing the challenges and revelations I encountered while growing my coaching company, Built to Impact, from six figures to multiple seven figures.
As a CEO, I initially focused on owning the business rather than running it, thinking like an investor instead of prioritizing the CEO's role and setting the vision and values. However, I soon realized that stepping back too much left me feeling bored and the business running but not growing.
Through my story, from misunderstanding the CEO's role to recognizing the need to re-engage actively with my business to sustain growth, I aim to guide you through navigating the dynamics of running and growing a successful business.

I’m so excited to finally launch this podcast and grateful to my team for the push! During my 21-day fast preparing for Impact Weekend, I got clarity on the name and it felt so aligned. I went back to about a dozen posts over the years where I talked about a soft life and I hashtagged them #WorkHardLiveSoft so I could reference them.
I created this podcast because it’s truly how I live. I believe in working hard. I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents after all. But I believe in reaping the benefits. And I don’t believe in overworking.
In this episode, I talk about:
