This week, we connected with Kristie Shifflette, the CEO of OT Growth Partners, a leading Area Developer of Orangetheory Fitness franchises. Kristie openly shaed about being unclear about what she wanted to do during college, and how she found herself making decisions in her professional life that took her out of her comfort zone, and proved to be incredible educational experiences.
