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. She talked about how important intellectual stimulation is to her, and how that has shaped her own business models. Karolyn and Kristie talk about long-term their connection, the importance of having people in your life who can compassionately shine a light on your blindspots and the value of authentic connection as you navigate through life.
