We got the opportunity to ask Lori a few questions:

1. What made you decide to live in the National Capital Region? 
The big city, small city feel with great access and opportunity to the outdoors and all the activities that go with it. 

2. How did you choose your career path?
I knew I did not want to sit at a desk and I like people and interacting and teaching. I taught and coached swimming in my teens. 

3. What does an inspiring life look like to you?
One that involves always learning and being open, maintaining a sense of play, be it through travel or interacting locally. 

4. When your business faces adversity, how do you respond?
Well this is timely. I had to switch up my business overnight to online. So how I respond is through adaptation and innovation and learning through successful models. 

5. What is the best advice that you have been given?
To have gratitude. To always be ok with the plan not going according to the plan. Try something even if it is a little scary, that is where the breakthroughs happen.
