This episode focuses on how my guest, Sian Teague, made her transition from Corporate America to becoming a business owner. She spoke to me about the decision she made to leave her career as a lawyer behind to become a business owner of two Anytime Fitness locations in a predominantly white neighborhood in Georgia. She spoke about how hard it was being away from her daughter and having her head buried in paperwork as lawyer, working many long nights while her mom spent most of the time with her daughter.

What made her not only leave the profession was her health, which she felt was being prioritized. This alone drove her to put her and her husband's all in making such a huge investment owning their own gym which is franchised across the country. She saw an opportunity to own a gym that would allow her the freedom to spend more time with daughter and make her and her family's health a priority.

She owns two locations where she's not only the owner, but gym member herself. She's a very active and welcoming gym owner who prioritizes having interactions with her members and being very approachable.

She is truly an inspiration to all black women who are looking to leave corporate America behind to become an entrepreneur in their own right. Special thanks to Sian for sharing her story on the show. I'm fortunate to be a member of her gym as well as meet her.
