What does your typical workday look like?
Lots of emails! I like to have "no-meeting Mondays" because a productive start to the week sets me up for success. The other days are often go-go-go. For example, when looking at my schedule for tomorrow: At 7am I'll get up and ready (I’m quick at that,) then hit the emails for a while at home. At 9am I have a columnist meeting at the publication I write for on the side. At 1pm I have a photo shoot for the cycling studio and my next book cover, then training my new junior manager at 3pm, and then watching our new instructors teach and greeting the riders at Verticity throughout the evening. Fueled by coffee.
Favorite part about your job(s):
Creating something that becomes bigger than me; like when one of my artists plays their first big show or releases new music that deeply touches fans, or when people leave a cycling class feeling stronger.
Do you have any noteworthy (intense, funny, embarrassing, etc) work moments?
I was once driving a van around a farm with Nicole Kidman in the passenger's seat - I took a wrong turn and got us lost. She was so nice about it, but I was so embarrassed!
How do you manage a work-life balance while running two businesses?
If I figure it out, I’ll let you know! Just kidding. Self care has to be a priority, as is relying on efficient systems. I can’t do my work well for my team and clients if I’m exhausted or disorganized.
