Ep. 45 Sara Mozingo: Going All In
February 18, 2021
In today’s episode, we learned about Sara’s rare ability to chase her dreams, find solutions while facing the unknown during a pandemic, and creating a business model that is an inspiration to many businesspeople. It all comes to show that athletes are different than most people. The daily competition is a trigger to a more motivated and focused person, especially when you played Division 1 basketball like Sara did. The path might have not been clear right at the beginning of her career in the job market, but she clearly showed that with motivation and perseverance, anything is possible. Sara made a sharp turn when she decided to leave the insurance business and start her own cross fit gym. Only if she knew earlier that cross-fit was her calling… Sara took a shot at the fitness industry while most business owners were afraid of the pandemic, she slowly but strategically created her business model, gained loyal members, started strong relationships with partners, and took her business to the next level. We also learned a lot about Sara’s personal life, but in that part we will let you listen to her own words. All I can say is that she is an inspiration in both her personal and professional life.
