“BE in Giving and Generosity. Survey what people need. When in doubt, focus out. It's not about you, it's about them. You're not in business for you, you’re in business for them. You're a servant.”

And this brings us to today’s episode. Katia and I discuss “vision”. What does that term mean in her creative process whether that’s in business, coaching, or any new project? She also gave some insightful tips when working with her husband and how they split up the work in their business and collaborate in a way that makes a very successful team and supportive relationship.

Katia is the face of the company. She shows up for things like podcasts, speaking on stages, and selling from the stage. She coaches people.

Her husband laser coaches. He coaches really high-end CEOs and CFOs and he speaks in places like Las Vegas about cybersecurity of technology.
