We had the good fortune of connecting with Samantha Gwazdauskas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Samantha, what do you attribute your success to?
Authenticity. Genuine connections and genuinely wanting to help others.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I built my coaching platform exclusively through social media. It was an incredibly slow build, 2-3 years of it, before things really started working and moving full time. I learned how to budget, wear a lot of hats, and how to be patient & persistent. I now work full time for myself and get the opportunity to influence women to be the best versions of themselves everyday!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m a big hiker – can’t.go wrong with any option ( but I do love Camelback and black mountain – big challenges only!). Golf, if they’re into it – I played in High School and I’m always eager to get back to it! Coffee and breakfast are two of my other favorite past times. Not that I have favorite places, anywhere new is always enjoyable (especially by a pool!).

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents. It’s hard to think of where I’d be without their support!
