We had the good fortune of connecting with Meghan Fialkoff and Meagan Ayres Elieff, and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Meagan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
When it came to the original concept of the Modern Day Wife the idea was sparked from the thought of having one specific lifestyle brand that could cater to the many facets of a women’s life. I loved the idea of bringing people together and also connecting them to incredible products and services — the best of the best! The first initial product offering was to create events and I wanted them to be a place for this modern women to gain knowledge and belong to a community that would support her in all areas of her life — career, home-life and relationships.

I wanted the foundation of the business to be fun, inspiring and something so aesthetic that ladies and even their spouses (if they choose to bring them out to an event for date night — we love that!) would find themselves leaving our events or specific community activations feeling ready to make a difference in the world — whether that be starting with themselves, their career, their home, their children or their spouse.

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?
We are focused on bringing the fun, inspiration and networking opportunities that our community offers to many cities across America and Canada and eventually world-wide.

Our main mission is to be connectors and provide a hub that promotes a 360 degree viewpoint on life and having our events and everything we do focus on the main pillars of career, home-life and relationships!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As a visitor myself to the area here are some of my personal favourite things to do in the area are:

– Old Scottsdale & Fashion Square Mall — if you are interested in doing some shopping or even a little window shopping this is definitely the area to do it! Old Scottsdale is filled with many different boutiques and independent stores and you also have Fashion Square Mall close by. This mall has every store you can think of and it’s air conditioned which is perfect if you need to cool off on a hot day!

– Camel Back Mountain Hike – this hike is iconic and definitely perfect for taking in many incredible views. A must on the list of things to do but it definitely is more advanced so be prepared!

– The W Scottsdale Hotel – if you want to pop by for a cocktail or are feeling a pool party vibe this is the place to be. If those things don’t suit your fancy you can try Sushi Roku! Their sushi is absolutely delicious and some of the best that I’ve ever had!

– The Spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess – if you are in need of some R & R this is definitely the place to go.
The spa offers hot and cold plunge pools which is perfect for a complete reset providing you with a total feeling of rejuvenation. Once you are done with your spa services, I love it head up to the private spa pool deck and enjoy some lite bites with a cocktail while lounging pool-side.
