Dana Mahoney, Spotlight on Leaders - Business & Community

Common Leaders

Summary

In this Spotlight on Leaders, I talk to Dana Mahoney, who recently became co-owner of an established Pure Barre franchise in Buffalo, New York.

This episode is *packed* with insight and advice from the new business owner.

Pairing a passion, a vision, and great work ethic are known resources for entrepreneurs successfully seizing opportunities… but what does it look like to do all of that by age 30? Even moreso, how would you get there in a trendy, niche, exercise / dance industry?

A dual major in Communications and Dance, degrees that leave most speechless when family asks “what are you going to do with that degree?,” Dana talks about how her education set the stage for her success in the fitness and business world.

We get INTO it in this episode with this social media managing, dance instructing, business BOSS.
