Her Interview

Ten minutes with Kandies

01What do you attribute your success to?

Being courageous even when there was doubt. I still did it and continue to do so. Recently I had a moment of discouragement but took inventory of all the positive accomplishments and experiences this year instead of focusing on the negative.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Do it afraid. Do it broke. Just do it. No excuses. Just do it regardless of whatever you may have.
