Magie Cook is an entrepreneur with purpose. Before becoming the motivational speaker and coach she is today, her journey looked very different.

After someone entered her into a local salsa contest, Magie overcame all odds to leave homelessness and a challenging childhood behind to become a successful salsa brand founder. With zero business education or experience, she used a positive mindset, recognized the opportunities that came her way and figured out everything from sales to distribution the hard way – through trial and error. 

We were fortunate enough to speak with Magie to hear about her company’s rapid growth, eventual acquisition and how having a purpose and emotional intelligence played a major part. 

This is part two of our full interview with Magie Cook. Check out part one of the interview first, if you’d like to catch up before this episode.
