From Addiction to Empire: How She Built a 7-Figure Medical Business

What if your rock bottom… was actually the beginning of everything?

In this episode of Girl, Why Not You?, Jennie sits down with Jamie Maltabes, founder of Infinite Medical Group, to talk about what it really looks like to go from addiction and chaos… to building a 7-figure business and a life you’re proud of.

At 25, Jamie hit a breaking point—battling addiction, eating disorders, and living a double life she could no longer sustain. Choosing sobriety became the turning point that changed everything.

From there, she didn’t just rebuild… she created something powerful.

Starting with a single machine in her basement, Jamie grew Infinite Medical Group into a thriving medical aesthetics business with over 500 recurring members—without a medical background, and without waiting until she felt ready.

In this episode, we talk about:

•  Turning your lowest moments into your biggest breakthroughs 
•  Why there is no “perfect” timeline for success 
•  Letting go of perfection and taking messy action 
•  Building a business from nothing (even when you feel unqualified) 
•  What to know about the aesthetics industry and finding providers you can trust 

This conversation is your reminder that your past does not define you… and you are never too far gone to build something incredible.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve wasted time—this is your sign.

Because the question is—and always will be—girl… why not you?

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hello, hello, friends. Welcome back to another exciting episode of Girl, Why Not You? I'm your host, Jenny Blackwood, and today's conversation is about what happens when you decide your life is no longer going to look the way it has. Because we talk a lot on the show about building businesses, making money, and creating freedom. But none of that happens without first making a decision that you're done settling for the version of life you're currently living. Today's guest is Jamie Maltavas, founder and CEO of Infinite Medical Group, a fast-growing medical practice focused on aesthetics, hormone optimization, regenerative medicine, and whole body wellness. But Jamie didn't start with a clinic. She didn't start with a team. She didn't even start with certainty. She started in her basement with one machine after making one of the hardest decisions of her life, which was to get sober and take control of her future. And what she's built since then is nothing short of incredible. And I cannot wait for all of you to learn more about Jamie today. Today we're gonna talk about turning adversity into discipline, building confidence that actually changes lives and what it really takes to rebuild yourself and then build something big. Jamie, I am so happy you're here today. Welcome to Girl by Victoria.

SPEAKER_00 1:17

Well, thanks so much.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

My friend, you have quite a past. Yes. You are somebody who has truly shown that it doesn't matter the level of adversity that you're going through, you can always turn it into a rainbow, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:31

So, Jenny, my best friend, my best friend says life would be boring without me because I can already tell.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

I've only known you for a few minutes, and after a couple mic technical errors and whatnot, I I could see why she would say that. You are sunshine and rainbows, but I know you've been through a lot to get where you are today. I want to kind of dial things back, you know, go take us all the way back to where things were really hard, and you decided, you know what? I can't live this way anymore. I have to make a change. What did that look like? And how did that inspire where you are now?

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Yeah, absolutely. So um I struggled with eating disorders, um, alcoholism, drug addiction. And then I was, I wouldn't say I was a compulsive gambler because I was pretty successful at it, but I had about with poker, right? And all of it's very, very similar. It's this compulsion and addiction and need more, more, more type thing. Um, so the first thing that um I really recovered from was alcoholism. And at the lowest of my low, I was drinking daily. I was taking Adderall daily in order to be able to complete school. I was getting my master's in global business and I wanted to drink and party, but also knew that I needed to get good grades in order to keep my parents off my back. So I just found that I could do both of those things when I put Adderall on top of my alcoholism. So, you know, the magic, the magic thing. Um magic function. It doesn't last long. You know, it's good for a little bit and it doesn't last long. And it wasn't long until I um hit a bottom. It wasn't a typical bottom, like people will say, Oh my god, I got into a car accident or I lost someone or whatever. It wasn't that for me. I was honestly um just stopping home to change clothes, still living with my parents, age 25. And I had said to my mom, all right, mom, like I'm going, I'm going out. And she just said, I don't care. Like, whatever. And it was just the first time she had ever said that to me. She was always on my back about like where are you going? Who's there? And she was like, if you don't want to get out, I don't want to know where you're going anymore. And a few days before that, I was in her shower, my shower, um, and I didn't have the right amount of alcohol and Adderall in me. So I was what I now know is DTing. I was convulsing. I was red, I was shaking. I didn't know what it was. And all I remember is praying to God and saying, God, if I can't get this under control, if you, if I just want my mom to find out. Like I can't, I can't, I'm so ashamed and embarrassed. I can't go to her and say this. Like, I just need her to know, or please just kill me. Like, I can't do this vicious pretend that I'm this scholar because I was getting like straight A's, but like also living this dark, hiding water bottles of vodka in my car. Like it was this double life that I just could not keep up with anymore. Yeah. And I remember praying to God for either my mom to find out her death, and a few days later, my mother said to me, I don't care if you don't get help. And I remember sitting on her couch and looking out the window, and it was just this couple seconds of pure bliss where I had I had nothing. But I knew that if I went down this sober journey, that everything was gonna be fine. I don't know how I knew it, I just felt it. And I went, she took me to an AA meeting that night, and I never looked back. And that was the beginning of changing my life.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

That is very, very powerful. Oh my gosh. So you is that kind of like that moment in the showers, like where you kind of hit rock bottom?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

That was my rock bottom um internally. Yeah. I mean, because life was a mess, right? Like life was already a mess. Um, but I think sometimes people feel they have to go to a million rehabs, they have to have had active alcohol poisoning, they had to have had their stomach pumped, they had to be in, you don't need to go that far, right? Right? Like you can decide that this is your bottom, and it can be anything.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Yeah, it can look different for everybody. I think what's you know interesting too is you weren't like the textbook alcoholic or you know, drug abuser. Like you were going to school, you were getting your masters for crying out loud, and you were top of my class. It's in, I mean, you know, it's like I think everybody always thinks it looks a certain way, you know, and I I think that it can look all kinds of ways.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

And I think a lot of people think that, and then if you're lucky enough to become one of us and you step inside the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous or you know, NA, you see that they're all different types of people, you know, the big CEO, the father, the mother, the the cheerleader, the whatever, like all people struggle. It's um the addiction is not biased towards age, gender, anything, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:18

Like no, it makes total sense. And I'm so happy that you know those moments happened and that you were somebody who just said, you know what, enough is enough, and I'm turning this around. So can you tell us what did the early days of rebuilding look like for you?

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Yeah, so early days, um, so I'm somebody who thoroughly believes that I will always be an addict. Period. Okay. You just need to figure out where you're channeling it to. And so in the beginning, it was AA. I went to a million meetings, all my friends were AA, I dated the AA guys, I ran the meetings, I made the call, I did all of it. And that's what it was for the first two years. Yeah, I just threw myself into that. Um, and because of that, I learned so much and I was able to unfortunately I'm not really in touch with any of them anymore, but I was able to create this circle of people. So it wasn't just me fighting myself every day to like not drink or jug. It was like, well, if I don't show up to the meeting, like John's gonna call me and you know, or like Sandy's gonna know, and like all those things. Yeah. Yeah. And all of my friends weren't doing it at that time, right? Like, I made friends with these people who don't use these things, so it was normal to not use these things, and that's really how I did it in the beginning. And I remember after, so in the beginning, they say, like, don't change anything else, like just stop drinking. And it's so funny because I like to bring up the fact that that's all I wanted out of life in the beginning at 25 was to just not drink. And now it's like, well, I need a million-dollar business will. Now I need a five million dollar business will. I need this car. It's like I just wanted to be able to survive without vodka. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the top. And so, you know, as we grow, things become better. But I don't, it's just, it's just crazy. Um, so yeah, so I got so I got sober. Um, my all my friends were AA the first two years, and then I really got into exercise. And it was still struggling with food because, you know, just because you take away one problem doesn't mean the other problem goes away. But I started getting into exercise. And downstairs there was a boot camp, and it was called Strive Bootcamp. And I would go to the AA meeting and then I would go downstairs to Strive Bootcamp, and I started channeling, taking some of my addiction from that and putting it into working out and like getting healthy. And that's really what the beginning was for me. It was just those two things.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

That's, you know, I mean, I like that you were able to channel it into something that was a healthier addiction. Like you said, I mean, when you have an addictive personality, you get addicted to all kinds of things, but you're now putting it into something that is, you know, going to help you become successful, that is going to get you healthy, all the same. So, do you feel like that's when you started to feel like clarity come through of like, okay, like what showed you and guided you to what your next steps would become?

SPEAKER_00 9:10

You know what? No, I don't feel like there was clarity because I remember thinking, like, okay, so now I'm sober. Yeah. But like all I do is like go to meetings and like talk about drinking. And it's like, what is the point of this? Yeah. I did not get sober to just get sober. Yeah. And so um, I honestly I'm 41 almost. I don't think clarity came till about last year. I think I was really lost for a really long time. And it wasn't until I'd built my business that I'm like, I've arrived. This is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. I wake up happy, like I love everything about what I'm doing in my life right now. But I think I was lost for a really long time. And I think that women in their 30s are like, I'm supposed to have it all figured out. Like my mom already had three kids at this time and the house, the marriage. And it's like, nobody, you're on your own time journey, right? Like the perfect time for you could be any time. There's people I know that didn't know what they didn't want to do with their life until they're 65, you know, and then winning this billion-dollar business. So you just never know. But I just figured that out, Jenny.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Well, I it's just exciting that you have, you know, and you're really a true representation of there is no timeline. There's no perfect timeline, there's no perfect day, month, week, year. Like it's just when you're ready. You get to that point and you know it. So let's talk about your business. You started it in your basement with one machine. So, what did that actually look like? What was the machine? What were you doing in that basement? M sculpts. Have you ever heard of M sculpts? I have heard of M sculpt.

SPEAKER_00 10:38

I would like to try that actually. Yeah, so muscle, you'll have to come. Okay. So muscle building fat loss technology. What happened was I called a place to decide I wanted to do my absomic glutes, like summer was coming up, and I did a bunch of research and they recommended four sessions on each. That was the minimum. And I'm like, okay, like I can invest in that. Six thousand dollars they wanted. I was like, mm-hmm. No, there has to be a better way. So um, after tons and tons and tons of research and some shadiness, I got a device. There you go. I got a device and I set up my basement. Like I had a massage table and I put a TV and like all things about what M Sculpt was, and I literally just turned it into a little side hustle. And it got pretty big. Like I didn't spend any money in marketing in the beginning. I was just going on like joining Facebook mom groups and like posting I was doing this and writing, like, look, all of these places are charging$7.99 a session, but I'm gonna charge you$2.99 a session and you're gonna get the same device, right? And so I would I did all of that for about a year, and then my outreach of who I could reach to kind of that was it. It was uh it was done. So I'm like, all right, I'm gonna have to put some money into marketing. And so I did, and I look made a lot of mistakes and I burned through a lot of money trying to learn Facebook marketing on my own, but I learned it and we got busy again and I wound up hiring two girls because I was working full-time at hair clubs. So when people wanted to come during the day, like I couldn't see them. So I hired a nurse and I hired this other beautiful girl, Mackenzie, who I'm still in touch with, and they would come to my house and like walk the patients down and do their treatment in the basement. And it was wonderful and it and it worked out great for everybody. But um, eventually, it I was like, this is not what I'm meant to be doing, working full-time and then having this side hustle. And so Infinite was um infinite was born out of that, out of that idea of because I knew that I could do it now. Like I had already proven, look, I have one device, I've made X amount of dollars, running it out of my basement. This is like some shenanigan stuff, right? Like, if I can get a place and whatever, like I can really do this. And so I was sitting with my boyfriend Dominic and my registered nurse Celestine, who was working for me in my basement part-time, and she's still my head nurse now. She came along for the ride to open infinite with me. And I was like, let's do it. And we're just sitting on the couch, and ever since then, that was it. I remember we walked down the street because we're like, what if we get this place right there? Thank God that place didn't work out because it would have never been big enough. Like you look back and you're like, oh my God, I can't believe I was gonna like, you know, rent this space or think this was gonna work. Everything worked out the way that it should. And um, we found a place and we literally just took off.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

You're such an amazing example of how you can do things non-conventionally. You know, you were like, never before was anything that you had done, getting your master's, everything you were doing, had never been uh wrapped around like something like M sculpt. And so for you to be like, eh, that's kind of cool, and then you saw what a rip, you know, these people are charging these people so much. I could do this, I could do it for less. And then you kind of just decided to become a businesswoman overnight. That's kind of how it happens, everybody. Like, I know that sounds weird, but I think the people that put too much like time, thought, control, everything into a process, you end up kind of just spinning your wheels and it never really comes to fruition a lot of the times, or it takes much longer than it needs to. What happens is you start a business and then you do exactly what Jamie did. You have many iterations to what you think it looks like. And then you open it, you learn, you grow, and then it gives you, right? And then you get more and more of your path that kind of like keeps unfolding. And so that is like such a cool example of that. So, okay, so here you are. Now you're like, I'm doing it. I've actually hired people, I have customers, like I could really expand this. And so you yourself, as you mentioned, are not a medical person. You're not somebody who went to nursing school, you're not like an NP. Like, you're just somebody who had a really good business idea. You were like, How can I make this bigger and better? Then what happened when you left the basement?

SPEAKER_00 14:38

So the way we actually opened is I saw a Facebook ad for medical doctors looking for business partners. And I was like, ding, ding, ding, got the degree. Don't remember much of it, but I have that degree. I can do that. Yeah and had the experience with MSculpt. And so I took a call with this guy named Sean, and what they were offering was to give you a blueprint on how to open a medical weight loss clinic. And now I had been on the GLP ones, it had changed my life. I had shared with you, I'd struggled with food. I had finally found this thing that made the food noise go away. I was no longer struggling with many of the eating disorders I had been struggling with because I just took this little shot once a week and it just made the food noise go away. And I was able to eat and then get full and then get hungry again. And it was just something I hadn't experienced in a long time. And so I was like, oh, I need to bring this to the masses. And so he, I shipped him over a lot of money, you know, with a prayer and a dream. Yeah. And he really gave me the blueprint on how to do it. Now, that being said, it was not this pretty polished version of anything. It was like on Microsoft Word. I'm like, oh my God, like and the amount of work that would need to go into this, uh it's indescribable. It's indescribable. But he was the one who sort of showed me that I could do it and that I didn't need to be medical because he gave me all of the like legal things on what I needed to do specifically in my state in New Jersey. And ever since then, I just realized with anything, infinite or not, if I don't know something, I can find somebody and hire them who does. I don't need to know everything, right? Like I don't need to be, I know nothing about aesthetics. What did I do? I hired the best aesthetic injector that I could find in New Jersey and begged her to come work here one day a week to get her in the door. And then she fell in love with us. And now she's like, so that's what you do. You just thought, you don't need to know it all. And I love what you said before because that's literally how I, that's how I move. I put out B minus work, Jenny. B minus work is the beginning, is the beginning pilot. And then I fix it as time goes. Yeah. But almost everyone I know wants to make, even my team, they're making like a new thing and they want to make it perfect. And I'm like, guys, it doesn't matter. Put it out. We we we fix it later. Because the the little things are so minute and it's getting it out efficiently and effectively first, because you're never gonna know if something does it how it works until you just put it out there and try. You don't need you need to be okay with B minus work in the beginning if you're an entrepreneur. I'll say that.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

Oh my gosh, yes. And knowing that it's never gonna look the way you hoped it's gonna look in the beginning.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Oh gosh, lots of mistakes, lots of failures. Just be okay with it.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

Just be okay with it. And it's okay. I mean, that's life, right? We're constantly learning. And so if something doesn't go right, that's fine. You figure out the solution and you keep getting better. That's the biggest thing. So for you, so you open this aesthetics practice, right? You're hiring people, people are coming in. How big has it gone? So, like since you've started in your basement, talk to us about where Infinite is today.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

So, right now we have close to 500 recurring members that are on a monthly membership that come in weekly for their weight loss injections. Snaps to you, my friend. Oh, and my team. I could not do it without them. Then we have tons of people who are in the middle of body sculpting. So we have now have three M sculpt devices. We have two M-tone devices. We have an Invisored device, a laser hair removal device. Um, so we have tons of other things that people are in the middle of doing. And then we do all sorts of aesthetics with my expert aesthetic nurse, Lenora, who comes here and does our patients, but then also teaches our nurses. And that's something that I love about her and why I was so like adamant about getting her. Because not only is she does the best work, but she loves to learn and loves to teach. And I love people who aren't gatekeepers. If I find something that works for me, I'm gonna tell everybody about it. I'm not gonna be like, oh, I did not, I did nothing. Oh, it's just my natural skill. I woke up like this. No, I'll be like, oh my God, I went to this eyebrow girl. She was so great. That's what we should be doing as women. We should be helping each other. But you know, in today's society, it's like, let's just pretend everything's great and this is our beautiful life, and Instagram is what we no, that's not me. That's not infinite. And so that's the culture and team that I wanted. And she just fit right in.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

I think that's so great. And I feel like what you've built, it really isn't just a business. It's something that actually impacts how people feel about themselves. You're giving so many 500 plus women ways to feel more confident about themselves. I'll be super honest. I started taking terzepatide. I don't know, maybe, and if for people who don't know what that is, that's like a GLP one. Um, I started taking that a few months ago. I had this huge photo shoot coming up. I was two babies postpartum. I hated the way I looked. I didn't feel like I was myself. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna try it. I did a ton of research. There were so many health benefits that I was like, I'm gonna try it. And same thing. Like, I'm on a super low dose, but it's like I've lost weight. I feel better in my own skin. You know, I I see why, you know, I I guess I see why it confuses you that people want to keep those secrets because it's like, gosh, if it works for you and it makes you feel better, shout it from the rooftop with anything.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

That's that's how I see. Girls girl. Always gonna be a girl's girl.

SPEAKER_01 19:44

Yeah, always. We're always gonna be rooting for everybody to be their best self. So people often think that aesthetics are like a surface level thing, but you believe that confidence is changing people's lives. So, like, give us some examples of like what have you seen of some people that have come in to Infinite who come in maybe feeling very unconfident, they're unsure of what you're offering. Give us like a good example.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

Yeah, I mean, as soon as you said that, two patients come right to because I have one uh woman older, Carol, who came here and never did anything. And this is the place to go if you've never done anything. We don't have supermodel front desk girls with perfect hair, perfect makeup. No, we're regular people, you know, just trying to live our regular people life and feel the best in ourselves. We don't have the big lips and the none of that. And so she came and she met with my expertic uh injector Lenora and she did a little Botox. Yeah. And then she came back and did a little filler, and then she did a chemical peel. And like she just keeps adding the things. But the various ways that she walks through the door, I mean, the confidence level is through the roof, and that is something that you cannot put a price on. Like it's it's just amazing. And then that we have had hundreds, hundreds of patients lose 50, 100 pounds. Wow. The way that they walk through the door after they've dropped that weight that they've potentially been carrying around their entire life. Um, there's nothing like it. You know, they walk in, they're very shy, they're they're you know, they don't want to talk to anybody, and then now they walk, hey, you know, yeah. It's just it's amazing. It's amazing. But you know, aesthetics specifically, I have a story about about aesthetics and it changed the way that I think about it. And I was never an aesthetic person. Like I'm not medical like that, and I'm not, you know, into all of the I just really started doing skincare not too long ago. So that tells you how much I'm into it. But so I got microblading on my eyebrows. I don't even, it could have been, Johnny, maybe it could have been almost 10 years ago. It was before permanent makeup on your face was a thing. Okay. There was a place in New York City doing it on Fifth Avenue. I would check the wait list every single day because I had Nike eyebrows because I tweezed them all out in high school because that was cool. And now there was no fixing them. So when they came out with this, I'm like, I need to get in. So I remember one day they got an opening. I called out of work, I went to the city. It was a fortune. Then they wanted me to come back for a touch up, and it was also a fortune. This is a year later. So I'm like, now it's out there. And I'm like, I'm just gonna go on Groupon. The girls already made them. Like, I feel like anybody should be able to color this in. Well, I went to the Groupon place, they put the ink in the wrong layer of my skin, and now I'll never numb again because it's all scar tissue. All to save maybe a thousand dollars. This is my face. And now, yeah. And so anytime now that I'm doing anything to my face or body, listen, groupon's great for massage, restaurant, not your face, not your body. And so aesthetics, I like to point that out a lot. That this is something that's on you that you're gonna proudly wear for the rest of your life. And you really need to, you really need to be careful because I saw the training that they sent um to my new to my nurses too, to get Botox and filler certified. It was one eight-hour course. Oh my one eight-hour course, and now they can put Botox anywhere in your body and filler anywhere. Oh my gosh, why is that so terrifying? Why is it be it's terrible? It's terrible. And of course, they did not do that. They trained under Lenora for a long time and they're still only doing minute things. Like they cannot do the expert stuff is for her. She's the expert, right? Right. But um, it's like the it's the wild, wild west in aesthetic medicine right now. So you really need to do your homework and you really need to be careful. And you need to make sure that their befores and afters are not edited, potentially talk to some patients that they that go there, reach out to them on Instagram. Don't just take people's photos because everything could be photoshopped. And make sure that they actually have been to not just one hour, eight-hour training, but are shadowing other people, doing continued education. Like this stuff is important because there's always going to be new and better ways to do things. And if your injector is not investing in that, I can promise you they're not doing best by you.

SPEAKER_01 23:48

Yeah. Dang, maybe we need to start asking for resumes, ladies, when we go out and get our Botox. Fine. How long have you been doing this exactly? Give them the give them the third degree. So I'm curious to know, how do you feel sobriety helped you shape and run your business?

SPEAKER_00 24:04

I mean, I could not do this drunk, I'll tell you that. But what getting sober did was made me realize that you don't have to like want to do something to do it. And I say this a lot to my team. Like, you don't feel like it. Listen, I don't feel like going to the gym three to four times a week. I never feel like it, but I go because I made a promise to myself that I'm gonna go. And with building this business, it's a constant to-do list. I have a to-do list, I have a running to-do list all the time. And I have whatever needs to get done urgently at the top, and then the later things and the big projects at the bottom. But when I'm not working, I'm working on that. And why? Because I never had to talk myself into figuring out how to get vodka that day or figuring out how to get out or all. I just did it. I had no money, I figured it out. Yeah, you know, I didn't have the connect, I figured it out. I never didn't figure it out. And so anything in my business now, oh, I want to go into this, it's on the list, and I'm gonna figure it out. I'm gonna go to YouTube University, I'm gonna go to ChatGPT. Yeah, like everything is now at our fingertips. And we don't need, right? Like I tell my daughter, my ex-husband hates us, I hope you don't go to college because I think it's a gigantic waste of money. And I think that um I could have done this just with pure grit because I was drunk through college. So we know that that didn't help that much, right? And I graduated the top of my class drunk and on out or all. So obviously, if you just learn how to get good test scores, if you want to learn how to run business, all it is is literal fierce determination. Yes, that's it. You can learn it all anywhere.

That is so true. And like if you don't have the answers to something, you're right. We live in a day and age where every single freaking answer you need is on the internet, it's on Chat GPT, it's on YouTube, it's all these things. So don't ever feel limited by your lack of know-how because you could go out and learn today. You know, if there's something out there, you're like, hey, how do I start this? Just take one step, right? So I think that that is so cool. Something that I have been thinking of this whole time we've been chatting is how does mom feel today, now that she's seen her baby girl go through a lot of struggles in life, hit rock bottom, and decide to make a change. And the change worked not only like kind of, but massively. Like you have had a major turnaround in your life. Like, is she just like tell us about it all?

SPEAKER_00 26:24

She's she's super proud of me. She just stayed with me over the weekend. Um, we're really close. We're really close. And she comes here and gets services done. Um, she's coming to get an exosome my V drip next week, and she's doing a chemical peel and she does her Botox. She's 71 years old. She's she's she's wonderful. Um, she's incredibly proud of me. But I will say that when I made the big pivot to leave um the company that I was with for 10 over 10 years and do this, she was very nervous about it. She was very scared about it. And, you know, I I know she hoped that it would all work out, but she's not a risk taker. And that's okay. You know, she would rather um she would rather just have a set, know what you're gonna make every week, and you're gonna make that for the rest of your life, and you're gonna budget accordingly, and that's that, where I would rather roll the dice, right? I'm a gambler, and like let's see what happens. Right. But I recall that my grandma, who's you know, 92 in the nursing home right now, she was not worried for a second. She was like, she's gonna be fine. She's gonna be fine. She's gonna do great labor well. Yeah, but they're both, they're both really, I would say my whole family's really, really, really, really proud of me. But the most important person that's proud of me is me, you know, exactly. That's it. That's the person that I'm trying to make proud. Little girl Jamie, who you know was stealing quarters for Adderall and couldn't get out of bed sometimes. That person, like, if I could just sit down with her and just you know, say to her, like everything's gonna be fine, you're gonna figure out how to channel this. It's good, you're gonna figure it out.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

Yes. You know, your transformation is truly admirable. I am so impressed by you. I love what you have done. I mean, it's no easy task to start a booming business like this and just to start from your basement and figure it out from there. Like knowing that giving up or any closed door that you hit wasn't an option. Like it's like, no, like I'm gonna figure it out. I can tell that you have that in your personality that you're like, I don't take no for an answer. I will figure it out. Uh, and I think that that's, you know, really uh a massive part of your success, you know. And look at you, you've grown in infinitely. To say you have a 500-person recurring client base is wild. I know.

SPEAKER_00 28:33

I know it is wild. In less than two years, our birthdays are less than two years.

SPEAKER_01 28:40

Gosh, everyone, like this is just such a you know what I love about this? This is a story that's not like picture perfect. It had a lot of messiness involved, and that is like where you get the biggest growth, in my opinion. I think things have to get freaking messy for you to really dig deep enough to make something be as great as it's meant to be. I am loving this for you. I I want to ask you, you know, obviously you're on the girl, why not you podcast? What does that mean to you when you hear girl, why not you and you're you're knowing that a bunch of potential entrepreneurs or current entrepreneurs are listening?

SPEAKER_00 29:14

Girl, why not you? When I like that is what it is. And it doesn't even need to be girl, it's it's just person, why not you? Anybody. Like, I hate to hear people complain about things and not make a change. Like, I'll give you my ear for a little bit, but don't tell me you hate your job four times in a row and do nothing about it. Right. I want anybody listening to this to know that if you have any sort of a passion or a dream, you can figure it out. There is nothing on earth that you cannot figure out, especially in today's day and age. And all you need to do is just, like you had said, take the first step. Yeah, open an LLC today. Go look at places. Where is the product? Where can we make this whatever it is, right? Because there is no greater joy than waking up every single day feeling purposeful and feeling useful on this earth. Because for a long time, even after act, even after act active addiction, when I was working at this other job, was I happy? I was okay happy, immediate, you know. But today I wake up, I'm like, yes, it's Monday. Yeah, yes, it's Thursday. It's never this, uh, dreading for the weekend and I can't wait to leave work. What time is it? That so many Americans just state that that's okay. Like, and it's not. It's not if it's not, I mean, if that's what you want, that's fine. But if it's not what you want, just know that you can do this. And if you can't, you can find someone who can. The like the internet is and social media now, connect. Connect with people, follow people who are doing what you want to do, get into rooms where they're hanging out and just meet people and talk to people and just take one step at a time every single day. I love that.
