Although known for her infectious personality and boundless beauty tips, Tammy is no stranger to adversity. As she walked away from working under a plastic surgeon to create her medspa, it seemed as though one shocking turn of events after the other would surely stand in the way of reaching her dreams. Through this journey, Tammy would discover and embody exactly what it means to be an Entreprenista.
In this episode, we sit down with Tammy Napoli, founder of The Elevated Aesthetican and owner of SkinHealth Studios in Palm Beach, Florida. She shares how she created revenue when she couldn’t treat people in person, how a shocking situation impacted her business, what her process of starting a low-cost but high-impact skincare company entailed, and much more.
“You know, all the things that you need to know and whatever business that you're in, that will set you apart over anything. Being personable will set you apart.”
