Our goal is to give incredible value and insight to practice owners. So wherever you’re at within your journey, we want to help you take your practice to the next level. So my team and I, we’ve consulted with practice owners all over the country for years, and we want to help you take your practice the next level. And so today, I have a tremendous friend, client, a national, top recognized esthetics provider. I have Amy Lynn from glow Derma and the glow Academy out of Yardley, Pennsylvania. She is a well known injector. I’ve worked with her for a few years now. She’s got incredible stories. So Amy, welcome to the show. Thank you so much,
Cameron, thank you so much for that introduction and for having me on as a guest today. I’m really excited to get into it with you
absolutely. So we were just talking offline about, you know, like, what? What are we going to talk about? How do we want to flow this, you know, what do we want to make sure that that the audience gets out of it? And that conversation was, was just flowing, you know, so well. And so I just want to go right back there. I mean, I look at your bio and obviously, as we’ve, you know, engaged over the years and at conferences and and had conversations with you and your team. First off, I had no idea that you were a er trauma nurse for over a decade. I want to know more about that. And then that’s what Springboard you into esthetics, right,
right, right. Sounds a little unusual, right?
Absolutely. Well, that’s not so much this day and age, but back then, when I decided to take that leap, everyone was like, Wait, how are you going? Er, trauma, and now you’re going into the whole esthetics, injectable space. And believe it or not, my experience as an ER trauma nurse for well over a decade, it really has helped me in so many ways, even though I’m not necessarily doing the same things and services and, you know, different things and saving people’s lives in that capacity, coming into a very busy inner city. Er, but you know the skill set that I was able to acquire along with my team back in those er, days? You know how we how, knowing how to compartmentalize, managing different types of personalities, being able to think quick on your feet. All these skill sets are something that I still do in my practice now, and now I’m able to help them in a different capacity. So yeah, I started my nursing career back in 2003 when I was a baby, and I went right into the crazy er trauma land, which I absolutely loved. I worked in a couple different settings, whether it was community hospital or in a very rapid pace inner city environment. I kind of always preferred the inner city, though, because it was uncontrolled chaos, and my team and I worked weekends while I was raising my five small children at the time, and I was able to manage both being a mom, full time mom of five kids under the age of six, and also maintain a career in the emergency room on the weekend. So it was a great kind of system that I had back then, as far as balancing it out. Because, you know, balance, I don’t even like using that word, because we’re never all in balance, but we try our best to be the best that we can. Right
100% agree, it’s we all want to be in balance. What does that what does that truly mean? I think that, especially in this day and age, like we just get pulled in all sorts of directions, whether, you know, as being a business owner or it’s being a parent or a husband or a spouse, or, you know, a wife, or whatever it is, like, there’s just, there’s a lot going on. And so did I just hear you correctly? Five kids all under the age of six
back then, yeah, now they’re all now they’re all grown. My oldest is in college now, so now they’re 18 down to 12. So, but I did have five kids in six years, so that was my 20s era. Um, all before the age of 30. And, yeah, that. I mean, those days are, they were great. I mean, it’s they still are just different, different things that we’re dealing with. Now, of course, because you have teen, you have teenagers, right? Cameron,
I have one that’s tweening. I mean, she’s but she’s nine, if you saw a picture of her, I mean, I look at her, we just had the saw Santa Claus this weekend. You know, we’re in december 23 and I’m like, Oh my god. You are, you were a baby like recently. Now you look, she literally looks like she’s like, 13 or 14. And I’m just scared over here, but
it’s young, especially around the holiday season. I mean, that’s the magical time. I mean, even when you know it back then, when I didn’t really have a lot as far as, like, monetary and finances. I mean, those years are the most magical for sure. So enjoy every moment and to everyone listening, please, please follow that lead as well.
100% well said, and it’s hard to do right, like being a practice owner, you know, in in running a practice, taking care of patients like you know, inventory tracking, like, you know, signing lease agreements. I mean, opening up academies, like, going to conferences, like, it’s a lot, you know, I, and I have so much respect for the entrepreneurs, you know, like you that that are on this journey and took that leap, you know, of faith, of like, hey, you know what? I’ve been I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and I’m going to open up my practice. And so as we talk about that, like, what were some of the challenges that you went through when you when you opened up your practice, whether that was, like, financial or just fear, and I’m sure maybe there’s a point in time where you’re like, you know what? No, I’m just going to go back to go back to doing being an ER, you know, trauma nurse, because that’s what I know. Like, I’m curious to know that, that story, and because you’ve had so much success in a, in a in a rapid period of time, and I follow you on social media, you’re always doing incredible things and always pushing the envelope, and so super inspired. But I’d love to hear that, that story of that,
yeah, sure, of course. Well, I never wanted to look back that. I never had that fear, I think. And I think that’s something that I don’t know. I just, I have to be completely honest, I never had that fear once I went all in. There was no looking back for me. Now, I didn’t know exactly which way that was going to take me and which road, but I really, I never questioned it, and I believe I, even my parents will attest to this, like I’ve always been the trailblazer in my family and the one that’s willing to take risks and think outside the box. I mean, even when I was little, I was the one in the neighborhood pulling together all the neighborhood kids and putting on not just like a, you know, lemonade stand, nothing wrong with that, but I was putting on, like, carnivals in my backyard, and like doing and like producing plays and like being the lead in it. And I think as, like a little girl for going back to what we had mentioned before, that innocence and that like, like purity of who you are, that’s kind of what I’m doing now. But I’m an adult, and I’m running businesses, and I’m a mom, and have all these other things happening. So I really never questioned it. Once I went all in. What happened was, I was, I befriended a local physician at the gym, that I was that I was a member at, and again, my kids were all very young at that time, and I started more or less being like the pied piper for for their wellness company, and really bringing people in, and I like what they were doing. And, you know, this one story with which I’ve shared before, I was in like, a very, like, low space, personally, in my marriage at that time too. This is before I even picked up a needle to inject someone’s face. And I was just in a really low spot. It was Christmas time. We really had nothing. I was, I was didn’t know how bad, and some of the choices that my ex husband had made to really put my family and I in a very compromised situation. Because again, that that time I was working weekends and Monday through Friday, I was all in with my children. So that was kind of like that quote, unquote, balance. And I ended up having to even sell my engagement ring that Christmas before I took my first course to buy my kids a trampoline, because they were getting to the point my oldest was about nine, maybe turning 10, that that innocence around Christmas and holidays, he started to ask some questions about Santa, right? And I’m like, there’s not a chance these kids deserve it. So that’s literally what I did, and I don’t share that story because I want anyone to feel bad for me or anything, because I certainly didn’t feel bad for me. I took ownership in that, and I decided to make a change. And very organically, as I was befriending this physician, I realized I’m like, Huh? I think I want to try Botox. And even though, again, finances were down, I needed, I felt like I just wanted to look better, feel better, and do something for just me. So I was the, you know, very naive. Knew nothing about this world whatsoever. Went in and said, I would like eight units of Botox. And we all know all the injectors listening, you know, that’s not. First of all, you never request the amount of units. And two, eight units isn’t going to do a darn thing, but I was trying to budget it right, so I splurged. I got Botox, and I just honestly, not only was it the results, but I love the whole experience. And it was actually a nurse who did it. And we’re going back now about nine, little over nine years, there wasn’t, like, this whole massive. Amount of resources, or how to even get into this wonderful world. And it was so fairly new, I would say, over the past five years, if you I don’t know if you agree with me, Cameron, you know the amount of providers, nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians that want to get into medical esthetics. I mean, it has blown up, right? So back then, yeah, absolutely in medical esthetics. So I asked the physician, I said, I want to take this course. I borrowed $1,500 from my mom, which I did pay back, and she thought that I’d be really good at this. I took my first course, and honestly, I never looked back. I did concierge shape of work for a while, doing different parties. I mean, I was literally just trying to get my name out there, and I could not get enough of it. And I had to cite tooth and nail to find the resources, because they weren’t necessarily available like they are now. So that’s, that’s what I did. And then I worked at a local medical spa. And then after being there for a little over a year, about 15 months or so, I grew their practice about 190% within that first six months, I was treating that practice like it was my own, and it was time for me to just go, and that’s what I did. So I broke away from that I and I that summer, leading into 2016 October, I just grinded and I opened up my practice without any debt, without taking any loans, every single, every single amount that I made, I invested back into my practice, and that’s my story. So it was two years to the day of that first course that I had to borrow $1,500 from my mom to take this course and invest everything back into finding educational resources, into my patients, doing my thing. I was able to open up Glo Derma, wow,
wow. That’s That’s first, an amazing story, and the resilience that that you have behind that. I mean, you know, it’s one thing. It’s like, okay, 1500 bucks, you know, that’s that could be a lot to someone, that could be a little to someone, depending on whatever era you’re at in your in your life, and just asking for it and it, you can be vulnerable, asking, you know, mom, dad, whoever, right? But like, the amount of like that takes a ton of courage, you know, and getting yourself out there. And then the hustle, I’ll also say, you know, of of, really, like, showing up every day to this other brand, this other practice, and then two years go by, you know, 2017 Right? Like, I think, wasn’t it early? 17 is when you you opened up Glo Derma. Uh, 2016 october 21 Okay, gotcha. And this was, um, okay, so when you open up Glo Derma, were you just focusing on injectables? Like, when was it until you said, Okay, I’m gonna bring on, like, other, like a device, because I, hear the audience asks that, you know, a lot is like, hey, you know, what’s the best way, way to do this? Because I also see, like, where people will come in and they’ll, they’ll finance some heavy piece of equipment without patience. And I look at that as a very challenging way to grow practice starting, you know, kind of over, over your head, if you will.
Oh, I agree with you, and that’s why I was a sole provider at that time. So I had an esthetician that I’d worked with previously that we worked really nicely together, and a front desk to help keep me organized. And that was pretty much it. My mom was helping a lot with, like the back end. She’s a nurse as well for 40 years, and she was kind of helping with, like, inventory on the back end. But really it was, it was, I was a sole provider, you know, managing the ship. And what I’ve learned as far as, and I was just doing injectables, what I learned was that, especially with now, how many practices I go to and hearing some of these pitfalls, if I may say, is getting too in over your head. So I’m really, really careful with what kind of devices I bring on, with what providers I bring on, because everything, when you’re running a business that’s also your that’s an investment, right? And we’ve, we can all agree to this, like it’s investment of time, it’s investment of resources. It’s investing, you know, financially, into someone or something. So unless I know that I’m able to be or, you know, at least, hope to be successful in it, when it, when it was injectables, I never bought, like, massive amounts of products, especially in those beginning stages. I got to learn my flow so that I didn’t have like this massive overhead happening. And that’s kind of how I’ve continued to develop these brands, glow drama and glow Academy is kind of taking it in those steps. And when it’s when I feel like it’s starting to work, I then I just really go all in with it. So the. Devices like I would, I would just do your homework, do do your research, try it, check out the market to see if it’s something that your local market, a regional market is, is something that their program be into, because if not, that machine is going to sit there and collect dust. And who’s operating it right? So our devices that we have here, I’m not the one that’s necessarily operating it. I’m doing the injectables and obviously consulting on it, but my wonderful team of nurses, they’re the ones that are actually operating in as well. So you can’t bank that everyone also on your team is going to buy into the idea or concept or science or education of it also. So I would just really take your time with that and move at a pace that makes sense for you and your practice. Yeah,
very well said. Amy and it that is a very common theme that I have listened to with other practice owners that are, I would say, similar in stature, if you will, that have that have grown their practice to to kind of like, where yours is, is this theme of having history in obviously, nursing is one, I think you, you know, you have an awesome edge, like coming from trauma as you I mean, I would say it is, you have the ability to see things where, like, wow, this, this that needs to be fixed, that needs to be fixed, because that’s a pretty intense environment. So you could, you know, you obviously had a foundation to build off of right for many and then taking it slow, going and working somewhere right and and building up a clientele there that I’m sure followed you to where you went. Because you build rapport, you build synergy, you build friendship, you build trust you know, and then to opening up your own. That is a very common theme or recipe for success that I have heard where I where I hear the failure or the or the struggle, if you will, failure, whatever the the challenge is, is the opposite, like expensive build out, buying every single device you know, not doing your market research, you know, getting heavy loans with interest rates or hard money or whatever it is. And I feel like that is a very it’s a stressful environment to be in, versus taking it slow and then just scaling and bolting on services and treatments, you know. And so I gotta, I mean, my hats off to you. I think that’s a wonderful way to and really to grow any business, even if you’re looking outside of a practice, you know, start where, where you have success, keep costs low, right? And and as you see success grow, then go all in. So that’s awesome, I mean, and just for the audience, I mean, you’re a game trainer, top 100 gal Derma list, you know, provider, you have, you know, glow academy that you started over, you know, 205 star plus reviews online that I was able to find. I’m sure there’s more and over 100,000 followers on Instagram. And so you’ve built an incredible brand. And, and I mean, the future is very bright for Amy. So congratulations to you. Thanks.
Thank you so much. I also think that Yani injectors may be thinking about getting into this business, or providers that are wanting to open it. Just know that like this is, I think one thing, because I had nothing to even compare it to, right? My whole brand was also built on, like just passion and commitment and loyalty to my patients, and really honestly, going back to the foundation of, why did I like my experience when I got Botox? Yes, did I like the results totally, but the bigger picture of what really sprung me in the in the direction of my life and my career now is because I felt better so that look and feel concept together, that is, that’s our that’s our mission. Tag is to look and feel your best and to be approachable. Because, you know, I was again, I didn’t. I had nothing when I went in and got Botox, I just was like, let me try this out. I was interested and all of those things and to never, like, you know, lose that culture of why you got started. And I certainly was not running away from the ER, I love the ER there was. It wasn’t like I was burnt out, or I couldn’t stand it, or I didn’t like the my team. I loved my team. I loved what I was doing. I wasn’t running from anything. I just was able to parlay this into a completely different direction, when maybe at my life, my life was good in a lot of ways and abundant, but in some ways, it was very dark, right? So I try to, like, continue that on with the entire culture here is that there is something for everybody. Glow is for everybody and for anyone who comes in and it’s approachable, we’re not stuffy. We like to have a great time here together, and we are committed to excellence in our treatments, in the whole experience. And I think that that’s something that sometimes we have to just reground ourselves. Else and go back to those basics and those beginning stages as to what was our drive back then and what made us not scared, and what gave us that resilience to keep moving forward and overcoming adversity.

Back to the show.
Would you say, like, and I’ve actually, I talked about this on my, you know, on other episodes, is, is understanding your why is very important, and falling back on your why is so critical. Because, you know your practice is business, and as you scale it, there’s going to be challenges. There’s going to be challenges with personnel providers. There’s going to be challenges with inventory, with costs, with Financials, with all the stuff that goes, goes along with truly running a practice like a business. And I mean, you said it very well, falling back on that. Why, you know, like, Why did I get into this? Would you say, like, you know, the days that are challenging for Amy, if you will, or for, you know, the whatever, whatever it may be falling back on, hey, when my experience with this was, I mean just to boost confidence, and when you give confidence to others, does that? Does that give Amy like, is that what feels good inside to you? Is that, because that’s that’s really neat,
absolutely, yeah, it really does. I mean to my relationships with my patients. When they come in, they’re sacred to me, and I’m very protective of that space. And it doesn’t matter if something happened five seconds before when I walk in there, I can tell you right now, I’ve said this before. I realized a couple years ago, we all say we want to be intentional. We want to live in the moment. We want to be in the moment. But how hard is that sometimes to do? Right? And I can tell you when I go into that room and I’m with my patient, I’m not thinking about anything else other than that patient sitting in that chair, and there’s I’m very, very I realize that this is probably the only time during the day that I can, one compartmentalize completely, and to be completely there and present with the with my patients, and I think that’s you know, you have to look at this, that this you’re not just doing a service to somebody or giving them a treatment like they’re trusting in you and so many other ways of their whole entire life. You have no idea what’s going on. And that building that rapport, building that trust with my patients. I mean, that is, that’s what makes me tick. They they always thank me for helping them, but they have no idea how much they help me each and every day and through those experiences.
Wow, that’s that. That was, uh, what you just said was, was amazing. I mean, it, they’re not just helping themselves. They’re helping you. That’s a gift like truly is Amy is a gift to be able to be present like that, especially with all the noise that that we deal with, especially in today’s world. Shoot, I mean, you know, it’s really hard, and I think, you know, I’ll try to look at this like through my wife’s lens, if you will, have a wife she, you know, she gets treatment done. And sometimes, as a husband, I’m guilty of like, man, you’re always on your appointments, like, but sometimes when I take like, she, she, we’re going on a trip, or we’re we have a date coming up, or we’re going to a conference, like, she wants to look good, and it makes her, makes her feel good and confident, and in return, that’s got to make you feel good, dude. So you know, like looking at it through that lens and hearing from you, I’m like it, it helps me too. So, so thank you for for sharing that. Oh yes, of course. Okay, so I want to pivot for a second. I want to talk about glow Academy. Because not only do you have a wonderful practice where you have staff that’s incredible, you have a brand that’s incredible, your patients trust you. Your patients love you, but now you have taken it to the next level of saying, You know what, I want to help others in this space. And so what was the inspiration? Behind that. And then I want to talk about your event that you have coming up that I’m super excited about.
Yeah, absolutely so very similar to to the Glo Derma story, little different, though. So I really, I, I was very, very fortunate. We offered the position the gal Derma game trainer shortly after I had opened, when I opened, it was like, I people are like, Who is this girl in the industry coming out of left field with already a pretty strong following? And I was fortunate enough that I didn’t have to sit there and be like, Oh my gosh, are they going to come? But keep in mind, I spent two years of really hustling in the community, getting my word out, acting as an entrepreneur, even though I wasn’t at the time that I was able to have that good foundation. So shortly thereafter, I was asked to be a gal dorm, a game trainer, which then put me in this amazing group of amazing providers that you and I are both very good friends with, and that community continues to grow. And again, I love the community aspect, and going back to the days where I really didn’t have a mentor. In the beginning, I really didn’t I wasn’t told what to do. No one was holding my hand. I found my love and passion in education. And so education, when I’m training, I feel like I’m also again, helping them. And then you learn something by training too, which also makes you a better injector and a better provider, so you have all these resources. So as I was getting more involved with the education piece, I realized how much I love that, and I love to be a mentor and a resource. So after my five year lease was up here, and I asked my landlord if I could purchase the building. So we doubled our space, and I knew exactly what the second space needed to be. And I was, I said, I wanted to create a training educational Oasis, which is, I use the word oasis with glow Derma that was going to provide an opportunity as providers, to congregate and to meet and to train and to continue on with that excellence in education, patient safety, add value to the community in medical esthetics and educational realm. And that’s that was my inspiration. So again, it was like one of those things. I thought this second space was going to be a few other things throughout the years. I was coming to do a massive wellness type of thing. And I realized what I really what makes me tick, and what really gets me excited is now education. And I love it like absolutely love it. So glow Academy was born, and it’s also a full studio, so we’re able to really have this, have this sense of belonging when providers come. I wanted again, to not be intimidating at all. So people feel really comfortable coming into our home here at Glo Dharma and glow Academy, and also being able to work with some of my amazing friends and colleagues and have a space that’s a little bit different than the traditional conference call or Convention Center, where a lot of times people come in and they feel like they’re just a number in the room, and that’s why that boutique type of training that you’re able to connect with all the providers and anybody who’s coming to train with you, and then continue on those relationships and experiences long after the courses. So that’s that’s pretty much our vibe for all of the trainings that we do, whether they’re larger collaborations and larger I’m not talking in numbers, but just kind of bringing in some of my amazing colleagues, or we’re doing small group trainings or shadow days, or some of our courses. So it’s been really exciting. I love it so much, the friendships that now these providers that maybe they aren’t in this type of amazing network that we’re all privy to. They create their own community within the community, and they become friends, and then there are resources for one another, and I’m a resource, and if I don’t know, I have so many talented, intelligent friends I’m able to lean on, and that’s how you grow, and that’s how you learn. So I really want to add value to medical esthetics so that we can continue to practice safely, be extremely innovative, and grow together as a community.
Wow, it’s so true, and it’s, I mean, the amount of people that are within the community. I mean, it’s growing. It’s a very fast growing specialty and market, but it’s almost like a small community, if you will, too, right? Like when I moved out of lots of conferences, I see you at several of them. I actually I see you at a lot of them. And, you know, yeah, it’s and hey, you know, you’re taking time away from from your practice or loved ones or staff or whatever, but, you know, there is so much internal synergy that is created to create something special and unique and continue to push the envelope, you know, for the esthetic space. And you know, it’s, it’s, it’s people like you that are like, You know what? There’s something more to give we we need to create something special here, and we need to get back through it. Education, and in doing so, it’s just going to empower the industry. And so like when I this event that you have coming up February 2 through the fourth 2024, I know that you’ve you’ve focused hard on this event. You know you were emailing with me a few weeks back, a month back, maybe, of getting this on the site and getting it out there. Will you just, like, talk to us about evolve, because it I’ve seen tons of emails come through. I’ve seen you talk about on social media, but for the audience here, like talk to us about this evolve that coming up in early February.
Oh, we are so pumped. This is going to be awesome. So our event is going to be held here at glow Academy, February, 2 through fourth, with my dear friends and colleagues, Dr Kian Karimi, Natalia Guzman and Francine young, the four of us have you know Kian and I have been talking about this. Natalia and I have been friends for she was actually my first injector friend. When we were taking I span our boards together. We became friends, and again, this community and this network, so they’re all out of Beverly Hills, and we decided that it’s time to help others evolve with us, right? So that’s how that name came about, and this weekend is fabulous. So first of all, because of all the traveling that I do and go to different conferences, there’s a lot of logistics sometimes that you have to take into consideration, transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, who you’re going to be with. Like, there’s a lot that goes into this, and you know, sometimes that’s a deal breaker for us. So what I what I’ve tried to figure out is what are some of these gaps that might prevent people from choosing one course to another? And for me, I want convenience. I want to if they’re coming here and people are taking time out from their practices, from their families, from other commitments, I want to make sure that when they come they have the best experience ever. So everything’s included, you just show up, and we literally take care of all the other details, including three days of education with us. That is first day is going to be a cadaver and advanced ultrasound course during the day, at nighttime, we are going to be doing a business welcome reception. So not only the four of us, other practice owners and business owners, are going to be able to have like, a nice, like round table, sharing our experiences, learning from one another. That gal dorm is actually going to be help. Will be hosting that, that dinner event, and then Saturday, it’s like we are holding back on nothing. It’s all day workshop, live injections. We’re talking all of the leading, innovative, different procedures, our approaches. We’re sharing everything, PDO threads. I also just came up with. It’s in the process of being trademark, the art of reversal to manage non desirable esthetic outcomes. How are we going to treat that and and basically help improve tissue repair? So I’m working on those protocols, and we’ll be doing that live during the weekend, just bio stimulation body. We are not holding back at all. And everyone will also get a formal handout with all of our protocols and our practices, because I think that’s something that people also like to take away with them. And then, of course, you know, work hard, play hard. You know me well enough Cameron, that I do find that you know that is, that is something that’s important. And some of these relationships really do continue to grow once you’re able to also step outside the classroom and then also get to know each other even more. So, so we’ll have a afterglow party that evening that everyone’s invited to with some of our other industry partners, and Sunday is a hands on or observation opportunity where you have all of us, and everyone’s able to go ahead and do their models, and it’s just going to be so exciting. Oh, I left out Gail Derma, actually, Dr Keon creamy and I are launching a whole new platform first time. They’ll be doing that that Thursday. So if anybody is in town that evening, we also decided that we are also going to include accommodations for them to say, in the hotel, you know, complimentary as well. So that’s going to be really exciting, more to come on that as we develop that
very cool that’s, that’s incredible. I mean, I can just tell, like, the enthusiasm that you have, you know, behind this event and all the future events that are going to come with it, you know, and giving so much value. Like, there’s a lot of talk right now around, you know, the ultrasound experience and how much value it’s bringing to the marketplace. And shoot, a lot of people you know are now searching that online. Like, do you offer ultrasound for your injections or, you know, dissolves? And so there’s, there’s, there’s a ton of value that’s coming from. And I like the way that you, you know, describe. It in the way that you have put it out there on the site as well, of making it hands off right, show up. We’ll take care of everything. We’re going to learn, we’re going to have fun, we’re going to get to know each other. It because I go to conferences as an exhibitor or speaker, and I agree, like the Traveling can be a pain. Can coordinate with your team, like where to stay, how to get to and from, what flights, when to leave. You know, it’s it. It’s a lot to take in, and the easier you can make it on, whether it’s at the the provider level, the guest level, the sponsor level, the exhibitor level, you know, the easier it is for everyone and so, like, that’s, that’s, I’m glad that that’s what you guys leaned in with. I’m excited to to, you know, attend, if you guys are still, you know, in that spot of wanting to have people join, I’d love to join, or just show up and see what it’s all about, just so I can learn. Because, man, we learned so much. Offices, yeah, and I to your point too, about having fun outside the classroom like that. That’s a I have made some of my, like, best friendships of, you know, being in the lobby, honestly, like, yeah. I mean, just, you know, taking the hat off, pulling the hair down, whatever it is, having a conversation, learn about one another. It’s, it, you know, we’re all people at the end of the day, right? We have to remember, yep,
so Exactly. And I think that’s something sometimes like, you go to these larger conferences and they, you know, they serve a purposes, own respect, but it almost like detaches the attendees from the podium speakers, because it’s also chaotic, and me being like on faculty and doing podium presentations, you’re being pulled in a million directions. So we are not given the ability or even time to really have that connection. So everything that we do here, along with my fabulous team that will, they literally handle everything. You’re in a boutique. We’re capping this at about 25 attendees. So you’re in a very small group. You have all of us. You get all of us all weekend. And that to me, that that energy, that to me, is not draining to me whatsoever, because everyone feels like they’re a part of it. There’s nothing that you can or cannot or that you cannot ask. I mean, we’re literally open books. And that’s really, that’s that non intimidating type of environment, but very high level type of education that we’re able to bring you and our like the four of us, we are ready to literally help you all evolve with us. And we’re so excited. It’s going to be amazing. So if anyone’s listening, we’re almost full. We’re like, about halfway there. So you know, DM me reach out. Check out our site, my glue academy.com, for more information. You can reach out for our team if you have any questions whatsoever, and we will help you make this a seamless and very impactful weekend that is just going to be off the hook. I
love it. I love it. And that that actually brings up to to my last ask, and I know that you’re super busy, I’m gonna let you go. But so for okay, if I’m a, if I’m a provider, or I want to become a provider, or I want to evolve, if you will, or maybe I don’t have, maybe February is coming up, you know, I don’t have time. I already have plans, whatever they can go to. Where is the best place for them to go? Would it be the website, myglo academy.com

I mean, she was Practice Manager of the Year at the next season, right?
Jodi, Jodi Becker, my practice manager. She’s incredible. She manages my whole life, pretty much, and she she did at the next season, at esthetic, next 5.0 this past year, I’m starting to tear up even thinking about it, because she deserves that so much, the amount that she puts into this practice and to me, and I certainly could not do all the things I’m moving in the direction without the support of my amazing team, and I’m just so grateful. Well,
