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.
