#19 Finish Strong: Canadian Bulldog Holly Bond’s Journey from Starting Late to Graduating Great

Would you keep pushing for a university degree if it took you four times as long to finish?

Holly did. It took her 17 years to achieve her university degree because it was her dream. Her life motto: Always finish what you start. It’s never too late to reach the finish line.

Join us as we delve into the extraordinary story of Holly Bond, a remarkable Canadian entrepreneur and president of a headhunting firm. From motherhood to building a successful franchise and eventually transitioning into the headhunting business, Holly’s journey is truly inspirational.

Episode Breakdown:

00:33—Holly Unplugged: Dive into the life of a Halifax local juggling degrees, diapers, and dumbbells.

12:56—Tick-Tock Motivation: Holly shares the poignant reason she pushes so hard: “My mother died at the same age I am now. I have so many things I want to do. I’m afraid of one day dying or reaching 85 and regretting not trying today.”

16:50—Franchise Fever: From a concerned mom to an international franchise sensation overnight. It all started when Holly’s son was 13 and overweight. After a TV interview, she received 103 emails from around the world inquiring about franchising.
