The constant hustle and sacrifice of being an entrepreneur wasn't a surprise to Cyndi when she started Chillhouse. Her mom was an entrepreneur herself in the spa industry and Cyndi saw first-hand what it took to run your own business.

I loved the opportunity to sit down with Harper earlier this month. As a gay, African-American ballet dancer, he’s really making waves. He says in today's episode that he’s really hoping to open doors for the next generation and inspire them to try whatever makes them excited. We talk about his upbringing, coming out to his parents at 14, and working hard to become a star within the world of ballet (and paving his way in the social media space). He also shares his journey, opens up about the fears and hurdles he’s faced along the way, and how that fear is good and helpful at times. In his opinion if you’re scared to face something head on  — it’s not something to run from. Instead, remember that fear can be your teacher.
