Reel 1: Fun + Transparency = Unstoppable

Caption:

Business doesn't have to kill your passion. But without fun, it will.

Dr. Lacey Book shares her two non-negotiables: infusing fun into everything and radical transparency with everyone you serve. When you can't bring the fun factor, passion dies. When you're not transparent about expectations, relationships fail. Simple formula: Fun keeps you going, transparency builds trust.
