She’s got an MBA in marketing from Boston University, she reads business books for fun, she’s a self-proclaimed lover of tea and she’s a mother. Come along for the ride as Candice dishes about when she fell in love with storytelling, why she expresses gratitude every morning and how “your vibe attracts your tribe.”
