How do others perceive you? Are there misconceptions, stigma and stereotypes surrounding your profession? 

Are there people in your life that have a certain image of you that they cant let go of?

In this episode we explore the ways in which misconceptions and stereotypes impact our business. We know we cannot control others - all we can control is the way in which we react and respond. Sometimes, that is easier said than done! 

Listen in as Lena and Steve open up about the way in which Steve's professional fighter negatively impacts the perception of them within the community.
