Where Will You Compete? INBA PNBA Global!
As I slowly come out of my baby bliss (Baby K is already almost SIX weeks old! WHAT?!), I'm so thrilled to continue the Where Will YOU Compete series. This series is really important to me, because I am truly passionate about women stepping on stage for the RIGHT reasons, and choosing the RIGHT stage for their goals and desires. Not everyone is on #OperationPROCard, desperate to be instagram famous and rep a big supplement brand. Some of us compete because we like having a goal to motivate us in the gym... or because we lost a ton of weight and are ready to put our new bod on stage for everyone to see... or because screw it, life's short, so why not get under those bright lights in crazy clear heals?!
The point is, it's important to know that you have options... hence this series. The goal here is to allow any organization that wants to participate, to share FROM THEIR OWN MOUTH why YOU should compete with THEM.
This edition of Who Will YOU Compete With?! features the INBA PNBA Global.
This interview was with Diana Kakos, CEO of the organization. BIG shout out to her and her team for being a part of our series!
