Some of the best investments we make as leaders are in time together. 🌿✨
Yesterday, I stepped out with Victoria, our Marketing Director, Gina, one of our Account Managers, and a very special guest: Victoria’s mom, Monica, for a little “Take My Mom to Work Day.” ❤️
We walked a few miles through Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, surrounded by towering redwoods, Japanese gardens, ponds, waterfalls, and roses. A beautiful setting to slow down, get inspired, and connect.
Then we headed to Casa Córdoba just a mile away and the perfect combo to the gardens, and one of our favorite agency clients, for Spanish tapas, cocktails, live guitar serenades, and the kind of patio conversations you wish could last all night. 🍷🎸
As CEO of Vivid Candi, days like this remind me that building a great team means making room for authentic human connection. The shared smiles, stories, and memories build trust that carries into everything we create together.
Feeling grateful for these people and the chance to grow together—personally and professionally. ❤️
