Why I Partnered With Marisa

1. SHE CONNECTS THE DOTS. Marisa is a storyteller. She loves to learn about a place, about the people who live there and it’s history, and craft a compelling narrative that brings it all together.

2. SHE IS A DO-ER. If there was anyone to start a business with, it’s Marisa. She is a tackler of to-do lists and a planner who takes my wacky ideas and comes up with an action plan of how to make it happen. There is never a project too big for Marisa to take on and find the manageable pieces to get started on.

3. SHE IS THOUGHTFUL. She takes the time to think big picture about what we’re doing and why. She knows how to take the right step at the right time, and draws on the knowledge of everyone she’s working with to make recommendations that are both holistic and straightforward.

4. SHE’S GOT YOUR BACK. Marisa cares about you. Like, really cares. She wants to know about your family, about your hopes and dreams, and about your fears. She’s a protector who will always look out for the people she cares about, which is really everyone who has let her care about them.

5. SHE IS SPARKLY. Marisa thinks I’m bananas when I call her sparkly. But if you know Marisa, you get it. She has a smile and an energy that lights up a room. She sees the good in other people and reflects and multiplies it back to them. She’s the kind of person you want around, for the good and the bad, because just by being there, she makes things better.
