Reflecting on this honor, Crystal said, "I have come to realize that my story matters too." Sharing the stage with President Biden, she highlighted the importance of care, a fundamental aspect of her business framework, Be The WOW. Her framework helps high achievers live fulfilling lives through wellness, purpose, and consistency. Crystal's dual experience as a caregiver and care recipient has enriched her coaching approach, making her more empathetic and effective.

Crystal's entrepreneurial path began when she needed care post-surgery, leading her to relocate to the CSRA and pause her business. Upon resuming, she sought a fresh approach and found the Make Startups program. "Make Startups not only helped me clarify my vision but also formalize a framework that I was already embodying," she noted. The program provided the in-person support and community she needed.

Make Startups played a pivotal role in her success, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration. "The bond between my instructor and cohort is unparalleled," she shared. This support helped Crystal refine her vision and expand her impact, empowering leaders worldwide to Be The WOW in all aspects of their lives.

Crystal's growth from advocate to entrepreneur showcases the power of personal experiences. "My journey from becoming The WOW as an entrepreneur to introducing the President has been filled with valuable lessons and experiences. It's taught me that my story matters and that every experience is a stepping stone towards growth. For everyone embarking on their entrepreneurial journey, remember to share your story, and most importantly, Be The WOW," Crystal shared.
