11. Personal Awakening: Who do I want to be for me?, with Laura Juarez

Laura Juarez was the CEO of a family-owned manufacturing company in Northwest Ohio where Cory had his first internship. She became an instant role model for Cory and has gone on to become a consultant, business owner, entrepreneur and yogi. Laura and Cory get back together after that summer internship 22 years ago to host this inspirational joint-podcast that dives deeper into how you can uncover and center your life around your superpowers and unique talents.

Laura Juarez

Laura Juarez is the creator and leader of Pure Potential, a company she founded to help people and companies efficiently align their purpose and operationalize excellence. She also hosts the Conscious Leadership Podcast and founded the yoga studio brand Pure Wellness in Asheville, North Carolina.

Laura began her career as an organization development consultant with Accenture, helping Fortune 500 companies align their people with their vision and strategy. It was there where her lifelong curiosity about optimal living and performance began. Through her 25 plus year career, Laura has owned and led organizations across multiple sectors spanning from manufacturing to wellness, B2B to B2C, and amassed extensive governance experience in the for-profit and nonprofit worlds.

Laura is the proud mother of two teenagers and shares her life with her husband.  When not supporting businesses committed to impact, she can be found "rewilding" via hiking trails or grooving goodness from the inside out on her yoga mat.
