Squad Life: Rachel Hollis Rise Conference Overview

In October, my friend and business partner Sharlene Garcia and I met up in Charleston for Rachel Hollis's Business Conference. This was my second time being to a Hollis conference, but one of my favorite parts about this one was all speakers that Rachel and her team brought together. We are talking Brendon Burchard, Marie Forleo, and Chris Hogan to name a few. 

Sharlene and I share our breakthrough and ah ha moments of the conference including getting serious about your why, stopping the comparison game and getting on board with the idea that failure isn't a bad thing.

And if this conference peeked your interest then mark November 5-7 on your calendar as Rise Business will be headed to Austin.



Places to eat in Charleston:

• 5Church: hands down my favorite spot. Get the steak you won't regret it. I spot at the bar will also put you in position for amazing cocktail creations. 
• Poogan's Porch: the oldest culinary establishment in Charleston. We went for supper and it was good, but they are know for their brunch. 
• Halls Chophouse: the steakhouse everyone recommended up we couldn't get into. Book reservations early. 
• Byrd's Fresh Cookies: these little things are magic 
• Callie's Hot Biscuits: hands down the best biscuit I have had in my life 
• Page's Okra Grill: Over in Mt. Pleasant but the southern style lunch menu was incredible. They say this is the place for breakfast and brunch. 
• Rodney Scott BBQ: It was good, but maybe not as good as I thought it was going to be. Pulled pork and ribs are their things. 

Where we didn't go:

• Saltwater Cowboys: was recommended numerous times to us if you like seafood. They said the views of the sunset over the ocean are the best here. 
• Husk: was brought up a lot, but they said it is kind of overrated. Not as good as it used to be so we passed. 

Sharlene's Recommendations: 
Book: It's Not Supposed to Be This Way
Squad: #BreneBrown
Make Up: Tinted Chapstick and Dollup Beauty Highlighter in Lavish

All the books that were recommended at the conference.
