We are all designed in various ways. Whether we are wired to be more analytical, more creative, or a combination of both, we all bring different perspectives, knowledge, skills, and abilities to the table. Even with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), there are cases to be made of the vast importance of human ingenuity. Humans, however, have limits. Where can we divert our attention to in order to ensure that burnout does not occur? Today's unique guest, owner of River City Virtual Assistants, Katie Santoro, shares her story of burnout from multiple jobs in various careers and how this startup became a way to empower others, not only through her team, but the clients that she serves, to become more focused, energized, and attentive to what their ultimate purpose of their businesses are. Through the help of virtual assistants, a lot can be accomplished, but the mindset of learning and expanding our opportunities also goes along with the same drive and determination that we have to be successful. Diving into what is truly important, this episode will leave you with a sense of fulfilled purpose, knowing that there will always be a team that will "have your back."

Guest Bio

Katie is a burnout survivor on a mission to help others avoid the same by offering virtual assistance to business owners and busy professionals, while simultaneously creating employment for individuals needing flexibility. In 2019, Katie left her corporate job in the insurance industry to run her first business, a yoga studio, after experiencing burnout. When she closed her yoga studio during the pandemic, she began considering a return to corporate life. Knowing she couldn't return without risking another burnout, she used her experiences in the legal and insurance industry, with running a small business, and began assisting clients as a freelancer. As she grew, she recruited from her network of friends who were leaving the workforce due to the struggles of childcare during the pandemic, and River City Virtual Assistants was born. The company is dedicated to providing assistance to clients and is committed to providing meaningful employment to parents and caretakers within the USA.
