When entrepreneur Mary Beth Schell's dancewear business succumbed to online competition, she made the decision to transition into a service model venture, but what would that be?  It was suggested that she look into cryotherapy, as it was all the rage in Europe.  After extensive research and a leap of faith, Mary Beth took the risk to launch a very successful full-service cryotherapy center.

Her journey has not only made her life more fulfilling,  but Mary Beth built a business which helps people feel and look their best and an environment that created a sense of community within the walls of her enterprise.   

In this episode Mary Beth and I discuss:
