Discovering Your Innate Marketing Genius with Christina Frei, Author/Ted X speaker
Christina runs a boutique marketing practice called Innate Marketing Genius, where she helps solo business owners own their voice, market to their strengths, and get the right clients consistently. Her holistic marketing approach grew out of a lonely, chaotic time, when she moved to Boston all on her own—and discovered her own way to really connect with people. She recently gave a TEDx talk on this.
Personally, she's on a mission to live more sustainably; she is obsessed with thrift shopping and eating locally grown foods. In between, she chases her dog around with a stuffed animal snake, meditates on a pink couch, cold plunges like Wim Hof all year long with a large community of knuckleheads, and obsess over the perfect cup of green tea, all in a seaside town just north of Boston.
