The Big Picture with Lise Kuecker and Chris Farnsworth of LiveMetta

One brand I’m so excited to watch is LiveMetta – currently 11 yoga and Pilates studios (along with one spa) in Southern California. They’re truly bringing something different to our space! 

Tune in to our new series of conversations with amazing industry leaders: Episode 662: The Big Picture with Lise Kuecker and Chris Farnsworth of Live Metta. 

  • Mission critical: embodying loving kindness as a foundation and culture
  • Competition killer: thoughtfully expanding to fully own select markets
  • Golden Rule: prioritizing relationships, ensuring support, paying well
  • Lifelong learning: investing in professional development and continuing ed
  • Change agent: donating to local nonprofits through LiveMetta Heart Space

Check out how LiveMetta shines brightly in the boutique space. And meet co-founder, Chris (who I call my Southern brother), after you hear from him in Episode 662. 

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
