From cloning a gene to investigate cardiovascular genetic disorders to becoming the youngest precinct judge for the state of North Carolina to founding a massively successful boutique travel company, Zim Flores (nee Ugochukwu) is a force to be reckoned with!

We start the discussion with the achievement that she feels most proud of (the answer will surprise you!), and the breakthrough that she had when she sold Travel Noire. We dive into the challenge of separating yourself from your business as an entrepreneur, and why the Travel Noire experience was founded on the idea of creating tension.

As a woman of God, we learn how His Plan saved Zim in terms of timing, and how she is incorporating her faith in her next venture.
