We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Anissa Perry a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Anissa, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’re complete cheeseballs and so we love asking folks to share the most heartwarming moment from their career – do you have a touching moment you can share with us?

I’d like to tell the story about how I lost my husband to Homicide with two small babies. No home no job and no support . I found my way working while taking care of my babies and starting a nonprofit that supports families of Homicide free of charge .I worked like all hell to support my dream paying for all my events with 2 full time jobs to help those with no support with Events retreats and networking dinners . It works to see others happy and emotionally healthy you can not place a price on support.

Anissa, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
