Candace Boggan shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Candace, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: Are you walking a path—or wandering?
I know I’m walking a divine path — even if, at times, it’s felt more like wandering. Those feelings usually arise during seasons of transition, when I find myself questioning the bigger plan. Yet even in moments of uncertainty, I trust that my steps are always ordered and that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. I also believe that even when I stray off course, I’ll receive the confirmation I need to pivot and realign.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Candace Boggan — a strategy consultant and travel expert with over two decades of experience in the travel, tourism, media, and real estate industries. I partner with small businesses, mid-sized companies, and large global brands, specializing in marketing, communications, and human resources. What makes my work unique is its range and variety — one day I might be collaborating with a local entrepreneur in Tampa, and the next I’m developing a brand campaign for a major international conglomerate.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
My faith has played a significant role in my life, and my relationship with the Lord has shaped me more than anything else. I believe I was created in God’s image and empowered to accomplish everything He says I can. That conviction became the foundation of my life, allowing me to look beyond my own limitations and recognize the greater power that strengthens me. It’s what built my faith and confidence to believe in the impossible. I’m also deeply grateful for the influence of my parents, family, mentors, and friends — their love and support have been instrumental in shaping the person I am today.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering is often the catalyst for change. There are lessons you can only learn in the valley—ones the mountaintop simply can’t produce. It’s in those low places that you truly discover what you’re made of. I’ve learned more about myself and others during difficult seasons than I ever have in times of success. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of wisdom to be gained in moments of joy and abundance, but seasons of lack and pain invite deep introspection—and sometimes, necessary correction.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
I believe my closest friends would say my faith in Jesus, my family, my mission to walk out my purpose, as well as my desire to help others find theirs —and them (my friends) are what matter most to me.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I’m in my element. When I’m operating in my gifting, both personally and professionally—a deep calm settles in. Take travel, for example. It can be hectic at times, yet it brings me peace because it feels so natural, like a fish in water to me. Whether I’m boarding a crowded flight to Dubai or sitting seaside, as I am today in Portofino, Italy, I find tranquility in simply being present in the moment.
