We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Christina Specos a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Christina , thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?
I grew up blue collar… mom a secretary / hair dresser and dad a construction worker. I saw the early mornings, the late evenings / overtime, the literal building from scratch and working with hands, making something out of nothing. I was truly influenced by taking control and executing as much as possible and being as resourceful as a pocketknife as much as possible.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
In 2018, I moved to Miami Beach and established Specos Enterprises. My company offers in-person and online personal training, nutrition coaching, extensive work in the Pilates method, Massage Therapy, and of course mindset work to create a comprehensive approach that serves a diverse clientele to become the best version of themselves via both in-person and via online coaching.
I’m really passionate about personal growth and development and spreading support however possible and I enjoy sharing my 24 years of experience, both technical knowledge and practical experiences, and especially in a fun manner interviewing guests and debating health topics on my newest project, my podcast, entitled SpecTalk. You can find it on Youtube and Spotify!
As a personally and professionally accomplished woman who has experienced adversity in a male dominated profession, it is my passion and mission to inspire and advise other women HOW to remain true to themselves and rise up to break stereotypes and succeed despite difficulty and resistance! I like to maintain a commitment to a high-performance lifestyle as an IFBB professional bodybuilder in the women’s physique division.
My brand is all about authenticity: no B.S. approach to getting your health, mind and body right, and support to the highest level. With the right support system, I believe that we all CAN indeed achieve our desired physiques, careers, and lives!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The three qualities that got me farthest in my career is perseverance, tenacity and curiosity.
When I truly want something, I stop at nothing to achieve it. I continue to focus on that goal and always question everything in order to learn, understand and growl
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
YES!! I love collaborating on podcasts or events! I’d love to contribute to others by being a speaker for them as well. My passion is spreading knowledge and fun and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with other professionals who enjoy having fun while educating and inspiring others.
If you are a fellow coach, business owner, health/wellness brand, podcaster, etc. I’d love to connect via instagram @christinaspecos or email christina@christinaspecos.com to discuss ways to collaborate and grow and serve together!
