Meet Terran Smith

We were lucky to catch up with Terran Smith recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Terran, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
I acquired my resilience from two things: grit and adversity. Allow me to elaborate, grit is something you are born with. Adversity is something you face, which build your tenacity and resilience and ability to overcome, despite facing enormous challenges. Grit is an interesting characteristic that I’ve had people point out to me since I was a small child. Grit is something that is intangible, that allows you to have an edge, while also being able to be true to yourself. It is such an important balance between being raw and being authentic. Adversity is the conflict you face in your life, that you do not allow to upheave or destroy you. I have developed my resilience by neatly having grit, and by inadvertently facing enormous challenges of adversity in my life experience.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
First and foremost, I am an independent contractor, who is very passionate about helping others through modalities that have helped myself. I am a certified, personal trainer, nutritionist, yoga, teacher, dance, instructor, and group, fitness, professional. I am also a journalist by trade, my degree is from the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas. I acquire my income from a variety of sources and methods. I am in Amazon, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, influencer, who specializes in the realm of fashion, fitness, and lifestyle content. I combine all of my accreditation’s and skill sets to provide services with the goal of uplifting and inspiring other individuals. I also specialize in voiceover and commercial production. And I even also spend time teaching and tutoring students of a variety of age levels with a variety of special needs. I have found it so important to focus on the things that I am very good at, that I am very passionate about, and that provide me with the means to support myself, and live out my most happy experience on this planet.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
A wise friend once told me that all God, or you could ask of yourself, is to live with integrity, honesty, and by doing the very best that you can. I think if you combine those three things and you really implement them fully, you will see success. It is so important to make sure that you pursue things you really desire with a base of integrity, so that people aren’t going to be able to pull the wool over your eyes or pull the rug out from under you. You must have integrity first and foremost. Next, it is so important to be honest with yourself, and with those around you for many different obvious reasons which I don’t need to delve into. in the last, and most important in my opinion, is doing your absolute very best to your personal ability on any given day. Sometimes that’s going to be resting, and sometimes that’s going to mean pushing yourself further than you want to even though you don’t feel like it that day. If you are early in your journey in your process of building your business, give yourself grace to take a day off. If you were early in your business in process, push yourself to try a little bit harder than you might want to. Both of those things may seem like they contradict each other, but they actually help create perfect Harmony, and balance, when you truly listen to your inner guide.

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?
One of the huge things I really want to do in my social media business and my experience as a fitness, professional, and a yoga retreat host, is to collaborate with other professionals, and like minded creative individuals. I make all sorts of content from yoga and fitness related content to you, GC, and promotional, commercial content to promoting new music and dance video content. I am totally open to collaborating with any types of artistic, creative, fitness, lifestyle, you name it brands. And if you want to reach out to me, you can direct message me at my TikTok or Instagram @terranraesmith or email me directly at heyterran@gmail.com.

The BIGGEST project I have going right now is my sister and I started a yoga retreat company. This lady’s exclusive lap of luxury, all inclusive, traveling and yoga retreat experience has a variety of locations in the upcoming calendar years of 2024 & 2025, with Kansas City, Sedona, and Southwest France all on the map for venture locales.
