Episode 53: How to get Better Sleep with Khaliah O. Guillory

When we rob our body of adequate rest which according to the CDC is 7-9 hours, we don’t give our bodies a chance to recover.

Courage Up Moment

It was the moment Khaliah decided she was going to exit and retire from Corporate America and fulfill her dreams of being a full-time entrepreneur.


The Catalyst to Pivot Away from Corporate America

The Executive Vice President of HR said I don’t know why we’re having these keynote speakers that we bring in paying them thousands of dollars to get our teams fired up when we have you on payroll. It was meant to be a compliment, but it got her thinking. The next day she went to the courthouse and filed for her DBA for her speaking gigs and then filed for her LLC.

Khaliah started Nap Bar because her intention was to solve the 411 Billion dollar US Economic loss. Speaking was the catalyst, Nap Bar was go. Nap Bar was the SpringBoard.
