- 0:00Hey, it's Dune here.

- 0:30Welcome back. Here are the six quick questions. So question number one is what's your why? Why are you doing what you're doing? Because I want the world to see everything glass half full. I love that. Me too.
- 0:56Question number two is what do you think has been the number one marketing moment that made the business pop? Oh, definitely. That email viral campaign that put us on the map. That's a mind-blowing one. I think that's like the most mind-blowing moment I've experienced hearing on the show. Crazy, crazy stuff. Question number three is where do you hang out to get smarter? What are you reading or listening to or subscribing to?
- 1:24Other female founders. I'm a member of the Female Founder Collective and, you know, just being with other founders in a safe, honest space. I love Female Founder Collective. I've had Ali and Rebecca on the show and they're just so amazing. So many synergies. Question number four is how do you win the day? What are your AM or PM rituals and habits that keep you feeling successful and happy and productive?
- 1:52So I run or sweat every morning. If I'm not running, I'm jumping on a trampoline or doing something. But endorphins are the way that I wake up. And running on the beach is my heaven. Sometimes to really bad music. Awesome music like Debbie Gibson. Electric Youth was on my playlist this morning. What do I do at the end of the night? I make sure I'm present for bedtime with my kids. Bedtime stories. Yeah, or just snuggles. Like best part of your day. Let's talk about it.
- 2:20Absolutely. I got a dog and of course I can't compare dogs to children, but snuggling with my dog is literally the highlight of my mornings and evenings. Yes. Yeah. So you want to just like, you want to record it. It's so good. It is so good. There's nothing better. Question number five is if you were given a thousand dollars of no strings attached grant money, where would you spend it in the business? What's the most important spend of a dollar for you?
- 2:50I think I would give it to my hardest working team member because I find that humans are the moat. You can't, you can't copy them. They're all unique. Love that. And last question, question number six is how do you deal with failure? What's your mindset and approach when things don't go to plan? It wasn't meant to be get up and move on. Yeah.
- 3:16Love it. Yeah. Yeah, it is. I fail all the time and it's, it's good. Skin your knees or bandaid on, move on. Skin your knees. I love that. That's really cool. Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to be on Female Setup Club today and share your journey with Lively.
