We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Glori Monroe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Glori, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
When I decided to start my business, I wanted to do something I personally enjoyed as a customer. So I began to brainstorm on things I like to do for fun and would pay money for. Spa’s has always been my go-to for fun and relaxation. So I thought, why not open my own sap. I believe if you are going to make money, you might as well make it doing something you personally enjoy.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, I am still new to ATL, and since the pandemic, I haven’t had many opportunities to enjoy this beautiful city. But thus far, I have enjoyed a few nice fine dining restaurants, cigar lounges, and parks. I would take my friends to Chops restaurants in Buckhead, Cigaros of Austell, and of course the Battery in Marietta. Home of the Braves.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
On my journey, it has been many ups and downs. Good times and bad times. Growing pains. Somethings I would do over if I had the chance. But I am grateful! I am not where I use to be, but I am growing beautifully. I don’t think I would have gotten this far without acknowledging God first in everything I do. He is the driving source and force behind my determination to be who he created me to be. And because it takes a village, I have to shout out my accountability team. My spiritual leadership, family, and friends; play a part in helping me stay focus on my goals and hold me accountable to the end. I am not sure if I would be thus far without them.
