We had the good fortune of connecting with Emilie Schario and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Emilie, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
My husband and I are two full-time working parents and we’ve both come to appreciate that there is no such thing as “work life balance.” Some days have more work than life and some days have more life than work. Rather than look at it on a particular day’s basis, we instead focus on the bigger picture. Did I watch my toddler do something new this week? Did I get a couple of snuggles in the morning? Did I spend one on one time with each of my kids? It is a cliché to say that when it comes to parenting little kids, the days are long, but the years are short. Two things can be true at the same time: you can love your job and your kids, and with the right support system around you, you can figure out an integration model that works.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Turbine is the next generation ERP for companies that manage physical inventories. Turbine solves the hardest inventory problems for multi-channel businesses, helping them order the right items at the right time and operate more efficiently across procurement, inventory, supply chain/operations, and accounting workflows.

Being a solo founder can be hard and difficult, but working to see my customers be more successful is an exciting and empowering opportunity that helps remind me why I do it every day.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I only had one afternoon in Atlanta, we’re going to Ponce City Market so we can people-watch and eat oysters from Fish Camp. That’s it. That’s the afternoon.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
One of the most important, important groups of people to my professional and personal successes over the last three years is undoubtedly the folks who have cared for my child, while I have been working. While the US is undoubtedly in a childcare crisis, my family has been lucky enough to have an incredible support system at our daycare- Ms. Shaun, Ms. Kim, Ms. Macie, Ms. Lakiah, Ms. Bettsey, Ms. Vera, and so many others who love on my kids like they are their own. It take a village to raise a child and they are part of mine.
