We had the good fortune of connecting with Favian Hernandez and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Favian, what are you inspired by?
Adversity. As people, we consistently come across challenges and it’s inspiring seeing how we all adjust, conquer and take over our greatest fears. In the Health & Wellness industry, you consistently see these individuals overcoming their fears and coming out on top. As a small business owner seeing people do this on a day-to-day basis keeps me focused and driven to push forward with my vision and mission of helping my community, and individuals transform into their daily best selves.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
When I first thought of creating a brand or building a business I was filled with so much doubt not being able to comprehend, what I call my “powers & abilities”. I didn’t know what I had to offer the world or those around me. One evening walking into the facility I was once working for as an IV specialist. A moment came to light as I spoke with this client, I realized I brought peace and tranquility to others even if it was just for an hour. As I slowly started doing self-development activities and building better habits and honing my “power & abilities”. It hit me I was like “OK, I can see my new path. I will spend the next 5 years helping people feel, look, and strive to be their best”. Of course, things are easier said than done. My next challenge was, “How am I different from other wellness facilities” and this is when it hit me “it’s me that makes a difference”. Using the knowledge I”ve accumulated over the past 10+ years working with Orthopedic Surgeons, Family Medicine, Cardiovascular MD, EMS Rescue, and working in a Trauma 1 Emergency Room. It’s what gave me the upper hand. Understanding the problems that are life-threatening and how I can educate, support, and guide others down the healthier path.
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?
I love this question! I would have to say anything beach. Something about the ambiance and being near the water takes you to another place. The people are happy and outgoing, and there is always fresh seafood and good music. Miami always has some hidden gems and places where I can go and just really enjoy myself. So with that being said, I will keep it my little secret. Hahaha.
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?
This dedication section will have to go to my mother, As a man just another body with expectations and societal standards. My mother has played the role of being my rock, my number 1 fan & support. Without her support, I wouldn’t have made such progress in all sections of my career and personal growth.
