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

Hi Francesca, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind having my own brand is being as authentic as possible, and as cliche as it sounds: do not give up. In all fields of life there will be ups & downs, high & lows, but if you keep pushing, working, and dreaming your goal won’t ever die. Instead, it will grow in different ways you’ve never imagined. Each day is a new opportunity we have to come up with new ideas and work harder and smarter, so keep on keeping on and trust the process.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I consider myself a kid. Sounds silly but it’s true. I see the world through the eyes of a child that daydreams nonstop. I have lots of imagination and ideas that I need to bring to reality. I guess “normal” life or routine scares me and bores me, so I am always looking for ways that I can express myself and my ideas through creativity and merging them with business, so I can make a living out of it. It is a tough process, but if you feel passionate about it, nothing will ever stop you and those ideas will be real some day. The only lesson I would give anyone is do it, but do it from your heart. Do it with passion. Do it because it makes you happy and makes you grow. Do it for your own approval, and the rest will follow. There will be challenges, lots of challenges and disappointments, but they will make you grow as hell. At the end of the day, if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
First of all, I love Miami. Since I became economically and emotionally independent I started to see the beauty and all the fun this city has to offer. There are endless possibilities. I am a huge fan of nature, but I also love the hustle, and Miami gives you both. A day in my life would be waking up early, coffee, sitting on my computer to get some work done (I am the most morning person you can imagine, can get the whole day done in the AM). After, I’ll get dressed up with my best outfit cause you never know what may happen that day, and start the hustle around the city. After getting that done, I’ll catch up with my friends at the beach to get some vitamin D, swim in the ocean, yoga, meditate, talk, etc. I need the ocean almost everyday. To finish, my favorite place to go out at night would be Lagniappe House. I could go there everyday without getting bored. There’s nothing that some delicious wine and cheese can’t fix.

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?
Of course, I would love to give a shoutout and credit to my family. They are the reason behind who I am and where I am in life right now. Starting off with the values they raised me with, the confidence they gave me, the trust they gave me, and giving me the opportunity to start my own business. They are entrepreneurs as well, and have their own company, so I’ve been in that environment since I was born. They gave me the skills to start it and most importantly: the skill of believing in myself. Since then, they have been my mentors and guidance through this journey and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.
