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

Hi Jolante, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The “Cancer Makeover” was born during my own cancer battle. Evolving through cancer brought many realizations, marked my soul, and led me to my new life mission.
My personal makeover experience turned out to be: therapeutic, empowering, transformational, anxiety reducing, joyful and uplifting, life changing. Ever since, I felt, that providing this kind of special care/ service would make coping with cancer and survivorship a little easier. I wanted to be of service to others.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Today I am the founder of Creative Cancer Care. I also am a mature commercial model. In the past I was a co owner of a family operated import/export automobile business located in Germany and in the US. That role was very demanding and set me up to become creative and resilient. I had to manage, lead and deliver the highest customer service and product quality to my clients and employees. Yet going and evolving through cancer helped me realize that helping others makes me happy and fulfilled. Therefore worthwhile pursuing and living for.

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.
