A Frothy Monkey Coffee Chat with Olivia Schwartz
My good friend Stephen Schwartz, CEO of LION Group, reminded me recently that his daughter Olivia Frances Schwartz was still in Nashville. So, we decided to connect over a cup of coffee at Frothy Monkey in The Nations, near my office at Office Evolution Greater Nashville.
We had such an awesome conversation. Right from the start Olivia’s ability to connect with people made a huge impact on me and is nothing short of a superpower. Her positive energy, entrepreneurial spirit, and drive to share her knowledge, experience, and love of life are qualities I hope everyone reading this post can embrace.
A Few Moments That Stayed with Me
Clark Connection
Hearing your story about possibly being Clark University’s first remote MBA test taker and realizing we share that connection was a fun surprise.Biking & Sustainability
Our mutual love of biking and sustainability (& the fact that we just went on a biking trip to Norway!)Family & Creativity
The fact that my daughter is also an artist & very creative (another connection we share, along with Stephen Schwartz)Music
Olivia referenced being a fan of Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus, which made me laugh because I am a big fan as well. Music really does cut across age and background.Unexpected Connections
Ending up in Nashville with shared ties to Cincinnati and Worcester just reinforces how small the world can feel when you take the time to connect.
Olivia is expanding her network, and I encourage anyone reading to reach out and get connected. She will make an impact, and you’ll love her music!
