As we close out our series celebrating and recognizing couples who work together in business this month we’re excited to feature Nick and Asia from @paintedpeopletattoos!

These two met 12 years ago when Asia was tattooing in Hamilton and Nick accidentally wandered into the wrong studio!

“I ended up tattooing him a couple of weeks later and we instantly connected, it felt like we had known each other our entire lives.”

What made them open a business together?

“We both share a love of art. Nick has a background in computer science and had been wanting to spend less time in the office, and I was finally ready to venture out on my own after tattooing for 11 years in Hamilton for another studio. We then started experimenting with natural skincare products, realizing that making soap is an art form in itself, and expanded to various products shortly after.”

Their advice for couples starting out in business?

“It’s important to have patience and embrace the occasional (or frequent in our case) conflicting views and ideas that will undoubtedly come-up. Practice conscious separation of work and private life, it’s great to work together towards a common goal but just as important to forget about work.”

Read their full interview on our link in bio along with all the couples in business who make our downtown a great place to work, live and play.

It’s #WellnessWednesday and we’re excited that

It’s #WellnessWednesday and we’re excited that our gyms are BACK OPEN!

Today we’re featuring Ian Grimmer, owner of @strivestrengthandfitness located at 616 Brant Street. He opened his business exactly 1 year ago when the unthinkable happened… Fast forward 1 year and 2 lockdowns later, he’s excited to finally open his doors once again.

With over 30 years experience in the health & wellness industry he opened his own space after moving to Canada from Newcastle, England. For the past 11 years he’s worked as a personal trainer at multiple fitness facilities.

“As I got to know my clients (many as friends) they often told me that they only went to these facilities because of me and my training, so I decided it was time to open my own space and create an environment that felt friendly yet exclusive, and that my clients would love.”

What made him locate downtown Burlington?

“I live in Burlington and previously worked downtown for 8 years. All my clients live and work downtown so it made sense to open here. I absolutely love the downtown Burlington community and the small town feel in a sprawling city. With all the events that take place here (particularly The Sound of Music and Ribfest) Burlington truly is a great place to live and work!”

His piece of advice for new entrepreneurs?

“Easy. Just do it! Don’t procrastinate, and be prepared to learn as you go….and of course open in downtown Burlington as you couldn’t pick a better place!”

We also asked him if he could eat any food for the rest of his life, what would it be?

“Pizza. Wellness is more than just about working out, it is part of a lifestyle that includes mental health, fitness, nutrition and so much more. I tell my clients if you are going to treat yourself then why not go big (but not frequent) it’s all about balance.”

Thanks Ian, and huge congrats on your 1st year in business. Here’s to many more!

As we continue to celebrate and recognize couples

As we continue to celebrate and recognize couples who work together in business this month we’re excited to feature Lisa-Marie & Dave from @winningandassociates, IG Private Wealth Management.

These two have both been in the investment industry for over 25 years and started working together 11 years ago.❤️

“We decided in January of 2011 that I would focus my efforts on looking after the advisors in our office and Lisa-Marie would look after our clients primarily. She has a very strong analytical background and she is amazing with clients. The timing was great because we were both looking for different challenges within our firm.”

The best thing about working together?

“Answer #1 – We don’t have explain who’s who in our company or industry terminology to each other.
Answer #2 – We get to drive to work together, eat lunch together, and go home together every day of the week…yes, every single day…… now we don’t even have to leave the house… 😊.”

The secret to work-life balance in their relationship?

“The 2 of us run extremely busy practices and so it’s really nice that we completely understand the sacrifices that each other need to make to keep our businesses humming. However, sometimes one of us wants to keep the work conversations flowing while the other wants to completely disconnect and catch up on their Instagram feed 😊”

In addition to working right here in our downtown core these two are Ward 2 residents that are consistently supporting our community we are forever grateful for!!
