Taking the Leap and Letting Go of Fear

What makes Robin’s story so inspiring is her just go for it mindset. Whether starting a new business, driving a school bus as a high school prank (yes, you read that right!), or expanding her offerings, Robin doesn’t let doubt get in the way.

"Failing would be not trying. I’m okay with things not working out. The important thing is to try."

Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs and dreamers?

• Take the first step: You don’t have to know all the answers. Just start.

• Believe in yourself: You’re worthy, and you have something unique to offer.

• Find your support system: Success doesn’t happen alone. Surround yourself with people who lift you up.

Wine, Tequila, and Favorite Memories

Of course, no conversation with Robin is complete without talking about wine (or tequila). Robin loves a good red wine with earthy tannins and a touch of spice, but she’s equally happy sipping a smooth tequila over ice with a dash of true lime.

Her favorite memories? They’re less about the drinks themselves and more about the connections built around them. From wine tastings where women dress in colorful themes to heart-to-heart conversations under the stars, Robin knows the magic happens when people come together.

"It’s not about one perfect moment. It’s about being present, enjoying the people you’re with, and building those connections."

What Would Robin Tell Her Younger Self?

To close our conversation, I asked Robin what advice she would give her younger self. Her answer?
