Hi friends, it's Levi. I'm publishing a special interview I had with Kim Robinson. I've had the pleasure of going through tons of mock interviews with her -- and every one is a little moment of joy. She simply shines wherever she is, and I hope you enjoy listening to her episode. Here's a note from Kim:Greetings! I’m Kim Robinson and the reigning Mrs. Kentucky America! I’ve been married to my husband, Andy, for over six years! We are truly a Match.com success story. Andy works as an agronomist throughout the Midwest. Together we are proud “fur parents” to our senior rescue dog, Abby! Professionally I live, sleep, eat, and breathe all things fitness! I graduated from Ball State University in 2006 with a degree in Exercise Science, Health & Fitness. For over a decade I have worked in all areas of the fitness industry. Most recently I have designed, opened, and now operate two Snap Fitness locations in Western Kentucky. My platform, “Defying Disabilities,” works to include those with and without disabilities in all activities. Growing up with the disability of a speech impediment I understand the challenges and hurdles those with any disability can face. Over the past several years I have been an advocate for inclusion with the National Inclusion Project and the Special Olympics.Random fun facts about me: I’m a competitive distance runner, stair climber and I enjoy entering baking competitions (#balance).
