Ep 23. Turning Your Pain Into Purpose: Manning Sumner, Stevi Allen, & Gigi Giusti

The Big Dawgs

In this episode of The Big Dawgs podcast, host Manning Sumner is joined by two remarkable guests: Stevi Allen, the founder of Ink Angel, a Fort Lauderdale-based cosmetic tattooing studio, and Gigi Giusti, a pre-construction real estate expert and co-partner of LEGACY gym in Fort Lauderdale with Manning Sumner. Together, the three of them explore the transformative journey of turning personal pain into purpose.

Stevi candidly shares her inspiring journey of being a single mother with virtually nothing and evolving into the successful founder of Ink Angel- thanks to the support of friends like Gigi, who provided the encouragement needed to shift from a victim mentality to taking action, as she had gone through a similar experience. They discuss the importance of feeling and releasing your emotions, rather than suppressing them. As well as the significance of belonging to a strong fitness community like LEGACY, caring more about yourself than about what others think by being authentic, and maintaining unwavering consistency.

Their resounding message to listeners is clear: There are no problems, only solutions, as long as you stop waiting, stop wanting, and start DOING. Join them in this powerful conversation and embark on your own path of transformation.
