Pleasure to be here.

Freddy D
00:01:33.360 – 00:01:42.480
So tell us a little bit about your backstory of how did you come up with Unstoppable you. What was the story before Unstoppable you?

Victoria Pelletier
00:01:43.690 – 00:02:25.170
Well, first of all, Unstoppable is my life’s philosophy and mantra. I will never let anything prevent me from achieving the goal or objective I’ve set for myself I’ve had for over 20 years.

I am a corporate executive, but I have both built, bought and sold a number of companies. Unstoppable youe has been very adjacent to the work that I’ve done as an executive for the past 25 years.

I coach business leaders, I do personal brand coaching, a professional public speaker, and I’ve written several books, the first of which was also entitled Unstoppable. The publishers approached me for that so I figured it was karma. So I had to contribute to that book and so I’ve been loving that ever since.

Freddy D
00:02:25.890 – 00:02:27.890
And what came up with the Unstoppable?

Victoria Pelletier
00:02:28.130 – 00:03:55.400
So a big part of who I am and what I speak and coach people on is around authenticity, around vulnerability and being comfortable in sharing life and professional experience. My story is I had a very traumatic childhood and adopted out of a very difficult situation to a family with lower socioeconomic means.
