Makenzie Marzluff FOUNDER, DELIGHTED BY HUMMUS Makenzie Marzluff started with a healthy cookie-dough dip for a Super Bowl party using chickpeas and other sweet ingredients, and after a year of popularity amongst friends, she decided it was time to bring the first dessert hummus to others.

SHARK TANK SUCCESS Mackenzie launched in Scottsdale farmers’ markets and later appeared on Shark Tank, obtaining a partnership with Mark Cuban, helping to bring flavors like brownie batter, red velvet and snickerdoodle to national shelves.

"The product was extremely unique. Being the first to market, while it does have its challenges, certainly has its advantages. People pay attention, including the press," she says.

STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF Makenzie attended a retreat in Sedona that inspired her to pursue her passion for her product.

"I remember showing up to my first farmers' market with the intention of touching lives, not selling in mass quantity. I would ask customers, 'What are you delighted by today?'"

HAVE A VISION Makenzie wanted to veer from traditional business practices. She never wrote a business plan and believes that every challenge is just an opportunity to grow. Delighted By's mission is simple: to inspire others to spread their glitter.

"Delighted By is here to remind people that we can co-create a thriving, delightful, inspiring life for ourselves by knowing we are worthy of this."

Heather Elrod CEO, AMAZING LASH STUDIOS Heather Elrod has a compelling story about taking risks to open her own business while empowering other women to do the same in her business and in her community of North Scottsdale.

“I was inspired at a young age by my grandmother who was a female entrepreneur well before it was acceptable.

She left a legacy for my father who raised me with great encouragement and belief in myself."

ALL ENTREPRENEURS START WITH A DREAM The most common trait of successful entrepreneurs over time and through events of failure is tenacity, Heather says.

“We must never lose our passion and belief in our dream. Also, you must have a viable business plan for profitability and the resources to sustain you until you become profitable or your dream will not become a reality," she says. "According to the National Association of Women Business Owners, Women Business Owner Statistics, more than 11.6 million firms are owned by women, so it’s the perfect time for women to start a business."

HOW I INSPIRE OTHERS TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS Amazing Lash Studios allows women to fulfill their dreams on their terms.

“We have a franchisee who quit her job, sold her other businesses and opened an Amazing Lash Studio. She shared, tearfully, how it changed her life and saved her family. How fortunate am I to be part of that?”

SETTING A STANDARD Amazing Lash Studio is the industry leader in lash extensions with 216 studios across the country. They are industry innovators as well, launching several new lash services and other non-lash beauty-related services such as brow services.

WOMEN WHO INSPIRE

(CON TI N U ED)

Cathy Hotchkiss REAL ESTATE AGENT, NORTH SCOTTSDALE WALT DANLEY Cathy Hotchkiss began her real estate career in 2007 after being a licensed interior designer for 27 years. Her career move to real estate was a natural evolution as her design background is instrumental in assisting her real estate clients.

“My services include much more than just assisting clients. Clients are always needing referrals for movers, cleaners, etc.; some are part-time residents and need help with repair companies, access and supervision," she says. "My interior design background is very instrumental in assisting clients to see their current or future home’s potential.”

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Cathy participates on various committees, boards and women’s groups in North Scottsdale. She is a mentor to new agents and is always there for advice.

“I am a supporter of UMOM Phoenix which restores hope and rebuilds families’ lives by providing shelter, education and affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness of which the majority of admission is female-based,” she says.

KNOWLEDGE THROUGH EXPERIENCE Cathy knows that finding a seasoned agent is key when mentoring other agents in truly learning all the specifics of her business. From open houses to establishing comfort with buyers and sellers, she wants agents to understand the importance of being a neighborhood specialist and learn everything there is to know about that area.

ADVICE Professional designations help in becoming a better agent, and this is the advice she offers to others, as well as "never stop learning."

“I have been in this business 14 years and am still learning new things all the time.”

North Scottsdale Lifestyle | May 2019

Abby Feldman OWNER, NORTH SCOTTSDALE FIREWOOD AND NORTH SCOTTSDALE LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS Abby Feldman is a business owner in male-dominated fields. However, she has an important role model who helps her remember the confidence that comes with hard work.

INSPIRATION “I found my inspiration through my mom who was a never-ending student in education,” Abby says. “She was a reading specialist, assistant principal and taught at Syracuse University. Upon retirement, she provided volunteer services at our local Jewish Community elementary school. She is still a volunteer and is on a library board.”

HANDS-ON APPROACH “One of my companies [North Scottsdale Landscape Professionals] provides volunteer services for Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center. We make it so our companies are always available for an emergency like the recent North Scottsdale snow, which caused a lot of damage to the animal structures and several trees,” she says. “We were there first thing Monday morning and spent all day cleaning up the area. North Scottsdale Firewood delivers free firewood to Hunkapi Farms, an equine therapy facility. We are available at a moment’s notice—my philosophy is ‘just get it done!’”

TEAMWORK IS KEY “I refer to my employees as working with me, not for me.

I speak to them in an inquisitive, ‘what do you think’ manner. My landscape foreman takes the lead with the crews, and I have actually learned a lot from him. There must be a sense of happiness in the grueling day-to-day work life, so I want my employees to put family first and love what they do when they are at work.”

Entrepreneur and Philanthropist

Vivienne Gellert

Has Redefined how the Community Can Help the Homeless

WHEN A YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR AND ASPIRING MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL SAW AN OVERWHELMING NEED IN THE COMMUNITY TO ASSIST THE HOMELESS, SHE SHIFTED GEARS TOWARD A FUTURE IN PHILANTHROPIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITH AN IMPORTANT MISSION. "Elaine" has a purpose to improve the continuity of care for individuals experiencing homelessness through health navigation and transportation post-discharge from medical services. The cornerstone of this work is the belief that individuals experiencing homelessness are people who deserve care beyond survival.

The brainchild of Arizona State University pre-med student Vivienne Gellert, Elaine was named after an individual experiencing homelessness who tragically lost her life after being struck by a vehicle on the streets of Phoenix.

“We are working to fill an unmet need of connecting individuals experiencing homelessness to health care and behavioral

The direction of what was later named BAKPAK went into outreach events, and it was successful.

“People were out of the door waiting to interact with our team. What a wonderful culture we established at the Human Services Campus [a collaborative force comprising 25 partner organizations all working toward ending homelessness]. I started presenting to groups and neighborhood coalitions.”

Vivienne eventually obtained a meeting with the Banner Health chairperson. Upon reflection of what she wanted to present, as for a goal to help the homeless, she looked at the situation she was currently in.

“At the time, the Human Services Campus overflow shelter shut down," she says. "These individuals were prioritizing survival and standing in line for a mat to sleep on at one in the afternoon over attending court dates, health appointments., etc., and that was a serious hurdle in being able to successfully end their homelessness. Of course, these homeless individuals were going to prioritize a place to sleep. Who wouldn’t?”

That’s when Vivienne realized the real need that wasn’t being met: care beyond survival, or transportation and health navigation for individuals experiencing homelessness.

Vivienne’s presentation was a success. Soon, transportation protocol began, and other experts came on board. Elaine created a network of providers who work collaboratively.

“We are trusted and known. We got official sponsorship from the Valley Toyota Dealers Association who donated three new vehicles to Elaine. We also have wonderful partnerships with the Human Services Campus; Circle the City, which provides health care for the homeless; Caritas Law Group; Dignity Health; Ramsey Social Justice Foundation; TONAL; and the Herzberg Family.

We have built and maintained a culture within each client’s eyes. When an Elaine van is driving around or we’re in our uniforms, people are jumping and waving at us. My team has put that into action and made it a reality.”

Vivienne is happy to see her dreams become a reality at such a young age.

It is all about the personal stories that make her days meaningful.

“There was a patient diagnosed with cancer who wasn’t keeping up on his cancer treatment. He was connected with our navigator who went to the urologist with him and found out he had an aggressive form of cancer, but he had not been compliant with his care due to dementia," Vivienne says. "Our navigator and the doctor worked together on a care plan going forward and set up necessary tests. In one day our navigator set up all of his appointments and accompanied him. He comes to our lobby every morning to meet with and take medications with our navigator. There has been a massive change in his life. His is a great example of what our work is doing for these individuals. We asked him, 'Why do you care about your health now?' And he said he feels wanted. It’s amazing.”

We are confident that Elaine will translate to other vulnerable populations that need us: the elderly, disabled … We are creating a national model for all these individuals and a blueprint so others can implement this important process. ” –VIVIENNE GELLERT, CEO OF ELAINE

WARM-UP (15 MINUTES) Prevent climbing injuries and prepare your body for strength training with 20 bodyweight squats, 10 walking lunges per leg, one minute of head rolls, front shoulder raises (two sets of 15 reps) and bicep curls (two sets of 20 reps).

AZ on the Rocks Offers Custom Women's Workout REACH THE PEAK OF YOUR FITNESS GOALS WITH A FUN AND EFFECTIVE PLAN

AZ ON THE ROCKS OFFERS A WORKOUT THAT BOTH CHALLENGES AND IMPROVES YOUR CLIMBING TECHNIQUE. Once a month, they partner with the Arizona Women’s Climbing Coalition to host Women on the Rocks, and the workout is specifically geared toward those looking to work with other women in a supportive environment, focused on strength and fitness. Partaking in this popular activity promotes teamwork and individual growth, with more than 14,000 square feet of climbing available at the Scottsdale facility.

PEAK PHASE This is your primary working phase where you will challenge yourself on routes that are in your upper level of capability but not your absolute limit. You will climb one 5.10, followed by one 5.10+, then by another 5.10. Rest for three to five minutes between climbs. While climbing, always practice using “quiet feet” and mindfully placing your foot on each hold.

2

CLIMBING WORKOUT (1–1 1/2 HOURS) A climbing pyramid is the key to this workout. The idea of a climbing pyramid is simple: start with a few easier climbs progressing to more difficult ones closer to your limit, then slowly work your way back down. This promotes beneficial strength and technique adaptations and reduces the chance of injury.

For this workout, the example of a 5.10 climber is used to present the pyramid.

4

COOL-DOWN PHASE This block is the reverse of the warm-up. Start with two 5.9 routes, then two 5.8 routes to finish it off. Again, rest for three to five minutes between each climb, and make sure to focus on climbing slowly and smoothly.
