With a reputation for rocking her Gothic style with a hint of badassery, she currently resides in Boston (MA). Nefertiti chooses to find beauty and inner peace by cultivating and sharing her Ikebana skills, adorning her space for private enjoyment and brightening the life of many people regularly – both in person and virtually – as she is part of the creative team at a flower shop that specializes in exotic arrangements. Upon deep reflection of our current societal landscape with its challenges, implications, limitations and even scarcities, Nefertiti decided to refine her signature arts residencies and educational programs, adding neuroscience and psychoimmunology into the equation, along with some Japanese philosophy and Humanistic Buddhism. The result: a hybrid of healing arts and stress management tricks, tips and hacks for better living and a more Zen environment. www.etniafusion.comAbout the Host: Duff Gardner is an award-winning 7-figure marketer, startup founder and digital producer. Today, he leverages his 30+ years in a diverse range of businesses and his journey overcoming a series of out-of-the-blue panic attacks to help impact-driven entrepreneurs leverage the power of what he calls “startup thinking” to start, scale and serve in a big way. He is the host of the podcast Off My Duff - The Entrepreneur Podcast and Founder of the training company Offers that Sell. Duff holds an MSc. in Learning Sciences and Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley, is a fierce advocate of LGBT+ rights and animal rescue, and lives in beautiful Victoria BC. His mantra is: “teach what you love, live from your truth”.www.offmyduff.com Website -
