How did you get started with your current career path/business journey?** I launched indipop from my own struggle to find affordable healthcare when I left the corporate world and went out on my own. I did find a solution and now bringing it to self employed professionals who we call the "Independent Population". **What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute your success to, and why?** Determination and passion for helping those that are going without healthcare or paying 3x the rates! **What’s a mistake you made early on in your career, or in your business, and what did you learn from it?** I could look back and say "I should have made a left and instead went right but then I would not be exactly where I am supposed to be and that is here". A couple of lessons I would have told my younger self is it doesn't matter where you start it is where you land, sometimes life is not a straight line and to enjoy and learn from the curves in the road. And do not let fear prevent you from taking a leap to pursue a goal or dream. **What’s one professional skill you’re currently working on?** Successfully wearing five hats! Breathing, I am working on letting go the things which I have no control over.   **How do you invite others to take a seat at the table?** I think we are stronger together than apart and use my 20+ year network to help unite people together. Everyone has a story to tell, I try and be the ears to listen to it be told. **What is one thing you wish you knew a year ago?** Buy more Bitcoin. **What impact has Luminary made in your career? eg: Business Generated, Revenue, New Clients, Career Connections, Advancement Opportunities** I knew from the first event I went to Luminary was special and even thousands of miles away I felt an instant connection to the Luminaries in NY. I have met powerhouse women who have become indipop members as well as amazing friends. *https://www.indipop.co/ @theindipop linkedin.com/in/melissablatt* ## Comments ### Luminary News News and Articles about Luminary. ### Subscribe for News Updates ### Topics - [Cate Luzio (30)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/cate-luzio) - [Luminary Team Highlight (38)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/luminary-team-highlight) - [Member Highlight (1)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/member-highlight) - [News (73)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/news) - [The Glass Ceiling (4)](https://www.weareluminary.com/asseenin/tag/the-glass-ceiling) [![Luminary-2](https://www.weareluminary.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Luminary-2.png?width=1081&height=1081&name=Luminary-2.png "Luminary-2")](https://www.weareluminary.com/home) ###### Location **NoMad** 1204 Broadway New York, NY 10001 (646) 876 - 8680   ###### Hours **Monday-Thursday** 8:30am - 7pm **Friday** 8:30am - 6pm **Saturday** 10am - 4pm ###### Social [**](https://twitter.com/weareluminary_) [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/weareluminary) [**](https://www.instagram.com/weareluminary/) [**](https://www.facebook.com/weareluminary) ### Stay updated with our latest news and events. © 2022 Luminary Legacy, LLC.
