Charlene Fike |  Endlessly curious.  Lover of ideas.  Chronic entrepreneur.

I am a relentless entrepreneur, creative problem-solver, and trend spotter. I’m a carefully attuned listener who loves helping unleash others to live fully and craft a life that matters.

In my 20′s I set two ambitious goals. To launch four businesses and explore every continent (except Antarctica) before turning 40. I reached the first, and missed the second by two years. My husband Doug’s photography website is a good window into our travels. 

I continue to work on business development and mentoring emerging business leaders. I’m truly passionate about networking artisans and creating marketing platforms which empower disadvantaged women across cultures.

I’m a gourmet cook, avid reader, and adventurous traveler. You’ll find me collecting found objects, sampling new world wines, and exploring markets around the globe.

Working Smart is a collection of insights and hacks gathered over time to help others working similar goals. I've had the privilege to collaborate with a host of amazing colleagues over the years, and individual products or courses here will pull in many fantastic voices I'm excited to introduce you to.
