What lessons did Cristina Busu learn from growing up in communist Romania?
I teach my clients, but they also teach me. I've learned a lot from them and how to teach them. And building that curriculum has been a task. But the way the curriculum works, it has many facets to it. But the main important thing that I want my staff to know, you don't teach skills just to teach skills. Anybody can do that.
Sure.
Right? We teach skills that our kiddos can use.
Christina Busu is a compassionate, resilient, and purpose-driven entrepreneur, behavior analyst, and the founder of Help Hope Solutions. Through her work, she helps children with autism and their families build independence, confidence, and meaningful progress through compassionate care.
The one thing I really, really, really try hard to do is leave my hat work. Not at work. Put it in a closet when I'm with my girls. Because I can never put it off. I cannot leave my work at work. As a business owner, you can't.
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis! Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago was the lead. You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet.
Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is Cristina Busso. According to my notes, she is a board certified behavioral analyst. That sounds very fancy. Help Hope Solutions. What is that? Is that the name of your company?
Yes, that is the name of the company that I founded in 2007. And it's a multidisciplinary clinic that offers applied behavior analysis therapy for children with autism. And then we added speech and occupational therapists the last few years.
Right on. I love the word in the middle is disciplinary. Yeah. I always like to say, you know, you can always be happy, but there's a discipline to the happiness. Talk about what your disciplines are at this academy. Let's call it that.
Applied behavior analysis. Beautiful. And then we have occupational therapy, speech therapy, and we can offer physical therapy, but there's not really a need for that right now. But we do have it as a service.
Right on. So that is your today. You just finished filming your episode for Women in Power.
Yes.
First of all, how do you feel?
Great. I mean, it was a great experience. It's just, you know, it's very difficult to talk about yourself for that long sometimes, but it was great.
But do you feel a little more powerful? Do you feel like you belong in these rooms now? Like, hey, I did those things.
Yeah, it makes you really see how far you've come over the last 20 years and what it actually took to get here. So it does make you feel like very accomplished for sure.
Very cool. What will we get to learn about you? Give us a preview.
So you get to learn about me growing up in communist Romania.
Oh, wow.
A whole different way of growing up. It's a very different type. It was because it's not communist anymore. But it was a very different society that I grew up in. I have so many stories about what it was like. And then you learn how I got to where I am, what made me start this company, and how we grew from a thousand square feet office to two clinics. They're each 10,000 square feet. So it's been a journey for sure, but that's pretty much what it took to get here. Some advice for people who want to be in this position of a business owner, because it's not always easy. It comes with a lot of... um, heartbreak sometimes, but a lot of success too.
So, uh, something that I've, I've learned doing these podcasts and just doing, you know, the guff for as long as I have being an entrepreneur is very much a storyteller. You're, you're storytelling, you're, you're essentially fabricating your own reality and folks are jumping on board and following you along because of your amazing story. Every entrepreneur has must have, must have a rags to riches or riches to riches or richest rags, whatever. There needs to be essentially a hero's journey.
