Michelle Renda is the Founder of Trading Places. She graduated from The Ohio State University and worked at a Transportation Logistics company. She started in the Filing Room and worked just about every job in the company, ending her career as the Assistant VP of Customer Solutions. Burned out after 20 years of the corporate grind, Michelle took a leap of faith and followed her heart and passion for interior design, shopping and home decor and opened Trading Places, an upscale furniture consignment store. Growth was swift over 15 years, including two expansions and a move to a 12,000 SF facility along with shipping furniture and home decor nation-wide with a Shopify website. Upon completion of Tony Robbin’s Business Mastery course, Michelle continues to focus on profitability in her business through process improvements and leveraging technology.
