Marylin Dans is a true Girl Boss. At the age of 23, she founded South Atlantic Mortgage Corporation, a boutique mortgage center. While doing that business, she worked on developing multi-million dollar waterfront properties and lhelped a friend grow their real estate attorney business. Later in life, she sent two of her employees to a medical device convention in China, which then led to the creation of Pink Luminous Breast. She felt a spiritual obligation to create this due to family history with breast cancer. Here, the entrepreneur shares her insider’s guide—her “haute secrets”—to Miami.
