Today we’d like to introduce you to Asia Howard.
Asia, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
As a certified registered nurse for the past 8 years, I wanted to move away from the bedside and focus on more preventative health measures.
In addition to being an RN, I became a flight attendant 4 years ago and began looking into ways to combat dehydration, jet lag, fatigue, and sinus infections. These are concerns I deal with daily as a flight attendant. In my searches, I landed on IV hydration and decided to receive an IV drip after a long 12 hr. flight from Greece.
Fast forward 1 year and Aviation Hydration was born as the name pays homage to both of my careers. I now provide hydration to many flight attendants and anyone battling common health concerns.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
This has been one of the toughest journeys I’ve ever embarked on. From nursing school to a very difficult flight attendant training, opening Aviation Hydration was an even more difficult learning curve.
From searching for a medical director and hiring a healthcare attorney to finding reputable pharmacies and learning all about marketing, the road to Aviation Hydration has been very rocky. It’s still an ongoing journey but I must say that I am glad to be on it.
As you know, we’re big fans of Aviation Hydration. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Aviation Hydration offers a variety of vitamins and minerals that can combat many different health concerns such as fatigue, cold/sinus symptoms, vitamin deficiencies, jet lag, hangovers, menstrual cramps, and workout/performance recovery.
Although jet lag drips are our specialty, I stop at nothing to get to know each individual’s concern and can even create custom cocktails so that everyone can leave feeling their best. I am proud to be a woman-owned business that has designed everything from the logo to the website all on my own.
I never let anything stop me and I’m always willing to learn new things. You’ll easily catch me googling anything I don’t know. If I can’t find the answer, I find someone who knows. I’ve put my all into having a successful business that is not only a success to me but to the people I serve.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
I don’t believe in luck. I believe in dedication, commitment, and the power of prayer.
Every step of this journey has involved me committing to seeing the process through. I wanted to give up SEVERAL times. Some days are still hard but with prayer, I know that all things are possible. It just takes a little work.
