Meet Amanda Farris

We were lucky to catch up with Amanda Farris recently and have shared our conversation below.
Amanda, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Finding my purpose has been about connecting deeply with the world around me and striving to make a positive impact. I believe that small gestures, like a simple smile, can start a chain reaction of kindness and positivity. This idea is at the heart of LinkUnite, where we aim to foster an environment filled with support, growth, and creativity. We want our organization to be a place where positivity flows freely from every member and leader.
I am driven by the belief that everyone has untapped potential. It’s about helping to reveal that potential, allowing people to grow and illuminate their own paths. At LinkUnite, we support each other and celebrate our successes together. It’s about creating a community where everyone feels they have someone to back them up and shine a light on their strengths, especially during challenging times. This approach is not just about personal fulfillment but about building a supportive and inspiring community.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
At the heart of what I do, both personally and professionally, is a dedication to fostering positivity and community. I lead LinkUnite with my partner Sara Malo, an organization committed to supporting individuals in their personal and professional growth. We focus on creating an environment where everyone can thrive, fostering creativity, love, and connectivity. This ethos permeates every aspect of our activities, from small gatherings to large-scale events.
What excites me most about our work is seeing the tangible impact of our community. When individuals feel supported and valued, they achieve incredible things, and that’s a daily inspiration. Our members become leaders, not only within our community but also in their respective fields, spreading the principles of support and positivity wherever they go.
Regarding new developments, we are currently expanding our reach by hosting more frequent virtual meetings and live events, making our resources more accessible to a broader audience. We’re also excited about upcoming collaborative projects that blend creativity with community support, including new workshops and monthly series of monthly meetups that explore the intersection of creativity and personal development.
Our brand is about more than just events and meetings; it’s about building a legacy of empowerment and connection. It’s for anyone eager to make a difference in their life and the lives of others. We’re here to light that path, and we invite everyone to join us in this journey of growth and positivity.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Reflecting on my journey, three things have been particularly impactful: my curiosity, my efforts in building community, and my exploration of how spiritual values can coexist with business goals.
My curiosity has always driven me to keep learning and evolving. It’s about constantly questioning and adapting, which has helped me stay flexible and open to new possibilities. Building a strong community has also been essential. It’s not just about gathering people—it’s about creating a supportive space where everyone feels connected and valued. This sense of community has enriched my life immensely and has been a cornerstone of my work.
Blending the spiritual with the practical aspects of business has helped me create a more holistic approach to entrepreneurship. It’s about ensuring that our work is meaningful and that it respects and reflects our deeper values. Alan Watts captured this beautifully when he said, “This is the real secret of life—to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.” This perspective has influenced how I approach my work, infusing it with joy and turning professional pursuits into a form of play.
For those starting their own paths, remember to stay grounded and supportive. Keep in touch with where you came from and always carry a sense of gratitude for what you have. These attitudes will help you build strong relationships and a supportive network that will be invaluable as you move forward.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
If you’re interested in partnering with LinkUnite, there are several ways we can work together to promote community, support, and growth, and we’re always open to new ideas as well:
Corporate Partnerships: We welcome organizations eager to support our mission, whether through resource contributions to our events, both online and in-person, or by co-hosting events to enhance our impact.

Mentorship Program: There’s an opportunity for your experienced leaders to guide emerging professionals by joining our mentorship program, aligning with your corporate social responsibility goals.
Internship Opportunities through the LINK Program: Partnering for internships allows your organization to bring fresh perspectives to your team while supporting the educational and professional development of our members.
Content Collaboration: We’re also keen to collaborate on creating digital and in-person content, such as webinar series, workshops, or articles, which can foster knowledge sharing and innovation.
We value collaboration and are open to exploring other ways to work together that may not be listed here. If you have ideas or want to discuss potential partnerships, please reach out. Working together, we can make a meaningful impact in the community and beyond.
