At 20 years old, Tori Clark lost her father — and inherited her family’s charter bus company, Clark Travel, along with millions in debt. What followed wasn’t just a business turnaround. It was a six-year fight to survive, rebuild, and eventually redefine what success means.
Today, she runs Spa Luxe, a hospitality-driven wellness brand rewriting the rules of the spa industry — built on empathy, service, and community.
Tori Talks About:
The difficulties of being brought up by a single father
Turning around a business that was millions of dollars in debt at the age of 24
Keeping employees as well as customers happy
The struggles of owning and operating a business as a young woman
How she views life like a domino, and what that means to her and her community
