Tracy Otsuka

Tracy Otsuka masterminds Coretography, a brand spankin’ new breed of self-development that helps you figure out your whole life’s purpose.

Tracy Otsuka gets full-body waves of outrage whenever the phrase, Because that’s how it’s always been done, is muttered in any boardroom or classroom, anywhere in the world. (She has a superhero sense about these things.) Applying her insights & experience to a new venture, she’s currently leading a brand spankin’ new breed of self-development that—wait for it—actually makes a difference in people’s day-to-day lives. After all, she firmly believes that the key to a happy, fulfilling existence is living on purpose—and living on purpose doesn’t have to be the headache-inducing trainwreck we all make it. (This is where Coretography comes in.) As an avid boycotter of the status quo, she’s a lifelong advocate of collaboration, innovation, and laughing with her son over the fact that they both have ADHD and rarely make it through an entire movie without putting it on pause to adventure. The fancypants details? Tracy graduated from Georgetown Law School, practiced law (obviously), and singlehandedly developed & built a high-end women’s wear company whose clients included Saks, Neiman’s, and Nordstrom. She’s also a real estate broker who’s sold countless foreclosed properties for banks and handled homes occupied by the likes of Norteños gang members and Kujo. See also: Citizen’s arrests made in cocktail dresses & pearls while knowing EXACTLY what it feels like to be spit on by a vicious and unneutered camel. (Yes, you read that right. A camel.) Personally, she’s blissfully married to a fantastic guy and the mother of two wonderful teenagers. Tracy believes in the beauty of the unique and in the fundamental desire to be an individual in every single thing we do. And most importantly, she believes in the power of a reeeeallly great cocktail. (And brownie points shall be awarded for whispering sweet nothings about favorite boozy concoctions into the alert ears of @Coretography.)
