Bertonis then asked her how she makes money these days, to which she said, "I am making money through brand deals mostly, hopefully one day I’ll have my own product, my own thing that is my goal in future."
Dunne added on the podcast. "I am not exactly sure what that is yet, but I do feel I have an entrepreneurial background so I want to put that to good use."
When Bertoni asked her to share some thoughts regarding her business, she responded as follows, ‘’It can be anything, revolving around the libby brand, like may be some sort of merch, may be some sort of gymnastics product, it could be anything, fashion fitness or an app.’’
