What is the 'Gold Sweep' achievement?

The 'Gold Sweep' refers to Lux MedSpa Brickell winning Gold in three categories at the 2025 Miami Herald Miami-Dade Favorites awards: Best Med-Spa, Best Day Spa, and Best Hotel Spa — plus Silver in Best Massage. This is the first time in the award's history that any establishment has achieved three Gold wins simultaneously.

What is Miami-Dade Favorites and how is it voted?

Miami-Dade Favorites is an annual awards program run by the Miami Herald recognizing local excellence across dozens of categories. Unlike paid placements or editorial picks, winners are determined entirely by public voting from residents across Miami-Dade County. This makes it a genuine measure of community trust and reputation.

Why is Alan Araujo's achievement considered historic?

Alan Araujo is the first Brazilian-American founder to achieve a triple-Gold sweep at Miami-Dade Favorites. Additionally, no other establishment in the award's history has ever won Gold in three categories in a single year. This dual distinction — both as an individual and as a business — is unprecedented.

What is Alan Araujo's professional background?

Alan Araujo is a Harvard Business School Online trained strategist, Marquis Who's Who honoree, and global leadership speaker. Before founding Lux MedSpa Brickell, he served as International Liaison at One Sotheby's International Realty, representing iconic Miami developments including One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid and Apogee South Beach to international investors.

What topics does Alan Araujo speak about?

Alan speaks on three core pillars: Luxury Brand Building (elevating customer experience through excellence), AI Within Your Business (practical integration strategies using existing resources), and Grounded Leadership (navigating pressure without losing yourself). His framework 'From Recommendations to Actions' outlines how AI can enhance rather than replace human-centered service.
