Episode 9 - Built to Evolve: A 30-Year Founder Story

In this episode of The Momentum Podcast, I sit down with Leslie Lane, owner of Studio 13 and a third-generation, woman-owned entrepreneur whose career has been shaped by resilience, foresight, and an unwavering commitment to evolution. Leslie shares how she unexpectedly stepped into leadership in her early 20s, taking over her family’s commercial photography business at a time when women were rarely trusted behind the camera. From growing up inside the business to navigating seismic industry shifts—from film to digital, multiple recessions, and now AI—Leslie offers a rare, long-term perspective on what it really takes to stay in momentum for 30 years.
