    'The End of an Era' — Glambition® Radio Episode 304 with Ali Brown

    "Endings and beginnings are illusions. Starting over is nothing more than recognizing the pause before picking up your thread and continuing to weave your own story." ― Molly Cantrell-Kraig Did you know I've been hosting Glambition Radio since 2014? (What is that in 'podcast years'?)  I've enjoyed hundreds of incredible conversations with fascinating women founders, leaders, and celebrities – from household names to the more 'everyday' success stories of many of my own clients. And YOU have helped make this show the success it's been, from the moment we launched (ranked at #3 in ALL of iTunes that very first week)! And now, after feeling into it this year, I know it's time for a change. On this special LAST episode of #GlambitionRadio, I'll go into the details why. I also share several PERSONAL updates — on my family, my friends, and my reconnection to God. AND I give the scoop on a special NEW retreat I'm hosting this November called 'Reignite'. (This will be much different than anything I've done before, as it's only for up to 17 women leaders.)  I also answer questions about The Trust (my community for 7+8 figure entrepreneur women), and whether I'll still be doing private coaching into 2024. This is a very personal episode for me, and it's taken awhile to be ready for it. I hope you'll give it a listen! And remember, this isn't goodbye. It's simply turning the page.   Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio.

    'The Power of Subtraction' — Glambition® Radio Episode 302 with Ali Brown

    Today I want to share what I both witnessed and experienced at my recent event ICONIC: The Revolution, and it has to do with the powerful concept of SUBTRACTION.  In business we worship nonstop expansion, adding on, increasing volume, and stacking layers of complexity onto what we do. Today instead, I invite you to honor the subtraction, or *taking away*, and study its results. This will actually help move your forward in the right way, faster than your alternatives. It has a lot to do with energy. And I explain it all on this episode of #GlambitionRadio.   You'll hear: Why I now approach leading events *completely differently* than I would have years ago. (But it's not for the faint of heart!) How to unhook yourself from goals related to who you WERE and instead be PULLED toward your new vision (no need to 'push through' When to create a *vacuum* that immediately creates space that will be filled in (be careful to stay strong with your intentions during this phase) A few of my *tips and tricks* to create as much space as possible when you know you are going through a big transition.  This is all so important to me right now, as I'm undergoing another personal reinvention.

    'The Big Tear Down' — Glambition® Radio Episode 300 with Ali Brown

    At our recent meeting for The Trust, a clear theme emerged just during our first session. There is currently a simultaneous occurrence for all of us, consisting of huge new opportunities along with huge demand to LET GO of something else in order to move in the right direction. And along with all this, feeling some crazy damn chaos on the perimeter!  But is all that chaos around us right now actually happening TO us? Or… FOR us? Think of a brilliant new home you've been dreaming of for years, but right now you're in the middle of the old teardown. Welcome to 'demo day', baby!

    With over two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC's 'Disruptor 50' franchise, Julia Boorstin has interviewed and studied thousands of business leaders.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: How Julia's experience working at Fortune and now CNBC developed her interest in entrepreneurship and how it shaped this book Her biggest takeaway from interviewing thousands of female CEOs and executives, including Katrina Lake, Gwyneth Paltrow, and more What Julia believes is one of the most important traits of a successful CEO and leader Stories of how women are continuously disrupting systems, fixing systematic problems, and overcoming challenges in business And make sure you listen until the end where you'll hear Julia's 3 pieces of uncommon, yet brilliant advice!

    'The False Gods of Your Business'— Glambition® Radio Episode 298 with Ali Brown

    Do you remember the Bible story about the golden calf? It's basically revealing of human nature and our tendency to stray away from what's true in the name of what's new, sexier, faster, or 'here right now'. This is one of my favorite stories that we can also relate to in business. Because we have all created – or have even been told to workshop  – our own golden calves… or 'false gods'.  For the first time ever, in this episode of #GlambitionRadio, I break down 7 false gods I see most every day in the businesses I have worked with. There are many more, but these are my top 7! They range from a few of the most obvious (like topline revenues) all the way to some of the most insidious (obsession of status within certain business communities).  I was on FIRE for this one, and it's an important show to listen to. Because unless you become aware of these and then get clear on what is true for YOU — it's too easy to not only follow these calves around, but let them tow you by the nose! The concept of getting clear on what is true for YOU and your business (and jettisoning what isn't) is something we'll be diving into at ICONIC: The Revolution, my event happening  on Wednesday + Thursday, November 2+3, 2022 here in Phoenix, AZ.  ICONIC is all about disrupting your past patterns of 'business think', getting clear on what's true for YOU and your business, and setting course for your next incredible chapter of your career…. Your true ICONIC work in the world. And you'll do all this surrounded by dozens of brilliant women entrepreneurs – the majority of which run $1M+ businesses! It's a win-win-win.  But right now we have less than 20 seats left, so don't delay – learn more here now and apply to join us. (We do have an application process.)  (Pssst…. Would you also SHARE this show with another female leader you know who's looking for something different? We'd like more women entrepreneurs to know about the intelligent conversations we're having on this show as well as the ones we'll be having at ICONIC.)

    'How To Be Loving' with Danielle LaPorte — Glambition® Radio Episode 297 with Ali Brown

    WOW… I was thrilled to have Danielle Laporte back on #GlambitionRadio to talk about… LOVE. Not love as in loving another person in particular, but a concept much greater, and the theme of her new book 'How To Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up.' And, what does this have to do with ourselves as business owners and leaders? More than you may realize, in today's times. Danielle spent the past few years radically simplifying her life, doing the deep work, and determining that love is not a feeling, but a virtue, and how we learn about love and express it is incredibly personal.  The good news? We can stop the chase. Stop fixing ourselves. Release the pressure. Let anything that's not in alignment with that light fall away. This message is so liberating, incredibly practical, and needed. I really could have talked with her for DAYS about all this – as one concept led to another, and another, and another.  Danielle LaPorte is a renowned spiritual leader and mentor, as well as the creator of the Heart Centered Leadership Program with 400+ leaders in 30 countries. She is also the author of The Fire Starter Sessions, The Desire Map, and White Hot Truth. On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: How Danielle became relatable to me again (I was being honest here) Why now we need to navigate life even when we don't know where we're going The 'evolution of Danielle' and how her new book came to be (different from past messages) The one thing that makes her shadow side come out (you might relate to this a lot, and it's a funny story) Danielle's take on being loving, putting your ego aside, and living life on purpose I just know you're going to LOVE this powerful and timely conversation!

    'The Power of Copywriting' with Sara Anna Powers— Glambition® Radio Episode 296 with Ali Brown

    I've always been in love with writing, since I was little. Using words in the right way to convey your point to the fullest. Finding just the right word that can replace a string of five others. Expressing emotions that are hard to convey. And more.  But I never knew what copywriting actually was until my mid-20s, when I landed a job at a midtown boutique ad agency. It blended my love of both words and psychology. I immediately became enamored with the idea of doing that for a living – could it really be possible?  It was. I left that agency about two years later, to go off on my own as a freelance copywriter. My love for the craft has never ceased, and it's by far been one of the most valuable skills I still have today.  I also love talking about it – which is why today I have Sara Anna Powers as a guest on this episode of #GlambitionRadio. She's a former civil litigator turned conversion copywriter + mentor who trains others how to get into the copywriting game via her Clickworthy Copywriting Certification™. Her own copywriting has resulted in clients closing $4.4 million in a single launch, quadrupling email open rates, and doubling annual revenue. So you know this gal is walking her talk! On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: Why copywriting is only GROWING in demand,  and the reason so many people hire copywriters (and why you should consider it too) How Anna was able to leave her career as an attorney to pursue copywriting full-time, bringing in over $100k in her first year Tips on writing copy that sells today – without using masculine, shameful, or guilt-ridden techniques like they used to teach How to leverage referrals to make your business explode organically  And I'm sure you'll love Anna's sweet Mississippi accent as much as I do! ;)  Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    'It's Time for the Revolution'— Glambition® Radio Episode 295 with Ali Brown

    There are multiple timelines in existence right now. And it's critical that we consciously select the higher ones… as entrepreneurs, as mothers, as citizens, as humans.  Because we are here to help bring the world through to 'the other side', in more ways than one. As entrepreneurs, we are likely here to create new ways of doing business. But in the overarching scope of things, we are really here to create a brand new world.  And WOMEN entrepreneurs are a huge part of leading this charge. (Have you noticed the answers have never pointed more strongly than right now to the ways WE have always worked best? The old ways are imploding, and it's a mess, but… absolutely awesome. ;)) I'm curious if you've been feeling this too. Are YOU being called to something different in a way? Possibly to step into your greatest and most powerful work of your lifetime?  This year, as I bring back my annual ICONIC event for entrepreneurial women leaders, I felt strongly called to give it the theme of revolution. And I explain why on today's episode of Glambition Radio.  In the midst of all the world's recent madness... the chaos... the nonsensical happenings... the upending of most all we knew... there are actually opportunities so immense (both business + personal) that are hard to fathom by most 'normal' folks. But… this all requires first seeing through the mess, focusing on what we CAN control, and then taking charge of where we know things should go. (It's often the 'action' part where we hesitate, don't we?) On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear me cover the 5 KEY areas to help you create your own ICONIC revolution, as well as a few tips on how to see our current chaotic times in a different light.  Don't miss out - listen here now!  AND… while this show is a powerful one, there's no better way to dig in deep on all this than gathering IN PERSON with other purpose-driven women entrepreneurs, behind closed doors, at a very special workshop. On Wednesday + Thursday, November 2+3, 2022, I'm inviting back 60-80 established female entrepreneurial leaders to join me in Phoenix, AZ for a powerful two days to create… the new revolution. >>> Our ICONIC priority notification list is now OPEN here, and I suggest – even if you're just curious – you sign up now. Once you do, you'll be first to receive full details and know when registration officially opens within the next 2 weeks.  (Also…. would you consider SHARING this show with another female leader you know who's looking for something different? We'd like more women entrepreneurs to know about the intelligent conversations we're having on this show as well as at events like ICONIC?)

    '9 Lives to Live' with PAIGE founder Paige Adams-Geller — Glambition® Radio Episode 294 with Ali Brown

    How many fashion retailers came out of the last two years not only sustaining their business but landing well ahead of where they were? And also right after opening several new retail locations beforehand? You're about to hear that story, but there's much more to Paige Adams-Geller and her company PAIGE than meets the eye. I first pulled on a pair of PAIGE jeans back in 2006 and felt I'd finally found the brand to fit me best. But since then, they've expanded to become a full lifestyle brand. (I ask her about this decision on this #GlambitionRadio  – when do you know that's the right thing to do versus staying true to the original product? What's the risk of diluting the power of what you're known so well for?) Paige's journey began in Los Angeles, where her entrepreneurial spirit took her from working as one of the top fit models in the industry to launching her namesake collection in 2004. But there are many twists and turns to her story, including not only why she decided to launch PAIGE but also become a fierce advocate for The Rape Foundation. (She shares how the traumatic experience led to later inspiration during our interview today, and I'm so honored she opened up for us.)  I am SO excited to announce that Paige will be a Special Guest Advisor for The Trust, joining us LIVE at our Official Fall Meeting here in Scottsdale, AZ on October 4+5, 2022! Want to join us? Learn more and apply here! After founding the brand, today Paige sits at the helm as Creative Director, where she continues to lead with her commitment to cutting edge design and passion for creating 'pieces that you will live in'. On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: The unlikely confidante who encouraged Paige to start her own clothing line (and then she quickly 'went for it') How PAIGE's leadership team navigated 'The Rona' and created opportunities during an inopportune time What's fashion-forward now in denim and other trends (I asked her to catch me up!) and how to make 'office casual' look and feel professional, yet stylish and comfortable How the PAIGE brand has evolved over the years from jeans, step by step Paige's advice on building and leading a dedicated team and maintaining a great company culture (this had a few gems I wrote down for sure) Get ready to be pleasantly surprised by the depth and meaning Paige brings to the fashion industry as well as her passion for helping women entrepreneurs.  Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    'No Choice But to Own It' with Suneera Madhani— Glambition® Radio Episode 293 with Ali Brown

    She tried to 'give away' her brilliant idea dozens of times, but no one in her industry wanted it. So finally, Suneera Madhani did it herself. Today, her company Stax has a $1 BILLION valuation (and it's the first women-led fintech company to do so). And all those guys who rejected her? They are now her partners. ;)   Suneera grew up in the U.S. with immigrant parents who were entrepreneurs out of necessity, where Suneera learned hard work and customer service firsthand – two traits that have led to her success today. She started in the payments industry immediately out of college, where she quickly saw that transactions and profit was being prioritized over people.   That's when she had the idea to start a subscription-based credit card processing company. For one monthly fee, businesses could process all the customer transactions they wanted. After repeated rejection by both her bosses and others in the industry, Suneera finally decided in 2014 that if she wanted to see her idea come to fruition, she would have to do it herself.    Stax is now one of America's top 10 fastest-growing fintech companies doing integrated payments and payment processing for small and large businesses, processing over $23 billion in payments per year. (And I'm a client myself!)   Under Suneera's leadership, Stax has catapulted from startup to Orlando's first fintech unicorn, leading more than 250 employees and $100 million+ in recurring software revenue. Suneera has become a notable minority female entrepreneur, breaking countless statistics and raising over $500 million in venture capital.     Suneera has been recognized as an honoree on Fortune's 40 Under 40 list and is the recipient of EY's Entrepreneur of the Year award. She has been featured in Bloomberg, Fortune, Inc, and more for her accomplishments not only in fintech but as a woman passionate about helping other women succeed through her platform at CEO School, a top business podcast.   On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: How Stax evolved from a concept in Suneera's mind into a company valued at $1 billion in less than 8 years The ONE thing she has done from the very beginning that she contributes to her massive success Suneera's advice on owning your superpower (I loved this!)  Her passion for closing gender pay gaps and increasing diversity in her industry of fintech And much more.   You'll love Suneera's passion and no-nonsense approach to entrepreneurship, workplace culture, and life!   Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).   And come join in the conversation on Instagram or Facebook.

    It's 'Flip the Script' Summer here on #GlambitionRadio, so that means YOU get to hear the tables turned on ME… in four of the BEST interviews I've been on over the past year or two!   This week, you'll hear my interview by Jaime Masters on her inspiring podcast 'The Eventual Millionaire'.

    It's 'Flip the Script' Summer here on #GlambitionRadio, so that means YOU get to hear the tables turned on ME… in four of the BEST interviews I've been on over the past year or two!   To kick things off, here's my interview by Lisa Larter on her fantastic 'She Talks Business' podcast. (Be sure to subscribe here.) Lisa and I agree on so many things, including the insanity taught within many of the brainwashed online marketing spaces.    Not only is Lisa a solid coach and 7-figure business leader, she is also a past client and one of the founding members of The Trust. During our conversation, we dive into the why + how of the 'sharp right turn' I made back in the early 2010s, when I decided to disassemble my complex business and large-scale programs… and instead rebuild something I was feeling deeply called to.   On this episode of 'She Talks Business' on Glambition Radio, you'll hear: The behind-the-scenes details of my experience on the ABC reality show 'Secret Millionaire' back in 2011, and the profound impact it had on the direction of my business and identity How I found the courage to let go of my multi-seven figure business and huge team (and what my biggest fear truly was during this time)   The warning signs to look and listen for that will let YOU know it's time to change lanes (before it's too late)  How I launched (and then quickly shifted) The Trust, my premier network for 7 + 8 figure entrepreneurs, right when the pandemic hit (this organization was intended to revolve solely around in-person meetings!)

    It's 'Flip the Script' Summer! — Glambition® Radio Episode 288 with Ali Brown

    Happy summer! The twins and I are packing to leave next week for our annual road trip through Southern California. So what am I doing with #GlambitionRadio while we're gone? Something NEW and fun, and I've wanted to do this for quite awhile...   It started with many of you asking for more SOLO episodes – ones where I share more about my observations, advice, and stories from my experiences.   And I was thinking, well what's the next best thing to doing a summer series of solo episodes? The answer was a summer series of great shows where you can hear ME interviewed.   So the entire month of June will be 'Flip the Script Summer' here on Glambition Radio! And today's episode walks you through it all.   I've been on some super shows over the last year or two. And these interviewers led me into some DEEP conversations where some of my BEST anecdotes, admissions, and revelations have come out. And I want to share these with you.   On this episode — and throughout these weekly 'shows within a show'—you'll hear me dish on...   * The insanity taught within many of the brainwashed online marketing spaces * The why + how of the 'sharp right turn' I made back in the mid 2010s, when I decided to disassemble my complex business and large-scale programs… create some space... and instead rebuild something I was feeling deeply called to. * Behind-the-scenes details of my experience on the ABC primetime reality show 'Secret Millionaire' back in 2011, and the profound impact it had on the direction of my business and identity, and so much more. * A full walkthrough of how I built a profitable 20+ year brand – one that's gone through many variations to suit my personal evolutions *My own human design + life purpose, which has helped me continually re-tune into my 'north star' over the years *And we take it back to the '90's Ali,' where I share the story of picking up one of those AOL CDs for the first time -- I knew the trajectory of my business would change forever (And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, we'll explain to you, LOL) *How I feel your BEST bet today is to do things the complete opposite of your industry *The consequences of operating out of alignment, and why it is more important than ever for women to get in tune with who we really are to fully honor and trust themselves *Changes happening within the feminine collective and how to address and identify triggers to help you powerfully uplevel and become a more confident leader *The decision to homeschool my twins, who just turned 9 ...and SO much more.   Listen now to this episode giving the FULL scoop on these hosts and shows, a lot more details, and what to expect over the next few weeks. Also, I share about our summer plans and how the kids just love traveling. :)   Have a wonderful season. My team will keep things going until I'm back in a month or two.   And remember – get out and play. We only have so many summers in this lifetime.   Xo Ali   PS — Come join in the conversation on Instagram. Please DO share about this show, and we'll share your post with our audience!

    The Old Way vs The New Way — Glambition® Radio Episode 287 with Ali Brown

    Right now there are battles going on around the world, on every level, in every way. But they are also a mirror for what's going on within *ourselves*.   We are trying to solve problems with the same mindsets + systems that created them. And we are caught in an endless loop of madness. I do see and feel that so many are finally realizing that a *massive change* is needed. But… how does that apply to YOU, and your world of creation?    It's been a while since I did a solo episode of #GlambitionRadio, so I wanted to start the summer with a bang! AND I'm  sharing a few *exciting updates* on some opportunities that YOU can participate in with me later this summer and fall.    The theme in the air? Our old ways versus the new. Old ways of doing, being, and transforming are making way (gently or abruptly) for new, better ways. And I don't just mean incremental improvements – I'm talking about totally walking away from what never really suited us in the first place. We are here to create the new. And the female entrepreneurs are the ones leading the charge in so many categories.    On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: How to honor who you really are, step into your genius, and do business YOUR way – finally, without comparison or apology  My take on how to 'win' these battles happening in the world… and internally (they are mirroring each other right now)  The aspect of business that many 7+8 figure business leaders are currently experiencing the most turmoil and transition in How to lean into your intuition and identify what you are resisting to make revolutionary changes in your life and business   Be sure to listen until the end, where I share my exciting announcements for the summer (hint: I'm doing something different with the podcast!) and a NEW private event coming for 7+8 figure founders who would like to learn more about The Trust.   Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).   And come join in the conversation on Instagram or Facebook.

    Becoming 'Alpha Femme' with Melanie Ann Layer— Glambition® Radio Episode 286 with Ali Brown

    It's the women who are doing business differently, in an extraordinary way. And there's one particular 'Alpha Femme' epitomizing this movement: Melanie Ann Layer of Quebec, Canada.    Starting as an 'invisible coach' in 2017, whose name was shared solely by word of mouth, Melanie's business and Alpha Femme brand quickly grew – without a website, podcast, viral videos, ads, or a best-selling book.    She is known for her unique approach to feminine leadership and wealth energetics, but it started with one big shift after a job loss which led to a bankruptcy. The entire ordeal left her sleeping in her car, but Melanie took her first "life coaching" call from the front seat of her Honda Civic in 2013. (She explains the whole story in our interview.)   Through a journey of evolution and growth, she's grown her business to revenues over $20M, with consistent million dollar months since November 2020. Her shift is a testament to her teachings that now serve women all around the globe.   On this episode of Glambition Radio, I speak with Melanie about her unconventional approach to online business, which has left many puzzled... and so many more excited and magnetized. Because it's so different compared with anything else out there.    On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: About the Google search that inspired Melanie to reframe her thoughts after ending a romantic relationship of 7 years How Melanie started her coaching business from that first phone call, and how she first approached growing her venture into something significant The secret behind building an 8-figure brand *without* a website, viral content, a podcast, ads, or best-selling book (hallelujah!) Melanie's practice of 'The Art of Business', and how it has contributed to her success How one unfortunate media 'hit piece' reporting on her achievements was an initial shock, but the experience solidified her stance in helping other women embrace and champion 'unconventional' success   After getting to know Melanie well this year as a private client (and now as a member of The Trust!), I am thrilled to share this deep conversation about her energetic approach on this episode of #GlambitionRadio.    Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).   And come join in the conversation on Instagram or Facebook.

    'Let It Be Easy' with Susie Moore— Glambition® Radio Episode 285 with Ali Brown

    'Let It Be Easy' with Susie Moore— Glambition® Radio Episode 285 with Ali Brown Can it really be… this… EASY? Our guest today says YES… even if you're in the midst of what feels like a struggle. I have to admit, I'd known OF Susie over the years and felt like I already 'knew' her. But then we finally talked (on this episode)! There were SO many things I wasn't aware of that make both her story and her attitude incredibly rich and inspiring.   Susie spent much of her childhood growing up in domestic violence shelters, driving her to vow that one day she'd create a much different life for herself. But instead of going for what our typical path for success would be, she skipped college and instead opted to travel, live, and work all over the world. I love how she's created her own version of success while thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. (And this spirit comes through in our interview!)  Susie and her work have been featured on the Today show, Oprah, Business Insider, CNN, Forbes, Time Inc, Marie Claire and … you get the idea. ;) Her new book Let It Be Easy is her third book, which is about simple ways to stop stressing and start living.  On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, Susie shares how her upbringing of struggle is a part of the success she created today, the business models she uses to make AND impact millions – on her own schedule, and more. On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: Why *confidence* is the ULTIMATE productivity hack (I LOVED this one!) How Susie discovered life coaching, and what pulled her to pursue this big career change when she was 30 Susie's 'good enough' philosophy, and how to implement it in your own life and business, while still maintaining high standards  Advice on how to finally embrace BIG VISIBILITY – so you can be discovered in a greater way, and get more done in less time How we are both NOT convinced that a *university degree* is a must for anyone these days. (I am not attached to my own twins going to college, and I explain why.) Plus, you DON'T want to miss us getting fired up about *the RELAXED, successful woman rebellion* (and why you want to be a part of it)!

    Healing Women Physicians with Dr. Sunny Smith — Glambition® Radio Episode 284 with Ali Brown

    After being so overworked with up to 80 hour weeks that she fell into a 10-day *coma*, Sunny Smith, M.D., vowed to not only change her life, but the life of the other female physicians in the same situation. But the true 'how' didn't appear before her, until another unfortunate accident years later (while biking in Moorea)  forced her to once again not only slow down but also consider her next chapter. And that is precisely when she discovered the incredible skill-set of coaching.  Soon after, Sunny founded Empowering Women Physicians, the most comprehensive and collaborative coaching program for women physicians that has been documented to decrease burnout, increase professional fulfillment, and increase self-compassion.  But it's Sunny's full story that gets me every time, as I take in her immense compassion for other humans both in and out of her field.  On this raw and heartfelt episode of #GlambitionRadio, Sunny opens up about her experiences and conversations as both a medical doctor and clinical professor, shares how her work is helping so many other female professionals within the medical community, and gives us rare glimpses into the mysterious world of the medical field.  On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: What inspired Sunny to pursue a path in medicine from an early age, as the daughter of a professional hockey player  How she met the Dalai Lama, and what he said that she can't forget.  The lucky scenario that got her into her top choice med school … after being at THE BOTTOM of the list! How Sunny's coma experience ended up on a major TV show, and where you can still watch it (I've seen and it's very emotional)  Sunny's mission to empower more physicians to become multi-faceted, fulfilled women who are much more than their medical degrees  It's been such an honor to be privy to Sunny's story, as she has been a private client and is a member of The Trust. This is one you won't want to miss, and you may want to have the tissues handy.  Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    Doing Business 'Backwards' with Emily Aarons — Glambition® Radio Episode 283 with Ali Brown

    As high-achieving women, we often don't consider how much we're operating in our *masculine* energy. And we assume that business is supposed to feel hard — and even at times unenjoyable. Could there really be another way? And if so, would it actually feel 'backwards' compared with how we've been trained to do business?  But today's Glambition Radio guest, Emily Aarons, is all about making quantum leaps in your business *without* more hustle. It all changes when you learn how to tap into your feminine energy, trust your intuition, and give yourself permission to say 'NO' to the tactics and strategies that feel out of alignment.  Emily is best known for helping entrepreneurs tap into their intuitive powers, but oddly enough, she never thought she was born with the gift of intuition herself. And on the show she shares this journey on reclaiming this natural human power, and how we can do it too.  For over two decades, she has been practicing healing work directly with powerful visionaries and teaching them how to tap into their intuition to activate quantum growth in their business. Emily is the creator of the Angels In Your Biz Oracle Card Deck and Aligned + Unstoppable Personal Journal, and is the host of the top podcast 'Aligned + Unstoppable'. And I'm honored to say she's attended both my 'ICONIC 2021: Liberation' and Creative Strategy Workshop events over the past year. :) On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: What energy healing really IS… and ways to maintain energetic alignment How Emily built her personal brand to nearly one million dollars in less than 4 years by 'doing business backwards' (I loved this)  How to connect with your higher self and 'soulmate clients' through simple, everyday practices Ways to give yourself permission to NOT do the things you don't want to do in business and life (this is new for most women – could it really feel this good?)  Plus… why Emily wore crystals in her bra at my events! (This made me laugh, but I totally get it.)  Best of all, you'll love Emily's three pieces of advice for women entrepreneurs who want to experience quantum growth *without* burnout.

    LASHES… they're everywhere, and now many of us can't go without them. They've become a lucrative category within the business of beauty. But where did this eyelash extension trend come from in the first place, when did it happen, and who really took it mainstream?    Meet Anna Phillips, founder and chief innovation officer of The Lash Lounge, who first spotted the semi-permanent lash opportunity that had just arrived from overseas back in 2003.

    'Intentional Congruence' with Entrepreneur Jessica Mead — Glambition® Radio Episode 280 with Ali Brown

    As the oldest of seven children to a single mother who had her fair share of entrepreneurial failures, Jessica Mead knew early on that she never wanted to be an entrepreneur. But today she is cofounder of dozens of successful companies with a reported combined valuation topping $100M.  Jessica is the founder + CEO of Brandlync, a managing partner of Drivonic and the co-founder of The Epek Companies and Mead Holdings Group with a combined valuation topping $100M, and a portfolio of angel investments that encompasses more than 20 companies.

    Staying True with Barre3 CEO and Co-founder Sadie Lincoln — Glambition® Radio Episode 279 with Ali Brown

    In the fast-paced fitness industry, trendy new workouts steal the limelight regularly. But Sadie Lincoln, CEO and co-founder of Barre3, latched onto two secrets that have kept her franchised specialty fitness studios thriving since their inception 13 years ago: client connections and a consistent experience. On today's episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear how Barre3, known for their in-person fitness classes, was able to profitably navigate the past two years while remaining in service to their clients, and an  important lesson she took away from that experience. Sadie also opens up about receiving feedback that she wasn't expecting to hear, and how creating boundaries with your team is imperative for any business leader.  Sadie shares how to keep a brand fresh in a fast-changing industry, and why jumping on every new trend or fad can be the killer of your business. She compares her specialty barre studios to famously simple burger chain, In-and-Out, driving home the point that "sameness" and predictability in business can be sweet and is what keeps customers coming back time and time again. Starting in 2008 with the flagship studio in Portland, Oregon, Barre3 has grown to 170+ franchise studios powered by female entrepreneurs, plus an online-workout streaming-subscriber base in 98+ countries. Sadie is on Inc.'s Female Founders 100 list, has been featured on NPR's 'How I Built This', and speaks regularly on the topics of mindful leadership, the power of body wisdom, and the movement to redefine what success in fitness means.  On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear: How Sadie came up with the concept and vision for Barre3 after a career in fitness chain growth The pros and cons of choosing a franchising model for your business – it can help you scale quickly and extend ownership to others, but there are many things to consider!  How to respond to feedback you don't always want to hear — especially when it's from people who work closely with you How saying "no" and abiding by her core values has kept the Barre3 brand growing and evolving for over a decade, while many other fitness facilities have been forced to close their doors.  Also, how Sadie and I both share a past life teaching STEP in the 90s – you'll love this story! Best of all, you'll love Sadie's final three pieces of advice for women entrepreneurs at any stage of business.

    Taking the Lead with Ag Consultant Sarah Beth Aubrey — Glambition® Radio Episode 278 with Ali Brown

    When there's something that needs to be done, and no one else is stepping up, it's your shot. And that's what Indiana native Sarah Beth Aubrey has done in the world of agriculture. When she witnessed even the larger ag corporations resisting coming together to work through climate issues with their farmers, she spotted an opportunity that couldn't be missed. And the 'IN Climate' coalition was born  You'll hear on today's #GlambitionRadio that Sarah Beth had a knack for entrepreneurship from an early age. She founded a natural meats business well before the trend emerged, started and sold a grant writing business (which is still running today), owns pedigreed show cows, and has even written two fiction novels! Today she is the leading advisor to global ag brands, helping them address some of today's most critical issues in their industry.  Sarah Beth shares how she harnessed her experience, expertise, and network to create the IN-Climate Coalition – the first network of agricultural organizations in Indiana dedicated to guiding the conversation around climate practices and policy – rather than sitting back and letting national organizations dictate their regulations and future. On Glambition Radio, Sara Beth shares how she took inspired action to find the "bigger idea" under her already thriving business, how to harness the courage to be the one who steps up, and how to find and keep your seat at the table. On this episode, you'll hear: How an afternoon boat ride in Florida with her husband turned into a 'pissed off' moment that *triggered* her to no longer play small (this was my favorite story EVER) How she decided to go ahead and launch her big idea and got buy-in from a room full of leaders and stakeholders — without having it all "figured out"What it's like being a female leader in such a male dominated industry  Why finally "letting go" allowed her to evolve into a 7-figure business owner – without learning any new skills or additional networking (this was really good too) And… we discuss when to decide it's time to finally step away from a company or movement you've built.  Best of all you'll love Sarah Beth's attitude, 'ag' sayings, and sense of fun – it's been such a pleasure to get to know her personally as a client and now as a member of The Trust!  Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    Maxine Clark, Founder of Build-A-Bear Workshop® — Glambition® Radio Episode 277 with Ali Brown

    Build-A-Bear Workshop was an idea that hatched over 25 years ago in the mind of Maxine Clark during a day of shopping with a good friend's daughter. And while these stores are now a name that everyone knows, not many are aware of how Build-A-Bear came to be.  And today on #GlambitionRadio, we have the behind-the-scenes founder of this brand that has gained an enormous following!  If you are one of the few not familiar with Build-A-Bear, it's a teddy-bear themed retail-entertainment experience found in nearly every major mall in America. My twins have been customers themselves... choosing and crafting their very own stuffed animals. The whole fun part is making it 'come to life' – it's a very personal, customized experience. So who is this mysterious Maxine Clark? After a long and successful corporate career (wait until you hear her journey in our conversation), and her last position being president of Payless Shoe Source, Maxine felt a calling to create a new venture. She wanted to create something focused on engaging children—although she didn't know what quite yet. In our interview on this Glambition Radio, you'll hear all the details on the unsuccessful Beanie Baby shopping quest that actually sparked the idea. And only nine months later, the first Build-A-Bear store opened in St. Louis, Missouri, and a maker's movement was born.  By listening intently to her customers' desires, Maxine's magical shopping experience quickly took off. Today there are over 350 Build-a-Bear Workshop stores worldwide and over 200 million stuffed animals have been created and sold.  After stepping down from her CEB (Chief Executive Bear) position in 2013, Maxine kicked off her next venture—the Delmar DivINe™: a project focusing on unleashing the potential of women and minority entrepreneurs. I love how Maxine continues to service the needs of her customers and community… an essential lesson that we ALL will benefit from. You don't want to miss this interview!  On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: How founding Build-A-Bear at age 48 was a huge asset for her – and she encourages women to found companies at every life stage  How Maxine's 'instant' success with Build-a-Bear was built on this KEY skill—and the surprising sources of wisdom that refined her business decisions to great success Why MAGIC was—and is—the special ingredient that captivated millions of customers, and how to harness your clients' wishes to create the best experience possible The #1 BEST thing a founder can do to ensure the long-term impact and success of her venture (and why you should think about this now, if you haven't already…) What it means to use your business mind within social systems—and how it only takes ONE 'yes' to launch an entirely new trajectory (I loved this one, as we are the creators of change) Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    'The New Creative Crisis' — Glambition® Radio Episode 276 with Ali Brown

    We are consuming more than we are creating. And it's a recipe for disaster. As we enter 2022, this phenomenon is evident both in our businesses (plugging into endless coaching programs, apps, formulas, + solutions) as well as in our lives (absorbing nonstop entertainment, mind-numbing programming, retail, and more). Combine that with the fact that for years we have been programmed to ONLY get the 'right' answer — whether via our schooling or our careers. And today it's even worse: We are told what to believe that answer is, and we are asked not to think about the 'why'... or even question it. It is time, my friends, to sound a creative code red. Because more important than the right answers right now, are the right questions. Ones that lead to fresh, new, creative solutions, ideas, and ways of perceiving the world. >>> If I had to name the ONE single skillset that will dramatically change both your experience and results in 2022, it's creative thinking. Creative + critical thinking will set you up for more profound ideas and breakthroughs in your business and life — guaranteed. And this NEW solo episode of #GlambitionRadio is here to help you jumpstart this innate superpower that has simply been repressed. Remember... in our world of entrepreneurship, 'creative' doesn't mean artistic (although that can surely be a part of it)! Instead, we're talking greater impact, higher profits, more excitement and fulfillment, and more opportunities. All good, all around. This episode is also a sneak preview of some of the content for my upcoming Creative Strategy Workshop, happening April 5+6 here in Phoenix, AZ. It's going to be a brilliant, intimate gathering of stellar entrepreneurs and changemakers — all focused on breaking out into new ways of thinking. We are opening registration soon, and you can get on the Priority Notification List now at www.CreativeStrategyWorkshop.us. I guarantee this new creative outlook and skillset will give you just the "fresh thinking" boost you need to start your 2022 right.

    Closing Down to Open Up with Marketing Expert Laura Meyer — Glambition® Radio Episode 275 with Ali Brown

    When Laura Meyer realized the franchise business she was building was in direct contrast to her best talents and came with a heavy dose of industry contention, she made the brave decision to shut it all down. It was after this bold move (and an admitted blow to the ego) that Laura discovered newfound success and personal fulfillment as a strategic marketing consultant and fractional chief marketing officer to some of the top online influencers and brands. As CEO of Joybrand Creative, her teachings focus on empathic marketing + classic business principles that are often lost in the online space—and it's this one-two combo that is ever increasingly needed in entrepreneurship! As you'll hear on Glambition Radio, Laura's story is a breath of fresh air if you're considering closing down a successful venture to discover 'what's next?'. And most importantly, you'll learn how to tap into your support network, hone your leadership skills, and embrace the humanity of business to create a thriving venture that aligns with your truest self. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: Why you MUST prioritize your gut instinct when strategizing the close of a business—and how to expedite wisdom + leadership by remembering THESE tiny details… (I've been there myself… have you?) How Laura found success transitioning from a franchise model to online business coaching by reviving these essential business tactics, and why authenticity + integrity will ALWAYS be in high-demand (no matter your industry!)  Why closing down your business doesn't have to be an agonizingly personal affair… and how the dreaded 'end' can signal your next best beginning! (Do you have more support than you realize?) Laura forecasts the trends that will replace 'forced conversion' marketing... and shares how these practices are a boon to women's natural ways of connecting and selling (if you can tap into this, you'll excel) And my favorite… Laura and I reveal what we would have done differently to close our respective businesses—as well as the one question that never crossed our minds in the process!

    Engineering Your Success with Jereshia Hawk — Glambition® Radio Episode 274 with Ali Brown

    She was abandoned by her mother as a child, raised by her aunt, and—as a college sophomore—had no choice but to become the family breadwinner when her aunt unexpectedly passed away… Today's Glambition Radio guest Jereshia Hawk has a personal journey that will tug at your heartstrings and inspire your ambition. She is a sought-after business coach and sales expert who grew her business from nothing to $2 million in less than four years using organic marketing, a lean team, and high profit margins. But her success didn't come without trials and tribulations in her early life. Through running small businesses as a young adult, to becoming a pipeline engineer out of practicality, and then leveraging her corporate experience into a thriving business coaching company, Jereshia has navigated a truly inspiring career path. And now she's teaching other women how to leverage their unique authority, successfully chart a 'seller beware' market, and deconstruct popular marketing systems to create their own versions of success. Today, Jereshia (whom I'm honored to have in my Premier Client group) helps high-achieving experts launch and scale leveraged group coaching programs—but her methods are different than most. Listen in to learn how! On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: How Jereshia learned serious sales + marketing hustle by observing her aunt work retail at Victoria's Secret… and how this directly influenced her entrepreneurial mindset! Why Jereshia seized the opportunity in her family's adversity to create a new reality… and how necessity + practicality prevented overthinking to drive her results! How a 2.9% corporate raise calculation changed Jereshia's value vs. time paradigm—plus, how to assess + market your value to max out your earning potential The fascinating perception of women of color in STEM fields—and Jereshia's personal experience trying to change this narrative (I had no idea that hairstyles held so much weight at work…) And my favorite takeaway… Jereshia hits the nail on the head when she explains the true essence of a successful business coach.

    Take Back Your Time with Christy Wright — Glambition® Radio Episode 272 with Ali Brown

    You've seen her on the Dave Ramsey Show, and her advice is always spot on! But if you've ever asked yourself 'How do I do it all?', don't miss this episode with Christy Wright. Christy is a No. 1 national best-selling author, personal development expert, and host of The Christy Wright Show. Since 2009, she has served at Ramsey Solutions, where she teaches on personal development, business, and faith.  We are on a 'productivity' roll this month on Glambition Radio, and I'm thrilled to have Christy back on the show to share her newest book. 'Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance' helps women transform their perspective of 'doing it all' to identify instead what is the RIGHT next action to take. Because when our ambitions and happiness are on the line, we've got to be ruthless about what makes the cut and how we spend our time. During our conversation, you'll learn practical methods to apply your resources and gifts in new ways to create balance + accomplishment at work and at home. And Christy's methods are refreshingly grounded in both theory and application for women in all stages of life and career.  And if there's one thing I want you to take away from this episode, it's Christy's message that you have the power to define—and achieve—YOUR version of success. Because as we create the new models, sometimes we need a reminder of just how empowered we really are… On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: The one question women are all STILL asking when it comes to juggling business and life, and how to finally achieve the 'B' word... How to identify what's right for you in your current season AND situation… and let go of the expectation of doing EVERYTHING perfectly (are you ready to reassess what's really important?) Why 'mom guilt' isn't going away anytime soon, and how we can learn to work with this sense of responsibility in all areas of life (it's time to embrace our innate wiring!) How to look at all of your resources with fresh eyes (including time, money, relationships, and energy) when you begin designing a life that's right for YOU and your idea of happiness And, my personal favorite… how the world's crazy events can be viewed through a symbolic lens, PLUS Christy's take on why the world is NOT ending right now!

    Discovering Your Purpose with Productivity Expert, Tanya Dalton — Glambition Radio Episode 269 with Ali Brown

    She was the first female author of a productivity book FOR women. And she's back to help you harness your purpose and create the life you've imagined. Tanya Dalton is a best-selling author, speaker, and nationally recognized productivity expert for female leaders. Her highly anticipated second book, 'On Purpose: The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success', will be released later this month. Building on the time-prioritization tenets of her first book 'The Joy of Missing Out', 'On Purpose' takes productivity a step beyond practical time management and invites you to re-imagine what COULD be in your business and life. Now, it's time to leverage your GOALS into creating the reality you want… and Tanya lays out exactly how in a step-by-step process that breaks down your grand visions into actionable and achievable steps. Tanya (a founding member of my network The Trust!) is also the founder and CEO of inkWELL Press Productivity Co., a multi-million dollar company providing tools that work as a catalyst in helping women do less while achieving maximum success. Her new book will be released and available for purchase wherever books are sold on October 26. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: Why achieving goals is—wait for it—NOT the goal! But why goal-setting is the vehicle to get the life you want (and ditch the timelines you thought you needed!) How 'On Purpose' teaches you to think beyond daily time management to stretch into your future, long-term goals (this progression makes so much sense) How the essence of productivity has evolved alongside our changing lifestyles… and why it's even more powerful NOW to focus on what's most important, versus how much can be done Tanya shares a few practical exercises to help you discover your purpose and set goals that are uniquely aligned to YOUR strengths, lifestyle, and passions (are you ready to get fired up and live the life of your dreams?)  How Tanya came face-to-face with the reality of setting goals and sticking to timelines (or not) when she began writing her book at the onset of last year's shutdowns… and how this experience put her productivity philosophies to the test! I can't wait for you to hear Tanya's proven strategies to not only imagine, but REALIZE what's possible for you and your business.

    Brave Homeschooling with Writing Expert Julie Bogart - Glambition Radio Episode 266 with Ali Brown

    I never expected to homeschool my twins. But 2020 was a transformational year, and I realized the incredible value of creating a deeper connection with my kids through our homeschool journey. And I have today's guest to thank for helping guide our homeschool transition! Julie Bogart is the founder of the innovative program 'Brave Writer' and is known as 'the popular voice of common sense and compassion in the homeschool community'. She's a mother who educated her own five children at home, and draws on her work with tens of thousands of families over the last 20+ years to provide enriching and educational programs for those new to homeschooling. Julie's writing advisory began as a need for parents in her community in the late 1990s when, as a professional writer, she was shocked to discover the lackluster instruction in her friend's homeschooling curriculum. She quickly realized the market opportunity for her teaching expertise. And while Brave Writer has been successfully guiding homeschool families for more than 20 years, it has taken off to incredible heights due to the mass homeschool migration of 2020. (Imagine growing a membership community from 600 clients to over 10,000 in just one year!) Julie's Brave Writer programs include award-winning online writing classes and paradigm-shifting writing manuals that allow parents and kids to become allies in the writing process. She is also the author of the best-selling book, 'The Brave Learner' and host of the popular Brave Writer podcast. Her newest book, 'Raising Critical Thinkers', comes out in February 2022. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio where she home educated her five children (now globe-trotting adults) for 17 years. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: The eye-opening moment Julie realized the viability of a 'how to homeschool' business… and the epiphany that her natural gifts were in HIGH demand for other parents and peers (she was way ahead of her time, as you'll hear…) Julie's fascinating observations on the evolving counterculture of homeschooling… especially as a wave of 'Covid-Schoolers' has created an ENORMOUS new market of public-school converts (and I'm one of them!) How Julie's 'flower power' schoolteachers, an innocent inquiry from her date, and her own mother's self-directed career helped shape Julie into the homeschool expert she is today (I LOVE when dots connect in hindsight!) A brilliant solution to inspire your children to write… and how to leverage these innocent moments into boosts of confidence, family closeness, and skill-building (and if you're getting some pushback from the kiddos, Julie has an answer for that, too!) Why mechanics aren't actually the most important aspect of teaching your children how to write… and what to focus on instead to create an enriching learning environment anywhere, anytime Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    [REPLAY] Honoring Your Body's Cycles with Kate Northrup — Glambition Radio Episode 265 with Ali Brown

    Today I'm *resharing* last summer's fantastic Glambition Radio interview with Kate Northrup, author of 'Do Less'. Why? Because one year later, this conversation takes on an entirely NEW meaning and context, and it's exactly what we as women need to hear right now... If there's one constant in life that women must attune to when the world feels so heavy, it's the 'inner knowing' of our bodies. This is the place from which all truth is processed + received (not to mention how we generate profit, which you'll hear in the episode). Today on Glambition Radio, Kate enlightens us on the eternal wisdom and silent power of our body's natural cycles, and how we can rely on this innate rhythm to enhance our daily lives. From increasing business profit with ease, to understanding what creates optimal health for us and our family, and even how to plan our days… this is one conversation that could seriously transform how you operate in the world. Kate is the author of two books including 'Do Less', and 'Money: A Love Story'. Her adventures—and misadventures—with wellness and prosperity, recognizing truth, being raised by an 'outlier' mother (whom you'll recognize as a pioneer in women's wellness), and nurturing her own relationship with her body's wisdom combined for her revolutionary approach to productivity and energy management for ambitious women. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: How women's inner rhythms carry a wisdom that far surpasses the logic and sense of our minds (truly, thinking only gets you so far… and can actually hold you up!) The incredibly useful and predictable inner-cycles that drive both women AND men—and how tapping into these four phases can have a massive impact on wellness, abundance, and ease Why Kate's unconventional upbringing was a harbinger of womanly wisdom—and how questioning everything helped her recognize the ONLY truth that matters (this was important in 2020, and especially so NOW) Why relaxation is the key to receptivity—and how Kate's business experienced a *shocking* increase in profit with LESS effort when she relied on THIS cycle (have you tried this yourself?) The secret 'code' that will crack open life's operating manual (great news: it's already installed within each of us!)

    The 'First Lady of Tequila', Bertha González Nieves of Casa Dragones - Glambition® Radio Episode 264 with Ali Brown

    What happens when a lifelong passion collides with destiny? You create a legacy. Meet Bertha González Nieves, the CEO + co-founder of Casa Dragones Tequila, the renowned small batch tequila company. A lifelong streak of mini business ventures in her hometown of Mexico City jumpstarted Bertha's entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. After an international education (including representing Mexico as a young ambassador in Japan), Bertha realized her professional passion lay in the tequila industry native to her home country—much to her family's surprise! Weaving Mexico's cultural identity, family celebrations, beautiful natural landscapes, an intricate production process, and the agave plant itself, Bertha's fascination with tequila was unshakeable—'love in crescendo'—as you'll hear on Glambition Radio… After positioning one of Mexico's oldest tequila producers in the global market, it was time for Bertha to create her own legacy play. A fated conversation years later would solidify her dream of becoming a tequila entrepreneur… and the luxurious Casa Dragones brand was born! (Bertha is also the first woman to be accredited as a Maestra Tequilera by the Academia Mexicana de Catadores de Tequila.) Bertha has been named by Forbes as one of the 50 most powerful women in Mexico, the Los Angeles Times calls her 'The First Lady of Tequila,' Food & Wine and Fortune magazine named her one of The Most Innovative Women in Food & Drink, and the Financial Times says she is 'a tough entrepreneur and co-founder of one of the chicest brands in a business rooted firmly in Mexican machismo.' On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: Why tequila plays such an impactful role in Mexican culture… and how the spirit represents the effervescence of Mexican craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail all over the world (hence Casa Dragones' many accolades!) The random meeting with this famous founder—and ensuing 'bar talk'—at a New York anniversary party that would launch Bertha's dream career in the tequila industry (was this fate or coincidence? You decide ;)) How Casa Dragones is advancing tequila to compete with the best in whiskey and other luxury spirits all over the world—plus, the RISKY decision to launch the brand at an inopportune time (imagine tracking sales via individual bottles, instead of cases… ouch!) Bertha's belief in doing one thing well… and tapping into the power of focus to produce the best possible product on the market (I LOVE this perspective, especially in the age of marketing FOMO) How Bertha's entrepreneurial 'flavor of the month' streak ended with the tequila industry… and how she discovered her calling within her passions for Mexico, tequila, and entrepreneurship And (bonus) how I personally credit some really good tequila for helping me drop some extra pounds.

    From Chinese Roots to the American Dream with Chesapeake Bay Candle Creator Mei Xu — Glambition Radio Episode 263 with Ali Brown

    Her dream of becoming an international diplomat ended, so she created a multi-million dollar candle company here in the U.S. instead... Mei Xu is a Chinese American entrepreneur and founder of Chesapeake Bay Candle. Born in Hangzhou, China, Mei was privy to her country's transition from Mao's era of communism into a more market-oriented economy. She was excited about the prospects of future diplomatic opportunities, but those ambitions were cut short, as you'll hear on this Glambition Radio. Following the Tinanmen Square uprising and ensuing personal and financial hardship, Mei moved to the United States. Here she discovered a knack for entrepreneurship… and a simple home candle-making experiment (using soup cans!) would become the start of a multi-million dollar home fragrance empire. From developing a revolutionary candle scent process in her tiny basement, to unexpectedly selling out of retail stores such as Target, Mei's Chesapeake Bay Candle line became a home staple. And after selling her company in 2017, Mei is continuing her entrepreneurship streak with the launch of Yes She May: an online platform helping women-owned product companies grow and prosper. Her recently released book, 'Burn: How Grit, Innovation, and a Dash of Luck Ignited a Multi-Million Dollar Success Story' is available wherever books are sold. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: The 'uh oh!' phone call that tipped Mei off to the potential success of her candle line… and how she quickly resolved a BIG production crunch Why English movies + magazines, wandering the floors of Bloomingdale's, men's cologne, and observing discordant fashion trends honed Mei's exquisite taste (and became the foundation for her bestselling brand) How Mei was the first candlemaker in the US to develop her fragrance sourcing method and revolutionize, stylize, and modernize your run of the mill 'country candles' (it's no wonder consumers caught on to Chesapeake Bay so quickly) What—and who—convinced Mei to write her new book, 'Burn', and how writing her story helped Mei determine her next steps in business… and in life Finally, how Mei leveraged the pandemic to SUPPORT women-owned businesses facing immense challenges through her timely launch of the Yes She May online platform Head to Apple Podcasts now to listen to this episode of Glambition Radio (or download it for later).

    Rediscovering Your Own Body's Intuition with Dr. Kelly Brogan - Glambition Radio Episode 262 with Ali Brown

    When you discover your own personal truth, but it defies decades of what you were schooled to believe... how do you even begin the transition to truly honoring it? It isn't... easy. Both internally, and externally, as holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, M.D. can attest. She's no stranger to being vilified — especially in current times. And that's why I wanted to have her on the show. We had a fascinating conversation, and I invite you to listen and judge for yourself. Dr. Brogan is the author of the NY Times Bestselling books A Mind of Your Own and Own Your Self, as well as creator of the Vital Mind Reset and Vital Life Project. And on today's Glambition Radio, we're diving deep into her extreme transformation over the years from a drug-prescribing practitioner to a conscious healer and leader. Her mission: 'to provide true informed consent around medication-based treatment, and empower individuals with tools for radical self-healing'. From living a 'postcard perfect' doctor life in NYC to diving deeper into her own spiritual awakening process — unraveling most everything she believed along the way — Dr. Brogan's journey hasn't been smooth sailing. But today, her holistic healing protocols empower women everywhere to recalibrate and re-establish a relationship with their higher intelligence—much to the dismay of current information overlords and obvious agendas. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: Why the health + safety of your body is the gateway to deeper spiritual healing for generations to come—especially for women. (Plus several effective tips to begin your own vital reset. Have you experimented with these already?) The moment a 'cosmic 2x4' set Kelly on her path to awakening—and changed her professional trajectory 180 degrees, sending her from what she calls allopathic 'indoctrination' to methods of holistic, self-healing How women can defy external control by strengthening their intuitive bond to themselves and their children (plus, hear my first experience with this powerful sensation when my twins were born!) Kelly's clear opinions around natural health practices that landed her on serious threat lists. (Some of these seem so benign that it's surprising they were so maliciously targeted.) Bonus: How to listen to her fantastic interview with Joe Rogan that was removed from YouTube. (This one was how I discovered Kelly and became so intrigued.) Lastly, my personal favorite… Kelly's thought process behind doing away with her smart phone. (My dream, and I share recent insights around our energetic connections to devices!)

    Sarah Frey, Founder, 'Frey Farms' — Glambition Radio Episode 261 with Ali Brown

    The youngest of 21 children, today's guest was born into poverty on a remote, Southern Illinois farm called 'The Hill'. But Sarah Frey never focused on her family's lack… instead, she cultivated extreme confidence and capability during her rough-and-tumble childhood… traits that would directly affect her family's future and her becoming the nation's leading producer of pumpkins. On Glambition Radio, you'll learn how after taking over the family farm as a teenager and negotiating deals with some of the biggest retailers in the country, Sarah's determination to start a new life off The Hill transformed into a calling to save the farm from ruin... creating a new family lifestyle, a thriving entrepreneurial venture, and achieving national recognition in the process. Sarah founded Frey Farms in 1992 as a simple produce delivery route with an old pickup truck. Today, her family business is the nation's leading producer of pumpkins, grows fresh fruits and vegetables in seven states, and sells a new line of juices. Sarah's book,'The Growing Season' is available for purchase wherever books are sold. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: How Sarah cultivated self-reliance + determination as a young girl through unimaginable childhood challenges on The Hill (her stories will make your jaw drop…) The pivotal moment Sarah realized the past she wanted to leave behind was the KEY to her future (AND the preservation of The Hill) Several fantastic tales from her country upbringing… including snapping turtles, 'ballsy' business deals, and MORE… (you don't hear stories like these every day!) Why Sarah's negotiation skills have become case studies for Harvard Business School, even though she lacks any formal business training or education!

    Cate Luzio, Founder + CEO, Luminary - Glambition Radio Episode 260 with Ali Brown

    She grew a women's work collaboration hub during a global pandemic from serving just one NYC neighborhood to 36 COUNTRIES… Cate Luzio is the Founder + CEO of Luminary, a membership-based career and personal growth platform and collaboration hub designed to uplift + upskill women through ALL phases of their professional journey. Originally designed as a 15,000 square foot physical meeting space in New York City, Cate experienced a true test of leadership and ruthless prioritization when the 2020 pandemic hit. (There's nothing like isolation to challenge the growth of a LIVE, in-person membership model!) But in staying true to her mission, Cate led Luminary through a rapid transition to become a powerful online community, which now supports more women than ever before. And, as you'll learn on Glambition Radio, there's never been a bigger need for the kind of platform and support network that Luminary offers. As many women leave corporate careers to become entrepreneurs, or are navigating hybrid workplaces for the first time, Cate is leading the conversation to help them sharpen their skills and confidence no matter their professional goals. (Funding? Got it. Mentorship? Yes. Business growth? Luminary is here to help.) Before starting Luminary, Cate spent twenty years in financial services leading global multibillion-dollar businesses and managing more than 2,000 employees worldwide. She was recognized as one of Forbes' Next 1,000 Entrepreneurs in 2021 and a Top 100 Female Founder by Inc. in 2019. Cate has been featured in top financial, business, and lifestyle media and is currently a contributing writer for Fast Company, Business Insider, and Worth. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: The moment Cate saw a HUGE gap in the market for women's professional development… and how Luminary answers the call for women at work seeking 'real world' guidance + resources How Luminary went from serving women in one neighborhood in NYC to now all over the world—and why the drama of last year's pandemic was actually the greatest 'illumination' for Cate's team and mission Cate shares her simple, 'glass ball' method to 'ruthlessly prioritize', and how her approachable tactics can transform + optimize your daily and lifelong productivity (she makes it sound so easy!) Why Cate's revenue dropped a whopping 80% only 14 months after launching—and how her company infrastructure was already primed to adapt to adversity (these are excellent points to keep in mind as you build new ventures!) Why community is essential to professional growth… AND how to embrace individualized needs within this larger 'ecosystem' and economy (because women's priorities are so different now from just a few years ago!)

    Dana Perino, Former White House Press Secretary + Fox News Anchor — Glambition Radio Episode 259 with Ali Brown

    This former White House Press Secretary — and today a familiar face on Fox News — had a story I never knew until this interview on #GlambitionRadio. And what a discussion we had! From Dana Perino's humble beginnings on a small-town Wyoming cattle ranch to later representing the highest office in the United States, she's now sharing her wisdom to be a supporting voice for women when it comes to navigating their careers and lives. Her new book 'Everything Will Be Okay: Life Lessons for Young Women (from a Former Young Woman)' is jam-packed with great advice and 'in the trenches' stories on tough decisions Dana made over the decades, as well as some heartfelt insights into her life and family. Following the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Dana joined the Bush Administration as a spokesperson at the U.S. Department of Justice. She was later invited to become press secretary in a twist of fate that she wasn't expecting… as you'll hear on this episode of Glambition Radio. And today she anchors 'The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino' and is a co-host of 'The Five' on Fox News Channel. On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear: The one decision Dana made at an early age that 'programmed' her entire career trajectory… and why asking THIS question will foreshadow your future success Why the launch of 'Everything Will Be Okay' was 'the right book to write at the right time', especially after the disruption of last year (plus, hear which chapters have had a mysterious resonance with Dana's readers) The ballsy story Dana's publishers wanted to remove from her manuscript to make her more 'likeable', but she fought to have included in the book. (And this was my favorite story too!) How pivotal moments in our country's history have shaped each generation of women—and how to leverage adversity to your career advantage (plus, her fascinating take on 2020's effect on young women today…) Why it's critical for today's professional women to seek partners who can support what they need in the moment (and how to cater to the ebbs and flows of love + career over a lifelong timeline) And finally, the 'how she met her husband' story: a juicy tale involving a suitcase and a dashing English stranger, which I'm nominating for this year's #1 love story!
