Glambition® Radio
“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?

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...

‘The Power of Subtraction’ — Glambition® Radio Episode 302 with Ali Brown
Glambition® Radio
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...

‘The Big Tear Down’ — Glambition® Radio Episode 300 with Ali Brown
Glambition® Radio
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!...

‘The False Gods of Your Business’— Glambition® Radio Episode 298 with Ali Brown
Glambition® Radio
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...

‘How To Be Loving’ with Danielle LaPorte — Glambition® Radio Episode 297 with Ali Brown
Glambition® Radio
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 ‘.’ 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...

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

‘It’s Time for the Revolution’— Glambition® Radio Episode 295 with Ali Brown
Glambition® Radio
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...
info_outlineIn 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.
