We all want to be our best selves and reach our goals. We want connection and purpose in our lives. It can be a hard and lonely road with a lot of speed bumps and wrong turns. Ashley Sumner, the CEO and founder of Liminal, talks with us about a modern coaching platform she created to support people to unlock their full potential.  For Sarah and I, when we hear the word coach, we automatically put our guard up in the same way as when we hear the word MLM. Of course we were hesitant, but we are always open to listening to someone's story. Ashley shares with us that she is working to destigmatize the idea of having a coach by vetting each coach and putting parameters around the process. One of the most fascinating aspects of Liminal is that they match you with a coach based on your specific needs. This isn't the first time that Ashley has been interested in matchmaking.  Be sure to stay until the end of the episode where Ashley tells us her story of how she became a real life matchmaker early in her career. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Ashley as she shares another possible tool for your mental health tool box.

Your self-talk and your spoken voice have an effect on how you feel, in episode 45 Sahar Paz speaks with Ashley Sumner, the founder of Quilt, an app that believes conversation is self-care. Season 7 continues with the theme of breaking the status quo and prioritizing the underutilized skills of the past like emotional intelligence and using your voice. The words of wisdom from this episode include:    Identify in a way you choose to. When you use your voice in a  deeply authentic way and it turns into a cover piece on the New York Times.   Overnight success versus feeling successful.  Learn to talk to yourself, about yourself.   Personal branding and startup success.  Giving your voice more agency.  About Sahar Paz:   Sahar didn't grow up playing house, she played office. At the age of 13, she launched a baby and pet sitting company generating more cash flow than all the lemonade stands in the neighborhood! A natural leader with an active left-and-right brain, Sahar was 25 years old in New York City with a lucrative career in Finance and bored out of her mind. Inspired to share what she learned in the business, she pivoted and dedicated herself to feeding the entrepreneurial voice of teenagers by founding Free Your Star Foundation. The nonprofit partnered with low-income high schools in Brooklyn with credit-earning programs written by Sahar herself. Championing the voice of others to help them understand their emotional intelligence and their personal drivers has always been Sahar's mission. Her book, Find Your Voice part-memoir, part cognitive behavior guide, epitomizes that pursuit. Published in 2014, her message gained attention within forward-thinking organizations such as HBO, Facebook, Whole Foods, and the Texas Medical Center, where Sahar was invited to deliver keynote presentations. After five years on the road, Sahar became the CEO of Own Your Voice Strategy Firm, a personal branding agency that focuses on placing professionals on stage to speak. Today, she resides in Houston and has given up pet sitting to play with her dog Rico instead.  You can find Sahar on LinkedIn and Instagram @SaharPaz.    About Ashley Sumner:  Ashley Sumner is the CEO & Founder of Quilt.

Covid-19's effects on businesses have run the gamut.  Amazon and Walmart together earned an extra $10 billion dollars over 2019's profits, largely because of the pandemic. And at the other end of the spectrum, 23% of small and medium businesses closed during the peak of the pandemic.  Most of the companies that survived and thrived over the past year were forced to change the way they did business.  But what are you supposed to do when you create a startup designed for in person interaction and the entire world is in lockdown?  Joining Joe this week is Ashley Sumner, the CEO & Founder of Quilt.  Ashley talks about how she pivoted her startup designed for in-person interaction in light of the pandemic.

Ashley Sumner is the CEO & Co-founder of Quilt. She’s a community builder obsessed with designing unique ways to connect people in a more meaningful way. She started her career as a performer (tap dancing was her favorite), quickly learned about her fascination with connecting people, which led to a career in matchmaking, and ultimately realized that she wanted to build accessible, welcoming communities. Gianna’s second start-up is Quilt, which formed in the effort to rebuild the feminine connection. She started her first company, One Roof, while living in Melbourne, Australia. She is passionate about connecting in safe spaces, like homes, through simple meaningful experiences, like conversation. She believes anything is possible and that we don't need to follow the current structures that have been built. There is always an opportunity to build something new and more human.

Have you ever felt like you would like to take the leap into entrepreneurship but you imagined that it might be a lonely place? I speak to a lot of women who want to strike out on their own but feel the desire to be a part of a team as well. Ashley Sumner is helping solve this tension by providing an online and in-person community for female entrepreneurs with her friend Gianna Wurzl.The daughter of parents who both ran their own businesses, Ashley learned very early on the benefits of creating something you’re passionate about. She went to NYU for theatre before realizing what she really loved was connecting people. After working as a romantic matchmaker and later, community builder at companies such as Neuehouse, she met Gianna who had the other half of her idea for Quilt. Now, they bring women together in small groups of 8-10 in homes where they can work, learn, and grow together while exploring the concept of women supporting women.HIGHLIGHTED EXCERPTMajo: So it’s more of a mindset shift than an expertise conversation. So it’s like “Hey guys, we all don’t know what we’re doing and that’s okay because we can figure it out together. Ashley: Totally. We learn from stories. So we can get ten women in a room who all have a different story around money but when you hear someone’s story where maybe they’ve gotten themselves out of debt and how they did it. They’re by no means a financial expert but oftentimes those experts have a really hard time coming down to where people are and translating and understanding. So I think we often learn the most from someone who just completed a step right above us or right below us. A billionaire has no idea how to tell you to save five dollars on a cup of coffee. So, yeah, peer to peer. Majo: Peer to peer. I love that.

Quilt co-founder Ashley Sumner faced a totally unexpected and massive tuition bill mid-way through college after her dad’s business took a hit in the recession. The skills she learned in rising to the challenge led her first to a matchmaking business, and later to create Quilt- a tech platform that connects female entrepreneurs online and in person.

Since the beginning of… well, time basically, women have been coming together to gather. Quilt is the app that brings the ancient art of circling to the modern world. This week, we sit down and have our own female-only gathering with Quilt founders, Ashley Sumner and Gianna Wurzl. This week’s ep reflects the broader shifts happening in culture -- women coming together, connecting deeper than surface-level similarities, and using our compassions and vulnerability to create true relationships. And what world doesn’t need more of that?

Ashley’s need to fight loneliness, both in herself and for others, has led her to where she is today. Her first career out of college was as a matchmaker, which led her to running her own matchmaking company by 24. With a curiosity to connect beyond romantic relationships, she shifted and built her a career as a community developer in the start- up space. From running membership in the early days of NeueHouse to being the Head of Community Development at Wanderlust, she gained a vast knowledge of the needs of different communities and an acute understanding of human behavior.    After working with many notable brands over the years, she came to two conclusions: 1. In order to have an impact on loneliness, she would need to build technology that would facilitate the work she was doing offline. 2. She didn’t want to keep building community for the top 1%.   in 2015, Ashley fortuitously met her co-founder, Gianna Wurzl, and the solution she desired was born, Quilt. Quilt is a platform the connects female entrepreneurs and freelancers to co-work out of their homes and get paid for it.     In this episode, we chat about:   Why it's difficult to connect with those around us How to fight loneliness at anytime in your life What it was like working for a matchmaker What is Quilt and why it started to help other women find connection    

A chat with Gianna Wurzl and Ashley Sumner, founders of Quilt, the new female-only coworking start-up that enables women to work out of one another’s homes. We talk purpose, passion, productivity, matchmaking and why working with other women helps you achieve your personal and professional goals. In Mailbag, credit cards in college, tax scams, and the cost of assisted living.
