Today we dive deep into what are the things a hiring manager looks for in a resume when evaluating candidates, especially in the start-up space. Samantha is a people and value-driven marketing magician with a decade of B2B and B2C marcomms expertise. In the last decade, she's worked on rebranding organizations, launching tier-one SaaS products, building a PR engine, and developing the soul of the organization-also known as the brand. She is known for her vivid and authentic personality and her scrappy “make it happy” startup mentality. Currently, she spearheads the marketing and communications efforts at Torpago, a fintech startup shaking up the spend management space, as the head of marketing. Growing up, Samantha was raised to “go to war” and “be ten times better than the next person.” Her parents thought they were getting a corporate lawyer, but they got a marcomms generalist instead. She's the oldest of four and the only girl in a Puerto Rican and Portuguese-mix household. Outside of work, you can catch her creating content on TikTok, planning her next trip, or trying new restaurants in NYC, NJ, or Houston. OH! She's also a self-proclaimed boutique fitness enthusiast, so you'll catch her at SoulCycle, Bar Method, or Barre3. Connect with SamConnect with Eddiana

Exercise gives many of us a sense of control, stability, and discipline. Boutique fitness, with its fancy methodologies and curated lights, scents, and sounds, capitalizes on another, more elusive (and highly monetizable) feeling: purpose. For up to $50 per class, we're not only sold a vision of our best body, but also our best self. We're asked to set intentions, repeat affirming mantras, and see squatting and sprinting as a chance to ‘conquer the impossible'. The word 'community' is thrown around like cold towels. In a world that's lonely and often disappointing, it's easy to see why endorphins can quickly become addictive and studios marketing power and positivity become clients' second homes. But for employees of these studios, the culture is a LOT darker.  I open up the episode with my own candid confessions about using barre and pilates as an emotional coping mechanism, especially when it comes to men and relationships; choosing body neutrality over body positivity; and my attraction to overpriced boutique fitness as a way to achieve the "clean girl aesthetic"...and therefore the semblance of a more put-together life.  Then (13:35), with the casting help of Deuxmoi, we hear from anonymous former employees of Bar Method, DanceBody, Flywheel, Laughing Lotus, Orange Theory, Pure Barre, Taryn Toomey's The Class, an unnamed Los Angeles Lagree studio, and a Western Pennsylvania SoulCycle dupe. They tell stories about psychologically abusive training camps, CEOs with God complexes, intense fat shaming, raging eating disorders, overt racism, and severe underpayment. They walk us through how instructors get clients hooked on certain workouts, and what makes a marketing campaign effective. They reveal some of the WILD codes of conduct (or lack thereof) found in employee and trainer handbooks. And, most importantly, they encourage us to take a long, hard look at why we're often so willing to compromise our morals, on either side of the check-in desk, in pursuit of the “perfect body.” ~ GOT A SECRET TO GET OFF YOUR CHEST?

And one of the things that is a byproduct of this program is the impact on your actual businesses. And so Karen, I know we've had a lot of stations that are really you putting your values into your company, right? And really pushing into. And a lot of the time even last week, when we talked about should you do this or that, really me questioning you to create a power in you so that you know what is right for your company. And so I'd love for you to just talk a little bit about some of the byproduct impact you feel since doing Empowered Life and your actual Bar Method franchise.Karen Marino:Yes. For sure. Like I said, I know that we keep going back to the values, but using my values in how I run my business has been such a huge shift in my thoughts and just how I go about my day. Obviously connection. Our studio is all about community and connection, not just with our clients, but with my staff. I've always felt extremely close to my staff. And sometimes there was always... Not sometimes there was always. That doesn't even make sense. There were people along the way who said, "You have to keep your distance appropriately with your staff." And I was always like, "It just doesn't feel right to be that way." And there's always those people saying, "Oh, you should do it more professionally. You should do it this way."Karen Marino:And this helped me realize, connection being my strongest value, no, that's why it didn't feel right to run my business like that. And I have had staff from the very beginning. This is a small part-time job for my staff and they are wholly committed as if it were a 60 hour a week job. And I know it's because I connect to them at that different level. I care about them. They're like family to me. We enjoy each other. We have fun together, yet they know I have set standards and expectations for them, but I do it the way that feels right for me. And this has helped me lead to that recognition and acceptance with this is how I do it. And of course we all have to adjust and modify and nothing is ever done just the right way.Find the FULL transcript here: Season 5 Episode 2: Should Entrepreneurs Have a Life Coach, Part 2

Nothing happens by mistake and meeting Brandi Frazier is an example of that. I actually met Brandi because she was my neighbor and we were both pregnant at the same time. But as I grew to know Brandi better, I learned that not only is she an amazing mama, but she's also a total boss. Today, she joins the She Sells community and is empowering us to advocate for ourselves even if we are not feeling confident yet.   Brandi Frazier is a Mama, Wife, Speaker, and Master Educator who is passionate about empowering women in all areas of life. Brandi has spent many years as an innovative business sales and leadership expert who has diligently worked to create more engaging and results-driven organizations. After many years of training executives, managing teams, and speaking in corporate America, Brandi found a new passion, a new purpose, and a new why: Bee Empowered Mama. Bee Empowered Mama provides community, onsite training, coaching, workshops, and educational content for all things motherhood and in the workplace for women. Bee Empowered Mama also specializes in teaching women how to advocate for themselves during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.   In this energetic episode, Brandi inspires us with her personal stories that sparked her new why and how advocating for herself literally saved her life. She is a powerful speaker that will have you hooked on every word and you'll be listening to this over and over again to get you pumped up and feeling confident to be the expert of you. Show Notes: [3:04] - Welcome to the show, Brandi! Elyse and Brandi reflect on how they met. [3:58] - Brandi describes her background in sales and how her bubbly personality led to her discovering her love for it. [5:01] - As time went on, Brandi found herself in corporate training, speaking, and international teams training. [6:36] - Brandi was motivated to go hard so she could slow down and enjoy her pregnancy. Covid certainly changed things for her as well. [7:53] - In any scenario in your life, if you feel that you are not being treated the best you possibly can be, you should leave. [8:32] - Brandi learned through her pregnancy that she needed to advocate for herself. [10:04] - Because she knew she is the expert of her own body, Brandi explained why she monitored her blood pressure and how she continued to advocate for herself. [11:40] - As a result of using her voice and knowing her body, Brandi learned she could have died. [13:10] - After her experience, Brandi used her knowledge from her career to teach other moms how to advocate for themselves with Bee Empowered Mama. [14:26] - Trust how you feel because you are the expert of yourself. [16:01] - In the workplace, authority figures make some people feel less confident. [18:11] - While this confidence and advocating for herself is inherent to Brandi, it isn't for everyone. Build confidence with positive affirmations. [19:10] - Seek the company of other confident people. [20:58] - Fake it until you make it and then you will become it. [23:01] - Pick who you want to be. Brandi gives an example of something she advises teams to do in her training. [25:09] - You are the director of your own movie. [26:26] - Brandi shares her number one tip for cultivating “owning the room.” [28:29] - After pumping herself up and praying, Brandi knows she's going in to have fun and communicate the things her audience needs to hear. [29:30] - Looking good makes you feel good. When you feel good about your appearance, it reflects the inside. [31:34] - How can you practice embodying enthusiasm? [33:18] - Becoming a mom is Brandi's biggest accomplishment. She has learned to grant herself grace. [35:18] - Stop comparing your journey to someone else's. [35:59] - Brandi explains the BAR Method.

Description: Allison is a former middle school teacher, turned Bar Method instructor, after finding the workout while attending grad school, in San Francisco, CA. She came to The Bar Method, looking for a way to get in better shape, but it quickly grew to be more. In Bar class, she found refuge from the stress of balancing grad school, city life, and teaching full time, in what was becoming an increasingly toxic environment. Eventually, she would quit her middle school teaching career altogether, and obtain certification to become a Bar Method instructor, sharing with others the greater love and admiration she gained for her body, through strengthening the mind-body connection. More Topics In The Episode: Allison's introduction to The Bar Method How and why going to class became her “place of refuge” Self-care that engages the whole body and mind, is effective stress management, and “addictive” in a good way!

Quitting her job in education, and becoming an instructor of The Bar Method. When you want to make your passion your career “path,” what to do first! The hard work of turning your “passion into your path.” How her career in education translates to fitness instructing The benefits of choosing an exercise practice you love, that can also serve as a form of meditation.

She has been married to her husband Brady for eleven years and together they are proud residents of the city of Grapevine, Texas.For Lindsay & Brady, starting their family didn’t come easy. A private six-year journey through unexplained infertility led Lindsay to connect with the non-profit group Braving Infertility Together. It was through this network of support that she found the courage to share her story publicly in an effort to connect with and encourage other women who may also have struggled in starting their families. After countless doctor appointments and multiple failed treatments, Lindsay and Brady ultimately beat their diagnosis and welcomed a baby boy in October 2017.Before landing her current and most favorite role as Mom to her two year old son Caiden, Lindsay earned her degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from San Diego State University and spent eleven years in the industry working for major corporations including Hyatt and Hilton.Lindsay currently enjoys staying active with The Bar Method, taking classes at her local art studio, and just recently launched her own watercolor design company - The Painted Pineapple Studio, LLC.

“We do not want to go back to being the way we were,” says Chuck Runyon, co-founder and CEO of Self Esteem Brands, the parent company to Anytime Fitness, Bar Method, Basecamp, and Waxing in the City. Anytime, the largest of the brands, has nearly 5,000 franchise locations on seven continents—all of which had to shut down over the course of about five weeks due to Covid-19. For a company based in Minnesota, Anytime Fitness was early to realize the potentially catastrophic threat of the coronavirus because of its clubs in China. But even as those locations shut down, Runyon says, “We thought it would be contained. After Anytime’s 20 clubs in Italy closed, “it escalated quickly.” In the U.S., Missouri clubs were the first to close and then every day, every week, came another. “Like dominoes.” “In all the years we’ve sat around in meetings of what if…never did any of us anticipate shutting down nearly 5,000 clubs around in the world in five weeks.” But since they have, Runyon says he wants to make the most of the unprecedented experience. “Let’s learn, let’s adapt, and let’s be better because of it.” Anytime, Bar and Basecamp have been releasing digital content including coaching, workouts and even recipes and nutrition tips. Some of the content is free to the public and has drawn a new audience. Going forward, Runyon says, “We want to make sure we offer an omni channel experience.” Changes will also come to Self Esteem Brands’ home office in Woodbury, Minn. where around 350 employees work. “We’ll be more nimble, faster, and adopt some work from home policies. We’ll analyze travel…I think we can be leaner, and every bit as productive.” One thing Runyon doesn’t think will change: enthusiasm for the gym. “Eighty percent of health club members say they are looking forward to getting back,” Runyon says. “I think it’s going to be a mini-January…. with a nice surge of people wanting to get back to normal.” Anytime is prepared to step up its cleaning protocol, modify traffic, and whatever else is required. “There’s no playbook for this,” he says. “I’ve been unbelievably proud of how the team has adapted so quickly, It’s been an incredible experience in so many ways.” After our conversation with Runyon, who previously appeared on By All Means with his co-founder and president of Self Esteem Brands Dave Mortensen, we go back to the classroom with University of St. Thomas marketing professor Gino Giovanelli. “The thing I loved about my classroom was the community. It’s the same for a health club. What they’re selling is camaraderie.”

Today on the podcast, we are joined by Stephanie Smith, owner of The Bar Method Boston. Stephanie's passion for the Bar Method began at the Bar Method Boston back in 2012. Stephanie discovered the Bar Method through friends, and after her first class, she was immediately hooked! She loved how the small movements had such a big impact on her body and started to quickly see results. When the Boston Downtown studio opened right near her office, it seemed like the perfect time to become an instructor. She was an instructor for three years at both Boston locations before purchasing the studios in 2018. Stephanie had a career in sales for 7 years prior to purchasing the studios but knew sales were not her true passion and was looking for a change. Her love of the Bar Method community and technique is what inspired her to become an owner and take on this exciting challenge. When she's not at the studios, Stephanie spends her free time with her fiancée Sean and dog Meika. Tune in to listen to Stephanie’s story and what it takes to run an extremely successful business!

“I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CORPORATE BOX”  Emily King began working in insurance and financial services right out of college.  “It seemed most important at the time to have a stable job and a paycheck,” she says. Although she was successful in the large-company environment---rising to the executive ranks---in the long run, she admits, it wasn’t for her.  “I had to get out of the corporate box, she says.” “I needed to create my own success.” In this interview she discusses the frustration she felt as a woman in corporate America.  Perhaps you will relate to her story. FROM CAR WASH TO UPS STORE TO INTERIOR DESIGN  Some might call her a serial entrepreneur.  At one point she owned a car wash; at another she owned a UPS franchise. She “fell into” the franchise, she says, due to some unfortunate circumstances. But she had the bug---as she describes it in this episode.  Her biggest motivation came, however, when she got divorced and found herself with responsibility for two young children.  While your circumstances might be different, many women find they need to make a career shift more out of necessity than anything else.  Sometimes it takes a kick in the rear to make a change, and Emily opens up about what motivated her to take that “leap of faith,” as she calls it.  She also describes pursuing her passion.  For her it was interior design. “If I was going to have to leave my kids every morning,” she says, “it was going to have to be for something that excited me.” “At least I wouldn’t be going to a cubicle.”  HER MINDSET:  YOU GOT THIS  Emily shares her experiences and describes how to know when it’s time to move from one venture to another. When working in your own business, Emily believes, you always become more confident and braver, even it your business doesn’t succeed. That way you’ll be able to make the necessary changes. You’ve got to have the right attitude and mindset about change, she advises, then opportunities will open up to you.  What’s Emily’s mindset?  Well, listen in to find out!  RAISING THE BAR (Method)  As if running your own design firm and renovating houses with you husband isn’t enough, Emily is also co-owner of a very busy Bar Method studio in suburban New Jersey.  She currently employs 22 people.  “I managed employees in my other businesses, but I’ve had to learn an entirely new language,” she admits.”  But she is learning.  “It’s been a new set of first days,” she says. At first, if the studio was open, either she or her business partner had to be there.  They were each putting in 60-70-hour weeks.  “The business is your baby,” says Emily.  “Between the two of us, it was ‘Who’s got the baby?’” “You can’t put the baby down.” What’s your baby?  Can you relate to Emily’s experience? The studio has been open over five years now, and things have settled down for Emily and her partner.  “It helps to have great employees,” she says.  And she added, “We hired and trained well.”  “You have to have trust and learn to delegate.”  Find out what else Emily has learned her business. INSIGHTS FOR BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS  Among some of Emily’s words of wisdom to young female entrepreneurs: “Don’t think with your wallet,” she says.  Don’t walk into a new venture thinking you’ll make a million dollars. “Because even if you did, you still need to be driven by a passion to do the business.” “You can’t be driven by money alone.”   You’ll need to tune in to the hear the rest! ABOUT EMILY: Emily King is the owner of Wilkat Designs, a decorating and interior design firm in Summit, New Jersey.  She is also co-owner of the Bar Method studio in Westfield, New Jersey.  Her prior businesses included ownership of a UPS franchise and a car wash. Before embarking on her path as an entrepreneur, Emily worked in corporate financial services. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  She also studied interior design at Parsons New School of Design. Emily is a member of the Board of Directors for Family and Children’s Services of Elizabeth, New Jersey. How to Reach Emily: Emily.king@barmethod.com www.westfield.barmethod.com

Chuck Runyon and Dave Mortensen opened their first Anytime Fitness gym in 2002. Their concept was an alternative to big box gyms: A no-frills space with little supervision…just workout equipment that was available literally any time. Seventeen years later, Anytime Fitness is the world’s largest fitness franchise company with $2 billion in annual revenue and nearly 5,000 locations on all seven continents, thanks to a recent opening on a ship that spends half the year in Antarctica. Runyon and Mortensen created a parent company, Self Esteem Brands, that also includes Waxing The City, Basecamp Fitness and Bar Method. They’ve earned just about every entrepreneurial award imaginable – they’ve been recognized as one of America’s most promising companies by Forbes, and the fastest growing fitness club by the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association. They did it all on instinct and “grit.” As Runyon says, only half jokingly, “Our company wouldn’t hire us today.” The two share the lessons they’ve learned about leadership, wellness, and strategic growth. Says Runyon, “As leaders we need to celebrate when our team is doing well, but then we need to raise the bar again.” After our conversation with Runyon and Mortensen, we go back to the classroom with the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business. Marcella De La Torre, who teaches course on leadership and business ethics, highlights some of the keys to Anytime’s success. “They are constantly adjusting to the complexity of the business. As you grow, you need more complex strategic plans. They are not naïve.”

Movement is fundamental to both our physical and mental health - but when did such a natural part of life turn into something so competitive?  Both of these Capricorns took long, meandering journeys to find a type of movement that felt more like self-care and less like a chore.  (We’re looking at you, Bar Method!) Whatever makes your body feel most like you - we give you full permission to go do that thing.   Like what you hear?  Tune in every Monday for new episodes and be sure to leave us a review!

Jen Hedrick + Angie Comiteau - On a lovely Saturday afternoon Jen and Angie stopped by my home to talk about their journey in building the first Bar Method studio outside of California in 2008 and being tapped to help Bar Method create an expansion plan on how to open up nationally. Both had had successful careers prior to meeting each other at a local music class for their children. They became fast friends as they talked about feeling out of shape and disconnected from their community. On the outside it may look like creating their extremely successful business was easy. It was not. Like any entrepreneur setting off on a new course they had fearful thoughts - what if no one liked the workout, what if they failed, and could they pull it off. But together they felt courage. At the time, Bar Method had just a handful of studios located only in California. Not only did Jen and Angie launch what became a very lucrative business in their town, but it ignited the expansion of the Bar Method franchise up and down the east coast, resulting in New Jersey hosting the most Bar Method studios next to California. Jen and Angie's drive and determination to create a quality, superior, safe, effective exercise experience ran parallel with their inspiration to create a supportive community. While a financially successful business was welcome, money was NOT their driving motivation. They set out to start the business for the experience, the journey and the excitement. Along the way they realized the true gold in their business - the community they were building - being a way to connect with others and an opportunity to promote kindness and support, resulting in a business that has a soul. Let's Figure It Out with Jen Hedrick and Angie Comiteau. You can catch Angie in her sold out classes in Summit, and in the coming months, Jen will be back on the schedule in Summit leading classes women line up for. For more information about Bar Method and a class near you, visit BarMethod.com. We'll be watching to see what Jen and Angie have up their sleeves next.
