I am joined by the lovely Devon Brooks. She co-founded Blo, the world's first and largest franchise chain of Blow Dry Bars. Born from her second-year university project, the company spans four countries, with 90+ locations, and has collaborated with international mega-brands like Mattel, Guess, Topshop and Gwenyth Paltrow. The genius Blo concept sparked what quickly became the fastest-growing category in the beauty business. PROFIT Magazine named her 1 of the 30 most fabulous entrepreneurs in Canada and was awarded Business in Vancouver's 2017 ‘Top Forty Under 40'. She's built a reputation for herself by challenging the status quo. After a decade of supporting hundreds of creatives, professionals, start-ups, and Founders in articulating and realizing their goals, she has set her sights on disrupting the personal development landscape. Her newest venture, Sphere, is a first-to-market technology enhancing the experience of personal coaching, by transforming the way Guidance is accessed and delivered. The revolutionary platform, powered by smart technology, unites a global ecosystem of Seekers to the best-fit Guides for them and facilitates the sessions end to end. Sphere makes the experience of personal coaching customized, convenient, and totally approachable. Because, for Devon, growth is the only goal. In this episode, we chat about her childhood upbringing and how that shaped who she is today, what is coaching, the lack of accessibility and knowledge on coaching, having mentors in all facets of life, what to look for in a coach, what she's passionate about, being a mom, and then we end the episode with some fun rapid-fire questions!

On today's episode, I chat with Devon Brooks. Named 1 of the 30 most fabulous entrepreneurs by PROFIT Magazine, Brooks has also been dubbed an 'elder stateswoman' by The New York Times, is one of the 2018 Inspiring Fifty women in STEM in Canada, and was awarded Business in Vancouver's, Top Forty Under 40. Prior to Devon's success as an entrepreneur, she experienced some very dark and life changing events. At the age of 18, Brooks was sexually assaulted by someone she had considered to be a close friend. As she continued to work through that trauma, she again, was attacked by a loved one in her apartment only a couple of years later. Brooks believed she was going to die the night she was attacked but clearly remembers a feeling that ran through her causing her to think to herself, “Okay, don't give up. Don't give up, yet.” And that's exactly what Brooks continues to do. She not only refuses to give up in life, she continues to push herself by constantly stepping into courage! This is a great listen, warriors! On this episode we dive into: Conquering various traumas and sexual assault Using past traumas to pave the way for a better futureCreating community instead of living in fearStepping into leadershipHow to use fear as a tool for decision makingThe take-home: Although Devon's experience was one she would never wish upon anyone, she humbly states that, “Hurt people, hurt people” and believes that her experience helped lead her to many of the successes in her life. Through her journey of overcoming trauma, Devon defined a new market category; co-founding Blo, the world's first and largest franchise chain of Blow Dry Bars. The company now spans four countries, with 130+ locations, and has collaborated with international mega-brands like Mattel, Guess, Topshop, and Gwyneth Paltrow. True to her knack for shaking-up industries, Devon is growing her second venture, Sphere, a full-service marketplace platform designed to make personal & professional coaching more accessible with a gym-like membership experience for individuals and teams. Sphere's mission to support consciousness in the world by democratizing coaching has attracted backing from leaders at Lululemon, Thinx, Headspace, and Viacom.Brooks is not only a successful business woman and visionary, she is a leader like none other. So warriors, is it time to stop giving up on something in your life and go for it? Get in touch with Devon BrooksInsta: @devsdevelopment

Devon Brooks in a incredible entrepreneur, a serious powerhouse, and an awesome mom of two. Not only was she the founder of Blo, the first and largest franchise chain of blow dry bars, but she has now created an entirely new venture in Sphere. We talk a lot in the interview about this new app, which is kind of like the Class Pass of personal and business coaching. In our chat we talk about how coaching can help moms in both career and life, and how connecting with different "guides," as they're called at Sphere, can be like different tools in your personal tool box. So many people enter the coaching experience for business reasons, and it becomes a journey of self development as well. Devon and I chat about all things mom life, how we can often lose our sense of self when we become a mom, and how it's possible to change perspective on mom guilt and mom doubt. We go pretty deep and it was an open, awesome conversation. For the full show notes and the link to a free 14-day trial of Sphere, go to www.momcamplife.com/podcast.
