Franchise marketing is more than running ads or managing brand awareness. It's a strategic process that connects entrepreneurs, brands, and customers through trust, storytelling, and value-driven engagement.

Her work demonstrates how franchise marketing can be a vehicle for change — not only driving business results but also creating a more inclusive and diverse community of entrepreneurs. In an era where consumers demand authenticity and connection, Ali's perspective on franchise marketing reminds business owners that success isn't just about selling a product. It's about building relationships, aligning brand purpose with customer values, and giving people a reason to believe in the businesses they support.

Success isn't a straight line - especially for women. In this episode, Melanie Fitzpatrick gets real about her journey from corporate America to coaching women to becoming a real estate investor. After 28 years in corporate sales (yes, driving a Mercedes that made all the men around her jealous), Melanie pivoted to coaching women entrepreneurs. But when the pandemic shifted everything, she found herself at another crossroads. That's when she bought her second investment property - and everything changed. In this honest conversation, Melanie shares: Why women need to understand their relationship with risk How she manifested a property after the first offer fell through The reality of renovating a hoarder house (trigger warning: it stunk)Why she spent $100K on repairs and became a general contractor How to step into masculine strategy without losing feminine essence Key Quote: "Women need to trust themselves. They need to really use their voice... stepping into your power isn't toxic masculine power. I'm talking about who you are." Whether you're considering your first investment property or looking to pivot in your career, this episode proves that courage, mentorship, and taking action when you're afraid is the real formula for success.

In episode 236 of Joy Found Here, Lacy Garcia, founder and CEO of Willow, shares how a personal financial crisis and single motherhood inspired her to redefine financial advising.

A proud Cuban-American and single mom, Lacy's mission is to make financial confidence accessible to everyone—because wealth-building isn't about privilege, it's about awareness and action.In this episode, Lacy shares how a mid-thirties financial crisis following divorce inspired her to create Willow and break the silence around women and money.

Together with Stephanie, she explores financial independence, teaching kids about money, and how neglecting self-care can cost more than dollars.

Show Notes:The global climate movement/industry is not very inclusive; amongst other things it struggles with gender gap. This is especially true in a country like India where the climate industry, particularly the clean energy sector, suffers from a significant gender gap, with women severely underrepresented in technical and leadership roles. While women disproportionately bear the burden of climate change impacts, social and systemic barriers limit their participation in the very sectors that could offer solutions and economic empowerment.Along with several government initiatives focused on women's participation, there are several grassroots and third sector initiatives that are working towards building skills and capacity. One such initiative is Nadhi-SheforClimate a women-led initiative building climate resilience through human capital development. Nadhi works at the intersection of gender equity and climate adaptation by enabling women to enter and thrive in green careers building long-term individual and community economic resilience.They also support micro-entrepreneurs in climate-aligned sectors such as sustainable agriculture, clean energy, circular economy, and low-carbon servicesand help create community-driven knowledge networks.Nadhi is the brain child of Shalini Bharat Shalini Bharat a banker turned climate entrepreneur and social leader. After a 17-year career in finance, including serving as the COO of Corporate Bank at Deutsche Bank India, Shalini founded the climate community platform with a vision to empower 100,000 women to become climate leaders by the year 2030.Head to the podcast to hear Shalini talks about the motivations that spurred her to create a platform dedicated to increasing female representation in climate leadership, citing the overwhelming lack of women in decision-making roles within this critical field. She speaks about initiatives to facilitate capacity building, fostering community, and provide career support for aspiring female climate leaders. Shalini also speaks about the importance of partnerships in advancing these objectives, highlighting how collaborations with various organizations can amplify the impact of their mission. She also reflects on how authenticity and purpose are critical to driving meaningful change within the climate space.Shalini is also the founder of the circular economy startup The Kind BusinessTo learn more, head to the podcast

I sat down with Sara Barthel, Functional Medicine Nutritionist and founder of Christ-centered, lab-driven care for women in perimenopause, for a powerful conversation about finally taking control of our health. For years, I just moved through life, tolerating symptoms like debilitating migraines, but when I hit a wall with weight gain, I knew I needed Sara's unique expertise. Sara opens up about her own decade-long struggle to find answers, which fuels her mission to help women who are doing all the "right things" but are still feeling exhausted, bloated, and unlike themselves. We dive into why so many of us feel unheard by conventional medicine—often just being offered a prescription or a laxative—when there is always a root cause. Sara explains the importance of her faith-integrated practice and why she believes we can't separate the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. We also discuss how incorporating more storytelling has made her a more confident and effective speaker, allowing her to attract her ideal client by leaning into her unique identity as someone who understands "biochemistry and Jesus."   In this episode, you will learn: What that "first domino" symptom is in your 30s that signals your hormones are starting to shift—and why it's not what you think. The common, yet completely overlooked, reason why you might be tolerating major health issues like chronic fatigue and anxiety but only seek help when you experience sudden weight gain. The "Triad Hormones" framework Sara uses to guarantee lasting, sustainable health, and why fixing just one hormone will never be the magic bullet. The #1 thing you need to do when you suspect something is off with your body, even if your doctor tells you everything is "normal."   Apply for fireBRAND 2026 Here: https://melissaleahughes.com/firebrandacademy Grab the free social media content system here: https://melissaleahughes.com/free-guides Have your content done for you at Rise Social Media Agency: https://melissaleahughes.com/rise   Website: www.melissaleahughes.com   Social Channels: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaleahughes Melissa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaleahughes/ Rise Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risesocialmediaagency/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.harrington.758 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@melissaleahughes   Sara's Links: Website: https://www.vibrantvia.com/ Complementary 30 minute Root Cause Breakthrough Session: www.chatwithsara.com 30 Day Hormone Reset Guide: https://www.vibrantvia.com/hormonereset Book a Free Call: https://sara-barthel.mykajabi.com/book-free-call Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarabethbarthel/?hl=en
