In this moment, Classpass founder Payal Kadakia takes us inside the mental dilemmas and burdens of running a billion dollar business. Because when you've built a global company from nothing, no matter how big it gets you always remember when it was small, vulnerable, and struggling. You'll always see the tiny company it used to be, not the behemoth it's become. Payal freely admits to paying a heavy price of being too wary of this fear. She missed birthdays, lost friends, and severely effected her mental health. It took a lot of maturing and growing for Payal to achieve balance, balance between her work life and her home life, but also balance between what she wanted, and what she knew she needed.

I have also served on the Institute of Management Accountant's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Committee from 2016 to 2022. I founded NGC Consulting, a boutique consulting firm for small business owners, in 2021.  After my son was born in 2017, I battled postpartum anxiety, and struggled with balancing a demanding career, and life in general with a newborn. I needed a safe space to discuss honest, raw and real conversations about motherhood, and the challenges mother's face; so, I created this podcast, Mamas Know Best, We Got Something to Say, in 2019. What started as a hobby has turned into a labor of love and resource for the motherhood community. Every conversation is informative, insightful and empowering! In this special 100th episode, I am interviewed by my friend and business mentor Lynn Lessell, and we discuss: What I've learned during the journey to 100 episodes.

She is the Executive Chairman & Founder of the world's most flexible fitness membership, ClassPass and she holds a degree from MIT in Operations Research and Economics. At the beginning of 2010, Payal was 26 and had no idea that she'd become an entrepreneur. She was living two lives - one was dancing and the other was working in the grind of Corporate America. While searching for a dance class, she casually came across a problem she knew she had to fight hard to solve, so she created a search engine to do it for her. 10 years later, that one class search has turned into millions of classes booked all around the world. ClassPass is now valued at over $1 billion and she has become an inspiration to many aspiring women entrepreneurs. Her new book “LIFEPASS” is ready to be purchased.    Bonus:                                                                          - Get your own copy of Payal Kadakia's new book ‘LIFEPASS' here

When Payal Kadakia first appeared on How I Built This in June of 2020, the future of ClassPass, a subscription service for in-person exercise classes, seemed very uncertain. The pandemic had shuttered gyms and fitness studios across the world, and ClassPass was relying on virtual events and wellness offerings in order to stay afloat. This week on How I Built This Lab, Payal returns to talk with Guy about leading ClassPass through the worst of the pandemic and eventually selling the company to Mindbody in October 2021. Plus, Payal discusses her unique method of goal setting and her new book, LifePass: Drop Your Limits, Rise to Your Potential.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Payal is the founder of Classpass, the app that's been the ticket to every skill and passion for its millions of users. Her own love of dancing encouraged her to start a business which enabled anyone, anywhere to find something they loved to do. When Payal's parents moved to America with no money and no connections, they had to completely start their life from scratch. Payal grew up in a home where her mother often wasn't home, working late-night shifts to keep her family going. It hasn't been easy to build her business and her life, Payal's had to be ruthless to herself as well as kind. How far Payal has come. Today she shares exactly how she got there. The sheer determination and single-mindedness with which she ruthlessly sets her goals and priorities, and then systematically chases after them with everything she's got, was hugely inspiring to me, and I'm sure it will be to you too. Topics: What made you different? Batling between your passion and 9-5 job Rebelling for your purpose Changing careers and finding new communities Confidence, purpose, and drive to success Why did you start ClassPass?

Hey Brave Table fam, welcome back—you're in for a goodie today! In this chat with Miki Agrawal, the ultimate girl boss queen, we go all in—touching on everything from infertility and motherhood; to deep healing and inner work; to navigating big challenges that may come up as an entrepreneur in your journey.   Miki is the founder of Tushy, Thinx, and Wild. All of these companies have been disrupted by who she is and what she stands for. She is also the author of the #1 best-selling books Do Cool Sh*T and Disrupt-Her, and was named "Fast Company's Most Creative People", “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum, and INC's “Most Impressive Women Entrepreneurs”.

She shares how to use traumatic life experiences as a means for massive growth, an opportunity for learning/unlearning, and having even more conviction in your work.    We also talk about feminism and the importance of celebrating women instead of clawing each other for a seat at the table in our patriarchal society. Instead, can we be inspired by other women and not envious? Can we choose to lift each other up and not want to take each other down? How do we change the system that's keeping us small—in a fear-based world—and start operating from a place of abundance rather than lack?    Some of the juicy nuggets you'll experience in this episode:  - Overcoming struggles during your most vulnerable moments  - The dangers of ‘extremism' and leaning too much into alternative stances - Having gratitude for even your worst feelings and what it means to feel truly alive - Learning how to choose every single day what you focus on and put your energy into - The importance of creating diversity in the workplace and your community, and learning the true depths of diversity - How to be brave in the face of cancel culture, share your truth, and attract the right people to your work - Observing yourself in your toughest moments, finding the beauty in the breakdown, and extracting lessons from your sucky human moments - Letting go of reacting to low-vibrational shit, letting your work speak for itself, and doing things out of integrity - Moving into the matriarchy, awakening the divine feminine, and how to be a seductress in your life - The importance of meeting people where they are  - Miki's healing regimens & nourishing practices that you can use when going through a tough time If you liked this episode…   - Check out Miki's website here https://mikiagrawal.com/ and on Instagram at @mikiagrawal - Buy Miki's books on Amazon: Do Cool Sh*t https://www.amazon.com/Do-Cool-Sh-Business-Happily/dp/0062366858 and Disrupt-Her https://www.amazon.com/Disrupt-Her-Manifesto-Modern-Miki-Agrawal-ebook/dp/B079P32W22/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&keywords=disrupt-her%20book&qid=1542383560&s=digital-text&sr=1-1  - Listen to Being Brave in Building Your LifePass with Payal Kadakia: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/payal-kadakia-being-brave-in-building-your-lifepass/id1608226580?i=1000553155461  - Check out How to Build Unconventional Wealth & Abundance with Codie Sanchez https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/codie-sanchez-how-to-build-unconventional-financial/id1608226580?i=1000553932009 - Find out how to know if you are ready to pursue your purpose & change your life like Miki did https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-know-if-you-are-ready-to-pursue-your-purpose/id1608226580?i=1000554190755    Thanks for listening, fam.

Growing up in New Jersey, Payal Kadakia found a passion for Indian dance. As an adult living in New York City, she founded her own dance troupe, Sa Dance.
