Born and raised by entrepreneurs, fab’rik Founder Dana Spinola has been taught from a young age that if you love what you do you will never work another day in your life. This mantra inspired her to leave Corporate America and open her first boutique in 2002. Since then, she has carried out her mission of High Style With Heart nationwide with over 40 locations and growing. As Chief Visionary Officer, Dana’s vision for her company is to make women feel beautiful inside and out, one piece of fabric at a time.   Forbes called her “one of the five great American Entrepreneurs you haven’t heard of yet but should know” because of her dedication to not only building a growing fashion brand but for inspiring a culture of people to weave purpose into their companies and their life. Dana has taken this message not only onto the pages of her book, love what you do, but to stages across the country. She has been voted Business Person of the Year, Women Making a Mark, and has appeared in dozens of publications from Wall Street Journal to Elle.   While Dana sits at the head of a leading fashion franchise as well as a non-profit organization, her most rewarding job is being a wife and mom to her four children, two dogs and 20 chickens! She has three wild and adventurous boys, and a strong, fearless daughter, Asher, who they adopted from Ethiopia. When she is not busy speaking or running her company, she loves dance parties with her kids and sushi date nights with her husband. She learned the love of God on a trip to Haiti after the devastating earthquake and has been on a mission to share His love ever since. Her mission is to remind those people with broken dreams to dream big again… and has built her life around that.   More Info About Dana: Website-https://danaspinola.com/ Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/danaspinola/  https://www.instagram.com/fabrikstyle/

I would be too.” Plus: finding ways to stay connected to customers even while the business is closed.

The Storm Skiing Podcast #13 | Download this episode on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, and Pocket Casts | Read the full overview at skiing.substack.com.Who: Dana Bullen, President and General Manager of Sunday River, MaineWhy I interviewed him: Because Sunday River, sprawling and varied and improbable, is one of the finest physical manifestations of New England can-do grit and individual initiative. This is what the mountain looked like in 1961 (The main hill rising from the parking lot is Barker):It hadn’t evolved much by 1984:And then, all of a sudden, a decade later, it looked like some kind of vast European ski circus dropped on the western edge of Maine. The 1994 trailmap:The vision to transform the mountain from a backwater to something that could roll up next to Killington in the parking lot and be like, “what?” belonged, of course, to Les Otten. But since Boyne pulled the mountain off of the ASC gurney in 2007, they have made a serious commitment to, as Dana says in our interview, bringing the rest of the resort up to the standards of the best-in-the-region skiing. I wanted to get a better sense of how the mountain would continue to evolve on top of one of the best trail and lift networks in the Northeast.What we talked about: Sunday River 2030; working with Boyne to decide what to upgrade; Bethel and how it’s tied to the mountain; RFID coming next season; doubling snowmaking capacity; why Killington usually wins the race to open and why Sunday River won’t compete for last to close; what’s planned for Barker and sorry it won’t be next season; how the Gould Academy T-bar helped take pressure off Barker this season; why they’re upgrading the Jordan lift; how new lift technology helps limit wind holds; any new lifts at Sunday River will not be high-speed quads; the Hermitage Club’s six-pack bubble will not end up at Sunday River even if Boyne buys it; could Sunday River join Oktuplefest?; solving the uphill-capacity-versus-downhill-traffic equation when deciding which new lifts to install; you won’t believe how many chairlifts are at these Austrian resorts that Dana just visited; near-term updates for the White Cap quad; overhauling the resort’s core with upgrades to the South Ridge and North Peak quads; why they’ll update the fixed-grip Aurora quad; why some lifts not currently scheduled for an upgrade may get one anyway; why the Locke Mountain Triple is OK even though it dates to 1984; how Sunday River is evolving its culinary offerings with everything from sushi to a burger bar to local coffee and beer; new real estate developments and how this is not ASC redux; the difference between working for Boyne and ASC; the potential over the very very very long term to develop three additional peaks beyond Jordan Bowl; the mountain will consider adding more terrain on existing peaks as lift capacity increases; where that new terrain may be; how they maintain the glades and yes they will add more; the legacy of Les Otten, how he’s still involved with the mountain, and how often he skis there; skiing and living on Merrill Hill, which will be Sunday River’s ninth peak; how the mountain rebuilt so quickly after last summer’s disastrous pump-house fire; why Sunday River has night skiing, who uses it, and why it won’t expand; why there’s no Ikon Rage to be found on the mountain; the New England Pass in the age of Ikon; what Gould Academy is and its relationship with Sunday River; summer business; why Sunday River shut down its bike park and whether it could ever return.  The White Cap Quad on a cold December morning. What I got wrong: I’ve gotten the sense from talking to various folks who decide which lifts to invest in that there are inherent properties to high-speed lifts that make them slightly less durable than fixed-grip lifts over the long haul, but Dana clarified that this isn’t necessarily true – high-speed lifts are more complicated and have more parts, but more maintenance can extend their lives as long as fixed-grip lifts in general.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interview: Last week, Sunday River unveiled their 2030 plan, an outline of how Boyne will continue to build out the resort over the next decade. While the Sunday River hardcore may have preferred to see more direct terrain expansions or detail about lift enhancements, especially on Barker, the plan is a pragmatic acknowledgement that Sunday River’s future hinges upon building up the assets surrounding the already expansive trail base. This means making Sunday River more of a true modern resort, with better food, better lodges, updated on-mountain residences, more summer activities, modern conference space, and the spa-type stuff that’s expected from families with diverse vacation aspirations. But it also of course means continuing to build up the beastly snowmaking system, ditching my beloved wicket tickets for RFID technology (Sunday River and Sugarloaf are surely among the largest mountains in the country that haven’t made this switch yet), and upgrading a half dozen lifts. While Dana was not forthcoming on lift details, Boyne’s decades investing in state-of-the-art lift technology should reassure concerned skiers that whatever goes in there will be top notch. Sunday River provides a sense of being on the edge of the wilderness.Why you should go there: Because why would you not? The literal only thing Sunday River has working against it is distance from population centers, but that is of course an asset once you arrive. If you know how to move around the mountain, you can avoid liftlines most of the time. And there’s plenty to move around – I don’t know if there’s a more balanced mountain in New England, with more varied ways for skiers of all levels to move between peaks and end to end across the resort. A low intermediate can move from the top of Jordan Bowl to the White Cap lodge in one meandering and astonishing run, while experts can find trouble off of almost any peak if the snowpack is cooperating. The distinct peaks and pods can feel like separate ski areas, each with a personality, even as a skier moves seamlessly between them. Sunday River doesn’t get as much natural snow as the Vermont monsters, but they make up for it with a snowmaking system that could bury Fenway Park in half a day. If you have an Ikon Pass, make a weekend for this one – it’s worth the extra drive.Sunday River wraps peak after peak into the distance, offering a seemingly endless ski experience.The Storm Skiing Podcast is on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, and Pocket Casts.

Born and raised by entrepreneurs, fab’rik Founder Dana Spinola always knew a job could fulfill a bigger purpose. Her dreams to flourish both personally and professionally led Dana to start fab’rik in 2002 around the concept of high-style clothing with an affordable price tag. In 2006, Dana began franchising with like-minded women and has since grown fab'rik to 40+ stores across the U.S.Dana has always believed clothing has the ability to change lives. In 2009, she launched the brand's nonprofit arm, free fab’rik, which provides free shopping sprees for women and girls escaping sex trafficking. In 2012, fab'rik launched its in-house designed clothing line, Asher. Proceeds from the collection provide financial support for orphans in Kenya until they find their forever homes. At the intersection of passion and purpose, Dana has built a brand that truly delivers High Style with Heart.Forbes named her, “one of the five great American entrepreneurs you haven’t heard of yet but should know” because of her dedication to not only building a growing fashion brand but for inspiring a culture of people to weave purpose into their companies and their life. She was voted The Atlanta Business Journal’s Business Person of the Year, Women Making a Mark, 40 Under 40 and Women Who Mean Business, and has appeared in dozens of national publications from The Wall Street Journal to Elle. Motivational speaker, inspirational leader and author of ‘Love What You Do.’ Dana is committed to reminding women to dream big and and then chase those dreams relentlessly.Dana is a 1996 graduate of the University of Georgia in Management Information Systems. She resides in Atlanta with her husband, four children, two dogs and 20 chickens. While Dana sits at the head of a leading fashion franchise as well as a nonprofit organization, her most rewarding job is being a mom.

What are you thankful for? This week's episode features a guest I'm so thankful to have met and had the opportunity to work with this fall through the State Department's Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative. As host entrepreneur taking part in the program this year, I was lucky enough to be paired with the very first female founder of a repurposed fashion startup in Peru. On this week's show, we dive into her story, how she got to where she is today and key information any ethical brand should have before sourcing textiles and materials from her home country. Meet this week's guest, Dana Vidal, Founder of Remodela Fashion Lab. Sign up for the PressDope weekly email to get DIY PR tips and The Dope List of media opps, calls for pitches, FEST events and more ways to raise your visibility. What you'll learn It’s not everyday we get a designer from Peru, so we decided to ask her what the sustainable fashion space looks like from her side of the world! Dana Vidal of Remodela Fashion Lab says that Peru is famous for its fabrics made from alpaca fur, however, there are issues behind this luxurious textile that rarely get discussed. Thanks to a harsh climate where alpaca thrive best and poor working conditions all around them, alpaca workers are faced with a tough and, very often, inhumane way of life. Dana explains why sustainable brands and ethical fashion entrepreneurs need to check out manufacturing partners carefully before using this high-end fabric. How you'll be inspired Dana had one of the best deals anyone could ask for: a high-paying job, a fancy title, and career security. When she gave it all away, no one in her circle could fathom her reasoning. Dana, however, knew exactly what her why was, and she also knew that was chasing her passion for fashion and making a positive impact meant more than a corner office. Was it scary? Of course it was. But she took the leap to follow her startup dream all the same. Hear why and how she did it in this episode. What you'll tell your friends While Dana knows for sure that her passion for the environment came from her mother, her love for fashion is something that popped up out of nowhere. When she was young, she could always remember wanting to pick up a pair of scissors and remake things. Dana says she’d often wonder, “Why should I wear the same skin like everyone else? So boring!” We’re definitely happy Dana was showing some FEST-y characteristics as a child and that she ended up choosing the route that she did! Resource of the week Shut it down: the best tech tool Dana can recommend? Well, it's the least techie of them all: this startup founder says simple, close your computer. She swears by stepping away from the screen to stay organized and on the right track.

Dana Falsetti is a yoga instructor with a simple but revolutionary idea--yoga should be for everybody. Campaigning for equality, shame disruption, empowerment, sexual freedom and confidence, Dana has gained an online following of more than half a million people. She has traveled worldwide, hosting dozens of workshops for those seeking similar insights, and several of her viral videos have gleaned more than 20 million views. Dana won the 2017 Shorty Award for Health and Wellness on Social Media and had been featured in publications such as Seventeen, Women’s Health, People, Cosmopolitan, Huffington Post and Buzzfeed, among others. She has built her own platform where yoga students pay only what they can afford, for a practice that suits their ability status, and where compassion is at the heart of every lesson. Dana’s message really does just boil down to compassion for people of all sizes, all races, all ages, and all ability statuses. The lack of empathy in diet culture and the corporate wellness industry has led to a very visual and commercial understanding of “health.” Dana advocates for a broader, more holistic understanding of health that cannot be determined by your BMI (body mass index). Like many people, Dana dealt with a lot of shame throughout her life. She believed that she had to be a specific weight and reach a certain standard of beauty, to be allowed to thrive in modern society. Five years ago, she found yoga, and it helped pull her out of the insidious grasp of diet culture. While Dana has had her ups and downs during her yoga journey, she has reached a point where existing as herself and living her best life in the body is her highest truth - and she's helping others do the same. Dana also recommends: 1 Instagram account to follow to push you out of your comfort zone and challenge your ideas about body positivity and fatness. One book to read to help you build a firm foundation for your yoga practice. Join us at www.girlskill.com/74 P. S.

While Dana and Vincent somehow missed their invitation to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markel (congrats you crazy kids!!), they are still able to give all the English tea on what went down at the second most anticipated wedding of the century...after Big and Carrie's of course! Also on tap this episode, more darkness and light in "The Reckoning", a rundown of the fall TV lineup, Laurel or Yanny (or who really cares), Dana momentarily hacks up a lung, and this week's "Yeah or Meh" featuring the "Bohemian Rhapsody"/Queen biopic trailer, She-Ra Princess of Power reboot and the "Happytime Murders" trailer (think Avenue Q meets "The Heat").

We welcome Dana and Scott Bailey from Dana’s Studio of Dance and the Performing Arts Conservatory. http://danastudio.com/ They are our Super Heroes because they own 3 dance studios with 4 different dance companies, a performing arts conservatory, manage 60 teachers and hundreds of students. We couldn’t handle our small one little studio that we had for 5 years. Their studio locations are in Southlake,Keller and Coppell in Texas. We learn that Dana is ALWAYS RIGHT and her husband can never question her and he should always do whatever she says. They are going on 25 years of owning these dance studios and we discuss how staff, parents and friends have betrayed them, very close to what happened to us, while owning a dance studio. It is a complicated, very ugly business at times. We discuss the very first gut wrenching betrayal, where a teacher and friend announced on stage at recital that he was opening his own studio down the street. While Dana and Scott were cleaning up and tearing down the recital, this teacher was surrounded by all the children asking him where the new studio was at. They discuss another situation where a dance parent told them that his full intention was to take 20 % off their business right off the top. He put flyers on all cars in Dana’s studio parking lot while his own daughter was still taking dance there, and trying to get Scott fired from his job at the high school. To end this first part of our show with Scott and Dana we cannot believe the story they shared about the recital where police officers had to tazer a dance parent that was in a vicious fight with other dance parents about reserving seats.
