  • An inspiration to young women

    I’m so glad I came across this podcast. I’m only 21 and therefore getting the hang of how to be an adult and handling ups and downs gracefully. Society puts a pressure on women to be beautiful, and I take pride in my femininity, but I am grateful to listen to people who are educated, generous, giving, impactful, and are paving the way for my generation. I’ll be listening to this on my commute to get some inspiration for my career and personal growth as I graduate and head into the “real world”. ... more

Episode 316 Shane Evans, CEO & Co-Founder of Heights Wellness Retreat: From Massage to Longevity - Reinventing Wellness Before the Market Catches Up
Q: How have you cracked the case with franchises?
Evans says franchise businesses must evolve with customers. Research showed that customers wanted multiple wellness modalities in one experiential location and a sense of community, while careful attention to franchisee profitability and unit economics remains essential.
Episode 316 Shane Evans, CEO & Co-Founder of Heights Wellness Retreat: From Massage to Longevity - Reinventing Wellness Before the Market Catches Up
Q: How did you actually get from that very entry level role into saying, I'm going to do this myself?
After fitness work and medical sales, Evans wanted a business of her own. A disappointing massage experience inspired her to create a convenient, affordable membership model; the first location opened four months later, followed by a second location and eventually franchising.
Episode 317, Ron Gee, Beauty Industry Executive and Luminary Advisor of Accenture: What Really Happens When Beauty Brands Get Acquired And What Comes Next
Q: So why is there even still a desire? Why is acquiring still a desire?
Gee says acquisitions can provide innovation and consumer connection that a strategic company cannot readily recreate, including connections built by founders or through a brand's mission.
Episode 317, Ron Gee, Beauty Industry Executive and Luminary Advisor of Accenture: What Really Happens When Beauty Brands Get Acquired And What Comes Next
Q: Most deals don't work out the way they expect to at acquisition for a strategic company. Can you tell me why it doesn't matter and make it like layman's terms?
Gee explains that large public companies report business units and must substantiate their value. A smaller acquisition can represent a large share of a small company's value, making missed expectations more consequential, while a large company's broad portfolio can absorb more risk.
Episode 315 Michelle Lee, CMO Landing International and K Beauty World - Seeing What’s Next: Beauty, Culture and the Career Power of Reinvention
Q: What was going through your mind when you finally got the Allure editor-in-chief job, given the scale and history of the brand?
I felt out of my depth initially, surrounded by icons and a legacy; over time I learned to take more creative risks, understood the business side, and grew into a role that balanced content leadership with revenue and branding.
