Blended Strategy, Bold Intuition: Allison Statter on Business & Motherhood
In this episode of The Stiletto Room, I sit down with one of my favorite people on the planet - Allison Statter, CEO & Founder of Blended Strategy Group and XOa Fragrance, and devoted boy mom. She is the daughter of my dear friends, legendary music executive Irving Azoff and powerhouse matriarch Shelli Azoff, and she is a true baller in her own right.
We get real about what it actually feels like to be stretched in a million directions as working mothers, entrepreneurs, and connectors in an industry that still doesn’t put nearly enough women in the top jobs. Allison talks about what it was like for her growing up Azoff, going on the road in the summers with the Eagles, and how listening in on her dad’s calls and watching her parents build community made the business feel like it was “in her DNA.”
Allison breaks down why authentic partnerships beat clout-chasing every time, how her intuition drives fast, decisive choices for brands, and the unglamorous truth about launching and sustaining a business — from Blended Strategy Group to her signature fragrance line, XOa. I share the wild story of my clair-sentient astrologer’s predictions, and we dive into energy, karma, and the power of trusting your gut.
This episode is a front-row seat to a conversation between two women who love hard, work hard, and refuse to apologize for being both: mothers, bosses, and believers in our own magic.
