In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we sit down with Carlee Pizzolato, the passionate CEO behind Top Shelf Fitness, LLC. Carlee shares her powerful journey of hitting a personal and professional breaking point, which led her to leave a corporate sales career and a toxic relationship to move back home. Driven by a desire to rebuild her life and inspired by her athletic background and her mother's legacy as a fitness coach, she returned to her roots in health and wellness. This pivotal reset was the catalyst for creating her business, turning her own story of overcoming challenges into a mission to empower other women.

Carlee delves into the core of Top Shelf Fitness, LLC detailing her dual-offering business model. She provides high-touch, personalized virtual coaching for women seeking transformative, one-on-one guidance, all managed through her custom app for maximum convenience. To scale her impact, she also runs Top Shelf Studio, a subscription-based "Netflix of fitness" offering a vast library of workouts, recipes, and courses. Carlee discusses the realities of being a solopreneur, her organic growth strategies rooted in storytelling and community connection, and her future vision of scaling the subscription service to help more women find confidence and strength by rebuilding their relationship with food and their bodies.
