Glambition® Radio

How many fashion retailers came out of the last two years not only sustaining their business but landing well ahead of where they were? And also right after opening several new retail locations beforehand? You're about to hear that story, but there's much more to Paige Adams-Geller and her company PAIGE than meets the eye.

I first pulled on a pair of PAIGE jeans back in 2006 and felt I'd finally found the brand to fit me best. But since then, they've expanded to become a full lifestyle brand. (I ask her about this decision on this #GlambitionRadio – when do you know that's the right thing to do versus staying true to the original product? What's the risk of diluting the power of what you're known so well for?)

Paige's journey began in Los Angeles, where her entrepreneurial spirit took her from working as one of the top fit models in the industry to launching her namesake collection in 2004. But there are many twists and turns to her story, including not only why she decided to launch PAIGE but also become a fierce advocate for The Rape Foundation. (She shares how the traumatic experience led to later inspiration during our interview today, and I'm so honored she opened up for us.)

I am SO excited to announce that Paige will be a Special Guest Advisor for The Trust, joining us LIVE at our Official Fall Meeting here in Scottsdale, AZ on October 4+5, 2022! Want to join us? Learn more and apply here!

After founding the brand, today Paige sits at the helm as Creative Director, where she continues to lead with her commitment to cutting edge design and passion for creating 'pieces that you will live in'.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• The unlikely confidante who encouraged Paige to start her own clothing line (and then she quickly 'went for it')
• How PAIGE's leadership team navigated 'The Rona' and created opportunities during an inopportune time
• What's fashion-forward now in denim and other trends (I asked her to catch me up!) and how to make 'office casual' look and feel professional, yet stylish and comfortable
• How the PAIGE brand has evolved over the years from jeans, step by step
• Paige's advice on building and leading a dedicated team and maintaining a great company culture (this had a few gems I wrote down for sure)

Get ready to be pleasantly surprised by the depth and meaning Paige brings to the fashion industry as well as her passion for helping women entrepreneurs.

She tried to 'give away' her brilliant idea dozens of times, but no one in her industry wanted it. So finally, Suneera Madhani did it herself. Today, her company Stax has a $1 BILLION valuation (and it's the first women-led fintech company to do so). And all those guys who rejected her? They are now her partners. ;)

Suneera grew up in the U.S. with immigrant parents who were entrepreneurs out of necessity, where Suneera learned hard work and customer service firsthand – two traits that have led to her success today. She started in the payments industry immediately out of college, where she quickly saw that transactions and profit was being prioritized over people.

That's when she had the idea to start a subscription-based credit card processing company. For one monthly fee, businesses could process all the customer transactions they wanted. After repeated rejection by both her bosses and others in the industry, Suneera finally decided in 2014 that if she wanted to see her idea come to fruition, she would have to do it herself.

Stax is now one of America's top 10 fastest-growing fintech companies doing integrated payments and payment processing for small and large businesses, processing over $23 billion in payments per year. (And I'm a client myself!)

Under Suneera's leadership, Stax has catapulted from startup to Orlando's first fintech unicorn, leading more than 250 employees and $100 million+ in recurring software revenue. Suneera has become a notable minority female entrepreneur, breaking countless statistics and raising over $500 million in venture capital.

Suneera has been recognized as an honoree on Fortune's 40 Under 40 list and is the recipient of EY's Entrepreneur of the Year award. She has been featured in Bloomberg, Fortune, Inc, and more for her accomplishments not only in fintech but as a woman passionate about helping other women succeed through her platform at CEO School, a top business podcast.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• How Stax evolved from a concept in Suneera's mind into a company valued at $1 billion in less than 8 years
• The ONE thing she has done from the very beginning that she contributes to her massive success
• Suneera's advice on owning your superpower (I loved this!)
• Her passion for closing gender pay gaps and increasing diversity in her industry of fintech
• And much more.

You'll love Suneera's passion and no-nonsense approach to entrepreneurship, workplace culture, and life!

It's 'Flip the Script' Summer here on #GlambitionRadio, so that means YOU get to hear the tables turned on ME… in four of the BEST interviews I've been on over the past year or two!

For our final episode of this series, can we talk about embracing the natural power of being a WOMAN… yes, please! You're going to love this interview of me by Tara Marino on her podcast 'The Beautiful Soul-Led Life'. (Be sure to subscribe here.)

Tara and I get real about the consequences of women operating out of our alignment, and why it is more important than ever for women to get in tune with who we really are to fully honor + trust ourselves.

Tara's company Elegant Femme shows women how to honor and trust themselves fully in life and business… with grace and style. She is such a kind, generous soul with an effortless energy that I'm sure you will pick up on throughout our conversation.

On this episode of 'The Beautiful Soul-Led Life' on Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• The changes happening within the Feminine Collective and why we should be paying attention
• How being triggered can actually help you uplevel in a grand way and become more a more confident leader
• How the past few years have allowed me to reconnect with who I really am, and how that has positively impacted my business decisions and growth
• Why homeschooling has been one of the greatest choices and experiences for my family… and me personally
• How to draw on your creative energy at will to come up with new ideas, solutions, and opportunities to disrupt the status quo
• What the world needs from women right now… and how we can be a part of the revolution

We also get nostalgic talking about all the fun 'dazzle' I used to feature at my live events… including acrobats in Vegas, cowboys in Dallas, and more!

It's 'Flip the Script' Summer here on #GlambitionRadio, so that means YOU get to hear the tables turned on ME… in four of the BEST interviews I've been on over the past year or two!

This week, you'll hear my interview by Jaime Masters on her inspiring podcast 'The Eventual Millionaire'. (Be sure to subscribe here.) We recorded this back in 2020, but it was SO GOOD… I wanted to make sure you didn't miss it.

Jaime has me share my story through all its evolutions, twists and turns… back into the '90s and even prior to that. It was such a magical time -- when the web first came alive. I share how I knew immediately from that first dial-up connection it was going to be a gamechanger for my future.

And all these fun facts came out of this conversation – for example, I stayed up nights learning how to do basic code, so I could fix my first websites quickly when needed.

On this episode of 'Eventual Millionaire' on Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• Why you need to start doing the OPPOSITE of what everyone else in your industry is doing (for the sake of your future)
• Why 'making better programs' than your competition is not enough anymore (and what to do about it)
• How I changed my business focus and evolved 'old' business practices to achieve more success + happiness (so many of us are at this place right now)
• The secrets to making an impact as a woman entrepreneur in the masculine world of business
• Why you need to assess and disrupt your metrics, especially when making a transition (including tips on how to do it!)
• And so many other juicy tidbits! Including a few fun things about my kids and family.

Jaime Masters, also known as 'The Eventual Millionaire', has been helping business owners simplify and become more profitable for over 10 years. She has interviewed 500 multi-millionaires on her podcast on how they've created and sustained millionaire wealth. (I was honored to be one of them!)

It's 'Flip the Script' Summer here on #GlambitionRadio, so that means YOU get to hear the tables turned on ME… in four of the BEST interviews I've been on over the past year or two!

This week, here's my interview by Baeth Davis on her fantastic podcast 'Align By Your Design'. (Be sure to subscribe here.) Baeth and I openly talk about our journeys in the online business world, as well as hopeful ideas for what the future of business will hold (once we get through the muck).

—> Fun fact: Baeth bought the very first ticket to my very first workshop ever… back in 2005! We share the fun story in this conversation.

On this episode of 'Align by Your Design' on Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• My take on how the internet and social media changed the game for business, and what I anticipate the future will hold
• The behind-the-scenes stories of how I have built a profitable brand that has lasted for over 20 years – AND followed my personal evolution
• My journey from freelancing to launching The Trust, my premier network for 7 + 8 figure entrepreneurs

To kick things off, here's my interview by Lisa Larter on her fantastic 'She Talks Business' podcast. (Be sure to subscribe here.) Lisa and I agree on so many things, including the insanity taught within many of the brainwashed online marketing spaces.

Not only is Lisa a solid coach and 7-figure business leader, she is also a past client and one of the founding members of The Trust. During our conversation, we dive into the why + how of the 'sharp right turn' I made back in the early 2010s, when I decided to disassemble my complex business and large-scale programs… and instead rebuild something I was feeling deeply called to.

On this episode of 'She Talks Business' on Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• The behind-the-scenes details of my experience on the ABC reality show 'Secret Millionaire' back in 2011, and the profound impact it had on the direction of my business and identity
• How I found the courage to let go of my multi-seven figure business and huge team (and what my biggest fear truly was during this time)
• The warning signs to look and listen for that will let YOU know it's time to change lanes (before it's too late)
• How I launched (and then quickly shifted) The Trust, my premier network for 7 + 8 figure entrepreneurs, right when the pandemic hit (this organization was intended to revolve solely around in-person meetings!)
• My take on what it means to become a category of one versus a thought leader

If you aren't familiar with my background and story, this episode is one you won't want to miss!

It started with many of you asking for more SOLO episodes – ones where I share more about my observations, advice, and stories from my experiences.

And I was thinking, well what's the next best thing to doing a summer series of solo episodes? The answer was a summer series of great shows where you can hear ME interviewed.

So the entire month of June will be 'Flip the Script Summer' here on Glambition Radio! And today's episode walks you through it all.

I've been on some super shows over the last year or two. And these interviewers led me into some DEEP conversations where some of my BEST anecdotes, admissions, and revelations have come out. And I want to share these with you.

On this episode — and throughout these weekly 'shows within a show'—you'll hear me dish on...

* The insanity taught within many of the brainwashed online marketing spaces

* The why + how of the 'sharp right turn' I made back in the mid 2010s, when I decided to disassemble my complex business and large-scale programs… create some space... and instead rebuild something I was feeling deeply called to.

* Behind-the-scenes details of my experience on the ABC primetime reality show 'Secret Millionaire' back in 2011, and the profound impact it had on the direction of my business and identity, and so much more.

* A full walkthrough of how I built a profitable 20+ year brand – one that's gone through many variations to suit my personal evolutions

*My own human design + life purpose, which has helped me continually re-tune into my 'north star' over the years

*And we take it back to the '90's Ali,' where I share the story of picking up one of those AOL CDs for the first time -- I knew the trajectory of my business would change forever (And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, we'll explain to you, LOL)

*How I feel your BEST bet today is to do things the complete opposite of your industry

*The consequences of operating out of alignment, and why it is more important than ever for women to get in tune with who we really are to fully honor and trust themselves

*Changes happening within the feminine collective and how to address and identify triggers to help you powerfully uplevel and become a more confident leader

*The decision to homeschool my twins, who just turned 9

...and SO much more.

Listen now to this episode giving the FULL scoop on these hosts and shows, a lot more details, and what to expect over the next few weeks. Also, I share about our summer plans and how the kids just love traveling. :)

Have a wonderful season. My team will keep things going until I'm back in a month or two.

And remember – get out and play. We only have so many summers in this lifetime.

Right now there are battles going on around the world, on every level, in every way. But they are also a mirror for what's going on within *ourselves*.

We are trying to solve problems with the same mindsets + systems that created them. And we are caught in an endless loop of madness. I do see and feel that so many are finally realizing that a *massive change* is needed. But… how does that apply to YOU, and your world of creation?

It's been a while since I did a solo episode of #GlambitionRadio, so I wanted to start the summer with a bang! AND I'm sharing a few *exciting updates* on some opportunities that YOU can participate in with me later this summer and fall.

The theme in the air? Our old ways versus the new. Old ways of doing, being, and transforming are making way (gently or abruptly) for new, better ways. And I don't just mean incremental improvements – I'm talking about totally walking away from what never really suited us in the first place. We are here to create the new. And the female entrepreneurs are the ones leading the charge in so many categories.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• How to honor who you really are, step into your genius, and do business YOUR way – finally, without comparison or apology
• My take on how to 'win' these battles happening in the world… and internally (they are mirroring each other right now)
• The aspect of business that many 7+8 figure business leaders are currently experiencing the most turmoil and transition in
• How to lean into your intuition and identify what you are resisting to make revolutionary changes in your life and business

Be sure to listen until the end, where I share my exciting announcements for the summer (hint: I'm doing something different with the podcast!) and a NEW private event coming for 7+8 figure founders who would like to learn more about The Trust.

It's the women who are doing business differently, in an extraordinary way. And there's one particular 'Alpha Femme' epitomizing this movement: Melanie Ann Layer of Quebec, Canada.

Starting as an 'invisible coach' in 2017, whose name was shared solely by word of mouth, Melanie's business and Alpha Femme brand quickly grew – without a website, podcast, viral videos, ads, or a best-selling book.

She is known for her unique approach to feminine leadership and wealth energetics, but it started with one big shift after a job loss which led to a bankruptcy. The entire ordeal left her sleeping in her car, but Melanie took her first "life coaching" call from the front seat of her Honda Civic in 2013. (She explains the whole story in our interview.)

Through a journey of evolution and growth, she's grown her business to revenues over $20M, with consistent million dollar months since November 2020. Her shift is a testament to her teachings that now serve women all around the globe.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, I speak with Melanie about her unconventional approach to online business, which has left many puzzled... and so many more excited and magnetized. Because it's so different compared with anything else out there.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• About the Google search that inspired Melanie to reframe her thoughts after ending a romantic relationship of 7 years
• How Melanie started her coaching business from that first phone call, and how she first approached growing her venture into something significant
• The secret behind building an 8-figure brand *without* a website, viral content, a podcast, ads, or best-selling book (hallelujah!)
• Melanie's practice of 'The Art of Business', and how it has contributed to her success
• How one unfortunate media 'hit piece' reporting on her achievements was an initial shock, but the experience solidified her stance in helping other women embrace and champion 'unconventional' success

After getting to know Melanie well this year as a private client (and now as a member of The Trust!), I am thrilled to share this deep conversation about her energetic approach on this episode of #GlambitionRadio.

'Let It Be Easy' with Susie Moore— Glambition® Radio Episode 285 with Ali Brown

Can it really be… this… EASY? Our guest today says YES… even if you're in the midst of what feels like a struggle. I have to admit, I'd known OF Susie over the years and felt like I already 'knew' her. But then we finally talked (on this episode)! There were SO many things I wasn't aware of that make both her story and her attitude incredibly rich and inspiring.

Susie spent much of her childhood growing up in domestic violence shelters, driving her to vow that one day she'd create a much different life for herself. But instead of going for what our typical path for success would be, she skipped college and instead opted to travel, live, and work all over the world. I love how she's created her own version of success while thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. (And this spirit comes through in our interview!)

Susie and her work have been featured on the Today show, Oprah, Business Insider, CNN, Forbes, Time Inc, Marie Claire and … you get the idea. ;) Her new book Let It Be Easy is her third book, which is about simple ways to stop stressing and start living.

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, Susie shares how her upbringing of struggle is a part of the success she created today, the business models she uses to make AND impact millions – on her own schedule, and more.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you'll hear:

• Why *confidence* is the ULTIMATE productivity hack (I LOVED this one!)
• How Susie discovered life coaching, and what pulled her to pursue this big career change when she was 30
• Susie's 'good enough' philosophy, and how to implement it in your own life and business, while still maintaining high standards
• Advice on how to finally embrace BIG VISIBILITY – so you can be discovered in a greater way, and get more done in less time
• How we are both NOT convinced that a *university degree* is a must for anyone these days. (I am not attached to my own twins going to college, and I explain why.)

Plus, you DON'T want to miss us getting fired up about *the RELAXED, successful woman rebellion* (and why you want to be a part of it)!
