In this episode of Founders Future, with host Sam Aramando, we sit down with Stephanie Fontano, the passionate founder behind Flexible Wellness and the Bliss Up podcast. Stephanie shares her journey from a corporate health fitness professional to a holistic lifestyle coach, revealing how she identified a critical gap in traditional wellness programs. She discusses her core philosophy of moving beyond just fitness to address the root causes of imbalance, including nutrition, stress, and mindset, to help clients achieve sustainable health without extreme measures.

Stephanie opens up about the realities of building her business as a "one-woman show," relying primarily on organic social media and client referrals for growth. She candidly discusses the challenges of predictable client acquisition and her own personal hurdles, such as overcoming financial mindset blocks. Looking ahead, she shares her vision for launching new group programs and online courses to expand her impact, emphasizing the importance of founder self-development as the true foundation for a successful and aligned business.
