From the second I sat down with Ashley, we had an immediate connection. We were wearing the same hat, immediately both spilled about how we’re housesitting for friends while going through breakups, and bonded over our current goals. And this was all before we hit record. I LOVED recording with Ashley - hearing about how she built Mala Collective (one of the most successful mediation focused companies of the last decade), her founder story, and the way she ensures she, and her coaching clients, are living within their purpose is something I will take with me always. 

I hope that you guys love this episode, and don’t forget, Mala collective is graciously giving one meditation fusion ($258 value) to a lucky listener!! Either write a review on apple podcasts, or share the episode to your social, and you’ll be entered to win! 

Love you all! Hope you love this one like I did.

• Taking time off as a fitness instructor, and how hard that can be 
• The importance of minority representation in fitness
• Peloton behind the scenes - aka who does the hair & makeup, possibility for a blooper reel, etc.

I recently caught up with friend and former lululemon ambassador, Regina Smith. I had the opportunity to meet Regina many years ago, and see her shine as she led her community through countless yoga classes at both Lifetime and her own studio, Gritty Buddha. She is also the owner of a coffee shop and local watering hole, The Karmic Grind on Long Island. What we focus on in this episode are the happy accidents that lead us to where we should be, and how unexpected life moments (Car Accidents & Pandemics among many others) force us to pivot. 

I love this episode so much, and hope you do, too.

In this episode, we chat with Dianna Falzarano about her fitness experience as well as starting her own business, Dynamic Fitness which she launched the summer of 2020. While we’ve seen many businesses move digital out of necessity, Dianna already had her mind set on starting her own business prior to the pandemic. If you know Dianna, she’s always kept busy working at multiple gyms and studios, handling marketing for the likes of SoulCycle, as well as privately training her own clients. 

Dianna was kind enough to share with us her list of must-haves for her business. Take note if you’re looking to get started yourself:

WordPress

Vimeo

Mailchimp

Zoom 

IMovie

PYLE Mixer and Microphone

Logitech HD Pro Webcam

You’ll also hear us mention Erika on this episode, check her out if you’re interested in starting your own business as she’s been super inspirational to both Dianna and myself. 

If you’re interested in training with her through Dynamic Fitness, she’s offering a special discount to Friday Society listeners: fridaysociety (all lowercase) will give you $10 Off any purchase, which will make the first month of the subscription free! Let us know if you try it out and what you think.

WOW. Guys, this episode is everything I needed to hear and so much more. Anne is so powerful, such an amazing advocate for what she believes in, and shares her side of the 2020 story. She's an incredible businesswoman, building over 70 [solidcore] locations in six years, and is an advocate for underserved communities (she founded Back On My Feet, a nonprofit that serves homeless communities through physical activity). I was so inspired by our conversation that I knew this one needed to be published early, in the event one of you listeners needed to hear this conversation as much as I did.

If you love the podcast, please screenshot and post to your stories or share with a friend! It goes a long way!
