In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we meet Heidi C. Hutchison, JD/MBA, the founder and CEO of Third30. Heidi shares her powerful personal story of facing ageism in the corporate world after a successful career as a CMO, which led to her epiphany: she no longer wanted the traditional corporate ladder and was determined to create a fulfilling "third chapter" of life. This experience became the catalyst for Third30 a leadership coaching and consulting company dedicated to helping professional women in midlife rediscover their purpose, redefine success, and design a meaningful next season with intention and impact.

Heidi delves into the core of her work, explaining that the first and biggest hurdle for her clients is often mindset—shedding the limiting beliefs and societal narratives that tell women they are diminishing in value with age. She outlines her multifaceted approach, which includes one-on-one coaching, group masterminds, and retreats, all designed to build a supportive community where women can help each other navigate this transition. Looking ahead, Heidi discusses her vision to scale the Third30 movement beyond her own efforts, aiming to combat ageism and empower as many women as possible to reclaim their wisdom, expertise, and power in their third 30 years.
