In this solo episode, I share how a recent post by Richard Branson got me thinking—about innovation, about courage, and about what it means to be the first to do something truly different. It inspired me to bring this conversation to you because I believe there’s something out there that you, as a dance studio owner, might just be the one to create or change.

I want to challenge you to reflect on our industry: what’s missing, what could be better, and what idea is sitting quietly in your imagination, waiting for you to be brave enough to bring it to life. Whether it’s a fresh approach to exams, a new way of serving your students, or something that’s never existed before—I’ll help you explore that spark.

I also open up about my own version of “Virgin Atlantic”—a brand-new project I’ve been working on behind the scenes that I believe could be game-changing for our community.

This is an episode about vision, belief, and acting on those little whispers that could lead to something amazing. Let’s find out what yours might be.
