Disclaimer: This podcast is recorded live through social media as a way to engage with the audience in real time and to share encouragement and information with those who need it. Because of this format, little to no editing is done to the audio before it is released on podcast streaming platforms. While you may notice the natural flow of a live conversation, I hope you find the stories, insights, and discussions meaningful and valuable.
Optimism isn’t fluffy. It’s foundational. Especially when you’re building a business, carrying a legacy, and carving space in a male-dominated industry.
In Episode 11 of The Connie Korbelic Podcast, we continue the UNICORN Career Series with “O is for Optimism”—and we’re joined by powerhouse entrepreneur Ashley Holder, owner of Touch-UP DFW, a commercial furniture repair business she took over from her father.
After 15 years of hands-on experience, Ashley didn’t just inherit the business—she transformed it. With precision, care, and vision, she’s growing the brand, honoring her roots, and stepping into her identity as a confident leader in a space still mostly led by men.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
What it really takes to step into leadership after family legacy How to grow a brand with craftsmanship, consistency, and care.
