For Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary, a collaborative hub and co-working space for professional women centered around learning, gathering and connecting, what keeps her going is the mindset she learned from her father: “just walk it off.” Cate had a successful career in international banking and at one point was told to slow down because it made her colleagues look bad. Cate wanted to make a bigger and broader impact, which led her to write the business plan for Luminary and launch this unique space for women. After just one year, Luminary has grown by more than 600 members plus some 30 corporate members and pivoted to digital membership during the quarantine without missing a beat. Cate joins scaling coach Julia Pimsleur to share her journey, including: how she learned that, as an entrepreneur, you have to run your own race; why her experience with IVF inspired a determination to have an impact and, ultimately, led to creating Luminary; and, how having parents who were an FBI agent and a teacher made Cate who she is today.

Jean Thompson of Seattle Chocolate Company - When Chocolate Is Your Business
Friday, December 13, 2019 • Duration 35:42
At first glance, Jean Thompson didn’t seem to be the likely, or obvious, CEO of a multi-million dollar chocolate company. She spent a big part of her career at Microsoft. And, when she became a mother, stepped out of the workforce for a decade. It took a force of nature -- an earthquake -- that set in motion her next sweet career, as an investor and then CEO of the Seattle Chocolate Company -- even though few people thought she could do it, including, some days, herself. Jean joins Julia Pimsleur to share her journey and about the compassion and determination she cultivated that allowed her to turn around a once-failing company into a multimillion-dollar success story; the push she gave to the company to make jcoco, a chocolate with a social impact mission that has donated more than 4 million servings of food to those in need; and, the real reason why women love chocolate so much.

Sam DiGennaro of DGC - Press Whisperer
Thursday, December 5, 2019 • Duration 39:39
If you run a business, at some point you will have a crisis. And if you run a big business you'll probably have a really big crisis, or many crises. That’s where Sam DiGennaro and her company DiGennaro Communications come in. Sam and her company DGC work with some of the top names in tech, innovation, and media like Hulu, Facebook, and Pinterest to respond to a crisis or communicate a big change.

Sam's pioneering spirit, a huge part of her success, was already full force as a teenager when she stood up in defense of her high school volleyball team. Sam joins Julia Pimsleur to share her journey, and how considering worst-case scenario is key; why smiling through everything is necessary for effective leadership; the importance of empathy; why meditation is one of her key mindset practices; and, the concept of "failing forward".

Sarah Carson of Leota - Dress for Success
Wednesday, November 13, 2019 • Duration 46:07
Sarah Carson is the founder of Leota, a women’s apparel company which she has grown into a multi million dollar business. What's more, she's done this in the highly competitive fashion industry where only 14% of companies are run by women. She also happens to hold a black belt in Kung Fu, and one of the things she took away from her time competing is: only constant failure can lead to constant improvement (a pretty helpful mindset mantra if you want to be an entrepreneur). Before creating Leota, when she worked in the male dominated world of finance, she felt she needed to hide her femininity. That's part of what inspired her quest to reinvent power dressing with Leota. "Fashion for Real Life", she calls it. Leota is named for her great-grandmother, and is built on the principles of empowerment, size inclusivity and optimism. Sarah shares her journey with Julia Pimsleur, including why, for Sarah, doing business differently is the only way to do business; why Sarah believes that striving for balance is striving for mediocrity; the shock of realizing she had limits, and what she did to manage them; and, the one big change Sarah changed in her schedule that transformed her life.

Alexandra Hartman of MKT Grafton - Attention Toward Intention
Wednesday, November 6, 2019 • Duration 34:15
Ali Hartman leads a double life: She's a finance executive in New York City, pursuing an ambitious career --- and her other life is running a general store in the small town of Grafton, VT. She and her husband moved there from Brooklyn a few years ago, and fell in love with general store that was the heart and soul of the town. Shortly after they moved there, the general store closed. Instead of bemoaning the loss, Ali and her new friend June decided to take over and reinvent the store, bringing it into the 21st Century and online, along with new products and services. In just a year, MKT Grafton has served more than 75,000 people in a town of only 350. Ali was raised in a social justice activist household, and realized that to be a change-maker you need to do it from a base of business knowledge. Running the general store seemed like a natural move, and was an opportunity to make a big change in her own community. Ali shares her story with Julia Pimsleur, including how she put her trust in her business partner and both of their spouses to do something they never thought they'd do; how a "never give up mindset" of resilience that came of her athletic background has been an important tool; and Ali's best mindset practices, including putting your attention toward your intention.

Angie Raja of RIMSports - Resistance in Motion
Friday, October 25, 2019 • Duration 33:29

Angie shares how a desire to wear a pink pair of Nike's inspired a business; how Angie react the day the company hit a million dollars in sales; her second mindset shift; how Angie washes her mind of roadblocks; and, the advice she’d like to give herself when she cofounded the company.
