Alexa von Tobel, Founder & CEO of LearnVest and author of Financially Fearless, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

Listen here now:

[insert music notes here] “Business School Drop Out”…. (sung to the tune of “Beauty School Drop Out” from Grease)…
OK maybe that doesn’t work. But 30-year-old Alexa von Tobel has gone from leaving a promising career on Wall Street and Harvard Business School to create the best site for women* around finance. Actually, just the best site around finance, period.
(She says LearnVest is not just for women, but it IS resonating with women in droves. Why? Because it finally makes sense. And the majority of her marketing is very appealing to women.

Kara Goldin, Conscious Capitalist, Founder & CEO of Hint Water, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

“Do you have a product or an idea that is going to solve a problem?” –Kara Goldin
I love Kara’s story because it captures the essence of what being an entrepreneur is all about: There was a product that she needed. It didn’t exist. She created it. Done.
This is why she’s truly a Glambition Girl… but I’ll get to that in a second.
In the 1990s, Kara was one of the first 100 employees at AOL, where she helped turn the company’s online shopping business into a billion-dollar entity. A busy mom with three kids at the time, she left AOL in 2001 to spend more time with her family.

Pam Slim: How Defining Your “Body of Work” Will Change Your Life, this Week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

“What are we creating that is both highly exciting for us and also making the world a better place?” asks Pam Slim.

And there you have it. My Glambition Radio interview with Pam Slim brought me to tears, as she is so profound. (And all this truth is wrapped up in this humble ball of love of a woman who is also a mixed-martial arts master. I mean really.)

Pam’s first book, Escape from Cubicle Nation, rocked the house, but her newest book really speaks to what’s going on in our careers and hearts right now.

Tory Johnson, Good Morning America contributor and author of The Shift, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

If you watch Good Morning America, it’s likely you’ve seen Tory Johnson’s powerful segments that help women advance their careers and start small businesses. (She’s even spotlighted one of my coaching clients!)

Last year, everyone noticed how great Tory was looking, and it wasn’t hard to notice because she’s lost more than 70 pounds, after carrying extra weight for most of her life. The process was so transformational for her that she wrote a New York Times bestselling book about her journey called The Shift: How I Finally Lost Weight and Discovered a Happier Life.

Porter Gale, author of Your Network is Your Net Worth and former Marketing VP of Virgin America, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

Porter Gale is a class act, and I’m proud she’s a friend of mine. This Glambition Girl helped grow Richard Branson’s Virgin America brand from its inception into one of the most beloved and popular airlines in the U.S. (It’s my favorite airline for sure.)

And her 2013 book Your Network is Your Net Worth has been called “masterful”, “compelling”, and “an instant classic”.

I first met Porter about two years ago via a mutual friend, and then I was honored that she interviewed me for her book, which I’m mentioned in a few times.

Alli Webb of Drybar: How One Woman and a Blowdryer Took Over America, this Week on Glambition™ Radio

Where do you go that’s yellow and white, fun and girly, plays rom-com movies and great music, gives you free wi-fi and iPhone chargers, and within an hour you walk out looking like a million bucks?

It’s called Drybar and I am now obsessed with it. And while it was hard to choose which Glambition Girl to feature for our first interview, Alli Webb blew me away. (Pun intended.)

It was time…

January 17, 2014

It was time.

Since my babies were born this past summer, I’ve been craving doing something creative and fun.

Something of a passion project.

But with incredible purpose as well.

Something to celebrate and support women doing incredible things in the world—from business… to philanthropy… to leading new movements in how we think and feel about ourselves.

“7 Mantras for Becoming a Money Magnet in the New Year” by Ali Brown

January 2, 2014

When I mentor my entrepreneur clients, most of them are surprised to discover that I often spend just as much time coaching them on a correct money mindset as I do on sound business strategies. How you think and feel about money is just as important as how you earn it. But if you don’t think and feel wealthy, then you’ll never get to that point.

So you need to think rich, feel rich, and take rich actions to achieve the lifestyle you want and to support the causes (and people) you care about.
