It’s been a nutty few weeks for me because, in case you hadn’t heard, I exited my corporate job earlier this year. If you don’t know the story, you should enroll in our emails where you can get the latest and greatest stories and additional content from us delivered to your door (well, virtual door). I then started my own consulting business, not really knowing what to expect. But after I started telling people what I was up to, I have been flooded with inquiries and I’m overwhelmed with emotion and hope these days. I also have been getting a huge dose of inspiration from our own guests, which has been incredibly cathartic for me, including the guest we have today, of whom I’m a total fangirl... Anne Mahlum.

About Anne Mahlum

Mahlum is a female entrepreneur who knows how to create and build with purpose… and she knows how to do it quickly.  She is currently the Founder, Owner and CEO of a fast-growing boutique fitness company she founded in DC in 2013 called [solidcore] In just under 5 years, Anne has grown her company to 36 locations (entirely corporately owned) with more than 100,000 clients, including Michelle Obama.

Prior to [solidcore], Anne was the CEO of Back on My Feet (BoMF), a non-profit organization she founded in Philadelphia in 2007 that uses the power of running to change the way those experiencing homelessness see themselves so they can make real change in their lives, which includes employment and independent housing. In addition to Philadelphia, the organization now has chapters in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Boston, Chicago, Dallas,Indianapolis, Atlanta, New York City, Austin and Los Angeles. Anne led BoMF to become a $6.5M privately-funded organization with staff of 48, thousands of volunteers and hundreds of members. Anne's vision for Back on My Feet is simple, yet bold  - to help as many people as possible, in the most efficient way possible, redefine themselves so they can redefine their life and, just as important - change the perception of homelessness on a global scale.

Anne’s work with Back on My Feet has been featured countless times in both local and national media.  In 2012, Anne hosted a documentary for MTV called The Break on youth homelessness and she was recently featured in a book, called 50 Everyday Heroes. Anne has been named ABC world News Person of the Week, a CNN Hero, New Yorker of the Week, a top 40 under 40 individual by both Philadelphia and Washington DC’s Business Journal.

Here’s to Getting Unstuck,
Cynthia

This week our show is brought to you by our introductory Getting Unstuck Program, which is a FREE course. I can speak from my own personal experience as to how fearful and anxious I was at times once I stepped out on my own and decided to build my own consulting business,. I had a vision and a mission, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to work and how it was all going to come together. I pushed passed the fear and then enlisted my own advice, which is detailed out in Goal Magic’s Getting Unstuck Program, and I can tell you honestly and with complete sincerity that this stuff works, folks! I now have 3 signed contracts and more inquiries about my work than I can manage in any given day. If you want those same results and to find that path forward in whatever way you want to get unstuck, then enroll now at www.goalmagic.co/getunstuck. This is different from our usual emails that we send from time to time so if you want IN on this, sign your badass self up and work your way to freedom, my friends!
