Find out the EXACT day you’ll hit Million Dollar Run Rate: https://bit.ly/p-million-dollar-day-calculator Two years ago, Lily was sitting in a lawyer’s office, her business partner had just pulled out, the lease was signed, the money was gone, and she was staring down the barrel of a $70k loan with a newborn on her hip. Most people would’ve walked away. She didn’t. Instead, she backed herself, rallied a village, rebuilt her identity through movement, and turned Limber into one of the most heart-driven, community-led studios in the country. In this episode, Lily opens up about the grit, the healing, the systems, the breakthroughs, and the brutal self-belief it took to go from teaching 10 hours a day and crying in breathwork sessions… to doubling her studio in six months and building a team that actually runs the business with her. Here’s what we’re covering: How Limber was born from rock bottom, identity loss, and a mountain of debt Why Lily refused to quit, even when everyone told her she should The wild early days: teaching 13 surf-club classes, Pilates in pubs & lugging rollers around town The moment she realised having “no systems” was costing her thousands How hiring a salesperson changed everything (and why she should’ve done it sooner) The retention system that saved 110k+ a year in churn Why contractors are killing your culture - and how she’s building a real “dream team” instead Her breakthrough moment inside Academy that stopped her from quitting How she doubled revenue & members in six months without burning out The bold mission behind Limber - and how she’s turning her healing into her life’s work … and the studio-number-two vision that will blow your mind Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your biggest takeaway.

In this video... Most studio owners want a team that’s loyal, driven, and fully aligned… but they never actually build the environment where buy-in can exist. In this episode, I sat down with my entire team - the same crew who came with me to Hawaii - and we broke down exactly how we became a unit that fights for the same mission, the same standards, and the same future. This isn’t “team culture fluff.” This is practical, operational buy-in - how to get your people to care as much as you do. Inside this episode, we cover: - Why your team won’t fight for a vision they never helped shape. - How we built a team that holds the standard - even when I’m not in the room. - Why showing your team the destination transforms their commitment overnight - We reveal the exact stories, rituals, and strategic transparency that make buy-in inevitable. - The psychology behind team alignment. - How we got the team to take the Hawaii vision personally. - The simple systems we use to keep everyone rowing in the same direction. This episode will change the way you think about leadership and team performance. If your team feels disconnected, unmotivated, or “not getting it” - this will show you why… and how to fix it.
