What happens when a musician, software developer, and hobby boxer loses their job — and ends up owning a gym?This episode dives deep with Alex Carter, the new owner of Cappy’s Boxing Gym in Seattle, WA — a truly one-of-a-kind gym blending community, diversity, music, creativity, and inclusivity.
Alex shares the raw and real story of how she went from working a remote dev job (that laid her off with zero notice) to running a full-blown business — all while juggling her identity as a musician, coach, and community builder.
