    How It's a 10 Founder Carolyn Aronson went from a $500K Loss to 11M Bottles Sold
    Jul 10 2025
    Carolyn Aronson had a successful salon, a steady career, and every reason to stay comfortable. But something inside her said this isn’t enough. In this powerful segment, the founder of It’s a 10 Haircare opens up about what made her walk away from stability, risk it all, and build a product that now sells over 11 million bottles a year. She shares how failure became fuel, how purpose drives every product, and why she believes success is only possible if you’re willing to lay it all on the line. This clip is for anyone stuck at “good” when they’re meant for “great.” GUEST RESOURCES Carolyn Aronson IG | itsa10ceo RESOURCES Shannon Allen Grown Website | https://www.grown.org/ IG | @swalkerwil 🌱 Stay Connected & Explore More 🔗 Visit the Grown Website Grown.org 📲 Follow Shannon on Instagram @swalkerwil 🎧 Like, Share & Subscribe If this episode moved you, inspired you, or made you think, don’t keep it to yourself!

  • 10: How Female Mentorship & Motherhood Shaped Media Mogul Jessica Hurley

    10: How Female Mentorship & Motherhood Shaped Media Mogul Jessica Hurley
    Jul 8 2025
    Jessica Hurley didn’t set out to build a media company. She just said yes to one woman who saw something in her before she could see it in herself. That woman’s belief - her mentorship, her sacrifice, her fierce accountability - lit the match that changed everything. But it wasn’t until Jessica gave birth to her son Cameron, 15 weeks early, in the fight of both their lives, that she found her fire. What followed was a breakdown, a rebirth, and a promise: if she could bring her son home, she’d spend the rest of her life showing him why he was born. This episode is about what happens when a woman says yes to you, when your child becomes your why, and when you realize that nothing can stop a grown ass woman on a mission.

Hopelessness does, and it's the loneliness that hurts us.” – Jessica Hurley “The darkness is the waiting room. The invitation is to step outside. You can stop the lack of belief. You can stop the fear. You can stop the insecurity. You can stop the silence. You can stop the thing. And the choice is yours.” – Jessica Hurley “You cannot live one way by day and another by night and expect results.” – Jessica Hurley “God's vision is bigger than anything that we can conceptualize. He's just waiting for our Yes.” – Jessica Hurley GUEST RESOURCES Jessica Hurley IG | @jessicahurley__ Website | www.epyc.co RESOURCES Shannon Allen Grown Website | https://www.grown.org/ IG | @swalkerwil 🌱 Stay Connected & Explore More 🔗 Visit the Grown Website Grown.org 📲 Follow Shannon on Instagram @swalkerwil 🎧 Like, Share & Subscribe If this episode moved you, inspired you, or made you think, don’t keep it to yourself!

    Jul 3 2025
    Shannon sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Denise Woodard, founder and CEO of Partake Foods—a company born from her daughter's food allergies and fueled by a mission of inclusivity, accessibility, and pure hustle. Denise shares the real story of how she started out pitching cookies from the back of her SUV. She gets honest about what it really takes to build something from scratch as a mom, a woman, and a first-time founder. They talk about what it means to be the face of your brand, the role of storytelling in entrepreneurship, and how family and community made all the difference. This conversation is an inside look at what resilience, leadership, and purpose look like when you’re building something bigger than yourself.
