254: What it really takes to grow your business at each phase, holding your vision while listening to your customers and living The Balanced Life with Robin Long

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love when I get to interview my friends on the podcast and my guest today is kind of a new friend but it feels like we’ve known each other for a long time. It’s been so incredible getting to know her and learning about what she’s up to in the world because it has truly shown me what’s possible. In our conversation today she shares how she went from being a pilates instructor to running an online pilates membership of over 25,000 members while being a mom to 4 tiny humans at the same time. I know you’ll find so much value in this conversation no matter what level you’re at in business.  </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robin Long lives and works in sunny Santa Barbara, CA.
