She Had A Vision

This podcast is a community for women who are current or aspiring entrepreneurs or visionaries because they will hear from real, everyday female small business owners, rather than celebrities or big brands on what it really means to start and grow a business. Each episode focuses on the lessons learned on owning a small business, so one can feel better equipped with the resources and information on how to take that first scary step into launching a business, growing it and maintaining its value for years to come. Starting your own business takes grit, but also an insane amount of courage. So for the listeners if you are dreaming about your small business while currently working your day job, I hope my series of interviews will make your dream become a reality. Let's explore these amazing stories how these women had a vision and made things happen.

New York, NY: the ness - Colette Dong and Aly Giampolo

November 21, 2021 • Mary Scott Jameson

Aly Giampolo and Colette Dong are the co-founders of the ness, a low-impact and high intensity trampoline cardio and sculpt workout studio in New York City that has also gone digital. Both Aly and Colette were professional dancers and met in New York. They launched a private training service together and discovered the trampoline was the perfect tool that embodies their dance and ballet training that includes choreography with a killer sweat! Colette and Aly curated a beautiful fitness brand that brings back the joy in movement. Some of the takeaways from the episode is that Aly and Colette learned that they were trying to take on everything in the beginning but now have learned to set boundaries, speak up for themselves and trust their gut. They emphasize that being an entrepreneur means you have to be willing to be uncomfortable and push yourself.
