Badass Women in Business

Welcome to The Badass Women in Business Podcast, the definitive space for unfiltered, tactical insights into female entrepreneurship, enterprise scaling, and business monetization.

Hosted by seasoned business owners, growth partners, and exit strategists Cristy O’Connor and Aggie Chydzinski, this podcast moves past passive advisory to bring you directly inside the high-stakes execution of building and successfully exiting companies on your own terms.

As hands-on growth partners who actively engineer scale and value alongside founders, we deliberately strip away the superficiality of traditional corporate highlight reels. Instead, we dissect the raw, hard-earned operational strategies and profound psychological shifts required to unlock true enterprise value.

Each week, our conversations turn systemic business obstacles into high-velocity execution plans, offering sophisticated, real-world frameworks for ambitious women who are leading teams, optimizing cash flow, and engineering highly scalable, exit-ready companies.

Whether you are in the trenches of bootstrapping an innovative startup, navigating complex partnership dynamics, or designing the ultimate monetization strategy for your life's work, this podcast provides the active strategy needed to drive valuation and claim full autonomy over your future.

What happens when a biotech executive follows a spiritual calling and decides to build a new kind of wellness app? You get SoulPod. In this conversation, Crystal Cassidy shares how her decades-long career in pharmaceutical science, combined with a lifelong meditation practice and a near-death experience, led her to create a platform at the intersection of neuroscience, spirituality, and technology. We talk about what it means to build a purpose-driven business, how she navigated the early product journey without a technical background, and why she believes the future of human development lives inside the space she calls SoulTech.

Show Notes:

In this episode, we cover:

• Crystal’s transition from genomic diagnostics and IPO-level biotech teams to building her own consumer platform
• Why SoulPod is not a traditional mindfulness app and how it’s creating space for deeper mystical and energetic experiences
• What it really took to bootstrap development, find a technical cofounder, and grow a values-aligned team
• The role of experimentation, A/B testing, and structured user interviews in refining product-market fit
• How personalization, AI, and energetic mapping are influencing SoulPod’s next wave of features
• Why staying connected to your mission matters more than following conventional startup paths
• The hard truths about fundraising as a female founder in wellness and deeper tech spaces
