Designed to GlideWell
Designed to GlideWell is a podcast about building a life—and business—by design.
Hosted by husband-and-wife duo Sarah and Ethan Glidewell, this show takes you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to build wealth and freedom through unconventional paths. From buying and building businesses to investing in and designing high-performing vacation rentals, they share the strategies, lessons, and mindset shifts that have shaped their journey.
But this isn’t just about business—it’s about intention.
Each episode explores how to create a life that feels as good as it looks, whether that’s through thoughtful design, smart investments, or redefining what success can be beyond the traditional 9–5. Along the way, they sit down with founders, investors, and creatives who are carving out their own paths through unique opportunities and alternative ways of living.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s more than the default path—this is your invitation to build it.
