Thrive Global

And after it was acquired by AOL, she became the president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group.

She's currently the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, a tech company that helps people improve productivity and health.

She's the author of 15 books.

We'll talk about a few of them, including The Sleep Revolution, which we'll get to, and Thrive, which is really a manifesto for what she's currently doing.

So she literally cut the fit of her control top Pentios.

That simple problem became Spanx, the shapewear and apparel company she built.

And I love this story because it reminds us that you don't necessarily need a huge complicated business idea.

Sometimes you start by solving one very specific problem.

So she co-founded the Huffington Post, which became a huge digital media business.

But years later, work evolved into something very different.

Thrive Global, a company focused on well-being, burnout prevention, and healthier ways of working.

And I love this example because it's not just the business that changed.

So I'm so excited to share this episode with you.

Allie is a wealth of knowledge and just a joy to listen to.

paradoxically, I discovered that when I changed my life and started taking care of myself, my sleep, my stress, my most important relationships, I was able to be more productive, more creative, and more intuitive.

What I learned about burnout became an essential pillar of my next startup, Thrive Global.

It is a technology company that uses artificial intelligence's power of hyper-personalization to help people improve their health by creating better habits across five key daily behaviors, food,

movement, sleep, stress management, and connection.

Every turn in my life, the unexpected opportunities, the rejections, the successes, and the failures, was pointing me toward the same truth, that our strongest drive is not just toward achievement and success, but toward understanding our deepest essence and becoming who we truly are.

That is from Ariana Huffington.

She is a best-selling author, the CEO and founder of Thrive Global, and a woman I always learn something from.

Thanks to Ariana, and thanks to you all for listening and sharing, for rating and reviewing.

In 2024, I was invited to give a TEDx talk about value of spring, and my thought leadership has been featured in many publications, including Thrive Global, Fast Company, Inc., and Forbes.

I don't share this to brag, but to show you that you don't need to be loud or outspoken to get noticed.

Be remembered and create an impact.
