What do handstands and entrepreneurship have in common? More than I realized.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Fennell-Cooper, owner of Happy Gym in Denver and founder of Preschool Coaches League, to talk about what building strong foundations really looks like — in movement, business, leadership, and growth.

We talk about:

• Why the foundations you build early matter more than you think
• The reality of niching down and setting boundaries in business
• What happens when your business suddenly depends fully on you
• The difference between running an online business vs. a brick-and-mortar business
• Building community and customer experience intentionally
• Diversifying offers without losing your identity
• Delegation, systems, hiring, and scaling
• Why saying “no” is one of the most important entrepreneurial skills

This conversation is honest, funny, practical, and full of the kinds of lessons you only learn by actually building something.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should diversify, niche down, scale, simplify, or completely reinvent what you’re doing — this one’s for you.
