From "grants to gains"—in this episode, we sit down with the Margaret Egiziaco to discuss leadership, legacy, and the art of the pivot! Before disrupting the fitness industry, Margaret navigated high-stakes government recovery. As Director of the Small Business Recovery Program following Superstorm Sandy, she spearheaded the distribution of $55M in federal HUD-DR funding to New York’s small businesses—proving that impact requires both strategic urgency and a whole lot of heart. Today, she’s channeling that same mission-driven energy into a new frontier: building a fitness community designed specifically for moms! ‍‍️‍️

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Bold Pivot: Moving from government leadership to entrepreneurial grit.
• Pressure-Tested Leadership: Lessons learned from managing multi-million dollar disaster recoveries.
• Purpose-Built Spaces: Why moms deserve a fitness environment that integrates, rather than excludes, their reality.
