What happens when a young bride’s frustrating shopping experience turns into a nationally acclaimed business—and then evolves into a global coaching platform? In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, AJ sits down with Mindi Linscombe, co-founder of Something New Bridal and bridal business coach, to unpack the 18-year journey of building not one, but two thriving businesses from the ground up.
Mindi reveals the sacrifices behind her early years of entrepreneurship—working seven days a week, not paying herself for three years, and risking it all on a $100K home equity loan. But she also shares the rewards: becoming an industry leader, serving thousands of brides, and now coaching hundreds of bridal shop owners worldwide.
You’ll hear how Mindi used her personal brand—not as an influencer or speaker—but as a way to scale trust, serve her community, and grow her business authentically. Whether you're in retail, consulting, or coaching, this episode is a masterclass on evolving your brand, staying true to your mission, and stepping into industry leadership.
