  • 36 Life Lessons on my 36th Birthday with Lynzie Smith
    2024/09/13

     Welcome back to Common Wealth Conversations. I'm your host, Lynzie Smith.

    I recently turned 36 and I'm really excited to come into this space and share a bit more of my own vulnerability and my heart as I continue through my own entrepreneurial journey. In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I wanted to reflect on 36 life lessons that I've learned over this last year.

    I've had another immense year of growth, and at times it’s felt like change has been coming at me from all vantage points! I feel like my growth has rippled through most of my relationships in my personal and professional life, including my most important relationship with myself. I’ve been pivoting and evolving continuously, and I’m focused on supporting like-minded female entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs through my own experiences. My hope and intention is to connect with those of you who see yourselves in my journey.

    If you’re listening to this episode and it feels a bit too on the personal side for you, I’ve also redirected these 36 life lessons into business-related insights on my LinkedIn. Check out my LinkedIn profile!

  • From Crisis to Clarity with Ben Mollin
    2024/09/06
    As entrepreneurs, we often face challenges that test us both personally and professionally. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of embracing change and finding new paths. I am thrilled to have Ben Mollin on the show today. He’s a celebrity hairdresser turned endurance athlete, who, in his words, "killed his career instead of himself," and is now a ‘California sober’ ultra-runner focused on suicide prevention. His story is so powerful, it is going to resonate with you in so many ways. Ben's story is the definition of resilience and reinvention and honestly as an entrepreneur myself, I've already learned so much from him. Today's conversation is deep. As a trigger warning, we're talking about loss, mental health, suicide prevention and survival. Trust me when I say that Ben's honesty and vulnerability will move you. I am rarely in tears on this podcast, Ben's ability to tell his story is next level. He's the first to share that sometimes stepping away is exactly what we need to open up new doors in our lives. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben last year at Beauty Gives Back (shout out to BGB!) and our conversations really stuck with me. I’m so excited to give him a big hug at the upcoming Beauty Gives Back event hosted on Sunday, September 15th, just outside of Chicago. If you’re in the Midwest, there’s still time to grab a ticket, grab yours now! If you’re attending, I’d love to meet you in person—please say hi if you spot me! For those unable to attend in person, click here to follow Beauty Gives Back on social media to follow along virtually through IG Stories and stay connected for information on future events.

  • Trusting the Transition In a Career Pivot with Maila Snow
    2024/08/09
    Have you ever felt the urge to pivot in your career but weren’t sure if you were making the right choice? In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, Maila Snow is here to share her journey of transition. Maila began her career with a childhood dream of becoming a hairstylist—a dream she pursued passionately for 14 years. But after having her son, Maila’s path took a significant turn. She transitioned from being behind the chair to supporting other hair stylists as a Virtual Assistant. While she quickly booked new clients as a VA, she realized her true passion came from the connection calls she’d host with the busy entrepreneurs she was supporting. So many were overwhelmed and burnt out, Maila would hold space for their frustrations week after week. After some time, she decided to double down and seek out certifications to become a facilitator in meditation and breathwork. In this episode, we’ll dive into Maila's intention behind shifting from a career as a hairstylist to life coaching, the themes she observed in mindset work, and the impactful practices she’s encouraged her clients to embrace as busy entrepreneurs. If you’re seeking inspiration for your own career pivot or looking for signs that it’s time for a change, Maila’s sharing her own experiences of transition, how she recognized when she was ready for change, and the cues she looked for to find her purpose. If you’re a service-based entrepreneur looking for guidance, consider applying to our next round of the Common Wealth ‘Peer to Peer’ cohort program. In this program, I focus on networking and relationship building with dream clients, like-minded pros, and aligned brands providing you with the support you need to develop new revenue streams.
