  • How Pvolve Is Turning Passion Into Purpose and Profit - With Julie Cartwright
    Nov 12 2025

    Julie Cartwright, President of Pvolve joins How I Turned the Corner to share how her team built a mission-based, science-backed fitness brand that empowers women as entrepreneurs and community leaders. From Jennifer Aniston’s secret workouts to building culture across franchises, Julie shows what it really takes to lead with purpose.


    Key Themes

    Hire for belief and alignment, not just skills. Passion for the mission is contagious.

    Empower local leaders to express the brand authentically. Consistency doesn’t mean uniformity.

    Culture drives profitability. The right people and environment directly impact business success.

    Purpose is a powerful recruiting tool. When people believe in what you do, hiring becomes easier.

    Hospitality creates differentiation. Emotional connection is as vital as product quality.

    Science + Story = Trust. Credible results paired with authentic purpose build lasting loyalty.

    Let go when necessary. Keeping misaligned people undermines both mission and morale.

  • Why the Old Playbook for Change Management No Longer Works — and What to Do Instead with Tim Rhode
    Oct 30 2025

    In this episode, leadership and change expert Tim Rhode joins us to explore why all progress requires change—and why so many leaders still struggle to lead it effectively. Drawing on decades of experience helping organizations navigate transformation, Tim shares practical insights on how to overcome resistance, communicate with clarity, and build a culture that embraces growth. He breaks down his simple, actionable “Changing Lanes” framework for guiding teams through change with confidence and connection. Whether you’re a manager facing organizational shifts or a leader rethinking your approach, this conversation will inspire you to see change not as a threat, but as the pathway to progress.

    Tim is offering complementary access to our listeners to his 5 Solutions to Reduce or Eliminate Resistance to Change, plus a way to follow-up with him via email at Tim@RMCMail.net

    Tim Rhode's business ventures include his current role as Managing Partner of Clear Growth Advisors – a growth advisory firm dedicated to helping owners make their businesses more profitable, twice as valuable, and easier to run - typically, in two-years or less. For more information: https://ClearGrowth.us


    Key Themes

    • All progress requires change — but most leaders still underestimate how to align people to it.
    • Modern change leadership: Top-down mandates no longer work; engagement and culture now drive success.
    • Communication truths: Context and meaning are essential — “communication is not sending; it’s understanding.”
    • Reducing resistance: Recognize effort, add purpose, and involve even the skeptics early on.
    • Culture as the foundation: Make adaptability a shared value from hiring through belonging.
    • Simple tools: Tim Rhodes “Changing Lanes” framework translates complex change models into four easy steps.
    • Mindset shift: Think like a “prompt engineer” — give your people as much clarity and context as you’d give AI.

  • Lead with Purpose! How Authenticity Boosts Collaboration & Performance - An Interview with Linnita Hosten
    Apr 1 2025

    Effective communication is essential for leaders, but balancing authority with approachability can be challenging. Many leaders inadvertently hinder open communication, leading to disengaged teams and low morale. In this episode, we chat with author, keynote speaker, and speaking coach, Linnita Hosten on how she assists leaders in overcoming these challenges by emphasizing authenticity, self-awareness, and the power of voice, fostering better collaboration and productivity.

    Key Takeaways on Understanding Power in Leadership:
    • There are two types of power for leaders: earned authority and established influence.
    • Earned authority comes from building relationships and trust, making it easier to navigate conflicts.
    • Established influence relies on a leader’s title and can lead to communication issues if empathy and connection are lacking.
