923: The Lean-In Circle That Changed Everything (And How to Start Your Own)
The Goal Digger Podcast | Top Business and Marketing Podcast for Creatives, Entrepreneurs, and Women in BusinessShow Notes
Ever bought something you loved so much, you had to tell your friends about it? What if your entire business could be built around that kind of energy; where your customers don’t just shop, they stick around, support one another, and become your brand’s loudest cheerleaders?
That’s exactly what Bianca Gates has done as the founder and president of Birdies, the stylish-yet-comfy footwear brand that’s built a cult following. What started in Bianca’s living room has grown into a brand loved by women everywhere… not just because of the product, but because of the feeling it gives you. Connection. Confidence. Community.
In this conversation, we’re talking about the real story behind Birdies’ growth. How Bianca built a community-first brand from day one, how authentic storytelling shaped Birdies’ success, and how you can apply her approach to your own business—even if you’re starting from scratch or feel like you’re late to the game.
So if you’ve ever wondered how to rally people around your product and create a movement, not just a moment, this episode is for you.

Drew's back on the mic after a few years, and honestly, I wasn't sure what this conversation would uncover. We've been married for fourteen years, together for half of our lives, and we're standing at this threshold where both girls are finally in school full-time and we're asking ourselves: what do we actually want now?
Becoming an entrepreneur is the most expensive personal development program you will ever pay for, and I'm not even talking about the money. I'm talking about the version of yourself that you have to let die: the people pleaser who waits for permission, the woman who apologizes before she speaks, that part of you who thinks staying ahead of everything will finally make you safe.
Anna Malaika Tubbs is a two-time New York Times bestselling author and a leading voice in gender, race, and equity. Her newest book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us is a wake-up call, one that challenges us to rethink everything from who gets remembered to who gets rewarded.
