Tanya Alvarez, Team, Coaching, and Data: The Winning Combination for Growth - Innova.Buzz 581

Our guest in this episode is Tanya Alvarez, co-founder of OwnersUp. Tanya grew her first company, Blink Ads, to over 1 million within the first year at the age of 25, but she found herself overwhelmed and stressed as a young, female, and minority entrepreneur. She realized the lack of resources and support available for entrepreneurs and decided to apply the training and support system from her marathon running days to the business world. She created a team-based program that uses qualitative and quantitative data to identify blind spots and drive growth for entrepreneurs, allowing them to achieve their goals faster and with less weight on their shoulders.

From turning a startup into a million-dollar success to championing diversity in entrepreneurship, Tanya shares her insights on building supportive communities, harnessing data for growth, and finding motivation in unexpected places. The three key points we covered in our conversation:

• Harnessing the power of support and data together to improve performance, just like endurance athletes do;
• The motivational magic of accountability, that can push us beyond our limits to new heights;
• The RAP method (Reflect, Assess, Prioritize) to unlock our true potential and achieve more by working less.

David Shriner-Cahn, who was our guest on Episode 276 introduced us to Tanya.
