225. How Sadie Lincoln Started a Global Fitness Empire, Barre3
Leadership is Female
04/15/25 • 38 min
Sadie's story will inspire you to dream big, work hard, and never give up on your passions.
- CEO/Founder Piece: Disenfranchised with the classic, 9-5 capitalistic world, she wanted out. Her and her husband sold their house and with those savings started the first barre3 location in Portland. The brand now has 207 studios (all female owned with no outside investment!).
- Community: Sadie also created the class as she was noticing the loneliness epidemic hitting American families (especially women) hard. She felt it was hard to find a community, and wanted to create a space where women could connect, feel seen and ensure they never feel alone.
- Motherhood: barre3 has a dedicated PLAYCENTER where mothers can drop off their kids to safely play under supervision while they workout. Sadie identified the importance of allowing mothers to take a break, and wanted to ensure she could make working out an easy thing. She recalls a crying baby and crying mother coming into class once - Sadie took the baby and proceeded to start class WHILE holding the baby.
- Fitness: The importance of incorporating mindfulness into your movement practice for a successful workout and the Why behind this
Sadie Lincoln is the co-founder and CEO of barre3, a fitness and wellness company focused on teaching people to be balanced in body and empowered from within. Starting in 2008 with the flagship studio in Portland, Oregon, barre3 has grown to include more than 207 franchise studios powered by female entrepreneurs, plus an online-workout streaming-subscriber base in 100+ countries. What started as a workout has blossomed into a full-blown movement made up of millions of people focused on body positivity, being empowered, and redefining what success in fitness means. Sadie is on the Forbes 50 over 50 list, Inc.'s Female Founders 100 list, the MO100 Impact list, has won EY Entrepreneur of the Year Mountain West and speaks regularly on the topics of mindful leadership, the power of body wisdom, and the movement to redefine what success in fitness means. Beyond running her company and being a global spokesperson, Sadie still enjoys teaching barre3 classes to many of her founding clients in her hometown of Portland, Oregon.

Leadership is Female
09/28/20 • 46 min
As President and CMO of FanCompass, a San Francisco-based sports technology company, Lisa Fahey is a strategic leader who brings classic experience in consumer packaged goods to the business of sport. In addition to rebranding FanCompass in 2016 and driving the company’s international growth and expansion, Lisa became President of the organization in 2018. Prior to FanCompass, Lisa held leadership roles with Kraft Foods, Pepsico and pre-acquisition growth company Annie’s. She has extensive background building brands to drive profitable growth and has led FanCompass to expand its product offering and increase its premier roster of professional clubs including Liverpool FC, the Cleveland Browns, Syracuse University and most recently the league-level relationships with MiLB and MLB . A graduate of Indiana University, Bloomington, Lisa received an M.B.A. from the D’Amore McKim School of Business at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
Top 4 Takeaways:
- Lisa’s career started after she got her MBA. The MBA curriculum differed dramatically from undergrad. She went from learning about a topic to diving into the deep end of research and business practices. Hyper focused to teach critical thinking skills. For Lisa, an MBA was the key to moving into the career she wanted.
- Your career is a stack of building blocks. Each block represents a skill acquired or a project completed. Look at your role and ask yourself, which building blocks will I acquire from this position. Work on the blocks, name the blocks, and promote your blocks. A boss or leader can put you in the right role but no one can guide your career as much as you.
- On balancing family and career, Lisa took a break from the work force to focus on her family and successfully re entered the workforce at the same level. You can too. Don’t focus on the gap. Focus on what you contributed in the past and what you can bring in the future.
- On how to level up, be true to yourself, be authentic, and take ownership and all you have done. Where do the dots of the best accomplishments of your career align? Hone in on those areas and take them to the next level.
