Summary
In this episode, we sit down with Eliza Shirazi — founder of Kick It and The Fempire® — to unpack how she turned a college passion project into an award-winning, nationally recognized fitness brand. Eliza shares the early vision behind Kick It, the turning points that shaped her growth (including her game-changing New Balance partnership), how she built a nationally accredited certification, and the intentional community-building strategies that keep her movement so powerful today. We dive into virtual fitness, entrepreneurship, brand identity, and what it truly means to create a “fempire” built on empowerment, connection, and impact. Enjoy!
