Episode Details

Chantell Preston has spent more than 25 years building, scaling, and transforming businesses in healthcare. After leaving the corporate world and building her own successful career, she became passionate about empowering women to redefine success on their own terms. She is the author of The Success Lie: Reframing Your Reality to Thrive Personally and Professionally and recently invested in women’s professional sports by purchasing a women’s professional volleyball team in San Francisco. In this episode, Chantell shares how betting on herself, building the right network, and becoming intentional with her time helped her create a career—and life—that actually feels fulfilling.

On this episode we talk about:

• Why who you know can be more valuable than what you know—and how to build meaningful relationships

• Chantell’s decision to leave the corporate world and build her own healthcare business

• The pressure women face to be “perfect” and how to redefine success on your own terms

• How saying yes to everything can actually prevent you from reaching your goals

• Balancing entrepreneurship, purpose, and family without sacrificing the things that matter most

• Why failure and setbacks can become some of your greatest opportunities

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Bet on yourself and figure things out along the way. You don't have to know everything before taking an opportunity. Sometimes you simply need to put yourself in the right room and trust that you can learn what you need to know.

2. Define success for yourself. Money and titles can be great goals, but achieving them doesn't necessarily mean you'll feel fulfilled. Get intentional about what success actually means to you and where you want to spend your time.

3. Focus on quality over quantity with your time. Whether it's your career, relationships, or family, being intentional and emotionally present can matter far more than simply being physically present.

Notable Quotes
