Show Up As You Are: Lessons in Business & Community with Sarah Frick Biggie Episode 51

Join Angel Holmes for an inspiring conversation with Sarah Frick, founder of The Works — Charleston, SC's most beloved boutique fitness community with six locations across the Lowcountry. This episode is packed with real talk about building a business rooted in authenticity, community over competition, and what it actually takes to scale something special without losing your soul. In This Episode You'll Discover: Why Sarah built The Works as an extension of her lifestyle — not just a business How community-first thinking turned six Charleston fitness studios into a movement The truth about "competitors are your community" and why collaboration beats competition every time How Sarah balances running six studios, raising three kids, and staying grounded Why having hard conversations face-to-face is one of the most important leadership skills How investing in your team creates a business that runs without you being everywhere at once The real estate and demographic strategy behind expanding boutique fitness in Charleston Why scalability is the hardest challenge in people-first businesses How giving back to the Charleston community — from MUSC to breast cancer fundraisers to ALS — is built into The Works' DNA The mindset shift that helped Sarah stop being held hostage by one person's performance What Sarah would tell her younger self about opening a business at 26 Why "show up as you are" isn't just a motto — it's the whole business model Whether you're a Charleston local who's been thinking about trying The Works, a female entrepreneur building a brick-and-mortar business, or a business owner learning to lead a team with heart and boundaries, this conversation delivers both inspiration and real, actionable wisdom.
