I’m Ashleigh Malangone, wife and mom of four; creator, self-proclaimed eternal entrepreneur and founder of Blaise. This podcast was born to share my own multi-passionate journey through entrepreneurship. Sharing the knowledge I’ve gained along the way, while giving insight into navigating the highs, the lows, the pivots, the breakthroughs and especially how all of that intersects with my experience in the creator economy. As a creator, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful influence can be; how a recommendation, a story, or a moment shared online, can move real people to take real action in the real world. But I also saw a massive gap…especially for creators and brick-and-mortar businesses, who were driving real results with no clear way to measure or monetize that impact. That gap is what led me to build Blaise — Blaise is a first-to-market web and mobile influencer marketing platform connecting local creators and storefront businesses, using QR code tracking and POS integration, while delivering advanced ROI + customer acquisition analytics. For the first time in marketing history. On this podcast, I interview some of my favorite entrepreneurs who share their invaluable knowledge and professional advice with you. Additionally, in my Blaise Spotlight Series, I sit down with Blaise creators and business owners, who are building incredible legacies. They share their expertise, their stories, and their vision. It’s my mission to provide inspirational entrepreneurs with an additional platform to be seen, heard, and celebrated; because entrepreneurship isn’t linear and the creator economy is constantly evolving. The most powerful businesses are built when creativity, strategy, and alignment come together. And never forget, we rise together.
