In this episode, Lindsay Junk, President of YogaSix, shares the mindset principles that fuel one of the fastest-growing yoga brands in the U.S. With over 200 locations and counting, she doesn’t just talk about strategy, she leads with psychology, resilience, and practical leadership tools. Whether you’re growing a fitness brand or leading a team through chaos, her insights are gold.
Your Mind Believes First – Then You Win
Lindsay’s journey started with her dad “tricking” her into believing she was faster than she was. And it worked! That mindset shift carried her from high school track to Ironman competitions, and eventually into business leadership. Belief is the baseline for performance.
Yes, You Can Coach a Winning Mindset
Mindset isn’t just natural, it’s coachable. Lindsay shares how she actively works to instill confidence in both franchisees and her internal team, helping them believe they belong at the table even when they’re brand new or unsure.
Turn Problems Into Playgrounds for Growth
Faced with never-before-seen problems, Lindsay’s go-to approach is brainstorming without limits. Her mantra: no bad ideas. The key isn’t perfection, its movement. Inaction, she says, is the real killer of businesses.
The Hard Stuff Comes First, Then You Celebrate
Her daily routine? Workout first, handle the tough tasks early, and finish the day with energizing work she loves. It’s a powerful lesson in structuring your day to keep momentum and avoid burnout.
Adversity Reveals Leaders – Not Resumes
Lindsay doesn’t rely on traditional interviews or background checks to pick winners. She looks for how people handle setbacks, and how fast they recover. Same problems, same market, different outcomes, all based on mindset.
