Listen "No Resume Needed: Lindsey McFadden, CMO of Stretch Zone, on Leadership, Growth & Letting Your Work Speak"
Episode Synopsis
What if your work spoke so loudly… you never needed a resume again?
In this episode of Marketing Your Way, I’m joined by Lindsey McFadden, Chief Marketing Officer at Stretch Zone, one of the fastest-growing wellness franchises in the U.S. with over 400 locations and zero closures. Lindsey’s journey from agency life to CMO is filled with powerful lessons on leadership, relationship-building, and redefining work-life balance as a high-performing marketing executive and mom of two.
We talk about:
· The shift from consultant to in-house CMO
· Why “doing what you say you’re going to do” is an underrated career strategy
· Leading an all-female marketing team in a male-dominated industry
· The myth of work-life balance and what it actually looks like in practice
· Why Stretch Zone focuses on human connection and “interact before you transact”
Whether you’re dreaming of the CMO seat or carving your own path as a creative leader, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to own your value and trust the work.
