Episode Synopsis

Lindsay Rowe, founder of Ace Factory in Michigan, a mother of seven and a Marine Corps veteran spouse, saw a gap: families driving hours for indoor training, athletes missing opportunities because of cost, and kids needing positive spaces to belong.So she built it herself.We dive deep into:​The night their 1906 farmhouse burned down and how her family escaped by jumping from second-story windows​Living in a single-wide trailer for over 300 days while rebuilding on the same land​The community support that changed everything—and learning to receive help after years of being the helper​Why she opened Ace Factory: making elite training accessible regardless of financial situation​Her partnership with Fundraising University to help teams fund athletes with financial support​The "no problems, only solutions" mindset that carried them through the darkest times​How her athletic background shaped her resilience and approach to adversityLindsay's mission is simple but powerful: money should never be the reason a kid can't access quality training. From the Strong Moms Club to youth strength and conditioning programs, Ace Factory is more than a gym—it's a community hub where athletes, families, and coaches come together.This conversation will remind you that resilience isn't about bouncing back to who you were before. It's about using what you've been through to build something even better.Connect with Ace Factory:Instagram & Facebook: @acefactoryofficialInstagram & Facebook: @rusticmarineLocation: Kensington Valley Outlets, Howell, Michigan
