HEY, WE'RE April & Amanda

Small business owners, nerds, and best friends who are teaming up to help you build your dream business.

Strive Summit is our platonic business baby. It’s a safe spot where women can come together to create a plan worth executing.

If you’re passionate as hell about your small business, then our retreat is tailor-made for you to plan an amazing 2024!

We’re all about supporting and empowering female entrepreneurs like yourself, and we believe in making this gathering an unforgettable experience to kickstart the new year with a bang!

Because the truth is, we aren’t perfect and we know how much it sucks to feel like you aren’t growing your business as fast or as far as the gurus on Instagram.

We used to make these grand plans...

…that somehow *never* happened. Our businesses weren’t growing in the ways we wanted and none of the DIY courses we bought and binged helped. 

Then one year we decided to plan together. And you know what happened?  We were able to challenge each other’s goals. We asked the hard questions like “is that realistic?” and “why the F are you charging so little?” (Yeah, it got animated!)

The end result was two plans that covered marketing, pricing, services, and everything in between. And we make that shiz happen. 

The next year we did it again, and the next

Then last year we each held separate, private 1:1 retreats with multiple business owners who wanted that supportive sounding board to guide their teams to growth.

Which made us question – how many other women are trying to grow with only the knowledge they have at hand today? We want every woman to be successful. So, we’re hosting a retreat of brilliant baddies who can help you bring the dreams you only admit to your Pinterest board – to life.

April Brown

The analytical one

April’s what we lovingly call “Type-A Crazy”. She’s a nerdy marketing strategist who used to direct the big boys in corporate. Her analytical mind can break down complicated goals and concepts into easy-as-pie strategies anyone can follow.  (Seriously, ask her what Regina George and Google have in common!) Today, she specializes in SEO, penning personality-filled copywriting, and helping entrepreneurs turn their business goals into executed marketing strategies. Tell her your vision, and she’ll tell you how to make it happen.

Amanda Laurence

The Creative One

Amanda’s the dreamer. She’s a visionary UX designer and course strategist who knows exactly what’s going to turn your ideal client’s eye. After a decade of traveling the globe for her day job, she traded her airline points for pj’s – taking the scary leap into solopreneurship. (And we’re so glad she did!)  She’s a sharpshooter with a sharpie and is the designer behind some of the most successful coaches in the biz. Today she specialized in brand strategy, course creation, and course funnels. Give her your mood board and get ready to cry *happy tears* at seeing the branded baddie you always knew you could be.
