Giana Cambria's path started far from a fitness studio, having moved 24 times as a kid in a military family, but it was her time at Orangetheory that set her entrepreneurial career in motion. She joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to talk through that journey, from front desk to coach to building a business of her own.
The conversation moves quickly from her Orangetheory roots into the mechanics of visibility and growth — how consistent video content, podcast appearances, and a mix of organic and paid marketing came together to build credibility for her business.
