It is HERE!

In our very first episode of Your Studio Podcast, Chantelle Bruinsma and Michelle Hunter, the powerhouse duo behind Studio Evolution, jump in with all the energy and charm you'd expect from two best friends who also happen to be business partners. These ladies, who lovingly refer to each other as "work wifeys," are here to share their journey and help studio owners reach their dreams.

Chantelle and Michelle kick things off with a fun game of "How well do you know me?" It's packed with laughs as they quiz each other on everything from Michelle's love for trashy reality TV to Chantelle's favourite getaway spot (spoiler: think "Aloha"). Their playful banter and genuine affection for each other shine through, making it clear these two have a bond that's as strong as their business acumen.

You will be treated to the story of how Studio Evolution came to be and the serendipitous way Michelle joined the team. Michelle’s determination to land a job that had already been filled is both ballsy and endearing, showing just how meant-to-be this partnership was. Chantelle also shares her entrepreneurial beginnings with Born to Perform, recounting how she went from a struggling startup to a business so smooth she could run it from a payphone in Turkey!

With lighthearted reminiscing and a deep passion for helping other studio owners, Chantelle and Michelle set the stage for a podcast that's both inspiring and entertaining. Join us for a journey full of laughs, lessons, and a lot of heart.
