Jen’s life: where she came from and what she’s doing now Self-promotion as a duty to yourself and others The Badass List: how to beat imposter syndromeResources:
Jen’s website Super Connector Media Follow Jen: @jen_gottlieb Follow Alli: @alliwebb Follow Lori: @loriharder Follow Brittany: @britdriscShow Notes:
Jen Gottlieb is the manifestation queen. She’s created an amazing life and wants to help all of you do it, too. But as we know, everyone pushing themselves to do new, better things runs into the dreaded imposter syndrome sooner or later. Luckily for us, Jen shares exactly how to get rid of it.
Question Highlights:
Tell me how you got here. Does self-promotion have to be a bad thing? What is The Badass List? How did you manifest the friendship circle you have now?Guest Bio:
When Jen was 10 years old, she had a moment that she’ll never forget. She was performing on stage, singing “Tomorrow” from Annie. When she stopped, the audience applauded and she remembers saying to herself, “This is exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life.”
So she did just that. She moved to NYC, studied musical theater, toured on Broadway, and hosted 14 seasons of a TV show. And then she found a new passion.
Now she does PR: helping you get in Money Magazine, Oprah.com, on stage at that major event – whatever you need to be seen to bring in the boatload of high-ticket leads and the street cred that makes you #1 in your industry. She found her life’s work: helping entrepreneurs like you go from FOMO to famous.

A few years ago, Helaine Knapp was just like any girl in her 20s living it up in New York City, blending a high-powered job in tech with high-intensity group workout sessions. After a back injury brought her to a complete standstill, she found herself scrambling for a low-impact workout. She found rowing, and the seed for her next venture, CityRow Go, was planted.
In this inspiring episode, Helaine connects with Brit on the trials and triumphs of running her own business, and the brutal and beautiful lessons she’s learned along the way, from the moment she knew she could make rowing sexy, to the emotionally draining fund-raising process, and why it’s so important to surround yourself with badass women who will always have your back. Take our word for it: Helaine’s jet-fueled success and boundless energy is going to have you running to the nearest CityRow studio.
Question Highlights:
What’s your career backstory and how did you start rowing? How did CityRow become CityRow? How do you work through insecurities? How did the last year impact CityRow?Guest Bio:
Founder & CEO of CityRow Go. After spending years climbing the corporate ladder, Helaine Knapp left the world of publishing for tech start-up life. Group fitness was her outlet while working hard and taking on the hustle and bustle of New York City. However, months of spin and boot camp classes left her with a lower back injury, and she began searching for a workout that was low impact, but super effective. After a friend suggested rowing, Helaine initially rejected it as something “my dad did in college,” but following a few workouts on a sexy machine, and pairing it with total body sculpting moves, her mind was changed and the concept for CITYROW was born. With a mission of delivering a smart, fun, effective workout to all fitness levels, under Knapp’s leadership, CityRow has grown from one studio in New York City to a national, omnichannel fitness brand with 12 open studios and 65 franchises sold nationwide along with a top-ranked, on-demand, global program featuring at-home rowers and a fast-growing digital subscription business. Knapp has yet to row on the water and has been featured as a business leader and a wellness expert on TODAY, Women’s Health, ABC, Harper’s Bazaar, Shape, Well + Good, Vogue, Yahoo! Finance, and PEOPLE, among many others.
