“The Rooms that Change You” with Ali Brown – Reward Podcast Episode 45
We have never been more connected online. And at the same time, many of us have never felt more isolated. Surrounded by infinite amounts of information and networks of people, it somehow all feels off kilter, impersonal, and distant. We’re truly ‘learning’ less than ever before, and connecting less on a real human level.
Ali Brown, founder of The Trust, has witnessed this evolution firsthand. After more than 20 years of serving women entrepreneurs — via everything from old-school teleseminars to online programs to live conferences — Ali shares her up-and-down journey, astute observations, and why curated, in-person rooms are becoming more essential than ever for women leaders.
You’ll hear:
• The story of the ‘gangster’ boss woman whose armor quietly fell in Ali’s room (for the better)
• How social media has created insane connection… but also a deceptive illusion
• Ali’s story of being the only one to ever cry in a 22-man mastermind (this one hit hard)
• Data on how in-person events still outperform virtual ones for trust and decision-making
• Why not all rooms are ‘safe’ for your next level of growth• What ‘Your Era of New Authority’ really means for the theme of Ali’s 2026 ICONIC conference (it’s not domination)
The room you sit in shapes the leader you become.
If you are stepping into a new chapter — personally or professionally — this conversation will challenge you to be far more selective about where you place your energy.
Ali’s ICONIC conference is returning this November to Phoenix, Arizona.
