How an Ex-NFL Cheerleader is Building a $100M Empire ~ Ep 39 Kelly Roach

She went from NFL cheerleader to Fortune 500 exec to building multiple companies - and did it all without compromising her faith. 🙏

In this episode, Kelly Roach shares how her corporate background shaped her leadership, why hiring for values matters more than résumés, and how she scaled a business while homeschooling and prioritizing family.

We talk about building culture, letting people go the right way, and creating room for what she calls “blue-chip activities” - the things that truly matter. Most of all, we dive into how faith guides everything she does in life and business - including saying no to things that don’t align.

If you’re trying to build something big without losing yourself, this is the episode đŸŽ™ïž
