In this episode of The Business Method Podcast, host Chris Reynolds sits down with entrepreneur and CEO Angelica, who shares the remarkable story of stepping into leadership when her family’s company was on the verge of collapse and turning it into a billion-dollar turnaround.Angelica opens up about saying yes to the scariest opportunity of her career: becoming CEO of OmniLife and Chivas at a time when the company was nearing bankruptcy. Faced with enormous pressure, she restructured leadership, rebuilt operations and supply chains, unified branding across international markets, and made difficult decisions including layoffs while implementing a bold people-first culture.Throughout the conversation, Angelica reveals how fear can actually be a powerful signal for growth and why she encourages entrepreneurs, especially women to take action even when they feel afraid. She also shares her early experiences working in her family’s energy business, the discrimination she faced as a woman in leadership, and the inner work that helped her build resilience, confidence, and clarity.Beyond business, Angelica introduces NOWFUL, her wellness system designed to help people reconnect with themselves through simple daily rituals. The system includes AI-powered affirmation cards, a mushroom complex, anchoring oils, magnesium sleep cream, and a 30-day challenge focused on breathing, gratitude, and positive habits.This episode is a powerful conversation about leadership, resilience, fear, wellness, and the mindset required to rebuild companies and transform lives. 🎧 Episode Highlights: 00:00 Fear Fuels Action03:11 Meet Angelica’s Resume04:15 The Scariest Yes04:57 Turning Bankruptcy Around06:06 Fear vs Failure Mindset06:49 OmniLife and Chivas Explained07:38 Chapter One Restructure Leadership08:45 Chapter Two Fix Operations10:56 People First Policies12:41 Hard Layoffs and Backlash15:30 Public Scrutiny as a Woman17:08 The Inner Void and Self Worth18:02 Early Work and Discrimination19:19 Earning the CEO Seat22:35 Women Leaders Build Differently24:46 Inner Confidence Built25:28 Leading in Male Spaces26:40 Cooperation Beats Ego27:33 Advice to Women Founders28:09 Real Power Within28:38 Why Mouthful Exists29:12 Wellness as Superpower30:31 Mouthful System Overview31:04 AI Affirmation Cards32:22 Mushrooms Oil Magnesium34:31 Daily Wellness Habits35:55 Workout and Lemon Water37:02 Rapid Fire Questions37:46 Rest and Burnout Lessons39:52 30 Day Reconnect Challenge41:03 B2B Partnerships and Culture42:20 Core Values in Cards43:39 Final Message and Farewell   Connect with Angelica Website: https://angelicafuentes.com/NOWFUL: https://nowful.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/angelicafuentes63/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelica-fuentesX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/angelicafuentes    Subscribe to The Business Method Podcast  Website: https://www.thebusinessmethod.com/ Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/TheBusinessMethod Spotify: http://bit.ly/SpotifyTheBusinessMethod  Follow Chris Reynolds:Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn — @chrisreynoldslive https://linktr.ee/ChrisReynoldsLive
