Instead of being asked “What do you do?” they will say, “I have been following your work.”

20+ years. 9 businesses started. 5 exits. 3 business partners. 1000s of businesses coached.

I’ve worked with all sizes of businesses, from Start-ups up to a $7 billion dollar company, from international to local, spanning all types of industries.

1998: Rising Up

Ranking in the top 2% of my high school class and #2 nationally on my soccer team, I received a full-ride to Arizona State University and double-majored while working as a marketing intern.

By the age of 24, I had risen through the ranks, navigating age and gender biases and became Head of Marketing, as the company increased revenue by 3000% over 5 years: and ranked on the INC 100 List.

💡Bottom Line: Excellence isn't just about achievements... it's about learning to navigate systems while staying true to your inner compass.

Paper Airplane

2001: The Leading Lady

I had the honor of serving as the Communication Chairperson on the ASU Alumni Board of Directors, eventually joining the Executive Leadership Team for several years. Additionally, I contributed my skills to another Board of Directors within the American Marketing Association.

💡Bottom Line: Leadership is claimed through showing up consistently and adding value before you're asked.

Clipboard

2003: Head of Marketing

I moved to a new position as Head of Marketing of a $200MM firm and worked with a lot of Fortune 500 brands. I spearheaded a pilot project for a brand that generated $15MM in 9 months, surpassing all goals.

💡Bottom Line: Even with all of the success and a VP level position, I realized my work/life balance was off, the culture was toxic, and I needed a change. I listened when my intuition said "there's more."

Moving Box

2004: Started My First Business

I took a leap of faith and left my corporate job behind, and started my marketing and branding consultancy, VIBE TRIBE INTERACTIVE, which went on to help thousands of clients sell more than $3 Billion dollars of products & services during 21 years of operation.

💡Bottom Line: Sometimes the biggest risk is not taking one.

Marketing

2004: Bought Our First Business

Meanwhile, my husband bought his first business and I helped him with marketing. He turned discarded Pepsi machines into gold... literally. He refurbished and flipped machines while running local routes. We also hired our first business coach which taught us about how to be involved in each other's business without overstepping.

💡Bottom Line: Sometimes your first business isn't your forever business, but it teaches you forever lessons about seeing value where others don't.

Vending

2005: Mix Master Mind

Created custom mixes for dance and cheer teams nationwide. SEO game was strong, pulling in clients from coast to coast. Turned passion for music into a profitable pivot.

💡Bottom Line: When you blend what lights you up with what others need, marketing becomes effortless.

DJ Mix

2006: Fashion Forward

I started a "for purpose, for profit" fashion company with a business partner. While we had a lot of hype around the collection, tons of sales, tens of thousands people on email, and a new movement and subculture, the cash needed to fuel growth was too high. A tough lesson!

💡Bottom Line: Not every "successful" venture is sustainable. Sometimes the best exit strategy is knowing when to let go.

Swatches

2008: Wrapped in Wisdom

Launched an online body wrap business that scaled through SEO and PPC. Four years of riding the wellness wave taught me that timing and trend-spotting are everything.

💡Bottom Line: Digital marketing is about being in the right place when the market is ready for what you've got.

Spa Wrap

2008: Team Work Makes the Dream Work

I asked my husband, RJ, to work with me in my branding and marketing consultancy, VIBE TRIBE INTERACTIVE. He had just sold his business, and we worked together for 12 years until just after the birth of our children. We’re celebrating 23 years together in 2025.

💡Bottom Line: The right partnership multiplies more than just revenue. It truly multiplies possibilities.

Christie & RJ

2010: Upwardly Mobile

We had yet another creative itch to start another company: this time in the digital scrapbooking industry. We had awesome SEO and people loved our designs. With the rise of mobile apps for scrapbooking and also Instagram, the market changed substantially. Rather than making a large investment in developing a mobile app, we closed the business while we were still "ahead."

💡Bottom Line: Market timing is everything. This experience taught me that although quitters don't win, winners sometimes quit (and that's still winning).

Phone

2012: Hear Both Sides

Partnering with a tech company with over 100 franchisees, my husband and I developed a direct mail campaign with a surprise ingredient: empathy. This empathetic campaign outperformed other controls with an astounding 30:1 ROI and attracted record-breaking numbers of new customers, franchisees and employees for years after. And 10 years later, no one has beat the results of this campaign! 

💡Bottom Line: Empathy isn't just nice, it's also profitable. The deeper you understand others, the better your results.

Tuning Fork

2012: Enter Stage Right

What started as a communications advisory role with the National Speakers Association became a complete transformation story. Working alongside Hall of Fame speaking legends like Brian Tracy, we engineered a turnaround that tripled web traffic, grew leads 6X, and turned a 10% membership loss into a 10% gain. One campaign generated $250,000 in just 48 hours, and we transformed their annual convention from 1,000 attendees to 1,500 plus 600 virtual participants.

💡Bottom Line: When you're fixing "marketing problems," you're really solving trust problems.

Mic

2013: Invisible Solutions

I began to deepen my studies into the subconscious mind, emotional healing, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and meditation. I became fascinated with the CIA's declassified research on how they taught regular people extrasensory perception (ESP) abilities, which inspired me to develop mine.

💡Bottom Line: Your greatest breakthroughs often come from exploring what others consider "woo."

Feather

2014: The Ripple Effect

My husband and I donated thousands of dollars to build new concrete homes for 16 Haitians who were living in mud huts, as well as help orphans get an education. As part of our donation, we went to Haiti to see where the money was going. I felt an increasing desire (and even responsibility) to make an impact.

💡Bottom Line: Success without impact doesn't create real fulfillment, which comes from creating lasting change.

Haiti

2014: Morning Magic

My husband and started an eCommerce business that combined my love for morning rituals and mindfulness. What I love about matcha is how quickly it changes the brain into the Optimal State of Flow (Alpha brain frequency) and supports increased focus, empowerment and productivity. Shark Tank even approached us (not the other way around!). We exited this business after building it to 7 figures on Amazon and our own ecommerce site.

💡Bottom Line: When Shark Tank comes to you, you've found a movement. Sometimes the best opportunities arise when you build from personal passion rather than market research.

Matcha

2016: Two Miracles

After experiencing the challenge of infertility for seven years with my husband Jared, we gave birth to our two most joyful creations. Using Intuition to see the "Invisible Solutions" played a major role in achieving our dreams.

💡Bottom Line: Your biggest personal challenges often become your most powerful professional insights.

Family

2016: Authentic Funnels

Created my first online course for personal development leaders, teaching them how to market with soul. Turned my decade of marketing experience into a framework others could follow.

💡Bottom Line: Your expertise is meant to be a bridge for others who are where you once were.

Christie Turley

2016: Burnout and Discontent

High achievement patterns and a new family prompted me to reevaluate my methods. Grappling with anxiety and depression, I delved deeper into learning about intuition and the subconscious mind. I had a major Aha moment! I finally realized why high performers burn out: they ignore their subconscious mind's role in decision-making. This led to my book years later, The Intuition-Led Business, and my podcast WALK THE FIRE (about the hidden WTF moments that shape leaders). I truly believe that better decision-making is the key to innovating solutions that will change the world.

💡Bottom Line: Rock bottom is actually the foundation for your next level of impact.

Matches

2017: Mic Check

I gave my first stage presentation to a large group of CEO’s running 7-, 8- and 9-figure businesses. It was a success, evidenced by a swarm of people around me at lunch. Interestingly, right before I got on stage, the tension in the room was palpable. The host couldn’t seem to calm down the attendees after an incident on stage. I witnessed the conflict before going on stage and I told him, “I’ve got this.” After the event was over, the host told me that my speech saved his event. This is when I realized that I was born to speak on stage.

💡Bottom Line: Your greatest strengths often reveal themselves in others' moments of crisis.

Christie Turley

2017: The Velocity Method™

Developed enterprise-level leadership training for Fortune 1000 and Inc 5000 companies. Transformed the conversation from behavior management to self-leadership, helping organizations of 1,000-10,000+ employees shift their entire culture.

💡Bottom Line: The biggest problems in leadership are more about presence, not performance.

The Velocity Method

2020: Pursuing Purpose

All of my earlier experiences up until this point provided me with unique insights the subconscious mind's role in decision-making. I published my first book, The Intuition-Led Business to provide an easy-to-understand process for strengthening intuition and released the first episodes of The WALK THE FIRE Podcast (how WTF Moments become your Walk the Fire story that changes how you lead, love and live).

💡Bottom Line: Every venture, success, and failure was preparing you for your real work.

The Intuition-Led Business
Walk the Fire Podcast

2020: The Intuitive Gym

Launched an innovative online membership platform teaching people how to develop their intuition like a muscle. Created a systematic approach to strengthening intuitive abilities through regular practice and guided exercises. Successfully scaled and sold my half of the business.

💡Bottom Line: Your most profitable exits often come from systematizing what others see as invisible, and even spiritual development can be turned into a sustainable business model.

Magic 8 Ball

2021: The Big Pivot

While many speakers were scrambling off stage to find virtual work during the pandemic, I was running toward the stage.

I started teaching through workshops and keynotes, helping others regain their sense of purpose, identity and personal power.

💡Bottom Line: While others run from challenges, leaders run toward opportunities to serve at a higher level.

Compass

Cut to Now...

After two decades of starting, streamlining, and selling businesses (nine of them, to be exact) and coaching 1000s of businesses through my marketing consultancy, I finally saw the invisible thread running through it all. Every venture was secretly teaching me about visibility... not just the marketing kind, but the soul-deep, can't-copy-this kind.

Turns out my superpower isn't just seeing opportunities others miss. It's about seeing the invisible frameworks hiding in plain sight: discarded systems, buried genius, market trends before they peak, and hidden levers that multiply profits.

I realized brilliant experts are struggling with invisibility while sitting on gold mines of insight they can't quite articulate.

This is why I created BE KNOWN. It's the natural culmination of my life's work in making the invisible visible. BE KNOWN™ is a framework for turning an expert's invisible brilliance into visible purpose and profits.

💡Bottom Line: Sometimes your greatest contribution isn't about choosing between your chapters... it's about seeing the invisible pattern that connects them all.

— Crystal Dwyer Hansen

EPISODE 44

Christie Turley shares how resisting her intuition kept her stuck in formulas, mentors, and external validation until unmistakable signs pushed her to write The Intuition-Led Business.
