  • Interview of Gabrielle Mills
    Nov 3 2025
    Episode Summary:

    In this special first-ever video episode of the InPowered Women Podcast, Sharon Lee sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and fellow Iron Forums member Gabrielle Mills, Founder & President of Sourced.

    Gabrielle went from corporate marketing at brands like IHG and the PGA Tour to launching a company from her mother’s basement — and building it into a multi-award-winning, recession-resistant firm. But this episode goes much deeper than business strategy.

    Gabrielle shares the real story: the grind, the tears, the moments of doubt, the “Year That Must Not Be Named,” and the faith that kept her going even when the odds said “quit.”

    From scaling lessons to mental toughness to the importance of getting in rooms that stretch you, Gabrielle’s story is equal parts practical and powerful. If you're an entrepreneur, a builder, or a business leader pushing toward that next level — this conversation will leave you energized and ready to move.

    Insights from this episode:
    • You don’t fail unless you quit — everything else is learning

    • Scaling requires structure: Systems, processes, and the right talent

    • Your “why” must be big enough to hold you through the hard days

    • Recession resistance is real — if your business is built intentionally

    • Mentorship matters: you can’t reach your full potential in isolation

    • Success is rarely a straight line — sometimes it’s Audis after a crisis

    • Entrepreneurship requires mental toughness and a willingness to pivot

    Quotes from the show:

    “Your why has to be big enough to sustain you from all you’re having to go through.” — Gabrielle Mills, InPowered Women Podcast

    “You don’t ever fail unless you give up. Failure isn’t real… it’s a construct. You win or you learn something.” — Gabrielle Mills, InPowered Women Podcast

    “I’m a huge proponent of mentorship. You can’t fully unlock your potential without someone who has walked the path in front of you.” — Gabrielle Mills, InPowered Women Podcast

    “When God closes a door, it’s because He’s pushing you somewhere else — even when you don’t know where ‘somewhere else’ is yet.” — Gabrielle Mills, InPowered Women Podcast
