show moreOur guest, Brittany Driscoll, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Squeeze, a way better massage experience from the founders of Drybar. In fact, she was the person who took DryBar from $30M to more than $100M in revenue.
Squeeze’s revolutionary app-based booking and payment platform makes scheduling, paying, tipping, and rating easy, peasy, so you simply float out with the ability to tip and rate your therapist at your leisure.
You can personalize services giving you control over everything from pressure to in-room settings like lighting and sound to create the ideal indulgent atmosphere for a truly holistic massage.
As a female entrepreneur, cancer survivor, and wellness advocate, Brittany has a deep passion for supporting other women in business and has become a thought-leader in her community.
