Deeper Than Dough

How Do You Go from Working in an Industry to Owning Multiple Businesses in It—Without Investing a Dime?



Samantha Neely did just that. After 20+ years in the tanning and wellness industry, she turned her passion into ownership. Now, she’s leading multiple Glo Tanning locations and helping others do the same.

In this episode of Deeper Than Dough, Bennett sits down with Samantha to dive into what it really takes to push through uncertainty. They explore the delicate balance between sacrifice and success, the importance of leading by example, and why it's okay to not be okay… as long as you don’t stay that way.



If you're navigating a tough season, questioning your path, or just need a reminder that you can keep going, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

🔥 How she became a salon owner—without millions in the bank

🔥 The power of self-care and why it’s more than just luxury

🔥 The biggest challenges of running a business & how to overcome them

🔥 Why success isn’t about luck—it’s about preparation + the right mindset

If you’re stuck, doubting yourself, or waiting for “the right time,” this episode is a must-listen.
