About Madilynn Beck & The Better Spot
Madilynn is the Founder and CEO of the Better Spot. “In my experience, being a founder is nothing like the filtered journey you see on social media. It's largely the glorification of toxic hustle culture, elective accountability, and performative allyship. But that's not the hardest part.
Founding something that you're confident will change the future as we know it and living that transformation while also being expected to quantify its impact, that's the hard part. As a founder, I'm proving a better future is worth investing in when I'm the only one that has the vision for what that future looks like”.
The Better Spot is creating a communal environment, ushering in a culturally humble, destigmatized approach to holistic wellness. Our dual model allows us the agility to focus on the whole human; In-person, through flexible and affordable lease arrangements, we’ve eliminated the barriers of cost and cannibalization for our credentialed Experts and undoubtedly passed those savings onto the Client. For our Clients, the market style of our offering yields diverse representation in practitioner modalities, culture and their ability to acquire services via a comprehensive, cost-conscious pricing structure. Virtually, our app solution cultivates an inclusive, diverse, ecosystem of holistic practitioners”.
