Squared Circle with Yvette Raposo

08/27/2026

Hey Female Fighters & Founders ~ THIS ONE IS FOR YOU and so far the attendee list is stacked with past and current boxing champions, amateur + professional, medalists, olympians, retired fighters who became founders of incredible initiatives and other female entrepreneurs who understand the power of sport and collaboration with badass athletes to elevate their own brand and business ~ let's goooooooooo

🥊As a former fighter myself and longtime entrepreneur, it's incredible to see the momentum in women's sports not only for its entertainment value but also as a great business opportunity for those who are paying attention!

My experience as a competitive boxer turned into my story and this story ultimately became my brand and title of my keynote speech
" Find Your Fighter Within".

👀I see such a huge opportunity here to introduce female fighters to founders of businesses and entrepreneurs who are also looking to affiliate with other like minded individuals who possess the same qualities of an elite athlete: hard work, perseverance, focus, discipline, vision and a winning mindset.

📍Imagine a scenario where athletes and small businesses / entrepreneurs are cross promoting each others stories on social media , amplifying each others brands, services and offerings while providing a personal recommendation because they now have a personal connection with one another??

📍Imagine flooding the algorithm with inspiring stories featuring people doing amazing things that fosters that fighting spirit while also focusing on building community?

🎯Well you don't have to imagine anymore ~ let's start with this call and let the ripple effect begin ~~~

❓Why fighters & founders on this call?

⭐️Because women who own businesses and dare to take all the risks are fighters, and fighters who compete in the ring are the founders of their own brand and value proposition.

📣It's time for a meeting of the minds!!!🚨

As a former fighter myself and longtime entrepreneur, it's incredible to see the momentum in women's sports not only for its entertainment value but also as a great business opportunity for those who are paying attention!

🗣️So, female fighters and founders ~ who wants to catch this fastball and ride this massive wave so that we can make a serious contender in this conversation. It's finally time we collaborate: with intention, focus and determination, just like we know how to do. LFG!!!

💡In this FREE one hour zoom call ( to start) ➡️ Learn how to maximize your fight career and entrepreneurial story beyond the ring by thinking about your brand, positioning your worth and reaping the benefits of all your hard work long after the final bell.

👋🏼Female fighters & entrepreneurs- it's time to go after what you are worth while offering companies and organizations the opportunity to work with you. It's a win / win because people want to know you exist, they want to feel inspired by you and they even want to support you in many different ways but first, they need to know where to find you so they can feel you.

🥊As fighters, for the most part, you work, train and make moves in silos. It can feel very isolating at times and confusing when you have to make business decisions for yourself and question who to trust or where to turn.

👒As founders of businesses, you are already wearing so many hats and the constant learning curves are overwhelming and exhausting. You need to feel supported and understood and surround yourself with others who are also grinding out of passion and purpose, even if it's just for this one hour to start.

❓Why fighters & founders on this call?

Because women who own businesses and dare to take all the risks are fighters, and fighters who compete in the ring are the founders of their own brand and value proposition.

It was a 14 hour extravaganza yesterday at the SponsorshipX Brand Fandom Summit in Toronto and the whole day/night experience flew by because time flies when you are having SO MUCH fun surrounded by such amazing people.

Learning and connecting by day ~ cheering and clapping for the Toronto Tempo by night 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Here are just a few 🔑key takeaways from the summit held at TIFF who were amazing hosts:

💡There are 5 types of fans and we can be a mix of some or all of them at differnet stages:
1) Die Hard
2) **I forget #2 somebody help me remember ???
3) Amplifier
4) Changemaker
5) Champion

💡women's sports fandom is the blueprint for modern fandom ~ Alyson Walker from THE TEAM

💡the logo doesn't own the loyalty anymore, there are so many creative ways we can now be innovative with how we engage fans. We are not limited to simply what is happening on the court. Activations = Engagement and Emotions + a sense of belonging are the driving forces of how people spend, invest and then talk about their experiences to others offline !

💡companies are still very focused, if not even more now, on values alignment when it comes to brand partnerships.

Some of my favourite quotes ( paraphrasing) and one liners from the day:

🗣️" I am not scared " Reetu Gupta Ambassadress
🗣️ starting from scratch is not for everyone Teresa Resch President, Toronto Tempo
🗣️ expressing individuality while promoting a sense of belonging through sport because athletes and women are multi dimensional ~ Allison Litzinger, Sephora Canada

And so much more !!!
Will post more .... for now, basking in the momentum we experiencing in and the amazing people behind the movement.

HUGE thank you and massive credit to the man who makes these incredibly important moves happen Mark Harrison you are beyond a 🙏

Special thanks to Canadian Tire for this incredible opportunity and selecting me for the Changemaker sponsored ticket ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Just a few takeaways from another AMAZING canfitpro global fitness conference in Toronto this past weekend:

💡mental health can be and should be considered part of our fitness journey.

💡with all this talk about recovery tools and tricks and tips and formulas and products and systems to optimize our performance, let's not forget one of the most effective recovery practises we can maximize on to come back stronger for every workout even at elite levels, is spending time with loved ones, feeling and giving love and social connection.

💡an 80 year old brain is not a degrading brain, it is a multidimensional brain. Memory can be richer. Vocabulary can be better. Emotional processing can be deeper. Jill Hewlett

I have been a Canfitpro delegate for almost 30 years now as a fitness professional and every year that I attend this conference (and now as a presenter), I am always amazed and inspired by how this industry continues to pivot, stay relevant, be innovative and remain one of the fundamental resources for the health and well-being of humanity.

But just as important as the industry itself, are the professionals who dedicate their whole lives to ongoing learning and growing, and who are so darn brave every day to show up for others in ways that are beyond measure.

To all my colleagues and peers who I met for the first time IRL, to those who I only see once per year at the conference and to those who I get to connect and collaborate with on an ongoing basis, I appreciate you and will continue to celebrate the very important work that you do because I know it is the difference that makes all the difference 🌍

Shoutout to the panelists on the Landscape of Youth Sport discussion I had the great honor of moderating ~ you made my job so easy.

Until next year 👊🏼
