Ashley Lynn Priore Featured on “Success Unscripted” by The Copy Shift
What if the secret to success wasn’t following the rules - but breaking them?
That’s the question at the heart of Ashley Lynn Priore’s recent feature on Success Unscripted, the bold and refreshingly honest podcast from The Copy Shift’s Hailey Krajewski. In the latest episode, “Your Next Bold Move: Business, Bravery, and the Power of Chess,” Ashley dives into how chess became her blueprint for life—and the secret weapon behind her leadership journey.
Ashley, the founder of Queenside Ventures and Queens Gambit, shares her story of going from a young girl teaching chess at her local library to building a national nonprofit and consulting firm - long before most people expected her to. She opens up about navigating male-dominated spaces, challenging “youthism,” and scaling a business without losing sight of what already works.
Listeners will walk away with a radically clear definition of strategy (spoiler: it starts with taking inventory of your life), along with insights on how to lead with confidence—even when you feel like the room wasn’t built for you.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How Ashley turned her childhood love of chess into a movement (00:15:47)
The difference between Queen’s Gambit and Queenside Ventures (00:49:18)
A mindset practice to build confidence by celebrating small wins (00:43:27)
What “youthism” really means - and how Ashley built credibility from a young age (00:37:12)
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, changemaker, or leader in the making, this episode offers a rare and powerful blend of practical strategy and personal truth.
At Queenside Ventures, we believe strategy starts with clarity - and courage. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone ready to stop second-guessing and start making bold, purpose-driven moves.
Because leadership isn’t about playing by the rules. It’s about knowing the game - and changing it.
