Ashley Werner

She’s bold. She’s brilliant. She’s unapologetically High Standard.

Ashley Werner has spent the last 15+ years building businesses in over 30 countries; from scrappy startups to global giants. She’s driven strategy and profitability for Fortune 100 powerhouses and family-owned brands with soul. Her superpower is turning chaos into clarity and ambition into action. 


Now, she’s bringing that fire to the mic.


Every week on High Heels, Higher Standards, Ashley peels back the layers of what it really means to lead with heart, grit, and unshakable self-worth. No fluff. No filters. Just real talk from a woman who’s walked it, built it, and lived it.


She’s not here to tell you to hustle harder. She’s here to help you set the standard...then raise it.


Tune in and get ready for raw conversations, real power moves, and the kind of energy that makes you stand taller.

Heidi Hushak

She’s a force in the boardroom, fierce in a lab coat, & finally stepping into the spotlight.


Heidi Hushak is brilliance in heels; a global leader in quality compliance with a background in microbiology, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. Since 2007, she’s led high-performing teams, taught international seminars, and thrived in the world’s most complex regulatory environments.


But Heidi is more than lab coats and SOPs. With a secret love for ancient history and theology, she brings curiosity, clarity, and just the right touch of irreverence to every conversation.


Now, she’s channeling her expertise into entrepreneurship launching a consulting firm to help women succeed (and shine) in traditionally male dominated industries.


As co-host of High Heels, Higher Standards, she’s here to shake the table, challenge the rules, and remind women that smart is sexy, and owning your power is non-negotiable.
