As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

A prominent business owner and bestselling author, Dr. Olson is making a significant impact through a series of entrepreneurial and leadership milestones that have shaped her into a leading figure in business coaching and social media strategy. Since 2018, she has served as the chief executive officer of Goal Digger Girl Co., an organization she founded to empower female entrepreneurs in growing their brands through effective social media marketing and sales.

Under Dr. Olson's guidance, The Goal Digger Girl has become a global platform that supports more than 13,000 students with programs focused on authenticity, content strategy and audience building. Her daily responsibilities at the company include creating B-roll footage for short-form videos, recording podcast episodes and YouTube content, overseeing multiple group coaching programs, directly coaching clients and engaging with her audience through direct messaging strategies. She is also responsible for casting vision by identifying market needs and planning new initiatives, such as a three-day writer's retreat.

In addition to her executive role, Dr. Olson has been recognized as a social media expert in the online space since 2017. Her expertise in digital marketing and online branding — she quickly built a top 25 podcast in marketing, garnered over 1 million monthly views on Pinterest and accrued more than 50,000 weekly viewers for Facebook Live streams — has enabled her to connect with a diverse international audience, further amplifying her ability to guide more women toward their business goals.

Dr. Olson's influence extends beyond her company through her membership in the Forbes Coaches Council since 2022, underscoring her standing among top professionals in the coaching industry. Throughout her career, she has maintained active involvement in industry organizations such as the International Association of Top Professionals, reflecting her commitment to ongoing professional development and networking.

Prior to launching The Goal Digger Girl, Dr. Olson owned FitKim from 2011 to 2020, during which she focused on health and wellness education. Having built prominent social media channels on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, she also made frequent television appearances on networks such as NBC, ABC, Fox, CBS and CW as well as public speaking engagements, establishing her as a trusted worldwide voice in nutrition and holistic health.

From 2011 to 2015, Dr. Olson was the national training director at Genesis Today Inc., where she developed training programs and led initiatives to promote superfoods and wellness products across the United States and Canada. Through this platform, she conducted product launches, in-store trainings, webinars and more than 150 public lectures and TV appearances while monitoring the impact of each event on sales.

Earlier in her career, Dr. Olson served as the marketing and membership director at Eagle Pointe Recreation Complex & YMCA from 2006 to 2011. In this capacity, she managed a budget of $4.3 million and the expenses of 11,000 members while expanding revenue and marketing strategies for community health and wellness programs.

Dr. Olson began her professional path as a district sales manager at Vector Marketing Corporation in Michigan from 1998 to 2006. This formative experience in sales management allowed her to fund her education while developing essential skills in client relations, team leadership and entrepreneurship. Achieving more than $500,000 in total district office sales, she was named the second-best recruiter in the United States in fall 2003 while her sales office ranked in the top 10 of the Great Lakes Region in 2004.

Hailing from an equally accomplished academic background, Dr. Olson earned a Doctor of Philosophy in natural health and holistic nutrition from The College of Natural Health in 2014 after completing a Master of Science in nutrition sciences from Clayton College of Natural Health in 2008. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Business Administration in business management and marketing from Northwood University in 2001. Determined to make an impact outside the classroom as well, she served as vice president of Delta Epsilon Chi and was chairperson of the Delta Zeta national sorority at Northwood.

Along with her formal education, Dr. Olson holds numerous certifications that reinforce her authority as a coach and strategist. In 2025 alone, she created certifications such as a wellness and stress management coach, customer service strategist, Instagram growth strategist, leadership development specialist and social seller through Goal Digger Girl Co. Furthermore, she is certified as a nutritional consultant by the Association of Nutritional Consultants and is an accredited online business owner and mindset coach.

Reflecting on her storied journey thus far, Dr. Olson attributes her success to unwavering inner resilience — a quality she considers essential for overcoming the adversities of entrepreneurship. She has faced significant personal challenges, including overcoming addiction after more than a decade-long struggle that culminated in seeking professional help in 2017. This pivotal decision not only transformed her own life but also inspired her mission to empower other women who face similar obstacles.

Dr. Olson's early experiences growing up in poverty with a single parent who struggled financially instilled in her both empathy and determination. Upon launching The Goal Digger Girl, she rapidly eliminated her personal debt and achieved financial independence — an accomplishment she regards as one of her most significant milestones.

Driven by a steadfast desire to give back, Dr. Olson also founded Elephant Sisters, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women who often neglect their own needs while building businesses or navigating the hardships of life. Inspired by the protective nature of female elephants, Elephant Sisters provides tangible assistance such as helping women escape abusive situations or sponsoring families during times of financial difficulty.

Also a prolific author, Dr. Olson has published ten books with the goal to write at least one new book each year. Her works include the widely acclaimed "The Art of Self-Discipline," published in 2020 by Callisto Media, as well as several bestselling books on female empowerment, finding entrepreneurial success and building a successful social media presence. Her accessible approach to various topics allows individuals worldwide to benefit from her teachings and experience at an comfortable entry point.

In recognition of her thought leadership, Dr. Olson delivered a TED Talk in 2021 on reclaiming social media for positive change — a subject that remains central to her vision for the future of digital engagement. She is also set to host episodes of "Moving America Forward" on CNBC in 2026, expanding her impact as a marketing and social media expert.

In her personal life, Dr. Olson resides in Austin, Texas, with her husband Scott and their two children. As a balance to her responsibilities with The Goal Digger Girl, she enjoys traveling, writing, running, spending time with her family and playing softball with her daughters. A lifelong learner, she continually seeks out new courses to expand her skills.

Looking toward the future, Dr. Olson envisions leading a dedicated team that is committed to setting the gold standard in coaching while pioneering innovation on social media platforms. A strong advocate for the harnessing of digital tools to foster positivity within families and communities, she believes that meaningful change begins locally before expanding outward to broader society. Her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a social media marketing mogul and bestselling author exemplifies resilience, purpose-driven leadership and an unwavering commitment to empowering others — qualities that continue to define her impact on both individual lives and the wider entrepreneurial landscape.
