The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

It’s time to wake up, guys, because today we’ve got The Sleep Doctor on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Dr. Michael Breus is a Clinical Psychologist, Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and he specializes in Sleep Disorders. He is on the clinical advisory board of The Dr. Oz Show, and has appeared on the show 39 times. Although his accomplishments make you wonder if this guy even sleeps (he does, and he loves it), he’s gone through great lengths to helps others optimize their sleep health in an industry where voices and credentials like his own are rare. Although he claims to not be much of a businessman, The Sleep Doctor knew when to reach out for help and how to make his way into local, regional, then national media. Dr. Michael Breus generously shares with us the steps he took to make it into national media and stay there. He didn’t just hustle; he created a game plan, stuck to it, and fostered relationships that were win-win. Tune in to hear Michael’s media secrets, his biggest blooper, and why it’s so important to “be a good date.” In this episode, Michael and I discuss: How he got the name and URL “The Sleep Doctor.” Hiring a manager to get exposed and grow the business. The secrets to his media success. His appearance on Oprah and how it was a blooper turned pot of gold. When Michael realized what he wanted to do and how media helps. 3:30 – 8:00 - The origins of the name “The Sleep Doctor” and positioning 8:00 – 18:00 - How Michael’s business and brand grew; “be a good date” 18:00 – 24:00 - Dealing with producers and solidifying media relationships 24:00 – 27:30 - Responding to adversity and how Michael’s response benefited him 27:30 – 31:30 - The intersection between what you love and serving a gap in the market 31:30 – 40:00 – The Rapid Five

Welcome back, Healthpreneurs! Today we’ve got Ricki Heller on the show, and she’s going to share with us how persistence can lead to success. With persistence – and a sense of humor – Ricki got Ellen DeGeneres to publicly recommend her self-published book. Ricki is an educator, writer, cookbook author, and natural nutritionist. She loves to create recipes for people with dietary restrictions. She does one-on-one coaching, online programs, and has a private membership club. She has been on an anti-candida diet since 2009 and shares primarily plant-based recipes. Ricki has her own health journey that led her towards this path of helping others. Always an entrepreneur at heart, Ricki understands the mindset that leads to complacency and fear of failure. Tune in to hear how Ricki stepped into her role as an entrepreneur, why she’s careful about who she talks to, and why her biggest advice is to stay true to yourself. In this episode, Ricki and I discuss: Her self-published book. How she got Ellen’s attention. The power of persistence. How an entrepreneur thinks about failure. The issue with complacency and being true to yourself. 3:30 – 11:30 - Introducing Ricky, her journey, and how Ellen endorsed her self-published book 11:30 – 17:30 - Her thoughts on entrepreneurship, overthinking things, and persistence 17:30 – 24:00 - Failure, perfection, discussing business, and her exit strategy from teaching 24:00 – 27:30 - Complacency and the constant desire to become and do better 27:30 – 29:00 - Regrets and doing things that align with who you are 29:00 – 35:00 – The Rapid Five

Hey guys, welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast. And guess what? I’m back on Instagram! Let me tell you why. I’m sure you’ve heard me talk why I left Instagram in the first place. But you’ve also heard me talk about the number one thing you should have locked in before veering off into anything else: Your perfect process. You see, your process must be locked in (and working!) before moving on to the next steps that could just distract you from your goal – to make money. This is the difference between businesses that take years – if ever – to take off, and those that are humming like a well-oiled machine weeks, if not months, after launching. That’s why I made sure my Perfect Client Pipeline was in place, and working perfectly, before getting back on Instagram. Now, I can share my thoughts and connect with people on Instagram while knowing that my process is making me money and working without my presence. If you’re wondering what’s taking so long for your business to take off or you want to finally set your priorities straight, tune in! 1:00 – 3:30 - Where your focus in business needs to be and the ideal model to use 3:30 – 5:30 - Why your perfect process needs to come first 5:30 – 7:00 - What happens when it doesn’t, and the lesson I learned 7:00 – 13:00 - The reason I’m back on Instagram and what I locked in first 13:00 – 14:30 - The thought process behind the choice to get back on Instagram 14:30 – 16:00 – How I can support you in building your process

Welcome to the Healthpreneur Podcast! We’re back at it again with another amazing guest, Josh Trent. Josh is the founder of Wellness Force and Wellness Force Media, and through his businesses he strives to help men and women discover physical and emotional intelligence and live life well. Josh hosts his own podcast, Wellness Force Radio, and is the creator of the Wellness Frequency Method, which teaches the foundations for a freedom-based life with practical and spiritual training. He’s got over 15 years in the health and wellness industry and his own journey overcoming self-doubt, weight issues, and shame. He has an interesting take on his past because he recognizes it as something that happened for him – not to him – and once he moved past it’s pain he knew he was on the right path. This episode goes deep into the personal blocks that yank us back, and draws us to the other side so our journey on our true path can continue. Tune in to find out how Josh built his emotional intelligence to succeed in life – and how you can, too. In this episode, Josh and I discuss: Josh’s childhood and the self-doubt he bared. Addressing issues from childhood. The role plant-medicine can take in our journey towards self-discovery. The sick global collective and why we must strive for mental health.

Welcome to the Healthpreneur Podcast! You know, it’s great to hear from new up-and-coming Healthpreneurs in our space, but nothing will replace hearing the wisdom that comes from years of learning through experience. Today, we’ve got a real OG on the show: Frank Lipman. He’s been a pioneer in both integrative and functional medicine for some time, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Frank is an international speaker, has been featured in top health magazines and shows, is a New York Times bestselling author, and founded Eleven Eleven Wellness Center in New York City. Be Well, his lifestyle brand, offers premium supplements, cleanse programs, and personalized health coaching. Despite his impressive accolades, Frank describes himself as a terrible businessman. How can this be? Tune in to find out how Frank scaled his businesses and continues to succeed with the help of a team, backup from his family, and a foundation that is rooted firmly in a true relationship with his self. Frank gives golden wisdom-nuggets about meditation, authenticity, and investing, and lets us in on the advice he gives his own 30-year old daughter. In this episode, Frank and I discuss: Who helped him get into the online world. The advice he gives his own daughter. Authenticity, meaning, being present, and being true to yourself.

Hey there, Healthpreneurs! Welcome back to another solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast. Today we’re going to have a quick chat about the importance of putting in the reps. You see, you become what you practice. If you want to succeed in business or in life, you’ve got to put in the work to get there. When I played professional soccer, I practiced and practiced – even after practice! But it wasn’t just kicking the ball with no rhyme or reason. I made sure I was putting in quality reps that bettered my game. This is the same in business. If you establish the reps you need to do to get to where you want to be, each rep will propel you closer to your goal. Blindly kick the ball with no rhyme or reason, and you’ll spend your life chasing it around the park. Tune in to hear the 3 steps to mastery and why all 3 are undeniably critical to lasting success. 1:00 – 2:00 - The importance of putting in the reps in life and business 2:00 – 4:30 - My personal example of becoming what you practice 4:00 – 6:00 - Putting in the reps, but doing it properly 6:00 – 7:30 - The path to mastery 7:30 – 10:00 - Some to-do’s

Guess what, Healthpreneurs? We’ve got another super-cool guest on our show! Surprised? You shouldn’t be, because this is the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today, I’m chatting with Joe Arko, owner of a business consulting service called PT Profits and a certification program called ATS (Advanced Training System). What’s more, Joe was awarded the 2017 International Trainer of the Year, was nominated for the 2017 Fitness Hall of Fame, and has an 8,000-square foot training facility called the Elite Performance Center. Needless to say, this guy knows his stuff, so it’s no wonder he’s leading, mentoring, and inspiring others. Joe has put in work. He opened his training facility on his own, learned how to delegate, and scaled his business by teaching others to do what he does. He quickly learned that, if he wanted more freedom and time with his kids, he was going to need a business model that didn’t rely 100% on him. Tune in to hear how his business grew into what it is today, how he overcame the growing pains, and why he believes the “personal” needs to stay in personal training. In this episode, Joe and I discuss: His certification courses for personal trainers and company, PT Profits. How he teaches others to do what he does. The difference between content and delivery and what to look for when you hire. The challenges that come with teaching and coaching others. What’s ruining the industry and why the “personal” needs to stay in personal training. How Joe inspires an entrepreneurial attitude in his kids. 3:00 – 8:30 - The two tiers of Joe’s business, how he built them, and how he’s scaling 8:30 – 13:00 - Teaching the delivery of information and having reasonable expectations 13:00 – 17:00 - Attitude over skill 17:00 – 24:00 - The state of the industry, gaining experience, and creating long-term success 24:00 – 34:30 - Delegating, having a “get it done” attitude, and valuable teachings

It’s another great day on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today’s guest is a wicked-smart social media revenue strategist, author, speaker, and philanthropist. Matthew Loop is the author of “Social Media Made Me Rich,” and he helps brands, celebrities, startups and small business owners leverage the internet for greater influence, impact, and income. Matthew hasn’t always had the code to social media success. In fact, when he started out online, he was massively in debt, his credit cards were maxed out, and he was humiliated when he had to accept a $2,000 loan from his ex-girlfriend’s father. What an ego-squash. Luckily, as you’ll be able to hear during our chat, Matthew is wildly ambitious and an avid learner. He devoured books and content about social media, human behavior, and marketing, and soon his tactics were working. Others began noticing and they wanted to know just how he did it. Tune in to hear how Matthew grew his consulting business, what he did to scale, and why – through all his success - his top priorities have never changed and he stays grounded in what’s important. In this episode, Matthew and I discuss: How he’s built his consulting business. Facebook marketing and how he cracked the code. Taking the leap into an online business and learning how to do it. Delegating work to people who can do it better and putting skin in the game. How having kids makes you more resourceful and creative. His Ferrari, why he bought it, and what he prioritizes. 4:00 – 8:30 - Matthew’s business model and how it evolved 8:30 –13:00 - Using social media, direct response, and marketing to influence people 13:00 – 21:30 - The journey from a struggling private practice to a flourishing online business 21:30 – 27:00 - Working at home with kids and teaching them entrepreneurial skills 27:00 – 30:30 - The Ferrari and what Matt has learned about priorities, happiness, and life

Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast! You’re in luck – I’ve got another solo round just for you. Today, I want to share the epiphany I had while travelling around and training with some tennis coaches this past year. It’s this: Having too many coaches is worse than having none. Why? Because it’s frustrating, their advice always contradicts each other’s, and you just never seem to get on one path and stick to it long enough to see results. As students, we need to filter our sources down and stick to one coach and one path. As coaches, we must educate our clients on the importance of sticking to a game-plan and staying focused on our teachings despite information they may receive elsewhere. Tune in to find out what you can do RIGHT NOW to curate the information you consume and move towards your goals on a clear, effective path. 1:00 – 2:30 - My revelation while travelling and playing tennis 2:30 – 3:30 - Why having too many coaches is worse than having none 3:30 – 6:30 - Focus on one path, have one coach, stick to it, and have your clients do the same 6:30 – 8:30 - An example of the long-term game plan paying off when you stay focused 8:30 – 9:30 - What to do TODAY to get rid of contradictory and confusing sources 9:30 – 11:30 – What to do if Healthpreneur resonates with you

Welcome back to another awesome episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’m excited to present Casey Arnold of Casey Arnold Nutrition. She inspires clients, athletes, coaches, and groups to live their best and most empowered life. We are similar in that we both believe in the importance of in-person connection. After having realized how physically disconnected we are to one another in this digital age, Casey made it her mission to ensure she connects individually with her team and clients. Although this often means Zoom calls, she finds it necessary to see faces and shake hands whenever possible. Her ability to genuinely connect with people has been her key to success. Casey nailed it in terms of her thoughts on connection, people-pleasing, and coaching. In short, we’ve got to connect face-to-face, we can’t expect to grow if we’re too concerned about what other people think, and having a coach will massively shortcut your path to success. Period. Tune in to hear Casey break down mindset, vulnerability, and struggle, and learn how to get your ego to step aside so you can step up. In this episode, Casey and I discuss: How we seem to be more disconnected than ever. Why a lack of in-person connection will hinder your growth. How she manages her team and connects with her clients. Why people-pleasing gets you nowhere. How having a coach changed the game for her business. The mindset needed to move the needle. 3:00 – 9:00 - Casey’s journey and the importance of in-person connection 9:00 – 16:00 - How a lack of connection impacts your business 16:00 – 21:30 - Incorporating connection with your team and clients into your mission 21:00 – 27:00 - Vulnerability, struggle, and growth over ego, and people-pleasing to destruction 27:00 – 30:30 - The reason why there’s no excuse not to have a coach or mentor 30:30 – 33:00 - The Rapid Five

Get ready for some tough love on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Yuri here, and today I’m going to get into why the need for certainty is hurting you. I get it. It would be nice to know every step of the journey and know – for certain – that everything will work out 100% of the time. But that’s simply not life, right? Life requires moving forward, even if you’re uncertain of the outcome. Think of all the greats out there. Do you think they knew with 100% certainty that their idea or business would take off? Do you think they avoided all risk to get to where they are today? No. And that’s the difference between successful entrepreneurs and those who fall flat on their face. You simply can’t live in the comfort of certainty and expect the growth, freedom, and impact that you desire in your business. So, it’s time to make a choice. What’s it going to be? 1:00 – 3:00 - Why the need for certainty hurts us 3:00 – 6:30 - We need to believe in results before we can see them 6:30 – 8:30 - My personal examples of stepping into uncertainty 8:30 – 10:30 - The difference between successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs 10:30 – 12:30 - What to do if you’re ready to step up

Welcome to the one and only Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’ve got an exciting new guest on the show who is going to clue us in on instant pain deletion, what that is, and how it’s changing the game for her clients. Our guest, Marnie Greenberg, is an internationally recognized intuitive and medium, author, speaker, and strategist, with more than twenty years of experience in healing and natural medicine. The strategies she teaches are designed to offer pain relief, clarity, and higher consciousness instantly by unveiling strength that is already within. In the wellness industry, people are accustomed to gradual results and improvements, not an on-the-spot game-changing experience. This is what makes Marnie’s offering so valuable – sometimes we just need a quick reset! Tune in to hear how Marnie has built her online coaching business to turn weaknesses into strengths, and how her own life was saved with the very method she teaches. In this episode, Marnie and I discuss: The services that Marnie offers her clients. Deleting pain on-the-spot. When something’s a “yes” or a “no.” How she experienced rapid pain deletion first-hand.

It’s another beautiful day on The Healthpreneur Podcast! Welcome back to the show. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Maya Fiennes, a mother, musician, composer, yogi and author who offers both digital products and in-person conferences, trainings, and retreats. She’s a ball of energy whose mission is to help people take the tools taught in yoga and apply them in their day-to-day life. Maya is also the creator of KundaDance, which blends yoga, dance, music, Tai Chi and Qi Gong into a fun and expressive healing experience. She inspires, uplifts, ignites, energizes and empowers people all over the world with her light and expertise. With today’s ever-evolving digital platforms, Maya has had to grow and change her business model, too. Tune in as Maya and I discuss how her business and retreat models have changed over the years, and how she’s had to adapt. She also offers deep wisdom in how anyone can learn to focus better and trust fully– and what that looks like in real life beyond the yoga mat. In this episode, Maya and I discuss: The struggles she faced when transitioning into digital platforms. Her retreat model and how she travels. The impact her retreats have made on her clients. The importance of meditation and mantra. How she’s learned to focus and trust. The good and bad of technology and social media. 3:00 – 7:00 - The evolution of Maya’s business from only in-person to nearly all digital 7:00 – 11:00 - Combining online products with in-person retreats and travel 11:00 – 16:30 - Maya’s retreat model, how she operates, and how she serves her clients 16:30 – 24:00 - Yoga, mantra, breathing, and meditation for focus and trust 24:00 – 30:00 - Getting back into flow and keeping the human connection in business 30:00 – 35:00 - The Rapid Five

Welcome back to another awesome episode of The Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we are going to discuss how to give your clients exactly what they want. Laura Schoenfeld, an R.D. trained in functional medical nutrition therapy, talks about how she formed her philosophy, built her business around it, and attracted her ideal client in the process. The funny thing that she realized was that, when she stood for what she believed rather than hide it, she started attracting the clients she wanted. She found that, by having a specific niche, she could not only serve her ideal clients, but also give them exactly what they want. Laura’s business has grown and evolved over the years, and she’s got some excellent insights into what fostered and hindered her progression along the way. If you are a coach, practitioner, or trainer that wants to hone in on your offering, ideal client, and philosophy so you stand out from the rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, Laura and I discuss: How she stands out. Why outsourcing has given her more time for her expertise. Being yourself to attract the clients you want. The return on investment when paying for coaching and programs. How niching has changed the trajectory of her business. Empathy as a critical component to true, fulfilled success. 1:30 – 8:30 - Laura’s background and how she formed the business she has now 8:30 – 15:00 - Outsourcing and distinguishing what your clients know and want 15:00 – 23:00 - Why it’s critical to be yourself and build your niche around that 23:00 – 28:00 - Training and coaching and the balance between investment and benefit 28:00 – 35:00 - Investing in coaching programs to learning and attract the right clients 35:00 – 41:30 - The Rapid Five

Welcome to The Healthpreneur Podcast! Let’s get right to it and discuss the number one fear that is sabotaging your business: The fear of being disliked. And guess what? It’s normal. I can relate and I bet you can, too. You see, we as humans have been hardwired from the beginning to want to fit in and be liked by our tribe. But in today’s world, the fear of being disliked is one we need to overcome so we can do better in business, impact people on a deeper level, and be our true, unique, awesome selves. If we let our fears operate our actions, we’ll never get to share our message and we’ll give up before we get the chance to breakthrough. Today I’ll discuss how I’ve seen this fear show up in my life, how I’ve seen successful people overcome it and persist their way to success, and why you must shift your mindset to see past the fear that’s stunting your growth. Luckily, there are ways to train for this shift so you can just be you, do you, and attract the right people in the process. Tune in to find out how. 1:00 – 2:30 - My story of when I sucked at sales 2:30 – 5:30 - The fear of being disliked and the value of persistence 5:30 – 7:30 - Overcoming the fear of being disliked and shifting your mindset 7:30 – 8:00 - All you can do is be you, but you need to share your offer and impact 8:00 – 10:00 - How to build the muscle to overthrow your fear

Welcome back to another episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we’re switching gears a bit and honing in on a necessary part of business that makes some of us squirm...sales. Sylvia Flavela, Pilates practitioner and business coach to Pilates entrepreneurs, breaks down the key to sales success in any business. Spoiler alert: It’s all in your head. From staying within the confines of our comfort zones, to fearing rejection, to lacking courage, the biggest reasons we don’t sell aren’t because our product sucks – it’s because, well, our mindset does. Luckily, that’s something we can fix. Sylvia drops some much-needed truth-bombs our way as she recalls experiences over the past decade and a half that have taught her the most effective sales techniques. I believe any Healthpreneur can improve the way they do and think about sales. That’s why this episode will prove useful to anyone wanting to up their game. Tune in as Sylvia and I discuss what certifications don’t teach you, how to connect with clients so they’ll be in for the long haul, and why it’s so dang hard for us entrepreneurs to stay focused (squirrel!). In this episode, Sylvia and I discuss: What Pilates studio and business owners need. Getting out of our comfort zone. Fear of rejection and the unknown. Sales are important – whether you like it or not. Why courage comes first. Staying focused as an entrepreneur. 3:00 – 7:00 - Sylvia’s background and her entrepreneurial journey 7:00 – 11:30 - What certifications don’t teach you 11:30 – 17:00 - Effective sales techniques and the importance of courage 17:00 – 23:00 - Truly connecting with your clients and prospective clients by being you 23:00 – 29:30 - The struggle to stay focused and how to stay on track 29:30 – 32:00 - The Rapid Five

We’re on a good one, Healthpreneurs! Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast, where we have yet another incredible game-changing guest on the show. Meet Samantha Skelly, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, best-selling author, and emotional eating expert extraordinaire. Samantha created her business, Hungry for Happiness, after going through her own personal battle with food and self-image, and has since committed herself to revolutionizing the weight loss industry. She has transformed the lives of thousands by aiding them through the process of self-discovery and awareness so they identify and overcome the root causes of their struggles. Fear is scary, but is even scarier if you let it totally rule your actions (or inactions). Rather, Samantha challenges us to recognize the existence of fear, but also the existence of courage within ourselves. Tune in to hear how Samantha reaches for her own courage personally and in business, helps others do the same, and how she has stood for what she believes (and doesn’t!) to build her business and rock-solid tribe. In this episode, Samantha and I discuss: Samantha’s desire to create a world where women don’t feel compelled to diet. Speaking onstage and addressing fears. Life as a “full-time wedgie.” Differentiating yourself from the rest. Putting a price on changing someone’s life. Mentorship and expecting others to invest when you haven’t. 3:00 – 8:00 - Samantha’s own journey that lead her to create Hungry for Happiness 8:00 – 12:30 - Fear and courage and letting both exist 12:30 – 18:00 - Tribe-building through intimacy, connection, and existing relationships 18:00 – 25:00 - Knowing what you stand for and what you stand against 25:00 – 35:00 - Better health/life equals better business; invest in yourself 35:00 – 37:30 - The Rapid Five

Welcome to another solo episode of The Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’m going to be talking about fame vs. fortune, specifically on social media. Who has seen those typical highlight reel photos of nice cars and planes and wondered, “Yeah, but what does he actually do?” Or can you relate to posting flashy shots in hopes that Instagram fame will lead to fortune? It’s ok. Many of us have been there. But here’s the thing: Usually fortune comes before fame, so we should be focusing on creating a system for income generation that works first. So, if those pictures of you looking cool, famous, and successful aren’t actually making you any money, please reconsider what you’re doing with your time. And this isn’t to say that we can’t leverage social media to grow and expand our business. But it should come secondary to methodologies and systems that are predictable and effective. Tune in to finally crack the code of your business so you can create real-life fortune rather than chasing empty Insta-fame. 1:00 – 2:30 - The confusion of fame and fortune; social media traps 2:30 – 4:00 - Fame doesn’t usually come before fortune 4:00 – 6:00 - Proper way to leverage social media vs. just wasting time 6:00 – 8:00 - Focus on what matters and have your machine running first 8:00 – 11:30 Being rich vs. looking rich and taking a proven path that’ll work

This is it, Healthpreneurs! This is perhaps one of my favorite interviews to date, and I’m sure each of you are going to find that it’s a game-changer for you, too – no matter where you are in business. The theme of today’s show is MAGIC. And Shannon Graham, a transformative coach, author, and speaker, is about to turn your world around when he defines the new era of leadership. Shannon stomps on our culture’s current beliefs about hustle and grind and challenges us to instead step into our magic and lead by creating the biggest impact with the least effort. By doing this, Shannon finds that we create the space and time to continually grow and evolve our magic, thus further expanding our offering and value to the world. And why is the differentiation between operating with hustle and operating in our magic so important? Because it allows us to impact on a deeper level and leave a legacy that we’re proud of. Tune in as Shannon and I discuss his definition of magic and gifts, why he believes subtraction is key, and the pricing model for magic. We’ll also touch on ways to give when in financial overflow and the importance of connecting IRL (in real life). Everyone, I repeat, everyone needs to hear this interview – your business, your life, and the world depends on it. In this episode, Shannon and I discuss: The redefining of leadership that’s turning heads. The archaic idea of hustle and what the world needs now. Our legacy and how to make a true impact. Pricing our magic accordingly while creating space to serve everyone. The importance of “IRL” (in real life) connection and experiences. Self-doubt, endless possibilities, and communicating value. 4:00 – 12:00 - The new era of leadership and the definition of an expanded leader 12:00 – 20:00 - The magic, the gift, and the biggest impact from the least effort 20:00 – 27:00 - The legacy you leave behind, your lasting impact, and subtraction 27:00 – 39:00 - Creating magic, innovating magic, and the pricing that

It’s another beautiful day for listening to the Healthpreneur Podcast! Welcome back to the show. Today we have Dr. Akil Palanisamy giving us the lowdown on how he’s balanced his online and offline business. Dr. Akil is a Harvard-trained physician who practices integrative medicine and helps his clients heal from serious health conditions with compassion, insight, and in-depth knowledge. His book, “The Paleovedic Diet,” combines his expertise in Ayurveda with the Paleo diet, and he even had a beverage company that offered unique Ayurvedic blends. Now, Dr. Akil has moved into a business model that he loves which combines in-person connection and interaction with the freedom that comes with being online.

Today on the Healthpreneur Podcast we’re going to explore the world of JOGA. If you’ve never heard of JOGA, you’re going to learn all about it here with its founder, Jana Webb. Jana discovered that yoga wasn’t conducive to her athletic body, movement, and mental needs. From this realization, she created JOGA, a brand and practice that combines yoga with the movement, cadence, and flow that athletes require. She also discovered the importance of creating a business and a product that works; with results that speak for themselves. Jana has built a solid foundation with her brand. She discusses how she maintains alignment with her brand while organically growing her business and connecting with high-level teams to make JOGA a common and widely-accepted practice. She also gives real-talk about her entrepreneurial drive and accurately reminds us that “the hustle is real.” If you’re a Healthpreneur creating something wildly new in our space, this episode will provide you with some invaluable information. It is possible to provide the world with a new way to move, live, and thrive; you just need to have the foundational blocks in order. Jana has learned that resilience and hustle will propel you towards your goals and allow you to create things that no one ever thought possible.

Welcome back to the show, Healthpreneurs! Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Vince Luciani, a coach who has dedicated his practice to helping transform the lives of athletes beyond their sport. Although he works specifically with athletes, his teachings are valuable to anyone, especially entrepreneurs. Like athletes, entrepreneurs often identify themselves by what they do. However, Vince challenges this and encourages us, and his clients, to look deeper into who we really are – beyond the labels and the titles – so we can live happier and more fulfilled lives. If you find yourself identifying more with your profession than your self, this episode is for you. You’ll be able to jot down some questions to ask yourself to gain clarity and move closer to your personal and professional goals. By embarking on this journey towards self-discovery, Vince found that many things in his business “clicked” into place, and I think you will, too. In this episode, Vince and I discuss: The journey that led him to build his practice. The questions we should ask ourselves to live beyond our labels. The importance of awareness and clarity in sport and business. Human connection and free hugs. What’s left when everything is peeled away. 3:00 – 8:00 - Vince’s company and mission to help athletes reclaim their identity 8:00 – 14:30 - Happiness, awareness, fulfillment, and Vince’s own journey to self-discovery 14:30 – 25:00 - Attracting clients organically, honing in on your specialty, and letting go 25:00 – 34:00 - Social media pitfalls, the need for real human connection, and love 34:00 – 36:00 - The Rapid Five

Today we’re talking with Rachael Pontillo, an entrepreneur who helps women reclaim their skin, sense of Self, and world so they can love who they are and live their lives. This is no small feat, but Rachael is making it happen with her two thriving businesses.

By working with both the consumer and the professional, she’s making an impact by supporting both sides in their quest for skin health. Rachael became an entrepreneur by need. No local businesses understood or followed her integrative approach for holistic aesthetics, and she prioritized a lifestyle that allowed her to spend time with her family.

Welcome episode 99 of the Healthpreneur Podcast! In today’s solo episode, I’m going to shed some much-needed light on something that’ll ruin your business and reputation. I’m talking about sketchy, outdated sales tactics that leave your poor victim – I mean prospect – feeling bullied, pressured, and just plain uncomfortable. I love it when a telemarketer calls me during dinner...said no one, ever. So why use the sales techniques that you don’t like used on you, on your own clients?

Welcome, Healthpreneurs! I’m excited to bring an incredible interview to you today with the one and only Alicia Streger. Alicia built and sold a successful fitness business where she learned the nitty-gritty about one-on-one coaching, systems, and processes. Sick of trading dollars for hours, her business evolved to a group training model so she could live a healthier and happier life. Today, Alicia helps fitness pros build their businesses with strategies and tactics that get real results. With her tried and true systems, Alicia helps her clients live a life they love with time and financial freedom. When you hear Alicia, you can tell she’s fired up, passionate, and absolutely LOVING what she does. Alicia and I get into when she realized one-on-one coaching wasn’t going to work long-term. Many of us can relate to the stress and overwhelm (not to mention lack of workouts and diet!) that she experienced when she was training individual clients all day long. She realized that she needed to scale and create processes that would allow the business to flourish without her constant attention. This episode will greatly benefit any Healthpreneurs looking to grow their business while maintaining the love and passion behind their mission. Tune in and enjoy! In this episode, Alicia and I discuss: Scaling from one-on-one training to group training. Focusing on the client experience and working backwards to create processes.

What’s up Healthpreneurs, and welcome to another solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast! If you’re looking to up your communication game in your business or personal life, this one’s for you! The tip I’m going to give today is especially valuable if you’re a coach of any kind. The trick is to ask more and talk less. What? Talk less? You know us coaches...we love to talk! But sometimes over-talking – and over-giving advice (that’s a thing?) – can be detrimental to our clients and our relationship with them. In this episode, I’ll be revealing why that is, and what we should be doing to avoid overdependence, empower others to think for themselves, and help them figure out their own solutions. I’ll discuss how we can be better communicators by asking better questions and getting better answers.

What’s up, Healthpreneurs! It’s another awesome day on the Healthpreneur Podcast. Thank you for joining us! Today I’m going to tell the story of a terrible sales experience I had while visiting Morocco with my family. This experience was the epitome of what NOT to do if you want your customers walking away from a sale feeling good. Today’s topic is reciprocity. You may have heard that it can be a good thing, and that’s true. It can be. The problem arises when reciprocity is used to guilt or pressure someone into buying because they are made to feel like they “owe” you. Not nice. In today’s episode, I’m going to use my experience in Morocco to illustrate just how bad the sales tactic of reciprocity can be – so you can make sure you never do it in your own business. Tune in to find out the genuine ways to provide value to your audience so they are happy to become clients...and won’t want a refund later. 1:00 – 7:30 - Story: The worst buying experience in Morocco 7:30 – 9:00 – The problems with reciprocity: Guilt, remorse, regret 9:00 – 12:00 - Scarf story: Feeling like you owe something in return 12:00 – 14:00 - Reciprocity used for evil versus offering true value and respecting the client 14:00 – 16:00 - Leading by service without heavy-duty reciprocity 16:00 – 17:30 - The Seven Figure Health Business Blueprint makes business feel good

It’s another great day on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’m speaking with Dr. Lori Shemek, a best-selling author, radio show host, and weight loss expert. She holds a doctorate in Psychology, she is a certified Nutritional Consultant, and she’s also a certified Life Coach. Early in her career, Lori was a counselor. But when she realized how big an impact diet shifts made on her client’s health, she pursued something greater that married the two. Lori has made it her mission to help as many people as possible and spread the word about inflammation and its effects on overall health. Lori and I will reflect on her background and how she transitioned into what she is doing today. We’ll also discuss her two books and her experience with both traditional and self-publishing. Tune in if you want to write a book, if you’re curious about how to start podcasting, and if you want some pro-tips on how to consistently spread your message.

Welcome to episode 91 of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today, I’m chatting with Dr. Andra Campitelli about all things entrepreneurial naturopath (because you’ve got to be both!), and some things that are not so naturopathic – like Sour Jujubes and snuggling up next to your laptop. She says it best: “Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed.” Dr. Andi is a leading naturopath, media expert, educator, writer, and speaker, and she is well-received by clients for her practical, evidence-based, and down-to-earth care. She is the CEO, co-founder, and formulator of Plan C, a supplement produced because, well, no one likes a hangover. Tune in to hear Dr. Andi and I discuss how she has used public speaking to grow her business and establish her brand. She gives great insight on the need to redefine what “failure” means as an entrepreneur, and gives invaluable advice for those who are feeling uninspired or who aren’t seeing the results they want in their business. This is an excellent listen for Healthpreneurs who want to boost their client’s results and their business in the process. In this episode, Andra and I discuss: The work it takes to launch a business. Redefining failure. The need to protect yourself. Public speaking to build your business.

Happy Monday and welcome to another solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast! I hope you are having a great day, and guess what? It’s about to get a whole lot better because I’m going to teach you the three business models that will bleed your business dry. These three things will literally suck the life out of your business, especially if you don’t have a large following yet. Yes, you might see others successfully implementing these three models, but the key is to set up your predictable revenue first. Otherwise, you’ll spend time and money on launches, content, and organic marketing and...do you hear that? Crickets. By first focusing on your Perfect Client Pipeline, you’ll guarantee conversions so you don’t have to go insane hoping for the best from unpredictable models. I’m going to walk you through the three business models to avoid – at least until you’ve got steady, predictable revenue and can afford to explore these riskier and timelier models. Luckily, the Perfect Client Pipeline will eventually run and generate leads for you. Tune in to learn how to that point a whole lot sooner than if you work backwards and bleed out your business before it gets the chance to thrive. 2:00 – 8:30 - #1: Why launches will bleed your business 8:30 – 10:30 - Launches, summits, and the back-end work involved 10:30 – 14:30 - #2: Why content marketing will bleed your business 14:30 – 20:00 - The lag in traction time and the benefit of a good platform 20:00 – 23:30 - #3: Why spray and pray marketing doesn’t work 23:30 – 25:30 - The online training that’ll grow your business

Happy Friday, Healthpreneurs! Welcome to episode 89 of the Healthpreneur Podcast! To finish off the week with a bang we’ve got Daniele Hargenrader, author and founder of Diabetes Dominator.

She offers coaching services, an informational blog, online training courses, free resources, an online community, a Diabetes Empowerment Summit, and is an international speaker. As a nutritionist, diabetes and health coach, and certified personal trainer, she walks her clients through the Six Pillars of Total Health, which includes the mind as well as body. Today on the show, Daniele and I will discuss how she came on the scene and how she has grown her business into what it is today. We’ll chat about how she has kept herself accountable and on task, and why she believes mindfulness is a practice that must be cultivated for lasting success.

Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today on the podcast we have another incredible interview. I’ll be interviewing Lori Kennedy, RHN, the founder of The Wellness Business Hub and fellow Torontonian. When she worked full-time as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, she realized that she lacked the fundamental skills to start up and run a business – you know, the things they don’t teach you in school. After hard lessons learned and money spent on mentorship, growth, and knowledge, Lori has created a business that is changing the game for entrepreneurs in the health space who want to reclaim their time and take control of their business. Lori and I will be discussing her frustrations with one-on-one coaching, how her offering evolved to include group coaching, and why she believes everything starts with good copywriting. She’ll also dive into her first sales funnel and process, which is very much like the one she uses today. If you’re feeling burnt out by one-on-one coaching, need some tips to make more consistent income, or are looking for a way to transition into group coaching, this will be an extremely valuable episode for you. In this episode, Lori and I discuss: When 1-on-1 coaching doesn’t work. What happens when your process is streamlined. The two tiers of education. Copywriting to success.

Welcome to another fantastic day on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we’ve got another online health business Original Gangster in the house, Ben Greenfield. This is a fun episode because Ben and I have known each other for a while; he’s a health and human performance wiz, cranks out great content, and has hacked the back-end side of business. Not only is he super-cool from a business perspective, but he literally practices what he preaches.

Today on episode 82 of the Healthpreneur Podcast we’ve got Nicholas Bayerle, CEO of the Billion Dollar Body, in the house. Nicholas is an international speaker and coach, and was rated top 30 under 30 influencers. He’s had an incredible health transformation of his own, and now helps other men reach their ultimate state of health, power, and confidence. He has coached top CEOs and offers live events and a podcast show as well. Nicholas realized that it was easy to push health to the wayside when he launched his business, even though he was working in the health space. (Sound familiar?) When he realized that his health was directly correlated to his success, and he lacked a network of entrepreneurs to support and relate to in the process, The Billion Dollar Body was born as a solution. Nicholas was so fun to talk to because he is ambitious, sharp, and straightforward. He cuts to the chase when it comes to sales, numbers, and providing results. We discussed how entrepreneurs think and how this mindset can be geared towards health and wellness goals. We got into his business model and how it has evolved. He even revealed a surefire way to get your clients to realize the value of your offering. All entrepreneurs can benefit greatly from the truth-bombs Nicholas drops in this episode.

Happy Monday, Healthpreneurs! You know what that means—another solo round on the Healthpreneur Podcast! I hope you’re having a spectacular day. Get comfortable because I’m going to explain to you why coaching one-on-one is done. Out of style. History. Why is coaching one-on-one done? Well, for one, everyone who has done it knows that it is exhausting. You put in a bunch of hours, your clients don’t get fast results —and, best of all, you don’t make as much money as you could. Sounds like a lose-lose scenario to me, right? By group coaching you work less, make more, and your clients get better results, an accountability network, and lasting relationships. It’s an easy switch because, chances are, you are already going through a similar protocol with all or most of your existing one-on-one clients. I’m going to walk you through the steps to make group coaching the primary profit workhorse your business. The best part? It’s very simple. Just deliver on the back end once the system is in place.

Today for our solo round on the Healthpreneur Podcast I’m going to be talking about why comparison will kill your business. We’ve all done it. In business, and in life, it’s easy to compare ourselves, our journey, our business, our product, and our prices to others. But that’s a waste of time. No one is doing YOU like you are, and no one is offering what you are, either. It’s time to reclaim and recognize our magic. I’m going to talk about how you can make your way to the top. Hint: It takes mindset and a brand that is truly set apart from the rest. Comparison breeds self-doubt, uncertainty, and mediocrity, and until you let go of that, you’ll be stuck playing at the bottom with the rest. Today I’ll discuss how to let go of comparison to propel yourself to the top where you belong. 1:30 – 4:00 - Example of comparison and why it’s dangerous for business 4:00 – 6:00 - The mountain analogy: Why play at the bottom? 6:00 – 10:00 - Pricing, looking for proof, and owning the magic you possess 10:00 – 11:00 – Introspection, self-confidence, and believing in yourself 11:00 – 13:30 - Comparison is a waste of time 13:30 – 15:00 - Beloved Crystals and Yuri’s wife; realizing her product is worth more
