Maybe you can see a disconnect between industries and think you might have the answer!

Have you ever wondered how you can create a business that is in alignment with your passions AND continues to be profitable?

In this episode of the Fearless Practitioners Podcast, I chat with Ann Kent of Peas and Hoppiness about the magic that happens when you follow your passions and combine that into what you do for a living.

Ann is a farm-girl-turned-dietitian who helps busy families get dinner on the table, picky eater approved!

Ann grew up on a farm in Central Kansas, where she learned how to hold a paring knife and make a roast from her mom.

When she learned about a profession dedicated to food, she knew it was for her; she started her college career in dietetics & nutrition and never looked back. She loved learning how different foods and nutrients fuel the body in different ways.

After college, she worked as a diabetes educator in an endocrinology clinic and learned (and then taught) patients how to use food as medicine. It was there she began to understand that food exists in 3 separate silos: agriculture (how it’s grown), food (how it’s prepared and eaten), and nutrition (how it nourishes our bodies).

Thus was born the blog: Peas and Hoppiness, with a mission to unite these three silos: to teach my fellow humans how food is grown, the science behind different eating patterns, and how to make “healthy” food actually taste good.

• Combining your passions into a profitable business.
• The magic of unlocking your ideal client can be the key to unlocking your business idea.
• Time blocking to help you be successful and manage your time.

Maybe you have thought about writing a book, but your plate is already overflowing with all the things you are doing while you are building your practice.  How would you feel if you knew you could get your thoughts down on paper and into a publishable draft in 16 weeks!!

In today’s show, we chat with Emily Crookston about what it’s like working with a ghostwriter and how she has collaborated and helped numerous providers build up their brand through writing a book.

Emily Crookston is the ghostwriter for rebels, renegades, and mavericks. She helps busy professionals—who are long on ideas, but short on time—write books, articles, and blog posts. As the Owner and Decider of All Things at the Pocket PhD, Emily partners with individuals and brands to make the boring or complex sound spectacular. She draws out her clients’ most audacious, even disruptive, ideas or fiercely original stories and stokes the sparks until their thoughts spread like wildfire. Her work has appeared in SmartBrief, the Huffington Post, Inc.com, and Entrepreneur.

Emily is also a former philosophy professor, speaker, and podcast guest. When she’s not writing intensely, she’s most likely practicing yoga intensely. She lives for coffee shops that play great music to write to and desserts topped with *real* whipped cream
