One of my favorite parts of the podcast is building a network and connecting with amazing individuals who inspire and motivate me time after time. Jay Hanagan is one of those individuals. Introduced by a mutual friend, I knew Jay was a must for the Unbeaten Path. Jay was enjoying an excellent corporate career, and then Jay’s company got acquired. Long story short, Jay took a severance package, and he had a decision to make. Go find a similar job at a different company, or take the time to set goals, better yourself, and help others. Jay chose the latter of the two. Severed life was launched as a Facebook Group in order for Jay to hold himself accountable by all his Facebook friends following him along the way. It turns out he loved it and was inspiring people to better themselves as well. During all of this Jay decided he wasn’t going back to corporate and he was going to start his own company. It is basically the exact opposite of his previous career, and he is letting people watch as he is figuring it out along the way.

Travis Marrow is the founder of Topoglow Granola. Travis had a successful career in the Biotech industry, making a great living, but eventually had a desire for more. He had a few life-changing moments that led him to make the leap. One of those moments was on a plane while he was traveling to China for work. A random conversation with the passenger next to him changed his life. This is a special episode as Travis is the show’s first listener turned guest. He first reached out to me about a year ago when he was still working in Biotech and since then has started Topoglow and it is now available nationwide (See link to the website below and order some granola). Topoglow Granola is handmade, in small batches, with only 100% premium organic ingredients. They thoughtfully source their ingredients from local suppliers and small farms whenever possible to create a uniquely phenomenal granola, just like the naturally phenomenal alpenglow their granola is inspired by. Every batch of our granola is hand crafted by their master granolasseur who takes the time to ensure that every oat is beautifully baked.
