Kim Dunwoody started at the gym as an athlete and was quickly taken in by the atmosphere. The intensity, the challenge, the pursuit of excellence. The honesty, patience and grit needed to attain mastery of the sport. CrossFit became her North Star in who she wanted to be.  After half a year or so as a member, she asked if I could start an internship. Five years later, Kim, along side Rick Tomicic, is the new owner of Windsor CrossFit.  The gym changed her life, and she consistently wants to encourage the same kind of change in the athletes around her. She watches people come in on shaky, uncertain legs, and in a handful of weeks they are new masters of themselves.

Dave Feidner is a guy who discovered his purpose in life is to help build great companies, a passion discovered while building a network of international companies and obsessing about how to help entrepreneurs and get leaders to work together. HIs own entrepreneurial leap came from convincing the family owners of a large US business to let him take them global, which led to many years living and working in Europe, Latin America and Canada, launching and building a dozen companies into a global organization with hundreds of millions in revenue and thousands of employees. When a venture firm came along, he joined with them to buy out the family, and later sold to a large PE firm. During the torturous transition out,  Dave kept finding entrepreneurs who needed help, and discovered EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), the cure for business disease! Now he's on a journey to help build 100 great companies over the next 10 years.

Kerri Dunwoody is a language enthusiast who encourages anyone to practice a second language to open them up to new cultures, new ideas and new ways of seeing the world. She has a degree from the University of Windsor in Communications, Media and Film and attempted to obtain a minor in Spanish studies but realized this was not the best avenue to reach fluency. Due to a huge gap in the market, she had to teach herself the language through books, online and with local Spanish speakers. While studying Spanish, she also took an interest in French, Arabic and American Sign Language among others. In 2015 she opened Spectrum Spanish Tutoring  as a way to deal with this gap and help others check off one thing from their bucket list as well as helping foster relationships between the English and Spanish speaking communities.

A gut disorder does not have to be a life sentence. Our talents, passion, love, hopes and desires get buried deep within the chaos of a hectic life when we don't feel our best. This resonates all too well with Neviana as she, too, knows the pain. Getting closer to self-discovery and finding food freedom has been the biggest gift Neviana has given herself, and the important people in her life. Not only has this transformation dramatically improved her health, it has changed the way she perceives life as a mother, wife, daughter and overall human being.  Today she helps women find long lasting freedom through their emotions specifically for gut issues and their relationship to food. 

She is also the owner of an award winning vegetarian restaurant called Carrots n Dates.
