Chrissy Bellman's journey is one of remarkable transformation and entrepreneurial spirit. A corporate dropout with no prior engineering background, in 2016 Chrissy defied the odds by turning a random idea into the revolutionary LĒVO, the world's first oil infuser with multiple use cases.

Breaking new ground in the kitchen appliance industry, LĒVO created a brand new category, much like air fryers did, offering consumers a unique and innovative way to infuse oils with herbs, spices, or fruits. Despite initial doubts and criticism, Chrissy's perseverance and vision paid off, propelling LĒVO into an 8-figure business.

Chrissy's story is a testament to the power of determination and innovation, proving that with creativity and drive, even the craziest ideas can become groundbreaking realities. Her 30 trips to China as part of her entrepreneurial journey highlight her commitment to bringing LĒVO's vision to life on a global scale.

**Guest: Jonathan Clark**

Jonathan is committed to helping others who feel stagnant in life, believe that they can achieve more than where they currently are by expressing and sharing their gifts and talents through business, but don’t know the right path to take. 

Jonathan came from very humble beginnings in a small Alabama town to becoming a growing small business owner, growth strategist, and business coach with close to ten years of experience, leading a small team within the architecture and engineering industry to seven figure financial success. He has helped many aspiring business owners start and has helped current small businesses expand in the industries of construction, home services, consulting, insurance, cinematography, hospitality, e-commerce, and many more. He enjoys reading other works from renowned self-help authors and entrepreneurs.

Jonathan believes that everyone has the seeds of greatness on the inside of them and needs just a little bit of nurturing to grow into the person and business owner they know they can be. He was inspired to write this book because of his early struggles in entrepreneurship before becoming successful. He realized that there is a lack of accessible mentors and coaches which can help minimize the numbers of mistakes, open the mind to new ways of thinking, and generate a productive and positive mindset towards overcoming challenges in business. Jonathan intends to be an active part of the solution.
