Marni on the Move

In this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Carl Daikeler, co-founder and CEO of BODi (formerly Beachbody) and one of the original pioneers of at-home fitness.

More than 25 years ago, Carl saw an opportunity to bring structured, results-driven fitness into people’s homes—long before streaming platforms, wearables, or social media made it mainstream. That vision led to the creation of iconic programs like P90X and helped define an entirely new model for how people train outside the gym.

In our conversation, Carl shares how direct-response marketing shaped the way fitness programs were built, distributed, and scaled; how the industry evolved from VHS to digital platforms; and how consumer priorities have shifted from aesthetics to healthspan, longevity, and sustainability.

We also discuss the evolution of fitness programming through systems like Power 90, the introduction of BODi, and the launch of P90X Generation Next. Carl explains why accessibility, consistency, and community are now central to long-term success—and why strength and core training remain foundational for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

This episode offers a thoughtful look at where modern fitness began, how it has evolved, and where it’s headed next.

The Secret to Not Giving Up When Your Mind Wants To Quit! It happens to the best of us, whether you are in the middle miles of a marathon, on an entrepreneurial founder journey, or mid career! There is a moment, an inflection point, a small nuance where you question your why, your mission, why you started, where you are going and you need to shift gears, dig deep, reframe and get yourself out of that rabbit hole. I’ve interviewed 400+ founders and Olympians here on the Marni On The Move podcast and 99% of them have been in this moment, including myself with three companies! In this video, I break down what’s really happening in that almost-quit moment — and the one shift that keeps you in it when everything in your head says “stop.” If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, exhausted, or on the edge of walking away — this one’s for you.

Happy New Year!

In this episode of Marni On The Move, Marni is joined by Jordan Glenn, Head of Science at SuppCo for a conversation on trust, transparency, and personalization in the supplement space.

In this Monday Moves episode, Marni Salup welcomes listeners into 2026 with a grounded reset focused on movement, momentum, and alignment.

She reflects on the importance of pausing to assess before pushing forward, shares context on her background and the evolution of Marni On The Move, and offers a high-level look at the work she’s been doing behind the scenes alongside the podcast. Without diving into resumes or over-explaining, Marni connects those experiences to one core insight: alignment beats hustle every time.

The episode also touches on the unexpected challenges of 2025—including personal upheaval and injury—and how endurance sport principles helped guide recovery, resilience, and forward motion.

Marni closes by setting the tone for what Monday Moves will be in 2026: a weekly space for lessons drawn from endurance sports, wellness, business, and life—focused on practical takeaways, steady progress, and showing up even when the plan changes.

This episode is about resetting with intention, creating momentum without forcing it, and using endurance as a framework for life and work.

In this episode, Marni covers:

Why pausing to assess creates momentum, not stagnation

A brief backstory on her career in brand strategy, media, and endurance sports

What she’s been building behind the scenes alongside the podcast

The role of alignment in business, training, and life decisions

Lessons from navigating a challenging 2025 season

Injury, recovery, and returning to running

Why she’s sharing more of her journey on YouTube

What Monday Moves will focus on throughout 2026

Brands, people, and communities referenced:

InsideTracker

Jesse Itzler and Runningman

Dr. Sonali Lal

Listener takeaways:

If you don’t pause to assess, you repeat patterns instead of building momentum

Consistency matters more than having a perfect plan

Alignment beats hustle—every time

You don’t need all the answers to move forward; you need structure

Recovery and growth are not linear

Looking ahead:

In 2026, Monday Moves will continue as a weekly anchor—covering:

Running, triathlon, and cycling culture and events

Wellness trends and performance tools (what’s real vs. hype)

Endurance sport principles applied to leadership, business, and life

In this episode of the Marni On The Move podcast, Marni Salup syncs up with Terry Chang and Dr. Ulrike Kaunzner, co-founders of Two Moons Health, for an in-depth conversation on seed cycling, cycle syncing, and hormone awareness through a practical, science-informed lens. The discussion begins with a clear overview of seed cycling, what it is, how it works, and why this  approach to hormonal support are resonating with so many women today.

Terry and Dr. Kaunzner share the inspiration behind building Two Moons Health and the gaps they saw in women’s health education and care that led them to create a more accessible and supportive solution. The conversation explores how hormones shift throughout the menstrual cycle, with particular focus on PMS, why symptoms can look different from person to person, and why normalization should never mean dismissal. Marni and her guests discuss the benefits of seed cycling products, the challenges and opportunities within the women’s health space, and the importance of responsible education and transparency. They also dive into the role of community in women’s health, why shared experience matters, and how connection can drive awareness and empowerment.

The founders share their own personal health practices and what they’ve learned from navigating hormonal health in real life. The episode also explores common hormonal health protocols, when they may be helpful, and why personalization is key. Practical advice is offered for women who want to become more aware of their hormonal patterns, including how to track cycles, understand symptoms, and know when to seek additional medical support. The conversation includes guidance on hormone testing, how to use data as information rather than judgment, and why tracking can be especially valuable for women experiencing PMS or hormonal shifts. The episode also touches on hormonal education for teenagers and the importance of early awareness. The conversation concludes with the vision for Two Moons Health and how the brand plans to continue supporting women through education, intentional nutrition, and community-building

On this episode of  Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Robby Sansom, Co-Founder and CEO of Force of Nature—a company at the forefront of the regenerative agriculture movement and redefining what responsible meat production looks like.

In this episode, we unpack the real impact of conventional farming, the hidden costs behind cheap food, and why regenerative agriculture is emerging as a powerful solution—for soil health, animal welfare, human nutrition, and the planet. Robby breaks down how Force of Nature partners directly with ranchers who are rebuilding ecosystems from the ground up, and why transparency and consumer education are essential to fixing our broken food system.

We also talk about navigating food labels and marketing claims, the nutritional benefits of regeneratively raised meat, the realities of sourcing and logistics, and how everyday food choices can support ethical practices without compromising access or quality.

This is a conversation about food, health, values, and the future—and why the way we eat matters more than we think.
