Mental Health, RECLAIMED. with Dr. Azi & Friends

When people know they are valued and cared for, they go the extra mile. Without enthusiastic and dedicated people, your business goals will remain unachievable.

Our guest for today understands the value of putting your people first. In this episode, I’m so excited to share with you my conversation with Kerry the COO of MKG Marketing!

Kerry, who used to work in a crazy culture where she’s burnt out and felt replaceable, realized that the place she was in was not the life she wanted. She believes that people are first and that your expertise matters.

Join me in this purpose and value-driven conversation as Kerry shares her expertise on how she crafted her company around the values that she believes in most! She also talks about why you should put your people first!

We all start somewhere. In the case of our guest today, Jyotsna Ramachandran, it was self-publishing a book written by ghostwriters. Determined to find another source of income, she opted to be independent from publishing houses-- which would eventually become the catalyst for starting her own full blown business.

From employee to employer, Jyotsna joins us today to talk about her journey in entrepreneurship-- how she built a business from her relevant network and created a streamline way for authors around the world to self-publish.

Kicking bad habits is never easy-- Laurie Lewis knows exactly this feeling from when she kicked sugar almost 20 years ago. Growing up, Laurie maintained a very midwestern American diet, totally opposite to her new palette for bitter greens.

With her life now as an intermittent fasting coach, she’s always been a big advocate for the diet since it helped her through her own time with menopause. Since then, she’s been spreading the word to help women going through the same thing, hopefully providing the solution for them to overcome the weight, emotional, and mental issues that come with this giant hormonal shift in our bodies.

When COVID hit this past Spring, my dormant anxiety and insomnia woke up - full force. After a few nights of medication-induced deep sleep and days filled with unwanted withdrawal symptoms, I began to wonder if there was a better way.

What I discovered is a complete and total miracle. I would call it a drug, but as today's guest - Dr. Alan Flashman, MD, (Pediatrician and Psychiatrist) explains, it isn't actually a 'drug' at all.

Cannabis. Something that I never would have considered in a responsible treatment protocol has become a staple in my daily self care routine, and I've never felt mentally, emotionally, or physically better in my life.

As Dr. Flashman explains, I am not alone. Cannabis is being used in the successful treatment of PTSD, with anxiety symptoms, for Autism-associated behaviours in children, and other critical capacities. 

He shares an overview of Cannabis from a scientific perspective, why it has been illegal and controversial for so long, and what a responsible and compassionate treatment plan can look like that includes Cannabis.

In this episode, Elisheva Hudson speaks about the power of story telling, and how you can share your story with the world in a way that resonates.

Elisheva studied filmmaking in university, and over the past several years, has found a way to utilize her creative passions and abilities to tell the stories of other creative entrepreneurs. She shares about the value of story telling, and how one of the best things that a brand can do to connect with its audience is to TELL THE STORY of the people behind the brand.

You'll also hear about Elisheva's journey into entrepreneurship, as well as how I (Azi) first met Elisheva. Elisheva took part in my 12-Week program early on in 2020.

When I first heard about her business, I was SO excited to connect with her because of my own personal connection to film and video. You'll hear all about that in this episode, as well as some of the lessons I've learned working closely with an entrepreneur in this field over the past sixteen years.

A lot of my students and clients share their fears and anxieties with me around shifting out of being an employee and into being an entrepreneur. In this episode, you'll hear about a conversation with a close friend that I had over 15 years ago that gave me a helpful perspective when I was experiencing these same concerns. 

There's a lot to speak about when it comes to entrepreneurship. What's on your mind?
