An interview with Erin Nicole, CEO and Founder of Move Happy®

Businesses are starting to realize that they should care about their employees, but we've got a lot of work to do.  A lot of growth in that area, a lot of professionals needing to take responsibility for their teams. If your employee works a third of their life for your organization or work, then a lot of their time is spent there.  So you should care about their mental health, their mental well being....

An interview with Dr. Elizabeth Markle and Dr. Ben Emmert-Aronson, Co-Founders of Open Source Wellness

There's nothing rocket science about physical movement, eating some vegetables, practicing some mindfulness.  Really, in our experience, the active ingredient, the thing that helps people get traction and transformation in their health, their well being, in their lives, is about community.

An interview with Rick Brush, CEO of Wellville

If we want the kind of outcomes that we say we want, the only way to achieve those is to collaborate and to do it with a longer-term focus.  The short-term fix for an illness might be writing a prescription, the long-term strategy for greater wellbeing improvement is about reshaping communities. A lot of what we're doing with our collaboratives is really pointing further upstream and pointing further into the future. And having those communities come together around what they care about and what they want to achieve over the long haul.

An interview with Mike Alpert, former President and CEO of the Claremont Club and current COO of Smart Health Clubs

I think those that focus on doing the right things and having the right blend of social activities and physical activities in their club are going to reap rewards like they never thought they would when this is over. You have to have it in your blood that your club is more than a place to just come and sweat.

An interview with Jacki Quinlan, Director of Community Outreach at Sports Backers

Our warriors are out there recruiting folks to get moving and leading these free fitness classes. They are literally on the frontlines. We have classes in Gilpin Court, where no one else is out leading classes. There's no gyms. There's no, you know, healthy place to go get food. That's where our warriors are.  We go where really no one else has gone to bring physical activity right to the communities that need them the most.

I started my residency and did my fellowship from 97-03 and during that time, realized how critical physical activity was. And we hear it described as the miracle drug. And I feel like every day that's hammered home more and more. So that had to be really at the forefront of our discussions.
