From butter tart-fuelled marathon talk to CrossFit competitions across Europe, this episode of the open house dives deep with Megan Marchildon, the founder of MegaMindful. Megan shares her journey from growing up in Texas and competing as a high-level track athlete, to discovering veganism on a beef farm in England, and eventually helping build one of downtown Midland’s most unique wellness-focused restaurants.

The conversation covers entrepreneurship during COVID, the dream behind lifestyle medicine, the realities of running a small business, CrossFit culture, local community building, and why supporting local businesses matters more than ever. Also: butter tart strategy, marathon suffering, and why Ben may or may not survive a 15 butter tart challenge.
