Dr Deanna Minich - founder of Food & Spirit, host of The Detox Summit & author - joins us to talk about how she founded her wellness business, keeping her authentic voice and expanding to creating coaching certifications for health practitioners. 

Always insightful, honest and open, Deanna talks about...

- What drove her to start Food & Spirit, and the 7 health principles she developed & built her business around

- How to keep your message about health & wellness pure, genuine and true to your core values

- Why doing surveys & quizzes to understand your customer & audience's EXPERIENCE gives you the edge as a business owner

- The importance of looking WITHIN for the right answers in business, as well as accepting & seeking outside guidance

On the show's FIRST interview with a business expert we are joined by Dave Ruel of daveruel.com - the self-titled lifestyle entrepreneur and an advisor to many health business owners. 

(Adult Language Warning: there's plenty of that in this show, so consider yourself warned. Use headphones if there are childrens around you!)

We're talking about:

- The importance of productivity and how to keep your focus for maximum output

- Masterminding, networking and connecting with fellow experts for accelerated growth of your business

- How Dave managed to build & grow his health business - The Muscle Cook - to a huge brand and release a cookbook that STILL sells today (years after he first launched it). 

- Why there is NO shortcut to success, and how to eliminate the idea of "hacking" your way to success. 

Side note on that last point: After we'd wrapped up this interview, Dave actually encouraged me to allow myself the time and grace to work on, and build, this podcast.... for 2-3 YEARS.

That's the sort of long-term thinking and latitude you should allow yourself - even though you should expect results much faster than that if you use his Productive Action Plan.

In this very first episode we're talking about how adopt the right mindset needed to start an online health business - and four agreements that anyone must make in order to build something that matters and create change in their life. 

You'll find that these are the same agreements that you'd probably like to hear your clients, patients and customers make before they embark on their own journey to greater health - and these four agreements are:

1. I agree to build my competency through action - not knowledge, theory or contemplation

2. I agree to forfeit my reliance on the need for comfort

3. I agree to maintain and preserve my dreams and goals despite reality - today and in the future

4. I agree to the inherent risk of trying something new
