The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

Today for our solo round on the Healthpreneur Podcast I’m going to be talking about why comparison will kill your business. We’ve all done it. In business, and in life, it’s easy to compare ourselves, our journey, our business, our product, and our prices to others. But that’s a waste of time. No one is doing YOU like you are, and no one is offering what you are, either. It’s time to reclaim and recognize our magic.  

I’m going to talk about how you can make your way to the top. Hint: It takes mindset and a brand that is truly set apart from the rest. Comparison breeds self-doubt, uncertainty, and mediocrity, and until you let go of that, you’ll be stuck playing at the bottom with the rest. Today I’ll discuss how to let go of comparison to propel yourself to the top where you belong. 

1:30 – 4:00 - Example of comparison and why it’s dangerous for business 

4:00 – 6:00 - The mountain analogy: Why play at the bottom? 

6:00 – 10:00 - Pricing, looking for proof, and owning the magic you possess 

10:00 – 11:00 – Introspection, self-confidence, and believing in yourself 

11:00 – 13:30 - Comparison is a waste of time 

13:30 – 15:00 - Beloved Crystals and Yuri’s wife; realizing her product is worth more 

Today we’ve got an amazing episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast that dives into the mysterious world of subscription-based surprise-in-a-box business models. This episode reminds us of the importance of having a recurring-revenue business model for stable, predictable income – even if you’ve got other offerings.   

Today we are talking with Scott McCulloch, co-founder of The Vegan Kind, the largest vegan subscription box in the U.K., which he runs with his wife, Karris. With a background in business banking, a dangerous knack for Facebook and social media marketing, and a passion for change, Scott and his wife expanded The Vegan Kind at a rapid rate.  

This is a great episode because Scott offers stark honesty about the growing pains, inner workings, and strategic choices they made along the way to grow a wildly successful and purposeful business. Best of all, they’ve done this while maintaining the personality and soul of their overall mission. If you’re a Healthpreneur that wants insight on recurring-revenue business models, tips for lasting success, and outsourcing for sustaining growth, tune in! 

In this episode, Scott and I discuss:  

• The inspiration for his company The Vegan Kind and how it all began 
• How his company markets and creates brand awareness 
• Handling rapid growth and knowing when to outsource 

• Leveraging social media for marketing and connecting with clients  
• Skills for lasting success and the importance of getting an early start

Today I am back on the Healthpreneur podcast with another great interview. I’m going to be chatting with Tess Challis, an author, vegan chef, and “One Degree Coach.” Wondering what that means? Tune in!  

Tess is going through an interesting transition. At first, she was a vegan chef and known for her vegan recipes and cookbooks. Now, she is focusing on her new offering as a “One Degree Coach,” and has been inspired by successful people in the health space that are doing great things while making a killing. Tess has recognized that the entrepreneurial journey is a spiritual one that clearly depends on one’s self and mindset.  

We’ll be talking about how she pushed through struggle into a space of acceptance. We’ll touch on how her business has evolved recently through her realization that she could offer more and get more. If you’re looking to get into the coaching space or are wanting to up-level your offering and your income, this is a must-listen episode. On the personal side, there are a ton of insights that are critical for understanding the balance between entrepreneurship and the self.   

In this episode, Tess and I discuss:  

• Her excitement to learn and connect with successful people doing great things. 
• Her evolved offering to make more money and serve bigger.  
• Transitioning to a new brand, offering, and business model.

Today for our solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast I’m going to passionately explain why winning the lottery is for suckers. Confused? Let me explain.  

People use things like the lottery as an excuse for not being able to build their dream lives themselves. As though an escape from their current reality could only be achieved through simply being given the money. I have a big problem with that. 

I’m going to talk candidly (read: rant) about the journey vs. the destination, becoming a better version of yourself through business and service (not handouts and passivity), and why we Healthpreneurs must pave the way for ourselves and the world. This episode contains a critical wake-up call for anyone wishing their reality was different than what it is. My hope is that this episode inspires you to get back in the driver’s seat of your life and get moving towards a better you and a better future.  

1:00 – 3:30 - Recap on Yuri’s week and last week’s episode 

3:30 – 5:30 - Why winning the lottery is for suckers 

5:30 – 7:00 - Who you become in the process is the key

10:00 – 11:00 - Live a fulfilled life by putting in the work 

11:00 – 12:30 – What’s ahead and training opportunity

Today we’re on the 74th episode of the Healthprenuer Podcast. I am chatting with Aaron Hinde, sports chiropractor turned President and Co-Founder of LIFEAID, the beverage company that is the official sponsor of the CrossFit Games. I met Aaron five or six years ago, and man, how his company has scaled and succeeded since then! 

Aaron was inspired to start LIFEAID when he realized that all the energy drinks out there – while cool, sexy, hip, and perfectly-branded – are filled with junk and just plain bad for you. Makes sense, right? What’s cool is that, to this day, Aaron and his company haven’t budged on their commitment to clean, functional products. This integrity hasn’t gone unnoticed, and the numbers prove it.   

Through this growth, Aaron has learned some key lessons in hiring, “going big” (or not), cash flow, and ROI. He’s even made some game-changing realizations about himself as an entrepreneur and the people he brings on the team. This episode is for any entrepreneur looking to scale their business while maintaining the integrity and quality of their offering. Tune in for priceless nougats of business wisdom topped off with a morning routine that has Aaron prepped for more great things to come! 

In this episode, Aaron and I discuss:  

• The inspiration for LIFEAID and how they became the CrossFit Games official sponsor 
• Standing for quality and functionality from the very beginning  
• The challenges and successes when rapidly growing the company 

• How his role and hiring process has evolved over time 
• “Going big,” taking on investors, and cash flow for stockholders 
• The start-up struggle to stay focused on ROI

5:00 – 8:30 - The mindset during product development: Cool, sexy, hip, functional, and clean

11:00 – 14:30 - Success through a B2B offer, seeing the customer’s perspective, and teamwork

In addition to his Workout Finishers and Cardio Afterburn products, Mike is the author of the book “Rise and Hustle: Transform Your Life Physically, Personally, and Spiritually in Just 90 Seconds a Day.” He walks the walk because he has lost – and kept off – 115 pounds for over a decade.

Mike gives insider tips on crafting your “hook,” the value of feedback and surveys, and how relationships can transform your business.
