The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

Welcome to another solo episode of The Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’m going to be talking about fame vs. fortune, specifically on social media. Who has seen those typical highlight reel photos of nice cars and planes and wondered, “Yeah, but what does he actually do?” Or can you relate to posting flashy shots in hopes that Instagram fame will lead to fortune? 

It’s ok. Many of us have been there. But here’s the thing: Usually fortune comes before fame, so we should be focusing on creating a system for income generation that works first. So, if those pictures of you looking cool, famous, and successful aren’t actually making you any money, please reconsider what you’re doing with your time.  

And this isn’t to say that we can’t leverage social media to grow and expand our business. But it should come secondary to methodologies and systems that are predictable and effective. Tune in to finally crack the code of your business so you can create real-life fortune rather than chasing empty Insta-fame.  

1:00 – 2:30 - The confusion of fame and fortune; social media traps 

2:30 – 4:00 - Fame doesn’t usually come before fortune 

4:00 – 6:00 - Proper way to leverage social media vs. just wasting time  

6:00 – 8:00 - Focus on what matters and have your machine running first  

8:00 – 11:30 Being rich vs. looking rich and taking a proven path that’ll work 

This is it, Healthpreneurs! This is perhaps one of my favorite interviews to date, and I’m sure each of you are going to find that it’s a game-changer for you, too – no matter where you are in business. The theme of today’s show is MAGIC. And Shannon Graham, a transformative coach, author, and speaker, is about to turn your world around when he defines the new era of leadership. 

Shannon stomps on our culture’s current beliefs about hustle and grind and challenges us to instead step into our magic and lead by creating the biggest impact with the least effort. By doing this, Shannon finds that we create the space and time to continually grow and evolve our magic, thus further expanding our offering and value to the world.  

And why is the differentiation between operating with hustle and operating in our magic so important? Because it allows us to impact on a deeper level and leave a legacy that we’re proud of. Tune in as Shannon and I discuss his definition of magic and gifts, why he believes subtraction is key, and the pricing model for magic. We’ll also touch on ways to give when in financial overflow and the importance of connecting IRL (in real life). Everyone, I repeat, everyone needs to hear this interview – your business, your life, and the world depends on it.   

In this episode, Shannon and I discuss: 

• The redefining of leadership that’s turning heads. 
• The archaic idea of hustle and what the world needs now.  
• Our legacy and how to make a true impact. 

• Pricing our magic accordingly while creating space to serve everyone.  
• The importance of “IRL” (in real life) connection and experiences. 
• Self-doubt, endless possibilities, and communicating value.  

4:00 – 12:00 - The new era of leadership and the definition of an expanded leader 

12:00 – 20:00 - The magic, the gift, and the biggest impact from the least effort 

20:00 – 27:00 - The legacy you leave behind, your lasting impact, and subtraction 

27:00 – 39:00 - Creating magic, innovating magic, and the pricing that

Today on the Healthpreneur Podcast we’re going to explore the world of JOGA.  If you’ve never heard of JOGA, you’re going to learn all about it here with its founder, Jana Webb.  Jana discovered that yoga wasn’t conducive to her athletic body, movement, and mental needs.  From this realization, she created JOGA, a brand and practice that combines yoga with the movement, cadence, and flow that athletes require.  She also discovered the importance of creating a business and a product that works; with results that speak for themselves.  

Jana has built a solid foundation with her brand. She discusses how she maintains alignment with her brand while organically growing her business and connecting with high-level teams to make JOGA a common and widely-accepted practice. She also gives real-talk about her entrepreneurial drive and accurately reminds us that “the hustle is real.” 

If you’re a Healthpreneur creating something wildly new in our space, this episode will provide you with some invaluable information. It is possible to provide the world with a new way to move, live, and thrive; you just need to have the foundational blocks in order.  Jana has learned that resilience and hustle will propel you towards your goals and allow you to create things that no one ever thought possible.  As an entrepreneur in the health space, I can really relate to Jana’s passion and perseverance, and I think you will, too.

Welcome back to the show, Healthpreneurs! Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Vince Luciani, a coach who has dedicated his practice to helping transform the lives of athletes beyond their sport. Although he works specifically with athletes, his teachings are valuable to anyone, especially entrepreneurs.  

Like athletes, entrepreneurs often identify themselves by what they do. However, Vince challenges this and encourages us, and his clients, to look deeper into who we really are – beyond the labels and the titles – so we can live happier and more fulfilled lives.  

If you find yourself identifying more with your profession than your self, this episode is for you. You’ll be able to jot down some questions to ask yourself to gain clarity and move closer to your personal and professional goals. By embarking on this journey towards self-discovery, Vince found that many things in his business “clicked” into place, and I think you will, too.  

In this episode, Vince and I discuss: 

• The journey that led him to build his practice. 
• The questions we should ask ourselves to live beyond our labels. 
• The importance of awareness and clarity in sport and business.  

• Human connection and free hugs.  
• What’s left when everything is peeled away.  

3:00 – 8:00 - Vince’s company and mission to help athletes reclaim their identity  

8:00 – 14:30 - Happiness, awareness, fulfillment, and Vince’s own journey to self-discovery

What’s up, Healthpreneurs! Welcome to another incredible episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast with yet another amazing and inspiring guest. Today we’re talking with Rachael Pontillo, an entrepreneur who helps women reclaim their skin, sense of Self, and world so they can love who they are and live their lives.  

This is no small feat, but Rachael is making it happen with her two thriving businesses. One is a private skin health coaching practice, and the other is the Nutritional Aesthetics Alliance, which works with skincare professionals and aestheticians. By working with both the consumer and the professional, she’s making an impact by supporting both sides in their quest for skin health.  

Rachael became an entrepreneur by need. No local businesses understood or followed her integrative approach for holistic aesthetics, and she prioritized a lifestyle that allowed her to spend time with her family. Tune in to hear how Rachael created an online business around her lifestyle, what she’s learned along the way, and why knowing her “WHY” changed it all.  

In this episode, Rachael and I discuss: 

• Bringing something brand new to the market vs. finding a market that’s “warm.” 
• Building a business around your lifestyle and methodologies.  
• A product launch gone wrong and what she learned from it.  

• Human connection and its value in a digital world.  
• Knowing your “WHY” and building your avatar.  
• Why neglecting your numbers will damage your business more than you know.
