Today I am super excited to introduce you to a great friend of mine. Her name is Shawna Kaminski, and I was introduced to her when I joined my first Mastermind group. I was struggling for three years with my online business, I finally decided to get a coach, and in addition to getting some amazing guidance I was introduced to a bunch of fantastic people—including Shawna.

Shawna is a fellow Canadian who is crushing it in the health and wellness space. She builds information products and she is going to share with us exactly how and why one of her first products took off, which helped her become super successful. Oh, and this is actually her second career. She was a school teacher for twenty years before she started in the online health and wellness space.

Shawna was a guest fitness expert on Spike TV’s Gym Rescue, she has authored many articles in local and national publications, and she was a lead instructor for Fit Body Boot Camp University. She also helped create their curriculum. She’s got two children and a one-eyed rescue dog, and she is going to share some nuggets with us that will make a huge difference in the way you look at and run your business.

In this episode, Shawna and I discuss: 

• The ROI of coaching. 
• Leveraging and repurposing content. 
• The value of relationships. 
• Outsourcing. 
• Working across all social media platforms. 
• Building a better mousetrap.

We are back with another fantastic episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today, we’ve got a great interview with Sarah Anne Stewart. This is a really fun interview, you won’t want to miss it. We just had a super interesting conversation that is, of course, packed with nuggets of wisdom from Sarah.

Sarah actually got into the wellness space because her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He made the choice to fight back with alternative medicine and was cancer free within seven months, and is still cancer free to this day. That was what made Sarah really dedicate her life to wellness.

Sarah helps people live happier, healthier lives through a unique method of mindfulness that supports weight loss without crash dieting. This initially started as a one-on-one physical business, but she has since moved online. She’s going to talk to us about the transition she has made, as well as how she has been able to tell her story and use that to inspire others and serve them in the best way possible. 

This episode will give you a lot of insight into how you can really share and connect with your audience in a deep, meaningful way that benefits everyone involved, including you.

In this episode, Sarah and I discuss: 

• Sarah’s various professional and personal transformations. 
• “Imposter syndrome”
• Copywriting and storytelling. 
• The irony of burnt out health professionals. 
• Judgement—or a lack thereof. 
• The value of networking and meeting with other entrepreneurs.

Today, we’re going to be diving deep and talking about some really cool topics with JR Burgess. If you’ve never heard of JR, he is the CEO of Rejuv Medical and MedFit, which is based out of Minnesota. They’ve got a brick-and-mortar facility as well as an online presence.

JR is doing a bunch of innovative stuff with stem cells and prolotherapy types of healing modalities to help people who might have no other options. The really interesting thing about JR is that he was a professional rugby player for a long time and he has incorporated that athletic mindset—along with many other lessons from his journey—into his business.

If you’re an athlete or you work with athletes, I think this episode will really connect a lot of dots for you. There’s something about that athletic mindset that really becomes a part of you for life, and we’re going to talk about the benefits of that and how to really utilize that in your business and in your life. Even I had a few big “a-ha” moments in this episode, so I’d highly recommend tuning in and listening to what JR has to say.

In this episode, JR and I discuss: 

• The innovative components of JR’s practice. 
• Stories of drugs, alcohol and addiction. 
• The pros of hiring an athlete. 

• The journey from a 1,000 to 6,000 to 28,000 square foot facility. 
• Some common challenges with cash-based medicine. 
• Being an elite communicator.
