This is episode 47 of the Healthpreneur Podcast, and today we are going to be talking with Kelly Bejelly! Kelly is the CEO and co-founder of 20 Dishes, which is a really cool meal planning recipe app that helps people plan out healthy meals and cook them in the most efficient way possible.

In addition to helping people save time and stay healthy with 20 Dishes, Kelly runs a popular grain-free food blog called “A Girl Worth Saving.” She develops all the recipes, writes all the posts, and takes all the pictures. Kelly is also the author of The Paleo Eats Cookbook: 111 Comforting Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, and Dairy-Free Recipes for the Foodie in You. 

So, with all that going on, you’re probably waiting for me to list off all the credentials Kelly has. Here’s the cool thing—she has no background in nutrition. She happens to be a great cook and she has a passion for learning. So if you’ve ever felt limited because you don’t have a lot of degrees and certifications, give this interview a listen. This is inspiring stuff and it just goes to show that if you have a passion for something, there’s really no limit to what you can accomplish. 

In this episode, Kelly and I discuss: 

• Kelly’s journey through 30 years of cooking and the start of 20 Dishes. 
• What it means to be a health crusader. 
• The value of a support group, especially for bloggers. 
• Focus. 
• Getting through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. 
• Loving what you do.

Today we have a very interesting episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast. Why is it interesting? Well, our guest is really not involved in the health and wellness space. He deals with relationships—and he’s really good at it. The reason I wanted to have him on this podcast is because I firmly believe that there is nothing more important than relationships, in every aspect of your life. 

Whether it's your marriage, kids, business partners, investors, friends, family—relationships matter. Luckily, Tony Dilorenzo is an expert and he’ll be talking to us about all things relationships. Tony has the number one marriage podcast on iTunes, called the ONE Extraordinary Marriage Show. He speaks to a worldwide audience about sex, love, commitments, challenges, and making relationships a priority.

If you’re thinking this episode is worthless—you’ve got a lot to learn, let me tell you. I really can’t stress enough how important relationships are in your personal life and in business. I think this episode will help you to take a step back and focus on what is most important in your life.

In this episode, Tony and I discuss: 

• The ups and downs of Tony’s 21 year marriage. 
• The 60 day sex challenge. 
• Owning a business with your significant other. 
• Why Yuri thinks there should be a Rent-a-kid program. 
• Emotional intimacy 
• Bringing kids into the mix.

It’s Monday, and you know what that means … Another solo round of the Healthpreneur podcast, where we’re going to have a one on one conversation about moving that needle in your business. Today, we’re talking about the death of the sales page.

Is the sales page dead? Well, not necessarily. But I’m going to talk to you about how you can get tons of sales without using a sales page. If you’re trying to sell high-ticket items, a sales page might not be your best bet. Instead, I’m going to show you how you can communicate with your clients one-on-one in order to gain trust, build a better relationship with them, and help better serve them.

I am going to show you the foolproof system that I use for this. It just works, plain and simple. It has proved its worth time and time again. As I mentioned before, this is primarily for high-ticket items like coaching, workshops, mastermind classes, so this might not be the best strategy for that $10 eBook your selling. This episode is short and sweet—give it a listen, I can guarantee you’ll get something out of it.  

1:00 - 7:00 - What you need to accomplish before you start your communication. 

7:00 - 13:00 - The PEAR email process.

Today, I am interviewing Erin Palinski on The Healthpreneur Podcast. Erin is a dietitian and diabetes educator, she has written four books, served as a consultant to multiple global brands and is a sought-after media source and keynote speaker.

Now, what we’re really going to touch on in this interview is Erin’s media experience. You may remember a previous episode where I talked with my publicist, Nicole Dunn. That is how I’ve gotten a lot of my media coverage. And many people use a publicist, but Erin has done it all herself and she is absolutely crushing it in terms of media coverage.

Erin is going to share with us how she was able to get on a bunch of national broadcasts and get extensive coverage in magazines without a publicist. She did it all on her own, she put in all the work and she has some amazing tips for anyone who might be thinking of doing the same. 

If you’re thinking about seeking out major media coverage—or any media coverage at all—this is an excellent episode to check out. Erin will share how she does her manual outreach, how to find the right people, how to interact with them and how to ultimately get on their show and have them publish your stuff. Plus, a whole bunch of other nuggets.

In this episode, Erin and I discuss: 

• Erin’s journey through her practice, writing books, and getting into the media. 
• Lists! 
• How Erin is helping other entrepreneurs with their media coverage. 
• Lots of trial and error. 
• The credibility factor.

Hey everyone, we’re back with another great episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast. Today I am interviewing the one and only Brett Hawes! If you’re a health and wellness practitioner and you don’t know about Brett Hawes, you should. And you’ll be glad you listened to this episode as well.

Brett is a professional educator at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, where he has been teaching for the past ten years. He also has his own private practice where he focuses on clinical detoxification, Ayurveda, energy medicine, body talk, and iridology. And the really cool thing for all you practitioners is that he is also the founder of the Holistic Health Masterclass, which is a practitioner-focused education hub that aims to empower practitioners and help them excel at their craft and in their business.

We’ve been talking a lot on the podcast about how current medical teachings don’t really prepare people for the business side of owning a practice. Brett is going to add some amazing insight and tips for those of you that are in that situation right now, so I would strongly suggest getting out a pen and paper for this episode and really buckling yourself in. Brett has years and years of experience and so much wisdom that you can take advantage, so go ahead, do yourself a favor, and give this episode a listen. 

In this episode, Brett and I discuss: 

• Brett’s journey through teaching and his practice. 
• Why cookie-cutter nutrition and healthcare is on its way out. 
• What school does and doesn't prepare you for when creating your own practice. 
• Switching from a physical office to the online space. 
• Referrals and marketing.

Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we have a rehashed episode from a previous podcast of mine. It’s with a friend of mine named Jon Benson, who is the creator of the video sales letter.

You’ve definitely seen some video sales letters online. Jon created the idea and he has been collectively responsible for billions and billions of dollars in online purchasing. He is an amazing copywriter—one of the most highly sought after in the world—and will be sharing a ton of tips with us about marketing and copywriting.

Whether you are an experienced copywriter or you’ve never written a piece of sales copy in your life, I guarantee you will get a bunch of value from this episode. Jon and I will dive into copywriting, sales pages, big ideas, and product creation. He has some amazing insights. If you are able to implement just a fraction of what he talks about in this episode into your business, I am confident you will see results.

In this episode, Jon and I discuss: 

• The power of copywriting. 
• The most common initial mistakes that marketers and entrepreneurs make. 
• What makes people do what they do. 
• The various steps of product creation. 
• What makes a good book title.
