Peter Taunton joined the podcast today.  He is a self-made pioneer in the wellness industry with over thirty years of experience, learned the first critical lesson of entrepreneurship at eight years old selling popcorn in front of his father’s grocery store. 

“Don’t wait for business to fall in your lap, you’ve got to get out from behind the popcorn stand and ask people if they’d like some” - that fundamental advice passed down from his father would stick with Peter and propel him to become the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the year and founder of one of the largest fitness franchises in the world. 

Over the years Taunton has been featured in several prestigious industries and entrepreneurial magazines such as Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc.

In this episode he opens up to us about some challenges he has faced, how he keeps mental health a priority, self-love, and more.

In this episode of The Social Ninjas, Jeremy chats with Mari Stracke.

Mari is a London-based writer and comedian from Germany who has been living in the UK for 15 years.  

As a mental health and body positivity blogger, she enjoys an engaged following of over 50k on Instagram, where she openly speaks about her experience with PTSD, anxiety and depression.  Aside from her blogging, Mari works in the British film industry and holds a BA in Directing (Newport Filmschool) as well as an MA in Scriptwriting (Goldsmiths, University of London).  

As the current climate forced Mari to stop doing any stand up gigs, she finally had enough time to focus on her autobiographic novel about PTSD and just finished the first draft. In her free time she loves walking along the canals in her home borough of Hackney.
