Follow @karalennon on Instagram for all Coming In Hot updates!

Colleen Hayes, female entrepreneur, girlboss, yogi, connector, saleswoman and boxing instructor brings to us this week the REALEST of the real talks on mental health and life that we’ve had on here so far. This week, Colleen talks candidly about her journey through love and loss…and how to stay afloat through it all. Colleen is CEO and founder of a new mindfulness app called Prezence, a yoga teacher and boxing instructor at Everybody Fights but above all else, just a normal human trying to navigate this game we call life. She chats through her transition from her crazy college days to managing Formula One race day events, her almost career as a news anchor and how she ended up leaving corporate life altogether to travel the world for 6 months. Fresh off her trip, Colleen brings an energy to this interview that you just need to hear to believe. She shares…

-Her tips for waking up successfully each morning and how to maximize your time at night #youneedthis
-Navigating through the corporate world post-college
-Colleen's tips and tricks on how to stay organized (this is GOLD!)
-Finding fitness to navigate through loss
-The WHY behind her work and what motivates her every day
-Colleen's F*CK IT moment that led her to quit her job
-Budgeting tips and hacks on how to travel the world for 6 months...with no job!
-The two things that are most important to maximize your time in life

and soooo, so much more. The importance of this talk goes beyond just quitting your job and finding your why...it's about mental health, coping with loss, finding your passion and turning your life into something extraordinary.

As seen in Forbes, BostInno, Social Lifestyle Magazine, The Improper Bostonian and the Boston Business Journal - I bring to you this week the two dudes behind the powerhouse recovery company that is VitalFit Nutrition. Cam and Alfred are two seriously down to Earth dudes who founded VitalFit after completing grad school at Babson College — and I think you’ll be surprised at how they actually came up with their first product. From plant based protein, to fish oil, tart cherry recovery capsules and beyond, VitalFit’s products are at the cutting edge in plant-based recovery. They divulge on everything from their guilty pleasures, (hint: it’s fishtanks — I know, weird) how to manifest your goals and actually turn them into successful ideas and much more, including…

-How their college project turned into a successful company
-The model they use to bring ideas to life
-The GRIND and why it’s important to do the groundwork yourself
-What they do to destress
-Dropping some SERIOUS knowledge on the supplement industry
-The surprising event that sparked the idea behind their first product
-A full explaination about their line of wellness products
-Influencer marketing and their unique take on it
-Starting a company from the ground up as young entrepreneurs — well under 30!
-Calling out the BSers (I couldn’t believe what they said, either!)
-What’s next for VitalFit Nutrition and the exciting new collabs they’ve got coming up
(We also have an in depth convo about the Food Network for easily 5 full minutes, so that’s something to listen for)

Woah. This week we talking surfing lessons — I mean, life etc. with SoulCycle instructor and social media boss Maddy Ciccone. Better known as MaddzTaddz to her loyal followers, this girl seriously knows how to command a group of humans. She’s built a tribe in Boston of followers, riders, friends, and colleagues alike from the ground up after leaving her life in LA to pursue her career as an instructor full-time. From getting cut from making the Patriots Cheerleading squad to her public day-to-day life on Instagram, Maddy guides us through her journey to her current IDGAF attitude and why it’s so important to her. Besides talking about her love of Dunkin’ Donuts Breakfast Wake Up Wraps (not sponsored, but still very relevant)…we chat:

-Why her current injury is changing her life

-The surprising source of inspiration she uses when she feels overwhelmed

-Maddy’s transition from college working girl, to jobless and semi-lost in California, to extremely successful instructor

-The three words that changed her life

-What she leaves OFF her Instagram story and why

-The currency that’s most valuable to her

-Hitting rock bottom and how it’s changed her perspective on her attitude

 

Maddy is a positive and powerful force to be reckoned with and whether or not you vibe with her energy — you’ll definitely hear what she has to say. Joyful, loving, fearless…this girl’s definitely not afraid to be coming in HOT!

This girl is on fiiiiiiiire. Three words: Kara. Duval. Pilates. This week we have a thorough and somewhat controversial chat with Pilates and movement guru Kara Duval. Kara is a Pilates and Barre instructor in Boston at multiple fitness studios and sees upwards of 10 to 20 private clients per week.  Besides being insanely passionate, Kara truly talks the talk AND walks the walk. She calls herself the biggest advocate for the “everyday human” - preaching work/life balance, low-impact movement, wine nightly, and how she accomplishes working in the fitness industry while having a 2 day weekend.  At 26 years young, her work ethic and drive is nothing short of impressive and she’s cultivated a community of students in Boston and beyond that believes in #PilatesForThePeople. This week we chat with her about…

-Why Pilates isn’t “cool” 

-Her method to her madness and how it sells out almost 14 group fitness classes per week

-Her controversial view on the fitness industry and a whole

-Kara’s background as a classically trained dancer and how that still plays a role in her life today

-Why she quit her sales job in Texas and took weekend trips Canada to study with the Pilates masters

-The REAL reason behind all those Instagram posts

-What lights her fire and keeps her motivated

-Exciting news about whats coming for her later in 2018!

 

Always keeping it real, always pushing the envelope, and definitely not afraid to call you out on your BS. Kara’s voice and message is educated, precise and a breath of fresh air in the fitness space right now and we can’t wait to see where life takes her next!

Talk about energy. This week, we talk (and laugh, a LOT) with one of the co-leaders of November Project Boston - Chris Capozzi. Amongst several other titles, Chris is a true leader and trailblazer in Boston in many different circles. Always on the go, always rocking a dope hat, and most likely on his bike - Chris bounces (literally) from leading fitness groups, to managing a retail store, organizing large scale fitness events, and somehow this dude finds time to get his own workouts in AND have a super active social life. Uh, what?

We talk and laugh about his ever-changing life and...
-What he does (or doesn't do) to stay organized
-Why he hates the word "community"
-His transformation from a junk food loving inactive kid to an ultra marathoner and vegetarian
-3 things he never leaves the house without
-Chris' quest to know almost everyone in Boston and how he's going to accomplish it
-What to expect out of this powerhouse in 2018 and beyond

Chris is hilarious and above all else ALWAYS keeps it real. His life journey is both unconventional and inspiring and we know that you'll want to be this dude's best friend by the end of the show. A lot of this conversation surprised us - and we cannot wait to see where Capoze ends up next.

We want what this girl’s got. This week, we talk with Boston fitness professional and overall BAMF / boss Christina Muccio…most fondly known as MOOCH. Mooch made the huge jump (literally and figuratively, she moved across the country!) to full-time fitness from her lucrative sales career sparked by the courage and bravery of her Dad’s battle with ALS. Talk about an inspiration: this girl has run multiple marathons and completed multiple 200+ mile bike races all while raising money for ALS research.

In addition to talking about her mission with ALSTDI, in this episode, we get real about:

-Mooch’s journey to becoming one of the top trainers in the Boston fitness scene
-WHAT Mooch eats to get those abs of steel #goals
-Why she never talks to her Instagram story
-A surprise new venture for her and her business partner
-Debunking the “fitness advice” myths
-A discussion of social media and the role it plays in her life and career
-Bubba. If you don’t know…you will soon.

Mooch is real, raw, and surprisingly candid in this “Serial-style” interview via phone call…we could not be more grateful for her support, so make sure you listen until the end where she asks for your help!
