Seven and a half years. Over 300 interviews. Countless solo episodes. And now, it feels like the podcast is ready for its next chapter.
In this episode, I share a preview of where the show is heading, why podcasting continues to feel like the most authentic way to connect, and how I’ve been rethinking what truly matters in the content I create.
I take you behind the scenes of the rebrand currently underway with new cover art and fresh interviews already recorded, while reflecting on the balance between saying “yes” to opportunities and protecting your energy. I also share a powerful quote that has reshaped how I view time and priorities.
Together, we’ll explore the importance of knowing when to move quickly with intention, when to slow down and create space, and how to avoid the “anxious middle” that leaves us feeling stuck.
Plus, I’ll highlight why I consistently invest 10% of my revenue into events and masterminds, and how that commitment has elevated both my business and mindset.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why podcasting still feels like the deepest, most authentic way to connect
- How to know when it’s time to reimagine your creative projects
- The “52 pick up” method I use for weekly goal-setting
- Why September energy can make us overcommit (and how to check yourself before you say yes)
- The difference between going fast, going slow, and getting lost in the anxious middle
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Stop loving in the Anxious Middle
- Your Business doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s
- Isolation kills business
- It’s okay to rebrand and evolve

What does it really take to build strength not just in the gym but in life and business?
This week we are sharing an episode where I sat down with Jennifer Van Barneveld (Coach JVB), owner of Strong Fitness Magazine and the powerhouse between Team Strong Girls. Her story is nothing short of inspiring.
Jennifer went from selling printer toner, to hitting what she calls her “MacDonald’s Miracle” rock-bottom moment, to building a 7-figure coaching business and leading one of the most recognizable fitness publications in the world.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this podcast
- Why you don’t need a perfect plan to start
- How to turn setbacks into fuel for growth
- The power of momentum and why clarity comes after action
- Jenni’s biggest lessons in leadership, resilience, and staying grounded through success.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like you’re waiting for the “right time” to make your move, this episode is your reminder that strength isn’t about doing it all perfectly. It’s about moving forward, even when it’s messy.

I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas where I attended the Acquistion.com Scaling Workshop presented by Alex Hormozi and his team.
Definitely not the typical Las Vegas trip, that’s for sure! There was no gambling, no clubbing, and no fancy cocktail bars.
However, I did get to spend 2 very full days learning from Hormozi’s team on whether my business was prepared to scale, how to identify the weak spots, and what the next steps for growth look like.
It was an incredible experience, and if you can afford the expense ($5000 USD ticket and flights + hotel) then I’d say go for it. The workshop delivered on ALL fronts and I’m glad I went.
The workshop is centered around the concept of ‘scaling’ (ex: growing your business with strategy, to the point where you could sell it if you wanted to). And as someone who runs a Marketing Consulting Company (Kelsey Reidl Consulting, Inc.) which is mainly centered around my own intellectual property, I am constantly negotiating with myself on whether I have chosen a sustainable model for my current life goals.
I wanted to surround myself with $1 million and $10 million dollar CEO’s to observe how they think, how they solve problems, and how they approach opportunity. Even though I knew I would have major imposter syndrome, I knew it was my next step. I also knew that it would push me to become a better, moer well rounded business coach for my clients.
So, Viva Las Vegas! Let’s do it!
In this episode, I’ll share:
- Why I decided to attend Alex Hormozis’ event
- My hesitations around leaving my family for the first time since my little guy was born! (being a mama entrepreneur is a TRIP!)
- What I thought of the workshop experience curated by the Hormozi team + the structure
- The key lessons I learned about Scaling
- Action I am taking and what I will implement

What happens when the life you thought you were building no longer feels like it fits? What if the path that once felt exciting now feels... heavy?
In this powerful episode, Lindsay Simcik, host of Almost 30 Podcast, joins Kelsey for a deeply honest and illuminating conversation about evolving through life’s biggest transitions.
From Saturn Returns to soul journaling to postpartum rediscovery, Lindsay opens up about her own journey of transformation. She shares what it was like to leave behind a version of herself that no longer aligned with who she was becoming and how motherhood became one of her greatest spiritual teachers.
Kelsey and Lindsay explore how in their late 20s and early 30s often demand a full-body, soul-level reckoning.
Together, they break down why this season of life can feel so intense, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and how to build a life that truly reflects you not the one handed to you by society, parents, or past versions of yourself.
Lindsay also shares the powerful inner tools she uses to stay grounded and connected like her soul journaling practice and energetic hygiene rituals and talks candidly about redefining success, slowing down in a hustle-driven culture, and learning to honor the natural seasons of life and creativity.
Whether you’re navigating the chaos of new motherhood, stepping away from something that used to define you, or simply trying to tune back into your inner voice, this episode will leave you feeling seen, soothed, and supported.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE ALSO CHAT ABOUT:
- What the Saturn Return actually is (and why it hits hard in your late 20s)
- The neuroscience behind feeling more conscious, clear, and emotionally grounded around age 26
- How to navigate moments when you realize your life isn’t aligned
- The spiritual power of surrendering to change
- Lindsay’s simple yet transformative practice of “Soul Journaling”
- Why getting quiet (and off your phone) might be the most revolutionary act
- How to read the messages behind your emotions instead of running from them

What happens when three friends sitting on a coffee shop bench during a pandemic decide to reimagine what a coffee brand can be?
On this episode of the Visionary Life Podcast, Kelsey sits down with Sandrine Somé, Co-Founder of Nile Coffee, a black-owned coffee company that’s reshaping the industry by infusing every aspect of their brand with art and culture into everything they do!
Sandrine’s entrepreneurial spark didn’t ignite in a boardroom or brainstorm session. It happened way off the grid visiting her family in Burkina Faso, completely cut off from WIFI. What could have been an entrepreneur’s nightmare became her creative breakthrough.
The idea for Nile Coffee was born on a bench outside SAm James Coffee in Toronto, where Sandrina and her friends spent countless hours talking about life, work and their dreams. They recognized the gap in the coffee space and an opportunity to build something that spoke directly to their creative community.
Rather than sell coffee as fuel for the 9-to-5 grind they positioned it as inspiration for 5-9 passion projects. In a market where nearly everyone’s coffee tastes good, they decided to stand out through culture, community and meaningful connection.
Some of Nile’s biggest wins came not through big marketing budgets, but through authentic collaboration. This is your powerful reminder that success in business isn’t just about reach, it’s about resonance.
TIMESTAMPS
[03:21] Why traditional structures feel suffocating and how to carve out new ways to work and live!
[09:45] How Sandrine’s early entrepreneurial sparks and how design + cafe culture helped her imagine new kinds of gathering spaces.
[19:06] How her creative deepened when she gave herself full permission to rest and go inward
[34:14] How you should be building a business that serves the future version of you, not just the present moment.
[44:10] Rebuilding health, creativity, and work life from the ground up.
[51:25] What a ‘creative commune’ could look like

In this episode, Kelsey chats with Robyn and Monika, the powerhouse besties and co-founders behind Mint Cleaning, a wildly successful natural cleaning product company born out of a tiny town in British Columbia.
These two met at a mom group and became instant friends, and launched a cleaning company the very next day (seriously!). Within hours, they had a waitlist and they’ve been riding that momentum ever since.
We get into their incredible origin story, how they transitioned from service-based to product-based business, and how Mint Cleaning has grown into a million-dollar brand with a cult following.
They share the bold moves that helped them get noticed (hello, Jillian Harris brother’s hand-delivery), the behind-the-scenes of their Dragon’s Den pitch, and how they navigate social media with intention and fun.
Robyn and Monika also open up about balancing motherhood guilt with entrepreneurship, managing business growth, and staying grounded through the ups and downs.

In this episode, Kelsey is sharing four of the biggest business lessons she’s learned over the past 7+ years of running her personal brand and consulting agency. These aren’t just strategies, they’re mindset shifts that have shaped how she navigates both work and life.
From staying consistent without burning out, to making space for personal wins (not just business ones), she’s pulling back the curtain on what’s really helped her stay grounded and inspired, even when things get hard.
She also chats about the magic of showing up as your full, authentic self and how leaning into an abundance mindset can open way more doors than you'd expect.

- The secret sauce behind why people actually hire you (hint: it’s not just your credentials)
- The power of genuine referrals and how to start making them more intentionally
- A simple abundance mindset shift that changes how you show up for your community

When Nate dreamed up Flow State Bike Co, it was never just about bikes. It was about belonging.
He saw this gap in the local bike scene, no real hub for mountain bikers and gravel rides, to go meet, grab a coffee, talk trail conditions, and feel like they belonged.
But making the LEAP from idea to reality? That’s often the hardest part.
Nate spent over a year crafting a 90-page business plan. Not because he has to but because he needed to be fully aligned with his vision. That document became his compass.
And then… when he opened the doors. Not knowing who would show up… the COMMUNITY came in full force. They were ready. Not just for a shop. For this shop. His vision.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Why your vision isn’t “too specific”
- How slowing down to reconnect with your “why” can give you the clarity you need to move forward
- What happens when you build something rooted in real purpose, people feel it, and they will show up.
If you’re ready to get your idea off the ground and actually make it happen, this episode is for you.

Today we're talking about Social Media Content Creation... and more specfically, what to do when you get into one of those pesky content creation ruts.
You know, those times when inspiration seems to have packed its bags and left town?
Yep, I've been there too!
In this episode, I’m diving into my own experiences of shaking off the cobwebs and finding that creative spark again.
I’ve discovered this cool little routine I like to call the R.U.T. method – Repeat, Uplift, Teach. It’s been a lifesaver for me in getting back on track with my social media content.
Plus, I’m sharing some thoughts on using AI tools like ChatGPT.

Welcome back to another episode of Visionary Life!
It’s just me today, your host, and I’m sitting down to reflect on the wrap-up of Q1 and all the exciting opportunities (& challenges!) that come with a fresh season.
Honestly, the rhythm of entrepreneurship is such a ride, and I want to share how I’ve been balancing high-energy days with quieter moments for creativity and reflection.
I’ll walk you through some personal highlights and the challenges I faced over the last few months, like navigating a jam-packed schedule with limited childcare, tracking key business metrics (yes, I’m obsessed!), and leaning into the energy that a new season brings!
We’ll also chat about why goal setting feels so aligned during Q2 and the difference between building a business from passion, past profession versus solving a problem.
I also open up about learning to stay flexible and keeping the energy light hearted in the home & in general... to make both life and business flow easier.
Hit play, and let's dig in!
This week, we have an extraordinary conversation with Julie Cole, the co-founder of Mabel's Labels.
Not familiar with Mabel's Labels? Mabel's Labels story begins in 2003 when four busy moms noticed a huge gap in the market for durable kids' labels.They are the original waterproof name label for kids.
Julie shares her incredible journey from starting a basement business to creating an international marketplace leader, all while being a mom of 6.
We dig into:
- Balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood,
- How Mabel's Labels grew to massive success (which marketing strategies they used) and how that has evolved over the past decade
- The importance of personal branding,
- Knowing When to Abandon a Business Idea
- How to navigate challenges like self-doubt and imposter syndrome as you grow
- Business and life hacks for 'doing it all' (one of which is to do a Time Study to see where you can find more time in your day)
- The (sometimes) Unromantic Reality of Entrepreneurship (like needing to stay up to date on the ever changing landscape... like AI!)
- And more!
With her infectious energy and wealth of experience, Julie's story will motivate you to embrace the chaos and the beauty of entrepreneurship.
Plus, if you've ever felt the push and pull of raising a family while growing a business, Julie is here to tell you how it's done!

In this special roundtable discussion, Kelsey brings together 3 incredible clients and Mastermind members—April Miranda, Angela Lopes, and Heather Haigh—to explore the intricacies of entrepreneurship, from the initial spark of inspiration to the challenges of balancing the many hats we all wear.
We dig into candid reflections on the importance of self-care, the power of community, and how to navigate both the highs and lows of running a business.
Episode Highlights:
Finding Work-Life Harmony:
Our guests, April Miranda, Angela Lopes, and Heather Haigh, shared their personal stories about balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with personal life. Heather Haigh's reframe from "work-life balance" to "work-life harmony" offers a fresh perspective on managing our time and energy.
Embracing the Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster:
April Miranda talks about the identity shifts and challenges she faced, especially navigating her business alongside motherhood. Her journey from yoga teacher to Reiki practitioner highlights the importance of staying true to your evolving passions.
Overcoming Social Media Comparison:
The roundtable addressed the all-too-common trap of social media comparison. Our discussion emphasized the importance of creating rather than consuming, setting boundaries, and being authentic online.
Staying True to Your Unique Path:
Heather Haigh reminds us that not every business journey needs to be the same. The value of saying "yes" to a variety of opportunities when starting out is emphasized, allowing for discovery and organic growth.

Can I share a quick success secret with you today? It’s a secret that will make you $1000’s or even millions over the coming years.
This is advice that my first business coach told me many years ago, and it has really stuck with me and proved to be true.
It’s not revolutionary,
It’s not sexy,
It’s not to ‘start a Pinterest account, create a membership, build an email list, or launch a digital course’ like all the gurus are telling you.
Those things can come later. Right now, they’re not the priority.
Choose one area of interest around your business, and go deep.Become laser-focused on your ‘thing’.
Whether it’s digital marketing, gluten-free sourdough recipe creating, or becoming the best spin instructor on planet earth.
Read everything you can about it. Create content around it. Share it with friends and family. Host free workshops. Immerse yourself completely in this one thing—and commit to it long-term.
By long term, I mean years & years & years!
Play the long game.
Success comes from dedicating yourself to one niche, one message, and one plan. Not jumping from idea to idea, strategy to strategy, or social media platform to social media platform.
building a thriving business isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about becoming the go-to person for your niche.
The question is—what’s your niche.

In this episode, I'm sharing my recent thoughts around TIME.
Time is so fascinating, isn't it? We've all heard the expression 'Beyonce ALSO has 24 hours in the day...' and then suddenly felt poorly about our lives. But what does the expression actually mean?
Yes, we all have 24 hours in the day.
But we don't all THINK about those hours equally!
In this episode, I ponder the concept of time. And I ask questions like...
- can we expand time?
- can we contract it?
- what does it mean to KILL time?
- how do we live multiple days in 24 hours?
- do we all treat 24 hours the same?
- what are some time management tips?
- can I work an '8 hour day' in just 2 hours?
And more!

We're BACK with Season 15, baby!
Not only are we celebrating 15 seasons of the podcast, but we're also celebrating 7 years of the Visionary Life Podcast.
Yes, you read that right. We have been creating, producing, and sharing weekly episodes for 7 whole years.
I still remember when I started this podcast with NO clue what I was doing, and I would travel around Toronto on public transit and show up at people's studios, offices, apartments and bring them to my tiny bachelors apartment to record with a $150 microphone.
Let's just say, a lack of equipment didn't ever hold me back!
7 years later, we're still here and I think we've made some SIGNIFICANT upgrades.
Let's get into this weeks episode where I share some New Years Update + Marketing Predictions for 2025.
Some of the trends discussed include:
- why memberships are slowly dying off
- a return to supporting our local community and boost in IRL events
- having friends who are entrepreneurs is vital
- should you worry about scaling if you're not even making money?
- and so much more

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on what a week in my life really looks like.
Of course, every week is different. But I wanted to sit down 7 days in a row, and record what happened behind the scenes.
I chronicle:
- what I eat to stay fueled (and how I keep meals mega simple around here)
- what I do during my 2 days of child-care
- how we fit in a 1x weekly date night
- spending as much time as possible with Freddie each week, and taking him on adventures
- and more!
Like many of you, I (try to) juggle all the hats—mama, entrepreneur, friend, creative, wife, home chef, workout enthusiast... it's a lot!
And I'm far from having it figured out, but I can say with certainty that I have more energy in this phase of life than I've ever had before because I'm clear on my priorities.
Enjoy!

What's working when it comes to Social Media Marketing, right now?
If you ask me... it's LinkedIn!
(psssst: follow me there! https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelseyreidl/)
Even though LinkedIn has been around for 20+ years, it's more alive than ever before - especially for
B2B interactions and industry-specific content.
LinkedIn is also a great platform for new online business owners, because it supports thought-leadership by facilitating professional updates, creating space for professional content, and it offers the chance for advanced targeting for B2B marketing.
You thought it wasn’t a very sexy platform, and that might be right, but it’s where opportunity is right now!
Time Stamps:
00:00 We are feeling totally disenchanted with Instagram, so here's what to try instead
05:44 Two 'must follow' accounts for learning LinkedIn from the 'pros'

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the vital character traits that every entrepreneur should cultivate in order to thrive in their business growth journey.
We'll explore the importance of resiliency, decisiveness, and the art of balancing multiple life areas to avoid burnout.
PLUS I share practical time management strategies, including how I block my day to fit in work, family, and personal growth and why believing in oneself is crucial amid the unpredictable nature of business success.
The Reality of Running a Business is not always as glamorous as what the Social Media Influencers tell you!
There are going to be days when you wake up with low energy or you're under the weather, and days when you wonder 'does anyone even care about what I'm creating?'
It's during those times that exercise these 7 character traits because by building them up, we can stay the course, and recommit to the vision of why we started this business to begin with.
If you're someone who feels like they're meant to defy traditional norms and forge their own way - this episode is for you!

This week I am re-sharing an episode that I recorded with my friend and visionary entrepreneur, Jason Brown.
Jason is someone who thinks outside of the box and challenges his way of being & thinking every single day.
He's always challenging his own beliefs and looking at things from different perspectives, he's also not afraid to take risks, and he's always seeking out new opportunities - something he calls ‘Following The Nudges’.
This willingness to try new things has led to his success in a variety of ventures.
Some of the other awesome things you’re going to learn from Jason in the podcast include:
- The Benefits of Getting Into Your Body: whether that’s by doing mushrooms, practicing breathwork, doing meditation, or taking long walks -- whatever you need to do to stop suppressing your emotions and feelings so that you can truly connect to what your mind and body are saying is going to be SO advantageous for your personal and professional growth.
- Using humor to overcome fear and hesitation
- The books or resources that have inspired him on his professional journey
- The critical shift from external validation to internal validation for true fulfillment.
- Jason's goal is to deprogram himself

Freddie’s birth was perfect in my eyes. It was the best day of our lives.
But the truth is, it did NOT go as planned
My home birth turned into a 9-1-1 emergency phone call at 11:15PM on Christmas Eve
I ‘transitioned’ in the ambulance and had to hold off from pushing, as the paramedic drove top speed to the hospital
My worry in sharing the 90 minute audio file is simply out of fear of judgement of our birth decisions,
My intention in sharing it is to show others that even if things don’t go ‘according to plan’ it’s probably the Universe conspiring in your favour. And that your intuition is probably right… always. So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
I’ve had many people ask if I was upset that my ‘plan’ got derailed— and I shared my honest thoughts on this in the podcast episode.
05:35 I was SHOCKED when I went into labour on Christmas Eve and has a Christmas Day Baby! (The least common birthday!)
11:19 Sharing openly about our conception journey, pregnancy loss, and feelings about entering parenthood.
22:38 How I revealed our first and second pregnancy to my husband (& the really confusing pregnancy test!)
48:37 Labour story: my manifestations, navigating pain, and how I found the inner strength
50:54 What it feels like to be pregnant over your 'due date' and how frustrating it is when everyone asks you 'have you had the baby yet?'
01:02:28 The ONLY regret that I have about my labour experience
01:08:47 How I coped with pain in labour, naturally
01:16:47 We had to call 9-1-1 and our home birth transferred to the hospital
01:24:15 Calling in the help from the OB-GYN when Freddie's heart rate was dropping
01:31:57 The magic of spending Christmas as a new family of 3

This week I am sitting down with Brandon Fong, and I am being interviewed on his podcast called Beyond Curious!
This conversation comes full circle from last week (I interviewed Brandon on Episode #315 of Visionary Life) and today I reveal the story behind my Justin Bieber "visionary" moment and its subsequent impact on my life's path.
I also take you along the journey from working my dream job for one of Canada's Top health food companies (Vega) in my 20's to the harsh news of being let go from this job and forging my own path!
Brandon and I discuss:
- My passion for conducting experiments (especially as it relates to Marketing)
- The importance of personal energy tracking in order to boost performance and to operate as a high level entrepreneur
- The story about my last mountain biking race and how I surprised myself
- The power of constraints in my personal life and in making business decisions.

Brandon Fong: Where do I even begin with this incredible human!?
He has the biggest heart, a true gift for connecting people together and creating meaningful gatherings, and a curious explorer of life.
I met Brandon inside of a virtual mastermind, but a year later I flew to Park City Utah to meet him in person at a retreat he created for visionary entrepreneurs.
I genuinely enjoy my conversations with Brandon, whether they’re recorded or not, and today I get to share one of them with you.
We're talking about…
- How he got into entrepreneurship,
- His start in the restaurant industry and in network marketing,
- And how he found his purpose for creating a more deeply connected world
- The Ikea Effect & MORE!
And what's really fun too is that I also recorded an episode for Brandon's podcast, the Beyond Curious Podcast, where Brandon is on a mission each week to create a more deeply connected world by catalyzing curiosity.
He has high energy and the largest heart, and honestly I don’t know why you WOULDN’T want to have someone so passionate as a friend, a colleague and person you can call on with questions about life and business.
I wouldn't have jumped on a plane and flown to the USA if I didn't think this human was awesome.

Welcome back to another episode of Visionary Life! I'm your host, Kelsey, and today we have a very special guest joining us, Maxine Cunningham.
In this episode, Maxine generously allows us to pick her brain (she's the founder of Pick My Brain - see what I did ther?) as she shares her inspiring journey of personal and professional growth.
Max opens up about...
- Her experience starting her career as an Investment Banker, becoming an Economist and eventually quitting to become an Entrepreneur (even though she had no idea how that would look!)
- She highlights the importance of relationships and the value of self-development and creating a Year On (aka Year Off) where you build your OWN curriculum!
- She challenges listeners to evaluate the true worth of their time, both in terms of how they spend it working and how they spend it on personal growth.
- She emphasizes the need to break away from careers that are not aligned with our values.
- Maxine also shares all about her business baby which is valued at 15 MILLION DOLLARS! (it's called Pick My Brain) and how it has become a place the #1 marketplace to buy and sell knowledge!
Time stamps:
00:03:02 Maxine's journey of taking calculated risks through her career as an Investment Banker, Economist and Entrepreneur
00:05:34 The pursuit of self-growth through exploration, taking a 'year on' (aka year off) and investing $30,000 in herself

00:36:31 Inspired by Air BNB she quit her job, drove across the country in a campervan, and read books in Maui for a month!
00:48:02 Passion and dedication are eays when you LOVE what you do! Maxine shares why hustling isn't hustling when you love the work (even if it means taking meetings at 11pm!)
00:50:04 Intentional conversations change lives - here's how to be part of this new movement

In this episode we're talking about Riding the Wave of Success and How Kove Ocean Foods is Making Waves in the Natural Food Industry.
Kove is developing delicious foods made with the world's most sustainable crop... SEAWEED.
Travis, Koreann and Susan had always toyed with the idea of starting their own business. They bounced around various concepts, trying to find the perfect fit. Then, by chance, an opportunity aligned with their expertise in the natural product industry.
It was a perfect match, embodying their passion and values. Though they experienced some doubts and uncertainty, they ultimately decided to take the leap with Desiree (the original founder).
Tune in to hear all about the life changing journey of deciding to team up, and build out Kove!

Did you know that Seaweed is a regenerative powerhouse for the planet. Grown in the ocean, there is no demand on resources like land or fresh water - no need to cut down any trees and no need to water seaweed!

Last Friday, a group of inspiring men and women came together to work on completing their online courses.

It was an amazing evening full of brainstorming, extracting our courses, eating delicious food, engaging in meaningful conversations, and sharing lots of laughter with other entrepreneurs who just 'get it'.
Whether it was struggles with picking technology for our courses or simply trying to make sense out how to prepare an online course curriculum -we shared it all!
In this episode, I do a full recap of what went down at the event: the highlights, successes, lessons learned, tips for improvement going forward…you know -the good bad and ugly from our course completion event last week!

My guest of the show today is Brand Photographer, Evie Tavares.
Evie is someone I met very serendipitously, through Facebook Marketplace (where all good business friendships begin.. lol!)
But there's definitely a reason that my path crossed with Evie.
I had only lived in my town for about a year, and was thinking that I needed new brand photos. I wanted to hire someone local, but I hadn't yet met anyone with that particular expertise.
Then, I meet Evie while selling her my Oura Ring - and we booked a photoshoot together (which was epic, by the way - she is a MASTER of her craft) and since then, I've recommended her services to countless clients.
Evie is a mama of 2, she works another job, and she's building her brand photography and content creation business on the side. I sometimes wonder HOW she has the time to fit it all in, but she makes it happen.
In this episode we chat about:
- Why Evie decided to start a photography business
- Her decision to niche down and become a branding photographer
- Her tips for networking, even if you're an introvert
- How she balances her days and weeks as a busy mama who also works another job
- Why she thinks everyone needs to consider investing in brand photos
- & so much more!

Ryan Castelez is the Founder and Creative Director of Discourse Coffee and The Counter Day Bar in Milwaukee, WI. Ryan is also (among MANY other things) a Drink Maker, an Author, a very Visionary Entrepreneur, a forward-thinking mixologist and a barista!
I met Ryan Castelez at a retreat in Park City, Utah that I attended in July 2023, for adventurous entrepreneurs. Thanks to our mutual friend Brandon Fong (host of the Beyond Curious Podcast) for introducing us, and bringing us together for 3 days of magic!
In this episode, I sit down with Ryan to hear about HOW he turned his dream of opening a coffee shop into a reality. It wasn't easy, but he started small and today he is running a coffee and mixology empire!
We discuss:
- Where he got the initial idea to start Discourse (way back in 2017) and the crazy unassuming location that he picked for his first shop!
- His views on coffee and running a coffee shop (Hint! It is SO much more than just a commodity product to the Discourse Team. It's about poetry, nostalgia, storytelling, etc.)
- Ryan shares some of the first steps he took to bring the idea to life
- His previous experience as an entrepreneur (or lack thereof!) and which qualifications and skillets he leveraged that prepared him for the wild journey ahead as as 23 year old passionate new business owner!
- The marketing strategies he relied on in the early days, having ZERO budget for advertising!
- His philosophy regarding pushing his customers outside of their comfort zone and nudging them to try new concoctions!
- The way Ryan thinks and operates as as seasoned entrepreneur, today
- How’s it been now that he's leading and empowering a team to run the business!

Ever wonder how someone could go from working multiple jobs to building a six-figure coaching business overnight?
In my opinion, they didn’t!
Perhaps that’s what they’ll tell you on Instagram, but they’re usually trying to sell you something on the other side!

- Exactly HOW I built my business
- The MANY jobs I worked as a built to full time income
- Why I regret NOTHING on this path!
- The different strategies I leveraged to Grow My Income as a Coach
- Why I stuck with it all these years (and didn't QUIT)
- Success Tips for Online Business Owners in their first few years

Tune in to hear her story of redemption, and giving others a second chance at life and success.

In this episode, I'm sharing a quick snippet from a recent training I did on "How To Have a Marketing Breakthrough!".
This is perfect for any entrepreneur or business owner who feels stuck or stagnant with their current marketing strategy, and who wants to be challenged to think bigger and to figure out their next big move to increase revenue.
Marketing Breakthroughs can look like:
- Identifying that Direct Response Marketing works REALLY well for you
- SEO taking off, and focusing exclusively on your Google Search Rankings
- Knowing that 1:1 works better than 1:Many for converting leads into paying clients etc.
Enjoy this episode, and please share your breakthroughs with me:

TL;DR ▶️ On Friday May 26th I hosted an ‘IRL’ meetup for the Visionary Community and it was AMAZING!
Running an Online Business offers so many amazing opportunities— from being able to operate a business without physical storefronts, all the way to connecting with clients around the globe. It’s such a gift to be able to work remotely, and do what I love from my laptop.
However, no matter how convenient the miracles of modern technology may be — nothing compares with in-person connection!
The connectivity formed from face-to-face hang outs (and no, I’m NOT referring to staring at someone’s face through Zoom!) is truly irreplaceable, which is why I decided to host our 3rd official Visionary Meet Up at a restaurant called Planted In Hamilton and we had 16 amazing visionaries (past + present clients of mine, and students of our Visionary Courses) who came from all over!
Some of the attendees even commuted over 4+ hours to be there
Others came knowing NOBODY else in the room,
But all of them OPEN to the magic that happens when entrepreneurs connect
Tune in to hear ALL the details!
Sky McLean is a Canadian entrepreneur in the hospitality space that has built a successful empire with her company Basecamp Resorts, a business that provides modern boutique hotels in locations across Alberta and British Columbia.

While there, Sky became interested in the Airbnb business model and managed to secure a bank loan to open her first mountain hotel property. Since then, Sky and her team have managed to turn Basecamp Resorts into Western Canada’s fastest growing hospitality brand. Currently, Basecamp Resorts runs seven modern mountain boutique hotel properties and Sky plans to open six more locations over the next three years.

Are you ready to hear how I made an extremely bold decision that was outside of my comfort zone? Get ready, because I'm going to be taking you step-by-step through why I ended my free weekly coaching calls, and the results that came from it.
It was a bold move that I resisted in multiple ways, but instead it had amazing results.
I'll explain it all, inside of this episode.
Private 1:1 Marketing Coach:
Small tweaks to your Marketing Strategy can skyrocket your business success….
Today I have a very special episode for you. I'm being interviewed by my colleague and my business partner, Emily Elliott!
If you aren't familiar with Emily, she hosts the Magnetic Life Podcast and she also is the co-host of the 90 day program we teach for online business owners called Your 2023 Leap.
Emily brought me on the podcast to ask me some questions about the realness of starting a business and what it really takes to succeed and sharing a little bit about my story and my journey of leaving the corporate world and actually pursuing this life of running a business, but also building freedom, building wealth in all areas of life and having creative control over everything that I get to do in order to run this business and build this brand.
This episode is super timely because we're actually starting our next cohort of 2023 Leap on May 17th. We feel so passionate about this program overall and why it came to be because Emily and I on paper have built our lives and businesses in very different ways. I'm more of the marketing brain, the strategy, the tactics. Emily is more leaning into the power of attraction and manifestation and embodying that physiology of success. And it's so funny because when we first met and got chatting, we realized that our skill sets are radically different. But as we started learning from one another, we also noticed that we each had a missing link in our business. For me, it was the mindset piece that Emily teaches to her clients. And for Emily, it was more of the strategy and tactical piece. So we actually started working together. And because of the insane results that both of us were having, the constant voice notes of, oh my God, this has been transformative.

Do you aspire to a wealth of riches, or an abundance in another form? Are you coveting the traditional monetary forms of success and affluence, or perhaps something else? What sort of wealth would you envision having in your life?

Geralyn Power is an Entrepreneur, Spiritual Teacher & Coach for Wise, Sensitive Women.
She lives in rural Ontario where she homeschools and works from home.
Geralyn teaches cyclical living principles, combining her 12 years of holistic education into my spiritual coaching practice. She is currently training with the Priestess Presence Temple and School of Sacred Arts.
We talk about...
- Can you define what Seasonal Living is, and what some of the core principles are?
- Why is this concept important and relevant for entrepreneurs, especially women, who run businesses?
- This seems like such an intuitive rhythm to follow, but most of us ignore it. Where did we go wrong? How did we get so far away from Seasonal living?
- Example of a cyclical business year… The Deep Winter December-January, The Spring Rebirth March/April/May, Summer Fun June/July/August, Fall Beauty… and Chaos! Sept/Oct/Nov
Other topics:
- Can you share an example of where we might feel friction when it comes to being visible, growing our business or trying out a marketing strategy that feels in opposition to cyclical living?
- What are some of the rituals you have around getting work done, but also giving yourself permission to rest and honour the seasonality and the rhythms?
- Where do you think the world would be if more humans honoured the principles of Seasonal Living?
- Finish this sentence: When female entrepreneurs run their businesses while honouring Seasonal Living and The Life/Death/Rebirth Process they can….

Choosing to start your own business means that you’re choosing to embark on the greatest adventure of your entire life.
Notice how I didn’t say, it will be the greatest vacation of your life.
But rather,
The greatest adventure.
Because by definition, adventures mean there are a lot of unknowns, unexpected moments, and the potential for sheer chaos.
Every day is a new adventure when you take the leap into running a business. You never know what's going to happen, and you have to be prepared for anything.
You have to be fearless and always ready to take on whatever comes your way. It can be exciting and frustrating all at the same time, but it's definitely never boring.
And I don't know about you, but I am willing to embrace a life of excitement rather than one that bores me to death and sucks my soul dry.

Meghan Walker is obsessed with the intersection between health, high performance and entrepreneurship. She works with Clinician Entrepreneurs and business owners in the health and wellness space to create the impact and income that aligns with their purpose. She also hosts the IMPACT podcast, creates programs, and build businesses that align with her purpose and core belief – that when people have their health, they can change the world. She is here to lend innovative thinking, disruptive approaches and unwavering support to those who are on a mission to leave the world better than they found it.
I invited Meghan onto the Visionary Life Podcast because I believe that she is a glowing example of what it means to be a High Performing Female Entrepreneur in the Health and Wellness Space.
I am continually amazed at her pursuit of excellence and her ability to chase her dreams.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What does High Performance mean to you? What does it mean to be a high-performance entrepreneur?
- What do you think enables the best of the best to achieve their dreams, especially as it relates to growing a business of impact?
- The entrepreneurial journey is not always upwards - how has that played out in your own journey and what do you do or what skills have you had to cultivate to ride those waves?
- You believe that daily dedication towards the mission is when the growth happens - but what about when a new practitioner or entrepreneur doesn't yet feel clarity around their mission or clear on their purpose?
- I know that you've talked publicly about being a hard worker and not being afraid to put in the effort, but you also shared that in 2022 you worked really hard and that didn't mean more bottom line or a better lifestyle. (Employee Mindset / Mindset Shift?)
- How do you tap into your ultimate productivity?

Are you tired of the same old "follow for follow" game on Instagram?
Well, maybe it's time to shift your perspective.
The key to finding success on this platform is treating your followers like the human beings they are. No, seriously! Take the time to understand their needs and desires, and show them that you genuinely care about their well-being.
Don't treat them like potential customers, treat them like friends. Because at the end of the day, that's what we all are, right?
Just a bunch of people trying to connect and support each other. So go ahead, start spreading the love on Instagram and watch as success follows.
In this episode, I'm going to show you how I was able to get more than 10 new paying clients in the past few months using Instagram.

The title of this weeks podcast is From ZERO sales to SOLD OUT group program in under 1 year, and it spotlights one of our amazing Visionary Method Alumni, Emily Fraser (Founder of The Spoonie Mentor). You might assume that in order to have such a major leap, you need to HUSTLE HARDER but Emily Fraser did the EXACT opposite...
Emily reminds us that one of the biggest misconceptions that many of us cling onto when we start our businesses is that you need to work INSANE hours, be HYPER productive and live in a DO MORE mentality in order to be successful. This is Toxic and DOES NOT WORK for most individuals, especially women.
Instead, Emily made the shift to prioritize self care, get restorative rest, make time for gentle movement, etc. and THAT IS WHEN HER BUSINESS BLEW UP
To learn more about Emily's journey and about her program (Thriving Spoonie Pathway), subscribe to the Visionary Life Podcast (& don't forget to rate and review if you have an extra 10 seconds!)
Emily Fraser is The Spoonie Mentor and the founder of Thriving Spoonie Pathway (TSP™) which is an interactive group experience that will help you find freedom from debilitating fatigue and unpredictable symptoms in under 12 weeks.
Emily helps her community to overcome fatigue and confidently move through their days WITHOUT provoking symptom flare-ups, something she has been dealing with since a life threatening car accident.
In this episode, we dig into...
- What is a Spoonie?
- The turning point in her life when she became a Spoonie and how her life changed
- Why she decided to create a program for Spoonies & how it all came together
- The types of mindset blocks that she had to navigate
- The early wins of her students
- The strategies she implemented that led to a 5 figure launch
- How she structures her workweek to find balance and rest
- A block that she is currently navigating in order to upgrade her life, health and business

None of these methods take a lot of time, but they will help you out when you need an extra boost mid workday!

Is this your time to take a leap?
Women can begin building a sustainable financial future by creating multiple income streams.

Running a business can often seem like a rollercoaster ride full of surprises — some exhilarating and others more challenging.

Unlock the potential of your Business and your Mindset in just 90 days
Starting a business can be an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it can also take a toll on your mental and physical health (aka BURNOUT).
Navigating failed launches, not getting clients, posting so much content without a boost of engagement: all of these can accelerate your journey to burnout.
HOWEVER - there are things we can do as Business Owners to mitigate burnout and continue feeling JOY and EXCITEMENT towards the growth of our businesses.
Things like: prioritizing our Mindset-Hygiene, getting out of the Robotic State that you're in, and reconnecting to WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU LOVE, and infuse this work into your NEW marketing plan.
Tune into this weeks podcast episode to learn more about Burnout (search 'Visionary Life' on your app of choice).

1-800-Got-Junk CEO's Advice for Entrepreneurs: The Formula for Success
Brian Scudamore has always taken the road less traveled. At nineteen, he pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, turning a chore people avoid into an exceptional customer service experience. He then scaled that success into two more home-service brands, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine. Brian’s “Willing to Fail” philosophy stems from his belief in the power of dreaming big, taking risks, and learning from mistakes. Through franchising, he’s giving thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to live their dreams of business ownership.
Brian has been a dream guest of mine for many years, and I'm SO inspired by his kindness and willingness to give back to young entrepreneurs and emerging founders.
For anyone looking for a great book that will help you get a solid start in business and understand key success principles, you'll also want to pick up a copy of his book B.Y.O.B. (Build Your Own Business)

Are you ready to take your business to the next level?
Do you have blocks with your Money Mindset, your Earning Potential, or what you believe is possible for you in 5 or 10 years?
Are you stuck in the 1:1 coaching model and want to leverage your time and earn passive income?
Let's explore what's holding you back!
You've got a vision and an idea of how to make it happen, but something's just not quite clicking in order for that extraordinary goal to materialize.
Sure, there are times when we hit roadblocks that can't be helped - like overwhelming competition or limited resources. But more often than not, what's really holding us back is our own mindset -- those negative stories and limiting beliefs that lurk around the corner waiting for their opportunity to sabotage our progress!
In this episode, I'm talking about three common mindset blocks entrepreneurs face (including myself!) so you can identify which ones exist in your life and start breaking through them today!
Block 1: where have you 'upper-limited' yourself?
Block 2: are you afraid of what's possible in your future?
Block 3: are you trading time for money?

In 2023, the competition for entrepreneurs will be stiffer than ever - but that doesn’t mean there isn’t space for you.
In fact, now more than ever we NEED you to bring valuable products and services to the world.
To stand out from the crowd, you will need to have a good knowledge of how the business world works and what it takes to make a mark.
It’s no longer enough to just write a basic business plan, have an average product, and to expect to make millions overnight with an automated sales funnel.
You must possess sharp skills and a keen eye for ‘what’s working now’ in order to stay afloat!
Above all else, entrepreneurs in 2023 must be bold with their marketing strategies, and unapologetic about what makes them different from their competition - this could be where true riches reside!
So, today I'm going to be sharing 7 tips that will help you succeed as an entrepreneur in 2023.

In this episode, I'm discussing my thoughts towards the concept of 'Separation Season' which I originally heard from Ed Mylett.
I love Ed's podcast, and the moment that I heard the episode about 'Separation Season' so much resonated.
It's nearing the end of 2022 and it's time to start thinking about what kind of person you want to be and what business you want to run by the end of 2023.
The end of the year is the time most people take their foot off the gas and stop striving for what they want. They get relaxed during the holiday season, they take time off, and THAT is exactly when you can catch up and surpass them.
This concept is applicable to SO many areas of our life!
A few ways that I plan to leverage Separation Season
-
I am committed to at least 2 hours of exercise or movement everyday from now until the end of the year. If I want to be 2x as fit as most people, I need to move my body 2x as much.
-
I am committed to more reading, less scrolling. I am going to delete Instagram off my phone most days for 23/24 hours. I’ll log in to post content that I’ve pre-recorded. I want to be present, which means head UP from my cell phone.
-
I am committed to Cold Dips! We’ve been doing them at least 1x weekly and I will continue that.
-
I am committed to setting timelines & constraints around work projects. If I give myself 5 minutes to build a landing page, I’ll do it in 5 minutes. If I gave myself 5 hours for the same project, it would take me 5 hours. Funny how that works ;)
-
I am committed to Calendaring! I schedule my days from start to finish (my Google Calendar looks like a colourful rainbow of activities). It helps me squeeze the most out of each day, even if I only accomplish 70% of what I schedule in!
I would highly encourage you to tune into Ed Mylett's original episode on this concept:

My name is Kelsey Reidl and I am a Results-Driven Marketer
In this episode I'm going to give you a behind the scenes look at my life and business in November.
Welcome to another episode of All Things Visionary.
November was pretty eventful so I wanted to take some time and share with you what's been going on. A lot of people have been asking me about my Business Mastermind Retreat and how I am prepping for 2023, so in this episode I'm going to break down everything that's happened in the past month (the good, the bad and the ugly).
I'm also sharing some of my favourite tools, the fitness app that I'm obsessed with, how my programs are evolving for 2023, and so much more!
We also talk about:
- Life Update - where I’ve been travelling, and why I decided that I wanted to make November the best month ever
- Business Update - I am pretty far away from achieving my 2022 income goal, but there’s an important lesson inside of this for me!
- Navigating The Dips - Your ability to ride the waves starts with YOU and if you don’t believe in yourself, you’re going to quit when things get tough in your business
- What I am loving lately: Peloton App and Marco Polo app that I am using with Krista Ko and Stephanie Long
- Marketing tip: here’s an easy way to get more referrals in your business!

My name is Kelsey Reidl and I am a Results-Driven Marketer
If you have ever felt like..
- You have doubts that your success was warranted. Maybe it was luck.
- You don’t feel deserving of being in the spot you’re in or singing praise for your wins
- Feel like someone is going to find out about “the real you” sooner or later.
- Trouble taking compliments
If so, you’ve probably experienced imposter syndrome, right along with an estimated 70% of the population. That’s right — those feelings are shockingly common, but no one talks about them!
One disappointment or moment of uncertainty is often all of the proof you need to convince yourself that you’re not good enough or shouldn’t be doing the work you’ve chosen to do.
Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success
Nobody is immune.
I’ve dealt with it many times, especially in working with Visionary Clients.
Like right now, I am building the marketing strategy for a million dollar company. The founder of the company is a marketer, so I really feel like I have no business giving him ideas.
My reminders to myself right now are that…
- Everyone suffers from imposter syndrome but nobody has MORE or LESS rights to delivering what you do!
- You’re not an imposter if you’re creating in service of others (I believe Seth Godin first said this!)
- It mostly happens when I am teaching beyond my knowledge, or copycatting someone else's material
The problem with Imposter Syndrome is that it undermines our ability to feel joy for what we’re building and creating each day, and we feel bad when we’re promoting ourselves shamlessly.
In this episode, I crack into the topic.

Darling Mimosa is a bright sparkling orange mimosa in a can. Made with Ontario wine and real orange juice. No preservatives or additives.
The idea for Darling Mimosa started with a few friends, hanging out in a kitchen, making brunch and realizing that there were no canned mimosas on the market!
After doing some research, they found that no one was making canned mimosas so they quickly got work.
Today, Darling Mimosa is inspiring you to Live Life on the Brightside!
Back for his SECOND appearance, today I am chatting with Mitchell Stern who is now the cofounder of Darling Mimosa.
We chat about the serendipitous moment that was the origin of Darling Mimosa and how 6 weeks was all it took to get traction on the idea and early proof that it was going to work.
And we also chat about his role as a consultant and advisor to other CPG & Beverage Brands and how he finds balance while having his hands in various projects.
I've known Mitch for MANY years - we first met way back in the day when I worked as an Experiential Marketer for Vega and I did a lot of collabs with him while he worked at Station Cold Brew and even though we don't keep in touch closely anymore, through the power of social media and the art of a podcasting we have remained friends and I love catching up with him.

If you're listening to this show it's my BEST GUESS that you already ARE a successful business owner OR that you are working to start your business and it's all starting to come together.
And perhaps you tune into this show because of the 100's of interviews with successful entrepreneurs that inspire you or perhaps you enjoy the behind the scenes stuff that I share in solo episodes.
Regardless, you guys know I like to keep it SUPER real with you and today something is on my mind that I need to share.
You need ONE day at the start of the week that is CALL-FREE and that SETS YOU UP FOR SUCCESSS.
For me, that day is Monday.
And this is a total hack for becoming a successful entrepreneur.
And I know I know, It's SO simple.
But I promise you that a productive Monday and in particular a Monday morning routine will build a week of massive momentum.
Seriously, if you want to be successful, you need to start your week off right by getting shit done. That means needle moving, value driving, income generating activities.

Do you look forward to creating?
When you build your digital portfolio, does it feel exciting to be adding work to it?
It's easy to get caught up in creating content for an audience of one million, or ten million, or even just a thousand.
But the truth is that if your work doesn't make YOU better, than you'll give up when it feels hard.
So ask yourself, who is your audience of one? And how can you create content that will make THEM better? When you focus on creating content for an audience of one, you'll find that the process is more fulfilling and the results are more lasting. So don't be afraid to put yourself first, and create content that will help you grow as a person. Who knows, maybe your work will even inspire someone else to do the same!

As an entrepreneur, there are a million decisions that need to be made on a daily basis.
Some of these are small and insignificant (what should I post on social today), but others can have a major impact on the future of your business (aka when should I throw in the towel and call it quits on a business that isn’t working)
When you're faced with a big decision, it can be difficult to know what the right course of action is. This is where inner clarity comes in.
Taking the time to connect with your inner wisdom will help you to see the situation more clearly and make decisions that are in alignment with your values and goals.
Inner clarity is not something that you can force or fake, but it is something that you can cultivate through practice. And this is the expertise of Intuitive Counselor, Colin Matthews.
Colin has studied with many of today’s great spiritual masters (Marshall Rosenberg, Caroline Myss, Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz), he founded and ran a successful community of Yoga Studios for over 16 years, and is certified as a medical intuitive.
Today he uses his intuitive gifts to support many along their path, including entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. I’ve also had the great pleasure of working with Colin as his marketing coach, and I am immensely grateful for all that Colin has taught ME in our time working together.
In this episode, we explore how to make decisions with inner clarity and I think you’re going to love it!

Desperate energy is something that you should avoid if you want to be successful in business.
It's actually toxic and will turn people away from working with you or even paying attention to your content.
Desperate energy is characterized by a sense of urgency and desperation. You might feel like you're running out of time to make this business work or that you have to sign the client RIGHT NOW.
This can lead to making poor decisions, being impulsive, and not thinking things through - short game thinking. And if you’re in your business for the long game, this is counterproductive.
Desperate energy is also very exhausting, both physically and mentally. You push push push and then burnout and disappear in order to recover. All that hard work and then you just give up or go dark.
In this episode, I share a quick thought on Desperate Energy so that you can check in with yourself and see where you're at!

This week on the Visionary Life Podcast I sat down with Danielle Weibe, founder of Business Babes Collective.
Her live events, entrepreneur masterminds and her Top Podcast are CRUSHING IT right now and you definitely will want to learn how she’s built such a successful business.
Now as a new mom, she’s finding BALANCE among it all - but still managing to do what she loves, everyday.
In this episode we chat about...
How she built a PODCAST that ranks in the top 1.5% globally, WHY joining a mastermind a GREAT idea to propel your business forward, How Danielle balances her CAREER, her AMBITION and MOTHERHOOD, How to leverage STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS + {PARTNERSHIPS to build massive momentum.
Are you a small business owners that is struggling to find balance between work and health?
If you answered yes, you're not alone.
Juggling the demands of a business can be tricky. It might feel like you traded a 9-5 for the 24/7, or that you’ll never get a real day off.
But your health needs to remain a priority as you work hard to grow your business! Even making the smallest of changes in your daily routine can have a big impact on your overall well-being and excitement you feel towards your work.
Before I began my consulting career as a Business & Marketing Coach, I spent many years working in the Health and Fitness Industry.
I was a marketing managers for Health Brands, I taught Spin Classes, and I even had my own Nutrition Coaching Business for many years.
Health has always been a passion of mine, so it felt natural to continue to prioritize my health as I started my business. But it isn’t always easy!
In this blog, I have compiled 10 life-changing health habits (all of which I have implemented!) for entrepreneurs.
Pick 1 or 2 that resonate, and see how you can start incorporating them into your own routine.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to Build a Family Chocolate Empire, and stay grounded and sane while doing it?

Sitting down in-person with Mid-Day Squares for an interview was a dream come true, but I was also TERRIFIED.

Ya, that was ME!
But, I managed to pull my sh!t together and host an EPIC interview. And now, I get to share it with you!
In this episode, we talked about everything from...
What inspired them to start the company and push through the challenges that presented?
What's it like working with family and who they hired for Family Therapy!
Is there a new flavour coming down the pipeline?
If you're looking for some SERIOUS business inspiration (and maybe even the secret family recipe to keeping a business fun and enjoyable) this interview is for you!
These three entrepreneurs took a risk starting their own business.
Not only are they following their passion but they're doing it together as a family! Talk about #goals... if these guys can do it, YOU CAN TOO!

Thanks for stopping by, visionary!
I am a Business & Marketing Coach and the Founder of BecomeFullyBooked.com, a platform that I created to help business owners take their business from Half Booked to Fully Booked using growth frameworks and innovative marketing strategies
I also host the Visionary Life Podcast (https://kelseyreidl.com/podcast), a Top Canadian Business podcast that has been producing weekly episodes with some of Canada’s Top Entrepreneurs since 2018.
I have spoken about Marketing at companies like Google, Salesforce and Bumble - and it is my mission to make marketing FUN again, without relying on Complicated ClickFunnels or Expensive Facebook Ads
When I am not creating content to inspire the Visionary Community, I can be found adventuring on my Mountain Bike, Paddleboarding down the river in my backyard, or traveling the world with my Husband Dave in search of the best coffee shops and craziest experiences (jumping through Swiss Canyons and snowboarding the Alps are some of my favorite memories, to date)

Become Fully Booked™ 2 Hour Implementation Workshop to Find More Clients: https://www.kelseyreidl.com/shop/p/become-fully-booked
This podcast describes how you can start a successful coaching or consulting business this year!
Did you know that coaching is one of the fastest-growing professions in the world?
In 2022, the coaching industry is expected to be worth $2.3 billion! If you're looking to start a successful coaching business, now is the time to do it.
Here are just a few of the reasons why you should start your own coaching business this year:
- You can be your own boss - One of the great things about being a coach is that you can be your own boss. You can set your own hours, work from home, and make your own schedule. This gives you the freedom to work around your other commitments and create a lifestyle that works for you.
- You can make a difference in people's lives - As a coach, you have the opportunity to really make a difference in people's lives. You can help them overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential. This is an incredibly rewarding experience that can bring immense satisfaction.
- You can earn a great income - Coaches are in high demand, and if you build up a successful practice, you can earn a very healthy income. This means that you can live the lifestyle you want and enjoy financial security.
If you're not sure where to start, there are plenty of resources available to help you get started, including books, online courses, and even business & marketing coaches like myself who can help you launch your business or grow it from Half-Booked to Fully Booked.

Everyday, people choose to spend money with your business for a REASON.
Do you know what that reason is?
Are you clear on that thing that sets you apart from your competitors?
My guess is that many of you listening are thinking, well I kinda know… I think… I could figure it out. But without clear positioning right now, you are leaving money on the table while your customers choose to work with a competitor, because they don’t know what sets you apart.
Let’s not let that happen any longer.
April Dunford is a globally recognized leader in positioning and she has a deep curiosity about what makes the difference between a winning product and a loser. And she’s here today to share exactly how we can ALL become winners, through proper positioning.
I want you to listen to this episode, maybe twice, if you’re a business owner who has ambitions to grow over the coming months.
This is something I struggled with for SO long - but NOT anymore!
In this episode, April Dunford and I talk about:
- Why positioning is so important for growing your business
- The 5 components of effective positioning
- The 10 step process to writing your positioning statement and how to use it
- The most important parts of your statement and specific tips on how to write it
- Why niching down is actually doing to help you reach MORE people
- How she determined and packaged up her unique methodology
- Her favourite marketing books
Be sure to grab a copy of April’s book, Obviously Awesome: How to Nail Product Positioning so Customers Get It, Buy It, Love It anywhere books are sold and head to https://www.aprildunford.com/ for all her work.
And for the past 3 months, I've been working on something really epic for Service Providers, Coaches and Consultants who want to Become Fully Booked, and it all begins with an Implementation Workshop for 15 people, at the end of August.
If you want Early Access to admissions, just fill out the (short) application and I'll tell you about it first.

There are a million little ways to turn a ROUTINE CLIENT INTERACTION into a remarkable one, and today I’m going to focus on 3 of them!
In our fast-paced, mostly digital world, it's easy to get caught up in the transactional aspects of our work and in our lives.
- We fire off emails rather than picking up the phone,
- We cut straight to the chase rather than asking our customers how their weekend was,
- And the at the end of the workday, we buy things online rather than at the local shops & hermit in our homes to order dinner to our doorstep
While there's nothing wrong with convenience, it's important to remember that we're human beings, not robots. We crave connection, experience and interaction. We want to feel like we're part of something larger than ourselves.
But these moments of meaning are becoming increasingly rare.
The opportunity for you is that it’s the little things like creating memorable experiences, story-telling, and differentiating from your peers that CREATE these talkable moments, and they make a big difference in how your customers perceive you, your product and their receptivity to doing business with you.
And the best part is that creating a talkable moment isn’t going to add extra work to your day. It’s simply about doing ONE thing that customers NOTICE and TALK about.
When we do this, we not only make the world a more enjoyable place, but we also make our CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS more memorable.
In this episode, I will share with you 3 simple ways to improve any client experience and to turn every interaction into a talkable moment.
Say hello to this weeks guest, Emma Stern.
Emma takes us behind the scenes and shares How She Built Felix Health, Canada’s first end-to-end digital healthcare platform.
This week, we are chatting with Emma Stern, co-founder and chief operating officer of Felix Health, Canada’s first end-to-end digital healthcare platform—from diagnosis to delivery, we make it easy to get prescription treatments.
Emma is a force and someone to watch, a true visionary and perfect fit for this podcast.
What stood out most to me in our conversation was the line about “If your excitement is contagious, people cannot help but get on board.”
When you think about the opposite… having a non-contagious lack of excitement… you get a visual of a sinking ship.
I always say to my clients that they need to become their OWN biggest fans and that if you’re not the most excited person about your offer, nobody else really cares.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Her transition from her corporate job in investment banking to startup entrepreneur
- Character traits that helped her to NOT give up
- Finding BALANCE as as female founder
- What keeps you motivated when life or work is getting the best of you?
- Tell us about the Mission and The Why behind Felix. Why are you different?
- What were some of the first steps you took to bring the idea to life and test the demand?
- AND MORE!

Today I’m chatting with Devon Turcotte, a Certified Career Strategies and the owner and founder of Careerified, a career exploration service.
Devon is doing really important work in our world, which involves helping GenZ to build intentional careers and to support mental health by helping them find their path.
The pressure to decide on a career path at such a young age is unnecessary and unfair. Kids should be free to explore different options and figure out what they're passionate about without feeling like they have to make a decision that will shape the rest of their lives. That’s where Devon Turcotte, Founder of Careerified, comes in.
Devon and I chat about…
- How building a business is similar to job searching and some of the things you can do to make it success
- Connection between mental health and career development,
- Where passion fits in to finding a career (and whether you should chase it or let it grow from the good work you do)

I had a conversation with Jason Brown that totally blew my mind, because he thinks outside of the box and challenges his way of being & thinking every single day.
He's always challenging his own beliefs and looking at things from different perspectives. This allows him to come up with new and innovative solutions to problems, including his recent venture of launching dripdrop.gg, the mental fitness app for families.
He's not afraid to take risks, and he's always seeking out new opportunities - something he calls ‘Following The Nudges’. This willingness to try new things has led to his success in a variety of ventures.
Some of the other awesome things you’re going to learn from Jason in the podcast include:
The Benefits of Getting Into Your Body
Whether that’s by doing mushrooms, practicing breathwork, doing meditation, or taking long walks -- whatever you need to do to stop suppressing your emotions and feelings so that you can truly connect to what your mind and body are saying is going to be SO advantageous for your personal and professional growth.
This is a topic often overlooked by hustle culture, but something Jason deeply believes in.
Business Ideas Hide in the Mountains!
In the mountainous terrain of Quebec is where Jason solidified the idea for dripdrop.gg! Tune in to hear the full story…
Pay attention to your Default Programming
Most of us are oblivious to the fact that we have downloaded other people’s programs into our minds and bodies, and then we run these programs like they’re our own!
Jason talks a lot about removing the programs that aren’t serving you fully, and then asking which ones you want to replace them with? This is an important topic for anyone with a Growth Mindset.

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of an Online Business & Marketing Coach looks like?My role as a Business and Marketing Coach is always evolving. Each week I have new clients to onboard, new challenges to work with my clients on, and new marketing tools that I am testing out.
As such, there is no typical day in the life of a Business & Marketing Coach. However, there are a few common threads that run through the work of most coaches.
Business and marketing coaches typically work with clients one-on-one or in small groups, helping them to develop customized plans for achieving their business goals. They also often provide guidance on topics such as time management, goal setting, and effective marketing strategies.
In addition, Business & Marketing Coaches may also offer workshops and webinars on various aspects of business and marketing. As the industry continues to grow, the role of Business & Marketing Coach is to stay atop the trends so that they can share them with their clients.
In this episode, I am sharing what a day in the life looks like for me as someone who works from home full-time, has a lot of hobbies outside of work, and who loves to maximize each day both personally and professionally.
Enjoy the episode.

Do you believe that there’s a correlation between our HEALTH and the success of our BUSINESS?
According to today’s guest, Dr. Navaz, there sure is. In fact, he’s lived it.
Dr. Navaz knows first hand that changing your state of health can drastically change your output as a business owner… When he found himself tipping the scales at 250 pounds, he knew he needed to make a change.
He transformed his health and his energy levels over the coming months using several of the strategies that we discuss in today’s episode… and in turn, Navaz also managed to accelerate the growth of this business-- seeing a 100% increase in revenue in just 1 year.
Dr. Navaz practices as a Functional Medicine Practitioner - working with a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives and professional athletes to optimize their health, vitality and performance.
He’s also the author of a book called Activate Your Vagus Nerve, which shares information on how to Improve the function of the most important nerve for your health. You’ve probably never even heard of it right?
This week I’m excited to introduce you to Jessica Malach, current VP of Marketing & Insights for Social Nature, which is a discovery platform powered by a half-million natural shoppers.
Jessica is truly the pioneer of this concept of Online-to-Offline Marketing, so I can think of no greater guest than her to enlighten us on this topic!
In fact, she literally authored the e-book called The Complete Guide to Online-to-Offline (O2O) Marketing for CPG Brands featuring 50 pages of tips from 17 CPG expert contributors!
If you’re a brand that promotes online and sells in stores, this episode is a must listen.

Today on the show I am sitting down with Mellisa Mills who founded a Canadian Plant-Based Cheese Empire.
That empire is called Spread’Em Kitchen and they make the most delicious plant-based cheeses, ever!
Made with a base of cashews, Spread’Em cheeses make for a healthy and much more delicious alternative to typical Cream Cheeses or Cheese Bricks.
Personally, I am obsessed with the Chive & Garlic Cream Cheese, The Classic Greek Inspired Cheese Block, and the Spinach Cashew Dip.
Every single product that they make contains the highest quality ingredients that you can feel good about putting into your body.
Spread’Em Kitchen exploded across Canada in 5 years and grew from $500 in sales to almost 4 Million in a short time.
From ‘home kitchen’ to building her own 20,000 square foot facility in Richmond B.C, Mellisa also has a small team of people helping her spread the goodness and she is on a mission to give back to the community.
My conversation with Mellisa is real, honest, and transparent. She speaks openly about her humble beginnings and about the work it took to get to where they are today.

Hosting a podcast is a lot of work.
Sometimes it feels like you're dragging yourself uphill through quicksand, but when you reach the top and look back…you've hosted 200 episodes!
Holy crap!
Alongside the challenges there have also been a number of funny, random and serendipitous stories that I have never shared publicly before.
Things like FORGETTING to record an episode and having to break it to the guest,
Having random guests join your interview at the last minute!
And being let in on some REALLY BIG SECRETS because your guest can't contain themselves.
It has been an amazing 4 years / 200 episodes and I’m so grateful for all of the wonderful listeners (you!) who have let me slide into your earphones.
Thank you to each and every one of you, and also to my incredible sound engineer Dave Drago (my husband) who is a huge part of why this podcast is such a success!
With that said, we still want your suggestions on what topics should be covered in future episodes.
If there's something specific that interests you or a guest that you think is a fit, please message me on Instagram @kelseyreidl.
We're always looking for new ideas!

Changing careers is a daunting task.
Quitting your day job to start your own business can be downright scary.

In this episode I share The Truths All Entrepreneurs Must Hear and tips for Starting A Business in 2022.

Cheryl Torrance aka Chef Inked aka Uncle Chuck is BACK on the podcast for her second appearance - this time to talk about her new venture.
You might remember Cheryl from episode 3. The early days of the show!
Chery was one of our first guests on Visionary Life, and almost 4 years ago I remember taking the TTC to the spin studio she works at called Torq, and sitting on the windowsill recording with a single $90 microphone.
Let’s just say, a LOT has changed since then! Both for Cheryl and for the podcast.
Today, I’m hanging out with Cheryl virtually to learn all about Uncle Chucks BBQ sauces: where the idea came from, how she’s now selling them in 5 stores, and what the future looks like for the business.
Cheryl holds nothing back in this episode, and I really think you’re going to dig it!
We talk about:
- What it’s like being on a TV show
- Why she left the food industry after 20 years
- What brought her back and nudged her to launch her own brand, Uncle Chucks
- & why she’s scaling slowly

Today on the show, I’m sitting down with a Canadian Food Legend - Peter Neal.
Peter Neal is one half of the brotherly duo behind Neal Brothers Foods.
You’ve probably indulged in their epic Corn Tortilla Chips dipped in salsa, or their insanely tasty pasta sauces… but did you know that this well known Canadian Food Brand and Distribution Company started as 2 brothers making croutons out of their parents kitchen?
Yepp, it’s true.
Over 33 years ago, Neal Brothers began as a simple startup and today it has grown into something SO MUCH MORE.
In this episode we chat about…
- The moment he knew he was a natural born salesman
- Why having belief in yourself and in your products is so important
- What some of the early successes were in the Neal Bro’s journey, that gave them hope
- The role of curiosity and asking questions, when you don’t have all the answers
- And some of the tips and lessons learned after 33 years of business!

This week on the Marketing Hotline, I’m sitting down with Jesse Cole, who is the founder of Fans First Entertainment, the creator of The Savannah Bananas and the author of Find Your Yellow Tux.
His teams have welcomed more than one million fans to their ballparks and have been featured on MSNBC, CNN, ESPN and in Entrepreneur Magazine, but it wasn’t always sunshine & bananas in Jesse’s world.
Just over 5 years ago he and his wife Emily were sleeping on an air mattress after draining their bank account, about to take the biggest risk of their life. You’ll need to tune in to hear about it!
I first was introduced to Jesse and his epic story through the I Love Marketing Podcast, and I can honestly say that from the moment he started talking I was hooked. He’s a marketing genius!
Jesse’s approach to building a BRAND rather than a business and creating FANS not customers is the type of marketing that I stand behind 110%. He’s not preaching expensive Facebook ads or fancy funnels, just an epic product and a memorable experience.
Jesse is about to share SO much wisdom with you all and I can promise you that whether you’re running a baseball team like Jesse or just starting a little home based business - his marketing tips are going to ROCK YOUR WORLD.
If you want to grab a copy of Jesse’s Book, it’s called Find Your Yellow Tux: How to Be Successful by Standing Out.
Jesse ALSO hosts his own podcast, called Business Done Differently.
If you’re ready to Stand Out by thinking different, creating attention and creating fans for life - then this is the episode for you.

Today, I’m sitting down with Blake Fleischacker (aka Blake Fly) who is a master of many things, but most notable for his unique ability to connect with anyone.
He might be one of the most inspiring, creative and appreciative individuals I have ever met.
To begin, I want to share how Blake’s work has impacted my life and my business.
- Because of Blake, I send my friends and family members text messages when I think of them
- Because of Blake, I am empowered to send messages of gratitude and snail mail just to say “thinking of you”
- Because of Blake, I have signed new clients
- Because of Blake, I believe in the power of Scrap Paper, Road Signs & Cereal Boxes.
I know, you’re totally lost and have no clue what I mean - but by tuning into this episode and learning from Blake on the power of Unexpected Appreciation, Gratitude & Creative Connection - you’re going to have a whole new appreciation for how SIMPLE marketing and business growth can be.
My visionary community already knows Blake quite well because he’s spoken inside of TVM before, but if you’ve never met Blake a few things to know about him are that he is a 8Time TEDx Speaker and currently he helps entrepreneurs connect to anyone and grow their business by delivering unexpected appreciation and gratitude. Also, he’s an amazing event producer.
In this episode, we dive into...
- Why he started sending random kind emails to people and what their reactions were
- How he landed a $15,000 speaking gig a mere few weeks before his wedding, because of a photo he sent
- The power of public accountability in reaching your goals
- And the 6th annual Thank U Live event that he’s currently pouring into (click here to get your ticket!!)
Blake is an idea-holic (is that a word!?) who is going to FIRE YOU UP inside this episode.
If you’re inspired to snap a screenshot of the episode and thank HIM for his wisdom, be sure to tag him on Instagram @blakefly and to learn more about his work head to www.instantconnecting.com

Today, I’m sitting down with Julia Rose, a Content Writer and Communications Expert (& part-time dancer!)
Julia is doing INCREDIBLE work in the realm of helping people press publish on personal essays.
I know I know, you just checked out as soon as I said the word “essay” right, but our guest of the show today, Julia Rose, is going to walk us through why personal essays can be the secret to expressing yourself, launching a successful brand and being a subject matter expert.
I am SO fond of Julia’s work and love what she’s created inside of her Hello Writer program. The story of how she created this group experience is something you won’t want to miss, if you ALSO aspire to launch a group program or online course at some point.
In this episode, Julia and I talk about…
- How being fired (on a Friday!) was the catalyst for her to start her own business
- The impact that publishing her work on Medium.com had
- A simple method for choosing what to write about
- How to get over the fear of putting yourself out there

Today, I’m sitting down with Stephanie Long, Business Coach for Nutritionists.
She’s back!
Returning for her 2nd… or actually, maybe 3rd appearance on the show - let me re-introduce you to Fan Favourite, Stephanie Long.
Steph is a business coach for nutritionists, the founder of the launch your nutrition biz program, the host of the next level nutrition biz podcast - and recently, the girl who took 1 month off from her business!
Yepp, you heard that right, Steph took august completely off from work because she wanted to focus on herself and on recharging.
After reconnecting with the WHY behind starting her business, which was to have more freedom and flexibility, Steph decided to step back for the month of august and the best part was that the business didn’t become irrelevant.
After learning about her little sabbatical, I was SO inspired to start prepping for one of my own in the future, and wanted to sit down with her and ask her how it went. Was she scared that she would be forgotten? How did she communicate this to her clients? Was there anything she would have done differently?
In this episode, Steph and I also chat about…
- How she’s been setting up more funnels, automation and evergreen content inside of her business and how it’s going
- The power of discipline in creating FREEDOM
- The power of data and metrics in improving the flow of her funnels
- And whether or not she will stay niched down to working with mostly nutritionists
I admire Steph so much for the business she has built, and more than just being a podcast guest - Steph is also a friend!
Even though we’ve never officially met in person, our lives have run many parallel courses and we never hesitate to reach out to ask each other business questions or share wins and successes.

This week, I’m sitting down with my friend and visionary method alumni Krista.
On Instagram as @kristako.rd because her last name is slightly hard to pronounce, she is the go-to resource for dieticians who want to amplify the success of their business.
Krista founded the Dietitian Success Center just 6 months ago, and has already grown it to almost 200 members - and I wanted to bring her on to the podcast to share more about her journey of navigating her career as a dietitian, and taking the “unconventional” route even when it felt challenging.
In this episode, Krista and I chat about…
- What she did when she first graduated from school
- How she was able to go freelance and match her corporate salary
- The simple marketing and lead gen strategy that she used to begin her 1:1 coaching practice

Today, I’m sitting down with Giovanni Angelucci, Founder of Queen St. Bakery.From their website:
Queen Street Bakery was built on the belief that food companies should be as transparent about what they put into their food as what they remove. Because we know all to well that just because something is gluten-free, doesn’t mean it’s good for you.That’s why we’re proud to make our breads, buns and doughs from simple functional ingredients that feel good to eat. Ingredients that are naturally full of fiber and protein and naturally free from gluten, nuts and dairy.Their breads, buns, pizza dough and baking flours can be found across Canada and they are leading the gluten-free, allergen-free and taste-FULL bread category.
Just one taste of their White Bean & Millet Seed bread or their Cinnamon Raisin Loaf will be enough to convert you. These products are insanely delicious and more than that, they’re packed with nutrients.
In this conversation, we’re rewinding back to just a few years ago when Giovanni first had the idea to start a bakery and how that led them to finding placement in 100’s and 100’s of stores across Canada.
Giovanni and I chat about:
- The startup story of Queen Street Bakery
- Where the idea for the business originated
- How they got into Canada’s largest grocery store chain (Loblaw’s)
- The #1 ingredient you need before pitching to investors for money
- Business and marketing skills that he’s trying to upgrade as a Founder
- The true definition of an entrepreneur
- Why everything is cyclical
- Marketing strategies that have been working REALLY well for Queen Street Bakery, even throughout the pandemic when sampling is not possible
- & more
Also, you can find Queen St. Bakery products in the frozen aisle at Healthy Planet (our show sponsor!), so don’t forget to check the frozen aisle when you’re shopping at one of their MANY stores across Ontario!

This week, I am sitting down with a very special guest named Zoe Pink, who is a Happiness Coach.
For as long as Zoe could remember she wished for happiness whenever she found a penny, saw the first star of the evening, or had a birthday candle to wish upon.
It was the simple dream of a little girl whose childhood was profoundly bleak. Zoe suffered through poverty; physical, emotional and sexual abuse; bullying and depression.
But even in that darkness there were moments when her heart would tell her that happiness WAS possible.
Her journey has been anything BUT linear and she’s a true example of how strength and purpose can come from our biggest challenges and struggles.
I admire Zoe for so many reasons, but one that I’d like to call out is her willingness to be vulnerable, open and honest. One of her goals is to become more visible which is certainly not easy, but she rose to the task of this podcast with confidence and calmness.
In this episode, we’re pulling the curtains back on…
- What her childhood was like and how that shaped who she is today
- The journey towards becoming a Happiness Coach
- Some of the first steps she took to set up her website
- How The Visionary Method Coaching supported her next level of growth
- And tips for getting more visible when it doesn’t come naturally

Do you believe that there’s a correlation between our health and the success of our business?According to today’s guest, Dr. Navaz, there sure is. In fact, he’s lived it.
And I couldn’t agree more.
Dr. Navaz knows first hand that changing your state of health can drastically change your output as a business owner.
When he found himself tipping the scales at 250 pounds, he knew he needed to make a change.He transformed his health and his energy levels over the coming months using several of the strategies that we discuss in today’s episode… and in turn, Navaz also managed to accelerate the growth of this business-- seeing a 100% increase in revenue in just 1 year.
Dr. Navaz practices as a Functional Medicine Practitioner - working with a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives and professional athletes to optimize their health, vitality and performance.
He’s also the author of a book called Activate Your Vagus Nerve, which shares information on how to Improve the function of the most important nerve for your health. You’ve probably never even heard of it right?
I would highly suggest digging into his book or his resources, because it’s super fascinating stuff!
As many of you know, I used to practice as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, so the topic of Health is near and dear to my heart.
I could talk forever about the correlations between how I take care of myself and the growth of my business, but I wanted to bring on a true expert in the field.
Let’s welcome Dr. Navaz to the show so that he can share The Top 10 Health Upgrades for Entrepreneurs or anyone looking to make a positive change in their life, health or business.Connect with Dr. Navaz
I was never someone who really resonated with the traditional “New Year, New Goals” tradition because I like to set goals throughout the year and on an ongoing basis, as opposed to making it a one time annual event.
I don’t necessarily set goals in the traditional way either, in that I will often find quirky ways to solidify the goal in my head.
If you’re a non-traditional goal setter like me (perhaps, a goal-setting rebel) then I want to share some of my tips with you for setting meaningful, reachable goals on an ongoing basis.
This method takes the pressure off of knowing exactly what you want out of your life and business in a 1 hour goal planning session, and instead honours the fact that you are a constantly evolving human being with changing needs and new perspectives.
Here are 5 ways that I set goals, in a non-traditional (but still super-successful) manner. Whether you’re an aspiring online entrepreneur (pssssssst, have you heard of The Visionary Method™) or just want to set some simple health goals, I am certain you will find success in picking one of these methods.

Today, I’m sitting down with Rivers Corbett.Rivers Corbett is a serial entrepreneur, a passionate mentor, and most recently he is the founder of an experience company called ChefTorial which offers virtual culinary experiences hosted by Top Tier Chefs, that you can tune into from the comfort of your own home!
The idea to launch ChefTorial was actually a pivot that Rivers was forced to make when COVID hit, since his previous company taught all in person events - so this conversation is one of adapting, pivoting, and responding to change.
… Something Rivers is NO stranger to!
He’s been an entrepreneur for over 20+ years and has learned a thing or two about what it REALLY takes to succeed.
In this episode, Rivers and I discuss…
- How he was able to start a Chef Talent Agency, even though he’s not a chef (& how you can do the same)
- Why it’s important to look for the opportunity or lesson in every challenge
- How taking care of yourself is actually priority #1 as a business owner
- The books that he recommended all new business owners read
- Why his burger chain, Relish, ended up shutting down due to bankruptcy
- Why it’s important that we normalize failure
- & so many other real lessons
Connect with Rivers on Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/riverscorbett/?originalSubdomain=ca

Jana Webb is the creator of the wildly popular JOGA World: The governing body of Yoga for Sport; NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, MLS and Olympics.
In addition to being the founder of a wildly popular strength -based Yoga Method for athletes, Jana is also a fighter, a resilient mom, an entrepreneur, and an unstoppable visionary who has pushed through numerous setbacks and challenges in her life.
One of those setbacks was a life or death car accident that happened in the Dominican Republic which left her body broken, just a mere few days after she had signed a million dollar lease for her first physical JOGA Studio in Toronto.
It’s hard to imagine how she could have possibly persevered through a broken back & a traumatic brain injury in order to continue to bring her dream fitness studio to life, but she did.
What started as a curiosity in how she could bring Yoga to athletes has turned into a journey beyond what she could have imagined.
Simply following her inner voice when it felt confusing has brought her to a place today, building JOGA as an Online Brand that is helping train athletes & certify instructors all over the world. To date, over 700 individuals have moved through JOGA training. Wow.
In this episode, Jana pulls the curtains back for us on…* How she was introduced to yoga in her early years as a form of rehab after a car accident * How yoga & particularly her method JOGA saves her life after her car accident, and why she was in the Dominican to begin with * Why she signed on to the cast of The Real Housewives of Toronto * What it was like to build a business from her hospital bed * The heartbreak of running out of money & closing the studio * How she has found opportunity through COVID 19 * Why she’s decided to be more open, honest and vulnerable rather than pretending everything is ok * & MORE

On this episode, I’m pulling the curtains back on some of “the dips” or “valley’s” that I’ve pushed through, in order to find some peaks in my entrepreneurial journey.

Today, I’m sitting down with Natalie Brite.There’s a lot of toxicity that exists in the social media universe and in the online business space, right now.On a daily basis we are exposed to...
- Hustle culture, the idea that working more is better
- We’re exposed to influencers who are selling us products they’ve never even tried
- Coaches are using fancy cars & designer handbags to project that they’re living a dream lifestyle, when in reality they are just as scared as you that they won’t be able to pay off their next credit card statement
I can’t even believe this is where we’ve landed, but it’s real!
When we really step back and look at what’s happening, we can see that many of these toxic business rituals are rooted in insecurity and scarcity, and many of them are just unethical.
As business owners it is our duty to stay true to our moral code and to build a business that’s reflective of our core values.
Since we often pass along what WE were taught to our own communities, we have to adopt the Top Down Mentality whereby Better, More Conscious businesses STARTS WITH US.
This is exactly what our guest of the show today will be addressing.
When thinking about how I could introduce the topic of Ethical Business to you, my visionaries, an incredible entrepreneur named Natalie Brite came to mind.
Natalie Brite is a writer, educator, mentor and consultant for the topics of ethical business ideation, branding, content marketing, service development, and transformative leadership.

- The top business and marketing trends she’s seen thus far in 2021

- Why she encourages her community turn up the rebel, revolutionary and visionary archetype right now
- Harmful business systems that we currently accept as “normal”
- Flipping the way we practice marketing and selling
- Her definition of “Growth Mania”

- Why the Hustle Economy isn’t right for everyone
- Why it’s impossible to exist in a constant state of growth

Today, I’m taking the mic for a Solo Episode.It’s been a while since I recorded a solo episode, for you.
We’ve just had such incredible guests throughout Season 7 that I didn’t feel worthy of hogging the mic (lol!). Hopefully you had a chance to tune into some of the past episode we did, chatting with…
- Connor Carrick
- Dr. Stephanie
- Jenn Pike
- Jesse Chappus
- Leila Keshavjee
All of the Season 7 Episodes can be found here >>
In today’s episode of the podcast, I want to share a Personal Update on all things Visionary! I know that many of you have enjoyed these in the past. Where I just talk, raw and real, and let you know what’s happening.
These are episodes I love listening to when I tune into other peoples podcasts, so let’s try it out!
I’ll dive into...
- What it's been like moving from Toronto (population 3 million) to Paris, Ontario (population 15,000)
- How my business has been impacted by this move
- Initial reflections on how I've changed as a person, since moving here
Before I get into it, I want to share a few WINS (aka Celebrations from Visionary HQ!)
This is something we do each week inside of The Visionary Method (whether it’s “I just started a Instagram Account” or “I signed my first client at my new pricing!” we are always looking for ways to celebrate the Visionary Community.

Onto the Weekly Wins!…
- We welcomed in 6 new visionaries in Visionary Coaching Experiences in the past 6 weeks. Life coach, financial experts, Nutritionists, bake shop owner, mountain bike experiences owner…
- Google rankings are crushing it (SEO is working in my favour BIG TIME!!!). I’ll be breaking this down on an April Visionary Method Coaching Call
- Landed 3 podcast sponsors for the Visionary Life Podcast, all of whom I adore and use frequently.
- My assistant Alex is now the TVM program manager and she runs much of the ship
There have always been challenges, among these wins…
- I need to get better at delegating. There’s a lot on my plate that I no longer need to be doing!
- Another thing I want to create space and time for is holding the vision of Visionary Inc, while showing up in the present for my clients. Making time to dream and explore what’s possible is something that easily falls away when time is tight.
How about you?
What are your wins?
What’s challenging?
Anything I can help you with?
Let’s get into the episode - a recap on the past 6 months…Topic # 1
What it's been like moving from Toronto (population 3 million) to Paris, Ontario (population 15,000)?
- My nervous system is calming down and unlearning the hustle and pressure I put on myself in Toronto
- I think I could be happy anywhere, so it’s been wonderful
- Things I’ve enjoyed include: meeting new people, finding new ways to adventure (canoe, paddle board, night hikes, cycling routes, gravel rides)
- Of course, there is so much I miss from Toronto including: my VISIONARY HQ (office), meeting people at the Drake for beers, the endless amount of good food, the walking and running routes, my cycling crew BOW+, the beach volleyball
Topic # 2
How my business has been impacted by this move?
- I had a lot of hesitation around the limiting belief of “would I be able to run a business if I wasn’t in Toronto?”
- However, I have proved myself wrong! We are growing month over month
- In fact, March 2021 is our biggest month ever. In just 3 months I’ve surpassed the salary that I was once paid at a corporate job which blows my mind. It reminds me that there is NO limit when you own a business. The limit is your belief system
- I’m still networking, but now it’s online! I’ve been meeting the most awesome people regardless of whether I am in Paris or Toronto
Topic # 3
Initial reflections on how I've changed as a person, since moving here
- I haven’t! A move doesn’t change you…
- Same as when you travel (wherever you go, there you are)
- Dave and I always said in the house hunting journey, moving isn’t going to make us magically happier so just focus on being happy now.
- Houses, cars, fancy things… they bring you a quick dopamine hit and then what? You’re still left with the same life all around you
- I’ve found so much joy in simplicity here. Friday night fires, walking to our friends houses because everyone lives within 5 minutes, staring at the water
Jason is the Visionary Entrepreneur behind a brand new tech startup for kids & parents called DripDrop, and he is also the founder of an investment company called Misfits Global, where the vision is to invest in 100’s of start-ups in the coming years.
In addition to learning more about Jason’s most recent project, DripDrop, we are also chatting about Jason’s previous chapters including his time working for one of the hottest tech startups, chasing elite status, and doing all the things you think you should do in that world… but ultimately realizing that it wasn’t fully fulfilling him He knew something was missing.
Fast forward to today and Jason is almost unrecognizable from who he was a decade ago. We talk about this sharp contrast inside of the show.
In this conversation, he shares openly about…
- Why he says YES to things that scare the hell out of him
- The role that journaling, meditation, psilocybin & breathwork have played in his entrepreneurial journey
- Ways to identify your inner programming & also how to deprogram what doesn’t belong to you or serve you, anymore
- & so much more
Jason offers a lot of interesting perspectives in this episode, and I can’t wait to hear your takeaways. You might even want to bookmark this one so that you can listen twice.
I’ll share 3 of my favourite takeaways on the other side of this conversation.
One last thing before we jump in,
I learned in this episode that both DripDop and the Visionary Life Brand started in similar situations-- while we were hiking in the mountains.
That might just be my next piece of wisdom for anyone who wants to start a business, but has no clue what it could be… Go for a hike.

This week’s guest is Jonathan Goodman, a world leader in helping fit pros do better, have more, and go online - and the founder of @theptdc The Personal Trainer Development CenterA few years into his Personal Training Career, Jonathan Goodman injured himself and faced the reality that he would be off work for 2 whole weeks, unable to get himself to the gym to train his clients, and also unable to collect his paycheque.
It was at this point in his career when he started to imagine how he could package up his extensive knowledge and turn it into an info-based product.
And it should be noted that this was almost a decade ago, when online courses and certifications were certainly NOT the norm.
What came next was a business beyond his wildest imagination.
In today’s episode, Jonathan shares candidly what it took to build The Personal Trainer Development Center, which has now certified over 35,000 trainers around the globe.
Sure, from the outside, it may look like Jonathan has always had a carefully calculated plan to revolutionize the personal training industry, but there was a messy middle when he was simply putting one foot in front of the other, trying to find out how he could solve his community's pain points.
Jonathan is intelligent beyond belief, calculated in his approach, and visionary in the way he sees the future of his company. This was a wonderful conversation.
Tune in to hear…* Why 137 phone calls was the secret to figuring out his business plan, * How he launched his first info product using a beta test group, * Why data has driven so much of his companies growth, * Where the personal training industry is headed, * How artificial intelligence will play a massive role in all of our industries in the next 5 or so years, * What his team looks like today, * & MORE

This week, I’m sitting down with Leila Keshavjee, who is the founder of a Healthy (& Delicious) Popsicle brand, Happy Pops.Leila Keshavjee has been on the Visionary Life Podcast before, and today she returns for her second appearance!
Since my first conversion with Leila back in 2019, a lot has changed for her company, Happy Pops.
If you’re not familiar with Happy Pops or didn’t catch our first episode, Happy Pops are similar to your favourite childhood popsicles, but way healthier and made without the nasty sugars lurking in traditional Popsicles.
You might remember watching Leila pitch Happy Pops on Dragon’s Den OR perhaps you’ve even purchased a box from your local grocery store!
They are a regular in my grocery haul these days, especially because my husband Dave is obsessed!
We’ll dive into…
- Her journey as a Young Business Owner
- How 2020 went for this Food Brand and what some of the ups & downs of the pandemic year were
- Their influencer marketing strategy and whether it’s an advantageous marketing strategy for Happy Pops or not
- How Leila stays inspired and motivated as a business owner
- How they’re landing new channels of distribution across Canada
- Her continued desire to bring Healthy Happiness & Cultural Tastes to kitchens around the world
- Why it’s important to celebrate the small wins as a small business
- AND SO MUCH MORE
Enjoy this episode with Leila & don’t forget to keep reading to see my Prep Notes and 3 Visionary Takeaways.

There’s also a Happy Pops Giveaway happening over on my Instagram!
Jesse Chappus is a podcasting OG.
He started his first show almost a decade ago, and in 2014 he launched his current chart topping podcast, The Ultimate Health Podcast.
To date, the show has collected over 16 million downloads and their roster of guest interviews in the health and wellness space would make any health nut drool.
In this episode, rather than pick Jesse’s brain about health, we’re pulling the curtains back on how The Ultimate Health Podcast became a global podcast sensation.
Topics we’ll dive into…
- Secrets of his chart topping podcast
- The methods he uses for pitching world class guests to come on the show
- How they partner and land top quality sponsors & the journey of monetizing the show
https://www.instagram.com/ultimatehealthpodcast/
Lessons learned from this show include:
- When it comes to launching a podcast, make sure that monetization isn’t the ONLY goal. There’s so much heart and soul that needs to go into a podcast and monetization is more of a byproduct, then an initial consideration. It took UHP many years to get their roster of sponsors, and it’s worth noting that they didn’t rush the process.
- Quality content that excites you is the most important factor in producing a Top Ranked Podcast!
- If you’re not excited about the product, your followers won’t be either. Make sure you invest your time producing something you love and look forward to nurturing.
- If you’re feeling bored, uninspired or like you’ve hit a wall in your life, try to follow your curiosity and notice where you’re spending most of your free time.
- If you’re constantly watching YouTube videos about crafting or you read all the literature about Keto Diets - there’s something there for you to explore.

THIS WEEK, I’M SITTING DOWN WITH DR. STEPHANIE ESTIMA, WHO IS A TOTAL VISIONARY IN THE FIELD OF WOMEN’S HEALTH.Over the past year, not only have I had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Stephanie on a personal level - but I’ve watched her from the sidelines, as she has followed her heart in getting more visible & becoming the voice for women.
She’s the host of a Top Health podcast called Better! With Dr. Stephanie, the creator of a very successful online health program for women, and now she is also an author!

Today, we’re talking about mischief makers, propagandists, con artists, boundary breakers & hype artists.
Sounds pretty juicy, eh?
Our guest of the show is Michael F Schein who has spent the better part of the past 5 years studying all things HYPE.
Yepp, you heard that right!
Michael wants you to know that if you are a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, artist, activist, or thinker who is trying to make the world a better place, it is your moral imperative to learn how to harness raw emotion and irrational thinking to your benefit.
He wants you to understand how people make decisions, why they really get excited, and why they really choose to follow some people over others.
In order to do so, Michael has followed the Hype Experts to find out the commonalities & to reverse engineer how they do what they do.
Not only did I love recording this episode for all of you visionaries, but I deeply appreciated Michael’s perspective on all things marketing & brand building.
Our philosophies are completely in line and I love Michael’s take on standing out in a crowd.
If you want to learn about Ethical Hype & how to use it to grow your business, this is the episode for you! Enjoy this conversation with Michael F Shine.
You’ll most certainly want to get a copy of his brand new book The Hype Handbook: 12 Indispensable Success Secrets from the World's Greatest Propagandists, Self-Promoters, Cult Leaders, Mischief Makers, and Boundary Breakers which is now available.

On today’s show I am sitting down with Jenn Pike, who is a Hormone Nutritionist, Author & Brilliant Entrepreneur.
I have to admit, I didn’t know a lot about Jenn and her work before our conversation, but I am sitting here completely blown away by how brilliant and genuine this woman is. Many of you have been patiently awaiting this episode, and now I know why. Jenn is a true visionary.
In addition to opening up about her many successes as a business owner of over 15 years, Jenn is also pulling back the curtains to share the challenges and tougher moments that brought her to where she is today.
- Opening & ultimately selling her brick and mortar Pilates studio,
- Reaching burnout multiple times,
- & failing to give her family her best energy…
This is just SOME of the realness that Jenn and I are sharing in today’s conversation.
If you don’t know Jenn, she is…
- A Best-Selling Author of The Simplicity Project
- Creator of 2 revolutionary women's health online courses -- The Hormone Project and Synced.
- Creator of 3 sensational video-based movement programs - Rock Solid Booty, Sleeveless Strength, and Fit Fierce and Fluid.
- Host to Simplicity TV on YouTube
She’s also a Holistic Expert for Breakfast Television, Global, CHCH, Rogers TV and she writes columns for STRONG Fitness Magazine, iRun magazine, Savvy Mom and contributes to Inside Fitness Magazine, The Toronto Star and Sun.
3 VISIONARY TAKEAWAYS FROM OUR CONVERSATION:
- Before we started recording, Jenn and I were talking about “the dips” that business owners so often experience, but don’t always share. You know, those low moments in a day (which occur almost everyday in my workday if I am being honest) when you just feel like “it’s not working”.
- Yes, even Jenn has those moments! She talks about a technique she uses, which is simply tapping in & taking a pause. Removing the earbuds, taking some deep breaths, and asking “why isn’t this working”.
- This is something I am going to implement immediately, as I find that I tend to experience moments like this at least a few times per week!
- Second, I loved her perspective on closing her studio and how she sees it as a completion and not a failure.
- I think it’s so important for all of us to adopt this mindset shift when one chapter of our life closes and another opens. It’s not failure, it’s not something to regret, it’s simply a completion that is preparing you for what’s next.
- Finally, I appreciate how Jenn is transparent about the challenges that come alongside opening a Brick & Mortar studio.
- She said it was the hardest and most rewarding 5 years of her life, while she owned and operated her fitness studio. When she shared how tough it was in terms of finances, managing her team, dealing with landlords… it reminded me that it’s so important to support our brick & mortar shop owners when possible.
- They make our communities what they are, add vibrancy to our communities, and they deserve to be celebrated.

Connor Carrick is an NHL Veteran of 200+ games going into his 8th year professional, currently with the New Jersey Devils. He launched The Curious Competitor Podcast to explore what fuels holistic personal and professional growth for himself, his guests, and his audience.
Connor is wise beyond his years, and has so much to share when it comes to growth, goals & getting the most out of your life.
I met Connor at an event back in April of 2020 and he really stood out among the crowd.
I picked up on his strong work ethic, insatiable pursuit of growth, and hunger to maximize each and every day… chasing his most visionary life everyday.
Not only does he train full time as a National Hockey League Player, but off the ice he hosts the incredibly popular Curious Competitor Podcast. He’s also a husband, and has a little one on the way (or perhaps here) depending on when you’re listening to this.
Tune in to hear how Connor is able to perform at peak level, how he stays committed to the craft, what he’s currently geeking out on, and what inspired him to become the first active NHL player to enter the world of podcasting.

Sara is all about authentic storytelling for free-spirited and sentimental couples (have you seen her Wedding Photography Portfolio - wow!), empowering photographers to run a business on their own terms (Sara is the Outsourcing Queen!), and she is the host of The Shine & Thrive Podcast.
She’s a 3x guest, basically a visionary alumni at this point. You loved the first 2 conversations with her, and this is one will be no exception.
https://www.instagram.com/saramonikaphoto/
IN THIS EPISODE, WE CHAT ABOUT…Let’s catch up where we left off…
- You have your own podcast now, called Shine + Thrive
- Why did you decide to launch a podcast?
- What’s been the most rewarding part of creating & producing the show?
- Any unforeseen challenges?
- Can you recap how 2020 went for you, as a professional photographer who shoots mostly weddings & in-person events
Right at the start of the pandemic, you launched your first online course, Outsourcing Made Easy for Wedding Photographers
- Walk us through your journey of building this course
- Why did you decide to take the plunge into the world of Online Course Creation
- It’s a huge undertaking to build an online course - how did you stay on task and stay accountable?
- Any tips for aspiring online course creators, now that you’ve gone through the experience
- I love that before launching the course, you taught the framework of OME as a workshop in your home…
- Why did you start with in person sessions, was there a strategy here?
- I’m assuming this was also a great way to test the material, gain testimonials and to collect valuable feedback
Speaking of your course all about Outsourcing, we’d love to learn more about your Outsourcing Journey
- First, what types of tasks did you start outsourcing years ago
- Have you always been confident in the investment required upfront to pay a V.A?
- What would you say to someone who is hesitant to outsource?
- You actually have data that prove that outsourcing saves you 100’s and 100’s of hours per year - would your business be where it is today without outsourcing?
- You had your VA take an SEO course (you paid her $7 / hour to take it), it sounds like you have an amazing VA! Where did you connect with them?
Something that you’re a true master of is Showing up Authentically...
- You share stories of yourself dancing, shuffling, walking your dog - and sometimes you go deeper & talk about your struggles with binge eating or feeling unmotivated… Why do you pull the curtains back on your life so authentically?
- You mentioned in a podcast that you had mastered “being you” in your wedding photography business, but when it came to your role as an educator you felt like you were still looking to others in the industry to show you how to act or perform
- In what ways did you catch yourself not being authentic?
- It takes self awareness to catch yourself being someone you’re not and to address it. Do you have any tips or practices that allow you to reconnect with yourself?
- One thing I admire about you is that you won’t use Skin Smoothing Filters… is this in an effort to be authentic, too?
Growth & The Future
- How much of your success do you attribute to showing up consistently & authentically, and how much do you attribute to being an expert of your craft
- What drives you each day? You are someone who is very self-motivated, being able to work from home & push the boundaries of success each year
- I know you’re constantly investing in yourself & in your business, so I am curious - what’s one thing you have invested in over the past 6 months that’s been worth every penny
- Where do you want to take this? Where do you want to go?
This week we have a recharged episode for you because we’re in the process of recording season 7
So for this week, we have recharged an episode from Season 5.
In this episode I sit down with Marc LaFleur who is the co-founder of TruLocal, a subscription service that delivers high quality frozen meats to your doorstep.
I decided to recharge this episode because just a few weeks ago, truLOCAL was acquired by a company called EMERGE for over 16 million dollars. What a milestone!
Here’s a comment from Newswire, made by the Founder and CEO of EMERGE.
"In truLOCAL, we have acquired a profitable market leader in the lucrative food tech space that happens to be one of the fastest growing companies in Canada," (Source)
Rest assured, the founding team as well as Marc seem to be staying in place so not much will shift from an outsider's perspective.
Dave and I have a truLOCAL box shipped to our home each 6 weeks, for the past 3 years, and we’ve been blown away by the quality and customer service since day one.
Congrats Marc and congrats truLOCAL team, you deserve all the success.
Let’s get into my chat, recorded back in April of 2020, with Marc LaFleur.

THIS EPISODE ORIGINALLY AIRED BACK IN EARLY 2020.
Coffee is one of my greatest daily pleasures. Tell me I am not alone…
Whether it’s catching up with a friend over coffee, sipping on an espresso pre-workout to boost my energy, or cracking a cold brew as I get into flow state when there’s serious creative work to be done… a cup of GOOD java is a staple in my life, and likely most of yours.
That’s why I am so excited to share today’s conversation with Mitchell Stern (Co Founder & VP of Marketing and Sales) for Station Cold Brew Coffee.
Station was born to broaden the possibilities of your daily coffee ritual without having to compromise your health. Their Vanilla Cold Brew is seriously next level as a mid-morning pick me up. Trust me.
LISTEN TO THIS WEEKS EPISODE WITH STATION COLD BREW CO-FOUNDER, MITCH STERN.

When Tara’s first born child came along, she didn’t want her output to change. She's a go-getter and didn't want to sacrifice her driven spirit.
But something had to give.
As if overnight, she had to learn to balance her career, her fitness, the nutrition of herself and her family, and she needed to learn a whole new method of time management and goal setting. And things have only gotten busier since her kids have grown.
Through the years, Tara has found comfort in the fact that you CAN be a working mom who is dedicated to your career and devoted to your family, while still living a healthy, and inspired life.
And while perfect isn’t possible, Tara is an example to so many women and entrepreneurs who are ALSO wearing many hats in their life.

Raie your hand if you’ve been down a YouTube rabbit role in the past week, or month… or day?
You know, that vortex of when you open up a YouTube video to learn how to remove a tick from your dog or to see what nancy eats in a day-- and then all of the sudden you’re watching celebrity mansion tours or how to make DIY tie dye sweaters.
Ya… We’ve all been there. And i would be remiss if i didn’t tell you how much I LOVE youtube. It’s got so much great content to binge on and I’m always learning or being entertained by youtubers when I open the platform.
That’s why I’m so thrilled to bring you this episode with Jennifer Zhang.
She's a young 20-something year old who started a DIY YouTube channel when she was 15 and grew it big enough that she was able to convince her parents to let her create content full time rather than pursue a quote unquote “real job”.
With more than 2.5 million subscribers, a recently launched merch line that’s flying off the shelves, and now with her debut into the music industry-- Jen is a true visionary of her digital era.
One glimpse at her channel and you’ll know why she’s reaching the masses. She’s creative, crafty and totally hilarious.
Today, you’re going to hear from Jen on how she took something she simply loved doing when she was little and has turned it into a full time job. Proof that whatever you want to create IS possible in this lifetime.
Let’s jump in to this episode with Jennifer, from JENerationDIY
In this episode, we chat about...
- How long it took to grow to 100 subscribers & 1 million subscribers!
- Jens TOP YouTube Secrets
- The videos that kicked off her channel & helped her grow to where she is today
- Why authenticity and being REAL is key
- Self teaching vs. formal education-- which is better if you want to become a YouTuber?
- What her team looks like today (she's got help!)

Samantha has been working with clients to support their health for over 15 years, and has created numerous online training programs, ebooks, and coaching offerings. At present, she’s worked with women in more than 30 countries.

Well this was a super fun episode!
Have you guys been down the YouTube rabbit hole lately and stumbled upon one of those 73 questions videos?
No? Just me?
Okay well I loved watching them. This type of “get to know you” is something I often want to do in real life when I meet people so I can accelerate my friendship with them, but that might come across super weird.
I don’t know that everyone is down with my creepy level of curiosity haha.
This week on the show, I’m sitting on the other side of the mic and my friend Stephanie Long who is also a business coach is putting me in the hot seat and I'll be answering each question, so that you can all get to know me a bit better.
It does feel strange to release an episode like this (the little voice in my head keeps saying “nobody cares” but then I remind myself that if I love watching other peoples, then someone will enjoy listening to mine).
Perhaps you’ll realize we have lots in common, and if so - please reach out and let me know which of the 73 questions we had similar responses to. I’d love to hear from you over on Instagram @kelseyreidl
Big love going to Steph for agreeing to this crazy idea of mine. If you go check out her podcast “Next Level Nutrition Biz” you’ll be able to find her episode of 73 questions at some point in the future, as well.
Let the questioning begin!

TODAY ON THE PODCAST I’M SITTING DOWN WITH FIORELLA CUNHA, THE COFOUNDER OF STORIA WHICH IS A VIDEO STRATEGY & PRODUCTION COMPANY BASED IN TORONTO, CANADA. Fiorella and her team at Storia help businesses create strategic video content to tell their story, engage their audience and grow their business.
After one look at their website or Instagram, you’ll understand how seriously they take their work. The videos and storytelling that they do for their clients are top quality and I am so excited to sit down with Fiorella and pull the curtains back to learn how they started their business and how it’s evolved over the years.
After many years of running a photography studio (before video marketing became popular) Fiorella and her husband Frank honoured their passion for film and storytelling, which led them to stop pursuing photography clients and focus all their efforts back to video production.
Today their energy is focused around leveraging the power of video, something we ALL need to be paying more attention to as business owners.
IN THIS EPISODE, FIORELLA AND I CHAT ABOUT… * the early days of starting their photography studio and how scary it was to commit to their first commercial lease in a shopping mall * how they were able to generate line ups of people who waited hours for photo sessions with them * why they pivoted into video production, from many successful years in photography * the reasons that they feel video is so vital for businesses to add to their promotional strategy * & much more!

Earlier this year, I had the chance to attend the launch of an incredible foundation called Impact Zero, created by my friend Erin Andrews.
At this event, I met 2 incredible individuals named Tanis and Mara who are the founders of an eco-friendly, package-free refillery in midtown Toronto called The Green Jar.
More than just a shop though, Tanis and Mara are educators & community members who are on a mission to ensure that zero waste is accessible and less intimidating.
Tannis and Mara spent their formative years on a 50 acre horse farm in the 1970’s and would spend their summers with their grandmother in the Swiss Alps, where low waste, package-free shopping was the norm.
Tannis and Mara have memories of daily trips into town with their Grandmother to visit the baker, butcher and fromager, allowing one to catch-up with the proprietors and neighbours about the daily events.
The sisters wanted to recreate a sense of community and similar feel in their space, but awaited the right time to open their own shop.
As young adults, Tannis and Mara were frustrated with the amount of plastic waste they saw in their city. Their efforts to maintain their sustainable lifestyle by buying package-free products in bulk had them travelling all over the city, requiring lots of planning. There had to be a better way!
The Green Jar was created in order to support a circular economy by assisting their community in reducing (and one day eliminating) household waste and single-use plastics, as well as embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle. This is an inspiring and informative conversion.
We talk about their experience opening a shop just a mere few months before COVID, how they pivoted with the persistence of the global pandemic, some of the most valuable investments they made while planning out their store & who they hired, top items to switch to eco friendly, what sparked the idea to open the shop, how they built a community of customers, the most important things to have in place if you want to open a retail space, and more!
This was their first podcast so I hope to do them justice with this episode.
The best place to connect with them is on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thegreenjarshop/ OR visit the shop in Toronto at 1061 St Clair Ave W, Toronto, ON M6E 1A6

Let's talk about the foundation of your marketing strategy...
- Your visionary dream clients
- Unique Brilliance
- The “method”
- Make it friction-less
In this episode, we're discussing the 4 key pillars to put in place so that you can create a rockstar Marketing Strategy!
First we will talk about your visionary dream clients… we dive into:
- Good marketing speaks to someone, not everyone - it’s OK to be polarizing and specific
- Mastering your marketing means knowing your VDC better than they know themselves
- Define them: geographic location, what they struggle with, what their “dream come true outcome” is
How many dream clients are you working with?
Next we will talk about identifying your Unique Brilliance…
- When you line up against 3 of your competitors, what sets you apart? Why should people choose YOU?
- These need to be qualities that your VDC will value
- Ex: price, fun, accessibility, product benefits, location, referral only, we invest back in your business, results first
Did you create something this month that expresses your businesses Unique Brilliance? YES or NO.
Then, we'll chat about The Method…
- Why you must "Show" instead of "Tell".
- What is the process and what is the name (3 to 7 major steps)
- Ex: Discovery Call, Social Media Audit, Social Strategy Presentation 1, Revision 1, Implementation, Monthly Review.
How many people learned about or interacted with your "method"?
Finally, we will cover Making it “friction-less” for your VDC's to buy from you!
- What are you claiming to be delivering on?
- Does your VDC really care about this claim?
- How can they try you on for size before buying?
How many people did you offer your services to, in a "friction-less" way?
That's it!

Healthy Crunch is on a mission to innovate everyday foods by making them healthier and better tasting & today I get to sit down face to face with their founder aka (Chief Crunching Officer) Julie Bednarski.
Julie Bednarski is a dynamic and energetic entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in the food and nutrition industry. Her entrepreneurial spirit was fostered at a young age, and when she realized there were few healthy options to fuel her love for snacking, she set out to solve the problem. In 2014 she used her expertise as a chef and Registered Dietician to create Healthy Crunch.
Healthy Crunch is a staple item in our kitchen & it should be a staple in yours, too. Here's how I am currently loving their products...
- I spread their chia jam on toast with tahini or peanut butter,
- I snack on their SchoolApproved granola bars - contain 1 billion GanedenBC30 probiotics per bar. This is also the first granola bar in Canada to have only 2 grams of sugar per bar,
- I satisfy my sweet tooth with their Chocolaty Seed Butter Spreads...
& the best part… their products are better-for-you, with less sugar, more fibre, they’re better tasting, many are Keto Certified, vegan, paleo, and allergen-free. Visionary approved!
What began with recipe development in Bednarski’s kitchen, has now emerged as a top competitor in the market.

WE HAVE AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT.
I brought my trusty co-host back onto the podcast to share some fun news. No, we’re not pregnant! (felt like I needed to clear the air there, lol).
In this episode we share…
- The big news we’ve been waiting over a month to share with the visionary community
- Why COVID was the catalyst that made us start seeking a home outside of Toronto
- Why it’s so important to tune inwards and to honour your own timeline, rather than comparing your life milestones to someone else's
- How we decided on a city to plant roots in…. It may come as a bit of a surprise where we chose
- Bringing my “Visionary” Home Pinterest board to life :)
p.s. At the end of the episode, I’m sharing 3 exciting opportunities to work with me and spend the day together strategizing your business! Since we will be leaving Toronto and I will be moving out of Visionary HQ I wanted to open up 3 dates for Day Long Strategy Sessions if you’re a business owner who…
- Ready to start making money, but missing a few key pieces of your plan?
- Do you feel like you’ve hit a wall when it comes to growing your business, generating new leads or building momentum?
- Do you want your next launch to be your BIGGEST launch?

Tanya has had a crush on flowers for years now. It’s an obsession really!Flowers have always been part of her life and she’s been designing professionally since 2001. Her Muskoka-based design studio shows the love she has for every bloom. Her style is very natural and organic, perfect for weddings here in Muskoka and beyond. Tanya opts for locally sourced flowers whenever possible, some are even picked from her own gardens to create beautiful arrangements on event days.
TANYA’S EXPERIENCE SPANS FROM 2006-2013 CO-OWNING THE #1 RATED FLORAL BOUTIQUE IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO. After the birth of the most amazing little girl, her life led her in a new direction. In 2013 Tanya, her hubby Ry and little lady Reid moved back to her much missed and loved hometown of Muskoka. Here she has created a floral and design studio where her focus remains on each client- giving them a personal and creative touch in every single detail. Before we get into the episode, I wanted to read a review of Tanya that I found online, to give you insight into how much her clients adore her work….
It reads…
Tanya made my wedding day an absolute dream. She's truly one of the most talented florists.If you're getting married in Muskoka and amazing, over-the-top florals are your jam, then you NEED to go with Tanya List. From the moment I first e-mailed her about my wedding, she was professional and could easily envision the style I wanted for my wedding. It was easy to communicate and plan with her from day one. She even went above and beyond the things we had originally planned on my day when she added palms and pink pampas grass to a ceiling-suspended canoe at my rustic up north wedding venue. Thank you SO SO much Tanya! You are a super star!
This above & beyond approach that Tanya delivers is exactly why I knew we needed to feature her on the show - so let’s jump in to this weeks conversation!

Valérie Mérut) is sitting down with me for a fun conversation around how she's gone from Zero to Social Media Consultant in a matter of just a few months.
When I met Valerie, she had just been just been made redundant from her job (as a result of COVID) and this was just 1 week before having her wedding and honeymoon cancelled. Talk about a crazy month.
Since then, she joined The Visionary Method & has made great strides towards success & I want to chat with her in front of you all, so you can see how she's turned a negative into a positive career change!From the other side of the world-- I have watched her build and grow this business in such a powerful and persistent way. I can't wait for this one.

When you think gluten-free, do you think flavour free? Texture free? Taste free? I know I once did, until I started finding gluten-free options to my typical pastas & pastries that actually tasted BETTER than anything I could find at a conventional grocery store.
Yepp, it’s possible.
In today’s episode I am sitting down with Stephanie Dunn, the co-owner of Muskoka’s first dedicated Gluten Free Facility and Sit-Down Restaurant, The Pasta Shoppe.
The Pasta Shoppe by Beat the Wheat is the brainchild of owner’s Stephanie & her husband Adam.
Their shop features an incredible array of products ranging from fresh gluten free pastas, gluten free entrees, gluten free Breads & pastries.
As I mentioned earlier, The Pasta Shoppe by Beat the Wheat is the only restaurant in Muskoka that is 100% gluten-free and peanut-free - and though some critics may have worried that there wasn’t a large enough market for these types of products in canada’s cottage country, Steph and Adam have proved that that is just simply not true.
Especially when your gluten-free offerings are equally (or even more tasty) than the non-gluten-free counterparts.
Steph is soft spoken yet powerful with her words, and although her husband & co-founder Adam was unable to join - I know you’re going to love hearing how the idea for a gluten-free shop came to be, why they settled on Bracebridge as a location, how they maintain a strong rapport with their community and their customers, why no market is TOO small or too defined, how to get scrappy with your marketing, and so much more.
p.s. I mentioned that this is the FINAL episode of the Bracebridge Series, but in fact there is 1 more next week!

Are you a small business looking to double your clients, revenue, and reach in the coming 3 months?
I’ve got something special for you.
On Sept 14th, our brand new Marketing Intensive begins, and you have just 7 more days to take advantage of Early Bird Pricing.
Not familiar with what I’m talking about?
Here’s the deal..… I'll be your coach while we work through The Marketing Mastery Intensive™ together. This is a signature program from The Visionary Method for small business owners who are making at least 50k in revenue each year.
I created this framework because these marketing principles are timeless, wealth-producing and little known - often ignored by modern marketing gurus. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need fancy Facebook Ads or Click Funnels to run a wildly successful business. But you DO need to know these 7 principles.
For 3 months we’ll work together and I will drip you mind-blowing content & applicable homework challenges, alongside the time-honoured processes that you can incorporate into your business strategy immediately.
https://kelseyreidl.lpages.co/marketing/
Today I'm breaking down 7 must-know principles for businesses looking to re-ignite their marketing strategy using innovative & time-honoured techniques.
In this episode you will...
- Find out which area of your business 25% of your time (or more) must be devoted to for continual growth
- Understand how to become a walking-talking-lead-magnet through The Art of Fascination™
- Learn how to make a strategic choice that compels your customers to share your products & services even when you're not around! & MORE
I'll also walk you through the 7 principles with an associated challenge for each.
The Relationships Recipe™
No matter what your product or service is, I can tell you with confidence that you are in the business of building relationships. Plain and simple, this should be your #1 priority every single day. At least 25% of your time should be spent connecting with past clients, nurturing current customers & warm leads, and showing up in new places where you'll be able to meet new people and introduce them to your brand. After this module you'll have a detailed recipe that you can follow with ease in order to become a Relationship-Building Master!
The Art of Fascination™
Are people drawn to your work? Do they express interest in the vision that you're chasing? Is there a certain energy that follows you around everywhere you go, making it easy for you to open up about your business and gather new leads 24/7?
Being "fascinating" isn't easy, but it's possible for all of us. You don't need to be interesting to be fascinating, you just need to be present, inquisitive & charismatic. In this module you're going to learn how to become a magnet for your business, using the Art of Fascination.
The Shareability Scorecard™
Have you made any strategic operational choices that make your business shareable or talkable? Do you clients talk about you, even when you're not around?
As one of my gurus Jay Bear once said, "the easiest way to grow your business is to have your customers do it for you". In this module, I will teach you how to implement more talkable / shareable moments so that your customers share your products & services on your behalf, and become an army or brand evangelists!
The 10x Challenge™
Your business isn't average. Plain and simple. If it were average, you wouldn't be reading this.
In order to become a marketing superstar, we need to uncover the unique brilliance of your business and then double down on showcasing that to the world. This is your 10x factor!
In this module, we're going to go hard on your 10x factor and ensure that the whole word knows how different and unique your business is.
Nobody pays attention to mediocre, and everyone pays attention to 10x beter.
The Experiential Expo™
Experiential marketing is a strategy that captures the attention of your clients using immersive, engaging & branded experiences.
Rather than try to sell your products and services, you’re focused on delivering a remarkable experience, which will naturally lead towards a sale. If you ever encountered the Pepsi Taste Challenge in the early 2000's you know exactly what I am talking about.
We all have the ability to add an experiential element in order to allow our clients to "test drive" how awesome we are, so what are you waiting for?
The Productization Principle™
One of my marketing mentors Harry Beckwith once said "we trust what we can see and we’re suspicious of what we hear". Since most businesses have trouble showcasing exactly what type of service they truly provide, it's essential to work on "productizing" your service or making a tangible model to showcase what someone is actually buying.
In this module I am going to teach you how to easily showcase the transformation that clients receive when they work with you. We'll talk about Naming Your Brand, Creating a Visual Model of your Services & Creating a Scorecard to assess new clients.
The Self-Expressed Marketer™
Your business grows as your self-expression is unleashed.
Crazy as that may sound, you'll find that as you tap into the quirky qualities and crazy life experiences that only you posses, you'll be able to amplify your existing marketing efforts with the most unique twists that others can't ignore. You'll also become a shining example of what is possible in terms of growing a business in a manner that feels good.
Despite what Marketing Guru #43 says or Facebook Ads Specialist #597 tells you - this is NO 1 right formula for your to grow your business. Nobody can give you the exact blueprint!
In this module, you'll learn how to dust off the real-you so that you can share 110% of it with your community.

Is marketing coaching the answer you've been searching for?
At one point, I was exactly where you are today...
The foundation of the business was built, but I was wondering what information I was lacking in order to scale up without fancy Facebook Ads or complicated Email Automations.
- I know what it's like to watch other businesses thrive with their Marketing Strategy, while you sit back and wonder where they learned all of their secrets
- I know what it's like to need help, support and guidance from a coach or mentor - yet you're not sure who to turn to (hint: I can be that person!)
- I know what it's like to lack strategy & predictability in the "marketing department" (AKA you!)
I also know what it's like to have a burning desire to do whatever it takes to make sure you grow this business to its full potential. It is 100% possible.
In order to surpass your current level, you need coaching!
Apply today to see if you're a candidate for The Marketing Mastery Intensive™ and Kelsey will be in touch within 24 hours!

Nielsen’s is a full service bike shop that was originally started by Matt’s Father, but in 2012 the shop closed indefinitely when his father Kurt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Matt and Charlotte lived on the West Coast of Canada at the time, so they were not thinking about taking it over.
Fast forward a few years, Charlotte was driving by the original locations of Nielsen’s Bicycles & she saw a “For Lease” sign hanging. She called Matt, immediately!
The rest was history…
Even though the 2 of them felt ill-prepared to dive into entrepreneurship, they decided to take the leap!
These 2 are extremely humble, down-to-earth and speak truthfully about what it’s been like to re-launch the shop.
I know that so many of you will resonate with their realistic approach to managing a business and embracing the role of lifelong learners.
In this episode, we dive into... * What Matt & Charlotte were up to before deciding to move home to Matt’s hometown and relaunch his Dads bike shop * The moment they decided to re-launch the bike shop that Matt’s dad had shut down years prior * Some of the challenges that they’ve faced in reopening the shop and managing a bricks & mortar * Some of the exciting milestones they have reached in their first years of business * What it’s like Working as a couple & how they’ve found their flow

Content marketing is vital to the success of your business, but as you probably know… it can be a full time job! Your daily to do list includes managing your pinterest, emailing list, podcast, blogging, creating content for your YouTube channel, posting to Twitter, etc.
If you’re not careful, content marketing can take up to 80% of your time.
But it doesn’t have to be this way! You have so many other hats to wear as a business owner.
In today’s episode, I’m going to tell you how to re-purpose 1 piece of content into 20 other pieces - it’s a total game changer!

LET’S GET TO KNOW TODAY’S GUEST, KRYSTAL DARLING!
She is a Mama, a kick-ass entrepreneur of not 1 but 2 businesses, and she’s a lover of all things fashion - like seriously, her style is amazing and I wish I had her wardrobe.
I first connected with Krystal while searching for my dream wedding dress - a quest that took me all the way to Bracebridge Ontario, since I knew her shop had the exact dress that I was searching for. It was so serendipitous & it just so happened, Dave and I had chosen a wedding venue just a few minutes away from the shop, as well.
My experience working with Krystal was nothing short of amazing. She made the whole experience super comfortable and enjoyable - especially for someone like me, who barely ever gets out of her lululemons and tank tops.
With an eye for unique and beautiful pieces - owning two boutique businesses is not just Krystal’s job, it's her passion.
She also owns a shop called Belle's Boutique, which is a carefully curated clothing shop that offers an array of exclusive fashion brands for women.
Also, might I point out that Krystal and I recorded this just days before she gave birth to her 2nd baby boy, Watson. Congrats, Krystal!
In this episode, we chat about…
- How she’s been able to build something so much greater than just a retail store
- The challenges she faced in starting a clothing business in a small & seasonal town
- Why she decided to launch her second business, Darling Bridal Boutique in addition to owning & running Belle’s Boutique
- Importance of partnerships, collaboration & getting involved in your community
- & so much more

LET’S GET TO KNOW TODAY’S GUESTS, JED CORBEIL & CURT DUNLOP. To kick off season 6 and our 6 episode partnership with the town of Bracebridge Ontario, I'm sitting down with Curt Dunlop & Jed Corbeil - childhood friends turned multi-passionate business partners who are the power duo behind Muskoka Naturals Foods, The Griffin Pub, and many other exciting business ventures, together.
If you also identify as a multi-passionate, have ever considered going into business with your Best Friend, or if love stories about taking leaps & riding the waves of entrepreneurship - this episode is for you.
IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE CHAT ABOUT… * Why Jed & Curt decided to start a restaurant, especially given that they have NO previous experience in the industry
- What their challenges & major milestones have been since getting into business, together
- How they found their niche among many other dining options in their town

- What new projects they have coming down the pipeline (they are always scheming up the next venture!)
- & SO MUCH MORE
I’ve been looking forward to sharing this interview with you for quite some time. It’s a fun conversation. Jed & Curt are not only super fun & playful, but they’re also very savvy in the entrepreneurial space and above all, I'd consider them visionaries of their town. - making it better with each idea they bring to life.
Oh and one last thing, I can’t wait for you to hear the story that Curt tells towards the end of the show about how they ended up at a public cooking demo, in cowboy attire, strumming their guitars & handing out beer samples - unexpectedly - in order to salvage an event they were part of.

Hi friends,
It’s me, Kelsey. Your host of the Visionary Life Podcast.
I’m just popping in to let you know that Season 5 has come to a close!
At the time of this recording, it is the final day of June and this is the perfect time to take a few weeks off.
Not only will I be enjoying the beautiful weather that Ontario is currently being presented with -- but I will also be spending time recording Season 6.
Yeah, you heard that right! We are kicking off Season 6!
Season 5 was a long one… going all the way back to January.
We chatted with...
- Functional Medicine Doctors
- Marketing Experts
- New business owners
- Subscription box founders
- Social media mavens
- Digital marketing agency owners
- Franchise kings
- & SO MUCH MORE
I urge you to scroll through Season 5 and see if there’s any episode that you may have missed or want to re-listen to!
To queue up what’s on deck for season 6, i can tell you this…
We have some of my DREAM guests coming on the show.
In addition to word-of-mouth marketing strategy experts & high level athletes -- I’m also sitting down with a variety of small town shop owners to hear about what it’s like owning a brick & mortar & how they’ve found success withing a small population.
I can’t wait to share these interviews with you.
If you have an urge to STOP living your life according to meaningless expectations, archaic milestones & to please other people -- you’re in the right place. Season 6 will be packed with guests who will help you to unleash your inner potential & explore your opportunity to start or scale up a business.
When they share their stories, we often find motivation to do similar in our own lives.

Lauren Shirreffs is the founder and CEO of 2Social, a women-led North American digital agency that delivers full service, community-minded marketing solutions to a growing roster of start-up and established brands.
With an academic background in Fashion Marketing and Creative Writing, Lauren took her official dive into the world of social media in 2013 when she founded 2Social from the kitchen table of her King West, Toronto loft.
Fast forward to today, Lauren and her team of brand nurturers, digital storytellers and passionate problem solvers have worked with over 200 brands and have offices in Toronto, Ontario and Los Angeles, California.
The company supports all elements of online and offline marketing projects – from design, social media strategy and analytics to PR and event marketing.
As a former personal trainer, Lauren loves all things wellness and is fuelled by an insatiable drive for success (And coffee. So much coffee).
In this episode, we discussed:
- Why she decided to go back to school in her mid 20’s.. And why you shouldn’t be afraid to do the same
- How she started 2social, her digital agency, from her kitchen table in toronto - it doesn’t always begin in the most glamorous way
- This part is a must listen- Lauren shares how she landed 33 clients in her first year of business, that’s INSANE
- She shares what’s working on social media right now & some tips on how to keep up with the ever changing industry
- & much more!

Today on the show, I’m chatting with my friend Stephanie Long, who is a Business Coach for Nutritionists! She helps nutritionists to build their programs, reach more clients & successfully launch their business!
When Steph and I first connected via Instagram about 1.5 years ago, we were instantly intrigued by the very similar life paths that we had both followed. I guess you could say we were kindred spirits.
Through getting to know one another-- we discovered that we were both students at the same Campus of The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition just a mere 6 months apart-- and both of us actually went on to become teachers of the Business Course there.
Our similarities continued to surprise us -- some of them being that we both have coaching businesses which now focus on business coaching, whereas it was previously nutrition coaching… and we have both lived in the same neighbourhood in Toronto, without knowing each other.
I’m so grateful that Instagram connected us, and allowed us to become friends.
You may recognize Steph because I’ve actually been a guest on her podcast, The Next Level Nutrition Biz Podcast, before. It is SUCH an amazing resource for all nutritionists looking to level up their business skills, so be sure to listen to an episode.
Stephanie lives on Vancouver Island in Canada with her partner Craig and their two tabby kitties!
In this episode we’re diving into the topic of How to Get More Visible, so that you can grow your business. This is a topic that both Steph and I are very passionate about, because we know how hard it can feel to put yourself out there & gain visibility, especially in the early stages of launching.
I’m so thrilled that I am able to feature Steph’s story on the visionary life podcast. I know you’re going to love this episode, so let’s dive in.

I’ll start with something that I saw Netflix post about…
To be silent is to be complicit.
Black lives matter.
We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.
I’ve not been overly vocal, for fear of getting it wrong,⠀
But I also don’t want to stay silent.⠀
I’m sure many of you can echo that sentiment.
It’s not often that I think about my own privilege as a white woman, but then again my daily life protects me from the daily fears that others live with.⠀
To be here… to be comfortable… to be podcasting… that is a privilege.
To be here… to be comfortable… to have a platform… that is a privilege.
To be here, to be comfortable, to feel safe… that is a privilege.
But it shouldn’t just be a privilege that some can tap into.
It should be for all.
Equity in opportunity to create, to live and to express is deserved by all. I want to meet my vision of helping 7 billion people to live and lead their most visionary life, but we cannot do that without equality
I get in a car without the fear of being pulled over… I set out on a run without worrying about which route I will take…. But this is not everyone’s reality.⠀
And that’s not okay.⠀
One of the core values of my business Visionary Life is that Visionary Thinking Changes the World-- and this is a time when we need you, me and our communities to put on their thinking cap to see HOW we are going to shift this.
It’s taken too long to find justice.This is a lesson in so many ways.
What I know for sure is that Equality Is Deserved by All. Especially for BIPOC who have not had it.⠀
That will ONLY change when we each do the work. Individually. When we drop our ignorance. When we stand up for injustice.⠀When we listen to the voices of those who have not been heard.
I know that I need to step up.
I need to invest in learning from BIPOC and understanding how I can support the change.
I need to take a critical eye as to how I can transform myself and my business, and how I am contributing to the lack of equality that I say I am not okay with. I need to take ownership.⠀
I need to do my homework
And it’s unacceptable that it has taken the current state of affairs for me to make this priority.⠀
It’s inexcusable.⠀
Tune in to hear more.
Do you believe that there’s a correlation between our HEALTH and the success of our BUSINESS?
According to today’s guest, Dr. Navaz, there sure is. In fact, he’s lived it.
And I couldn’t agree more.
Dr. Navaz knows first hand that changing your state of health can drastically change your output as a business owner… When he found himself tipping the scales at 250 pounds, he knew he needed to make a change.
He transformed his health and his energy levels over the coming months using several of the strategies that we discuss in today’s episode… and in turn, Navaz also managed to accelerate the growth of this business-- seeing a 100% increase in revenue in just 1 year.
Dr. Navaz practices as a Functional Medicine Practitioner - working with a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives and professional athletes to optimize their health, vitality and performance.
He’s also the author of a book called Activate Your Vagus Nerve, which shares information on how to Improve the function of the most important nerve for your health. You’ve probably never even heard of it right?
I would highly suggest digging into his book or his resources, because it’s super fascinating stuff!
As many of you know, I used to practice as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, so the topic of Health is near and dear to my heart.
I could talk forever about the correlations between HOW I TAKE CARE OF MYSELF and the growth of my business, but I wanted to bring on a true expert in the field.
Let’s welcome Dr. Navaz to the show so that he can share The Top 10 Health Upgrades for Entrepreneurs or anyone looking to make a positive change in their life, health or business.

4 years ago, I pulled the trigger & left my FT job in pursuit of my own business!
It wasn't easy,
But it was TOTALLY worth it.
Before I had the tough conversation with my boss, I made sure to put a strategic plan in place so that I would be supported and confident as I made this massive shift in my life.
I made sure to...
- Review my current expenses
- Assess where I could make cuts to my monthly budget
- Plant seeds for new freelance clients
- Utilize my skills & strengths to land new part time gigs...
But most of all, I had to believe in myself. I had to trust that it WAS possible.
If you've been considering a similar pivot, you'll love this episode.

TODAY’S VISIONARY GUEST IS CHRIS GUILLEMET. CHRIS CO-FOUNDED VELOFIX, YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP… ON WHEELS!
I'm willing to bet that you’ve seen their trucks driving around your neighbourhood to service your community members, or fixing bikes at a local race weekend.
Velofix has been my go-to bike shop for more than 5 years. As a cyclist & busy entrepreneur, I am on my bike constantly… but maintenance is not my strong suit. I routinely call my local Velofix Truck, Steve is my guy, and he comes over to give all 3 of my bikes a tune up. It’s seamless. It’s convenient. And it’s such a fun experience to talk to & learn from your mechanic while they work on your bike outside of your home.
Chris is SO generous with his knowledge about starting and scaling a business inside this episode, and it was a true pleasure to hear the story behind the brand.
He is a true visionary.
IT’S PRETTY NEAT TO IMAGINE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN 3 GUYS, CHATTING OVER BEERS, IN A GARAGE.. TURNED INTO WHAT VELOFIX IS TODAY WHICH IS A FLEET OF OVER 100 FRANCHISES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA!
Velofix was launched in 2013 by Chris Guillemet, Boris Martin, and Davide Xausa, who all share a passion for cycling and the common belief that bicycles can help change the world.
The brand’s core mission is to get more people on bikes and solve problems standing in the way of this goal.
Today, velofix is the largest fleet of Mobile Bike Shops in North America with plans to double in size over the next 18 months.
LEARN MORE ABOUT VELOFIX & ABOUT CHRIS https://www.velofix.com/
https://instagram.com/velofix
IN THIS EPISODE WE CHAT ABOUT… * Why you need to be able to explain your business in ONE sentence * How to properly pursue a business idea * How the founding trio drove their dreams forward, as a group * The purpose of launching fast, and changing later * Using customer feedback to pivot and make changes as you go * How to scale the business idea * Some of the early milestones that velofix celebrated * Why they wanted to be DIFFERENT and not BETTER * & SO MUCH MORE!

What a crazy past couple of months it has been.
After reflecting on my own experiences, I've realized that the highs & lows are not always things we can choose: we can simply embrace the change, move forward with joy and continue to focus on the life we are here to live (aka our most visionary life!)
This is what I have chosen amidst the chaos.
Has it been easy? No!
But I’m choosing to show up as a leader, an encourager & a hugger (I don't even know if those are real words, and I don't care).
In this episode, I am sharing an update on what I've been up to over the past few months. My hopes are that you'll find comfort and inspiration in my process of navigating this unsettling time, or simply feel less alone.
In this episode I chat about...
- Why I've been doing daily YouTube and IGTV videos (& whether or not I enjoy it)
- The 1 thing I've been doing MORE of in my business that has helped me grow exponentially
- Reasons I've been able to stay positive (& how you can, too)
- Revenue update for March and April 2020
- Why I was scared to measure my performance over the past few months
- A fun announcement that ALL listeners of Visionary Life should hear
- & MORE

Coffee is one of my greatest daily pleasures. Tell me I am not alone…
Whether it’s catching up with a friend over coffee, sipping on an espresso pre-workout to boost my energy, or cracking a cold brew as I get into flow state when there’s serious creative work to be done… a cup of GOOD java is a staple in my life, and likely most of yours.
That’s why I am so excited to share today’s conversation with Mitchell Stern (Co Founder & VP of Marketing and Sales) for Station Cold Brew Coffee.
Station was born to broaden the possibilities of your daily coffee ritual without having to compromise your health. Their Vanilla Cold Brew is seriously next level as a mid-morning pick me up. Trust me.
Listen to this weeks episode with Station Cold Brew Co-Founder, Mitch Stern. My awareness of Station goes back almost 6 years to a moment when Dave and I were shopping at a small store in one of Toronto’s West End Neighborhoods.
Upon leaving the store, we were met with one of the most enthusiastic human beings and he was sampling something that neither Dave or I had tried before, and that was Station Cold Brew Coffee.
Fast forward many years, I’ve watched Station create the most incredible brand using innovative marketing strategies and time honoured approaches to growth, like paying close attention to each and every interaction they have with their community, and finding friends rather than followers.
My conversation with the co-founder, Mitch is honest, it’s thought provoking, and you’ll quickly notice that he’s not afraid to be REAL and share the true highs and lows over the almost 6 year journey building this start-up into a Cold Brew Coffee Kingdom.
In the following 45 minutes, we hit on the topics of...
- Breaking the stigma that “everything is awesome” when you’re an entrepreneur
- How Station grew from a 3 person team to a 12 person team in the past 6 years
- The entrepreneurial roller coaster ride (it’s real!)
- Resilience: as a necessary characteristic of any business owner
- Top marketing tips that have helped Station grow their brand reach & awareness
- The value of your network (hint… it’s EVERYTHING!)
- Knowing what you’re good at and then surrounding yourself with awesome people
- & MORE

As I write you this intro, I am listening to the most beautiful song called “Little Things” by today’s Visionary Guest, Alli Walker.
I’m in a complete love-fest with her music right now.
Alli is quickly garnering the attention of the country music industry with her unique style of music that she coins 'Mindful Music' and 'Conscious Country' which is authentic and vulnerable storytelling based on mental health subjects, empowering messages, life’s hard lessons, and the tough questions we ask ourselves.
Her songs are literally vibrating my soul during this unsettling, challenging, and eerie time of COVID-19. I’ve had my positive days, I’ve had my worried days, but each day… you can bet that music is playing a MASSIVE role in managing my mood.
That’s why I am so thrilled to share this episode that I recorded with Alli Walker. It should be noted that this WAS recorded pre-covid. Alli came to my office in Toronto and we recorded side by side, before the social distancing restrictions.
Alli may be a musical artist, but more than that, she’s an ENTREPRENEUR. She’s a beacon of light. She’s a hard worker with a vision that will inspire you through your headphones.
Alli Walker is a Prince Edward Island raised singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who moved to Toronto when she was 19 to ‘chase the dream’.
Now with hundreds of shows played and songs written, she is proud to have released her Top 10 iTunes charting debut album called ‘The Basement Sessions: What I’ve Learned So Far’ and she has been named Top Country’s ‘Top Female Artists of 2019’.

LET’S TALK SOCIAL FOR A MINUTE!
- Have you found that you’ve been spending wayyyy too much time online in the past few weeks?
- Are you scrolling Instagram 24/7 because now you have no boss to watch over you?
- Do you want to use your time online more effectively to connect, rather than to creep & consume?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, you’re going to love this episode!
Instagram may not be the answer to your problems during this Collective Global Experience, but it can play a massive role in keeping you connected, keeping you sane, and keeping you inspired… AND KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS FIRED UP & PROFITABLE.Since Instagram offers all of us a relatively barrier-free way to share our message to the masses, today is the day to rise up and take full advantage of the features & opportunities! That’s why I brought Instagram Coach Shannon Heth on the Visionary Life Podcast, today.
Shannon is an Instagram Marketing Coach who works with female coaches + creatives by helping them step into their 6 figure mindset + create a business strategy to get in front of their dream clients so they can double their income.
As you guys know, I’m a massive advocate of using IG to grow your Business!
I’d guess that more than 80% of my clients find me and get to know me through Insta. Cool, right?
If you’re not using it to its full potential, then this episode is for YOU!
We talk about…
-
- What are some of the first steps I should take, if I want to build my presence on Instagram
- How to develop a strategy that CONVERTS?
- The types of content you need to be posting to build an audience

Vanessa Ortali has been a serial entrepreneur all of her life. She has always lived for the deeper meaning of life and is adamant on making a genuine contribution to the world around her, even during times of crisis ;)
Over her career she has worked with and trained many fortune 500 companies, leaders and celebrities. She spends much of her time speaking, coaching and expanding her women's community internationally.
As a business school graduate, licensed coach, and expert in events, self development, community building, and connecting others, Vanessa founded The Ladies Community (aka TLC) in 2016. TLC has grown into an international company with more than 20,000+ members in just 3 years.
Vanessa's passion, love, optimism and vulnerability will inspire you to connect with your soul and create the life of your dreams while finding inner peace - especially during this time of crisis.
I connected with Vanessa when I became a partner of TLC for the 2020 calendar year, where I’m now supporting her incredible tribe to offer them Business Coaching and support in taking their ideas out of their head and turning them into businesses.
Vanessa and I recorded this episode on the 1st of April 2020, during the Collective Global Experience of COVID, and therefore the bulk of our conversation is about MANAGING YOUR MINDSET AND YOUR BUSINESS DURING THIS TIME.
If you need someone to lift you out of your rut, to help you flip your thought patterns, and to support you navigating the COVID experience - Vanessa is your girl.
She’s not contracting or playing small through this crisis, she is RISING… and it’s beautiful to see all of the work she’s done in the past come to play as she leads her community with strength.
We chat about:
- Who are you & what do you do?
- Tell us more about TLC.
- Describe what’s been going on with you and your business the past 2 weeks….
- How have you pivoted your services to meet the current demand?
- What’s been the greatest gift that these past couple weeks have given you?
- What’s a typical day in the life for you right now?
- Have you found any new routines that are working really well for you, right now?
- What do you think the impact of this crisis (COVID-19) will be for Online Business Owners?
- How can we use this time to our advantage right now, whether we have a business or not…
- If we have to isolate or sequester for 60 more days, what would be 1 skill you’d want to pick up?
- Tips for anyone feeling SUPER overwhelmed with how to carry on in business right now?
- Making the "next best decision"
- Her roots in running a lemonade stand
- Creating a revenue structure while doing something you love
You can find Vanessa online at http://www.vanessaortali.com/ AND https://www.facebook.com/groups/TLCTO/

Happy 100 Episodes to the Visionary Life Podcast - Let’s Celebrate!
THERE’S AN AMAZING GIVEAWAY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, IN CELEBRATION OF OUR 100TH EPISODE. See below.
- Win a $100.00 gift card to Healthy Planet Health Food Store (can shop online or in person)
- Win a discount code to The June Motel in Prince Edward County (valued at $50.00)
- Simply head over to my instagram @kelseyreidl to enter
In this episode, I begin by sharing how we’re in another situation of “dichotomies” right now...
LIFE IS A MIXED-BAG OF HAPPY & SAD, WINS & LOSSES FOR ALL OF US
- There are days when you attend a funeral in the morning, and then laugh your head off with friends at night
- There are days when you hit the gym and then binge on pizza at night
- There are days when you work SO hard on your business, and days when you wish you could go back to a "normal" job
- There are days when you wake up in a funk, and then end the day feeling like you've conquered the world
- There are days when you think of lost friends & relatives, and days when you celebrate new life and birth
& then, there are days when you feel panic & fear (hello COVID-19), yet also celebrate a major business milestone (yay 100 episodes!).
I didn’t think that I would be writing a message like this - acknowledging COVID-19 - but after joining a call with 15 of my "colleagues" (aka My Weekly Mastermind), I feel passionate about supporting the conversation during this interesting and challenging time.
I’d love to hear from you...
1) How is COVID-19 affecting your life & business, right now? When you write it out, you can get an objective view of what's really suffering & what's just NOT WORKING with no relation to COVID-19
2) Ask yourself - Am I willing to continue planting seeds? Can I adapt under pressure? Am I good at problem-solving in times of change? (or do I simply complain?)
3) Ask yourself - Am I going to be a leader or a follower in times of crises?
4) Ask yourself - Will this crisis force me to innovate my offer?
If you've been fearful, experiencing extra anxiety, or have seen a decline in revenue - I see you and I hear you. We will rise through this, together.
Many of my peers rely on Speaking Gigs (cancelled) or Teaching Fitness Classes (cancelled) or Serving as a Flight Attendant (TBD), so I am feeling the ripple strongly in my direct circle of friends and family.
Of course, I feel it directly in my own life and business as well - as teaching workshops and hosting events is a vital part of my marketing strategy.
There is no easy solution to OVERCOME this temporary lock-down on our potential, but there is an opportunity to be problem-solvers, innovators, and solution providers in this time of crisis.
NOTHING GOOD COMES A 24/7 PANIC.
It's rare that innovation or world-changing solutions to problems are born from panic & fear, because when you PANIC and live in FEAR you are in Fight or Flight Mode. Parasympathetic State. That's not where good ideas come from.
So, although we cannot predict the severity of COVID-19, we can predict the pattern. There will likely be an UPSWING after this DOWNTURN.
Instead of contracting during this time, can you continue to think about how you can serve?
Can you plant your seeds, adapt, problem-solve & create a new way to foster connection + a new way to support your business, as our needs change as consumers?
As VISIONARIES - we have to be solutions minded:
More virtual events, alternatives for building community, ways for people to learn and grow during times of quarantine...etc.
We also need to use this time wisely:
- Slow down, rest, reflect
- Take care of yourself at the HIGHEST level
- Support your neighbours who might be in need
- Don’t drink booze (I recap briefly my 1 month no alcohol experiment)
Here are 3 podcast episodes that I suggest you listen to:
- Hol:Fit Talks with Ange Peters HERE
- BETTER! With Dr. Stephanie.
- John Maxwell Leadership Podcast
Last thought - Who you are during a time like this, defines how you build your business & how you respond to anything in life.
SHIFTING GEARS….
I cannot believe it.
We have officially hit 100 episodes of the Visionary Life Podcast.
I’m choosing to pause and celebrate this milestone, because oftentimes.. as business owners - we have this syndrome called “CDTNG: Chase Down That Next Goal” (yes, this is an official medical diagnosis)
The symptoms include:
- Accomplishing one's goals & looking to one’s next goal on the “list”
- Never celebrating oneself or one's business accomplishments
- Forgetting to enjoy one’s big milestones
I have to admit, this was a lesson my first business coach taught me, so I’ve always made a point to celebrate.
I remember when I launched The VISIONARY METHOD I was feeling so good about enrolling my first few students, as the cart was closing. I had worked diligently for months and months to bring this course to life! She asked me in our final call “so how will you celebrate when your launch is over?” and I looked at her like she was CRAZY.
Celebrate?
About what?
You mean buy a cake or something?
In that moment, it hit me… if you don’t stop to celebrate your little milestones along the way, nobody else will! The culture of your business needs to be nurtured whether you are a 1 person team or a 100 person team - and that includes celebrating joyful events & the achievement of goals.

Combating loneliness,
Why Picasso can charge infinite amounts for a painting,
Finding true happiness,
Sharing your message on stage,
Boldly asking for what you want,
Making big pivots when you’re scared,
THESE ARE THEMES OF MY CONVERSATION WITH DR. GILLIAN MANDICH.
Dr. Gillian Mandich has a PhD from Western University in Health Science, and her primary areas of research are happiness and health.
She is the founder of The International Happiness Institute of Health Science Research; co-lead investigator of The Canadian Happiness At Work Study; is a part of the Meant2Prevent research team at SickKids; appears regularly in the media on shows such as The Social, Marilyn Denis, Breakfast Television, The Morning Show, and CBC.
When I invited Dr. Gillian Mandich to come on the show, I envisioned chatting about How Entrepreneurs Can Cultivate MORE Happiness in their lives, but this conversation is that PLUS so much more.
I was first introduced to Gillian when I stumbled upon her podcast 7 or 8 years ago, The Holistic Health Diaries. I was a keen listener and have been following her journey on Instagram ever since… gotta love the power of social media.
Fast forward to 2020 and Gillian and I were able to sit down together and record this episode at my studio in Toronto, over coffee. This episode is a little bit lengthier so listen in 2 chunks if you must, but do not miss a beat.
Gillian shares her beautiful story of building out her personal brand, getting her phD, and the many paths that she’s walked to find her place in the world today as a happiness researcher.
In this episode we cover so much…
- How to pitch yourself to the media & land a spot on ted talk stage, even if you’ve never spoken publicly before!
- The time in her life when she was saying yes to too many things & feeling pulled in a million directions (& what she did about it)
- A Prescription for loneliness if you’re a solo entrepreneur or just lacking connection in your life
- The one thing that we could ALL benefit from scheduling into your day, that you’re probably not making ANY time for right now.
https://www.instagram.com/gillianmandich/
We're two months into 2020 & I thought that it was a good time to pause on the weekly interviews with Visionary Guests, so that I could give you all an update on how Life, Business & All Things Visionary are going!
Does that sounds good?
If you like hearing solo episodes, can you let me know?
I love recording them for you, but I know that interviews with talented guests are also very valuable. It's hard to know where I should focus more efforts.
Reach out to hello@kelseyreidl.com if you have any suggestions for future episodes.
On to this weeks episode I'm getting REAL on what's being going on.
We're chatting about...
- January & February in REVUE: we're talking TRAVEL, BUSINESS GROWTH, REVENUE, etc.
- Why I decided to give up a few things that were no longer serving me
- My Recent Launch of The VISIONARY METHOD (& how it went)
- Why I raised my Private Coaching Prices
- Why I'm loving The Flow Diaries from The Lively Show & how I am incorporating it into my own life
- The "No Booze" experiment that I'm doing right now & why I decided to try it out
- How I'm taking care of myself during this busy season
- The evolution of my Consulting Services (this was such a tricky pivot for me)
p.s. The last solo episode I did (2019 Year In Review) can be found here.

Life is good.
You’ve got a dream job as the Lead Makeup Artist on one of Canada’s Top Talk Shows…they love you and respect your work and the culture is awesome.
Yet, you’ve got this little yearning inside of you that keeps whispering… “life is short…. you’re meant to be doing something else”
This is the story of Natalie Matias.
Recognized as one of Toronto’s most sought-after beauty professionals, Natalie Matias' experience spans 17 years across multiple platforms.
Her incredible talent has earned her the position of Key MUA for numerous national lifestyle programs including The Social and ETalk’s Oscar Red Carpet Special.
Over the course of her extensive career, Matias has worked alongside a long list of celebrities (The Weeknd, Jason Derulo) thought leaders (Arianna Huffington, Liz Gilbert) and social influencers (Lauren Toyota).
For the past while, Natalie has been challenging the ever evolving concept of "beauty” and she’s been honing her craft as a wellness expert.
Natalie co-founded and has led an intimate local meditation group for women entrepreneurs and creatives, the Peace Warriors, since 2014.
It is a path that started in her youth with the loss of both parents to dis-ease and disconnects to a healthy work/life balance. These life-altering experiences are what have inspired Natalie to have a passion to spread mindfulness and meditation.
Her warm and inviting presence has allowed her to introduce meditation to work offices, while her one-on-one meditation coaching style allows clients to find achievement in areas that may have otherwise been considered unachievable.
The combination of Matias’ MUA talents and focus on the growth of inner beauty through meditation creates her unmatchable ability to offer a full range of creative offerings for any type of event hoping to communicate purpose and wellness.
You can find Natalie busy leading mindfulness-based workshops for Mindfulness Without Borders; to entrepreneurs, professionals and CEOs in workplaces such as We Work and Deloitte.
Natalie is known for her soothing voice and grounding presence that makes her a suitable fit for any environment. Natalie is filled with immense gratitude for every opportunity to share space and time in meditation.
I’ll definitely attest to her voice being soothing.
I’m obsessed with listening to her speak, which is why I’m having so much fun curating the content for this episode! I love listening to it over & over!
If Natalie’s name sounds familiar, it might be because she’s offered some beautiful opportunities for my VISIONARY community to get to know her.
On Valentines Day, she led my past and current clients through a guided meditation for entrepreneurs - and last week she and I did a collaborative Instagram Live so that you could get EXCITED for our episode!
IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:
- The phone call that made her leave her job & follow her true calling
- Balancing the need for security, while taking care of your health, your energy & your spirit
- Why she decided to leave her full time job as the lead makeup artist for The Social
- Overcoming fear when you quit a FT job
- The roller coaster ride that IS starting a business
- Why failure is wisdom
- Why it’s great to ask someone “what they’re most excited about right now”
- Her deeper WHY for starting her business
- & MORE!

Today on the Visionary Life Podcast I am sitting down with Lauralee Sheehan, the founder of Digital 55…. Which is a collective of award-winning designers, developers, researchers, and content strategists working together to create unique, innovative digital interactive products and learning experiences.
Lauralee is a design thinker, a digital addict, but above all an artist.
With years of experience working in the creative and digital product development sector, Lauralee is a trailblazer in the digital space, pushing forward how creative and tech intersect.
She has lead teams on various award-winning projects & her unique background,
Previously, Lauralee had her own product line and she owned an indie record label… proving to all of us once again that it’s NEVER too late to pivot & it’s always okay to change industries.
One thing that I noticed that Lauralee humbly did NOT have in her bio is that she is an Entrepreneur. And a savvy one, at that!
This company is KILLING IT and I love the story of how Digital 55 came to be, and grew into something so much greater than Lauralee.
If you’re a business owner wondering how to scale your business into more of a collective of sorts, you’ve going to love this episode.
We also chat about… some of the first things she did in setting up her business, why she considers herself a MAKER / LEADER, the exciting milestones Digital 55 has hit, her vision for growth, the creative & messy middle, how she stays organized with SO many moving parts to digital 55 & so much more.

Let me set the stage for you..
Imagine one night you’re hanging with 2 of your BFF’s, sharing a bottle of wine (or 2 or 3)… and all of the sudden in your drunken conversation, you get a genius idea!
You open up a fresh Google Doc… you write everything that the 3 of you are saying down… you feel like you’ve really hit the nail on the head with this idea!
HOW HAS NOBODY THOUGHT OF THIS YET? THIS WILL BE THE NEXT MILLION DOLLAR IDEA!
Then you head to bed.
Upon waking the next morning (with a slight hangover!) you wondering, “was it all a dream… was it really a good idea, like we thought?”
You’ll have to tune in to this weeks episode with co-founder of The GIST, Ellen Hyslop, to find out!
This is the birth story of The Gist!
As a Female-Focused Sports Media Company, The GIST connects and empowers women through sport.

Using unique remedies from the beehive (like royal jelly and propolis), the beekeeper-led team is committed to providing the cleanest, most powerful solutions to modern health issues—like brain fog, poor sleep, and scratchy throats.
Unlike competitors, they apply scientific rigor to their product development and commit to third-party pesticide testing to ensure they’re creating natural remedies that actually deliver.

By working exclusively with sustainable small-scale apiaries, partnering with leading bee research institutions, and prioritizing pesticide-free hive health above all else, Beekeeper’s Naturals works tirelessly to raise awareness and create a better environment for our world’s most important pollinators—the bees.
As a beekeeper and a tireless advocate for the preservation of the waning global bee population, Carly is dedicated to using her company as a platform to make a difference and raise awareness for the bee cause. Carly was recently recognized as a game-changing entrepreneur on the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
This interview with Carly is AMAZING.

Today, I am releasing an episode that I recorded back in November of 2018 with Cassie Day, founder of All Day Fit.
Cassie has an amazing brand message that she shares on her own platforms, and she also runs All Day Fit which empowers women to become stronger, in both mind and body. They offer training, group classes, nutrition, and SO MUCH MORE.
Many of you know & love Cassie for her vibrant personality and positive attitude, but in this episode she shares her business savviness with us & goes back through the journey of how she’s built her amazing company from the ground up.
This episode was well loved when it was first released just over 1 year ago, and I have a sneaky feeling it’s going to be a smashing hit once again because Cassie is an amazing human to learn from & listen to.
Enjoy this episode with Cassie Day.

As I navigate a jam-packed January, part of which includes travelling to Mexico & LA + recording Season 5 of the podcast for you (which kicks off February 2nd) I’ll be re-releasing some of our most popular, most downloaded episodes.
Since these episodes were aired in Season 1 & Season 2, I imagine that many of you never actually listened because perhaps you have only been a listener for the past year.
Today I am re-releasing an episode from April 2018.
Imagine stumbling upon an Old Fisherman’s Motel in a small county, deciding to purchase it with one of your best friends, and then embarking on a journey to renovate it so that it could become one of Canada’s hottest accommodations for Bachelorette Parties, Girls Weekends, Date Nights & Weekend Getaways.
That’s exactly what Sarah Sklash & April Brown did!
I interviewed this power duo behind the popular June Motel in Prince Edward County, and it was so inspiring to hear the story of how this crazy idea turned into their reality.
If you haven’t been to or seen what The June Motel looks like.. Stop this episode and go find them on Instagram. Seriously, I’ll wait!
The decor of this place is dreamy, and the rose you get upon arrival is just the icing on the cake.
I’ve stayed at the June Motel 3x now and I am already stoked to go back in 2020.
Speaking of 2020, the ladies behind The June recently announced their newest addition to the family which is a SECOND motel in Sauble Beach, Ontario! I am so excited about this.
Sarah & April completely redesigned the vintage motel and re-invented the experience of what staying at a Motel looks like. What a visionary endeavor, if I have ever seen one! You’ll love this episode.

Hi Guys,
Welcome Back!
As I navigate a jam-packed January, part of which includes travelling to Mexico & LA + recording Season 5 of the podcast for you (which kicks off February 2nd) I’ll be re-releasing some of our most popular, most downloaded episodes.
Since these episodes were aired in Season 1 & Season 2, I imagine that many of you never actually listened because perhaps you have only been a listener for the past year.
Today, I am releasing an episode that I recorded back in April 2018 with Ashley Meston & Phil Lebeau who are the founders of Basd Body Care.
Back in the day when I worked for one of Canada’s largest Clean Nutrition Companies, Vega, Ashley & Phil were leaders who inspired me to show up to my job with passion, determination, and an all in attitude.
Though I never did have a lot of direct interaction with them, I watched them support Vega’s Growth Strategy in many visionary ways.
If you’re not familiar with BASD...
Basd Body Care is a line of organic, plant-basd, cruelty-free natural body care products.
Ashley & Phils vision behind basd was to be transparent, to use only ingredients they were proud of, and to create a brand that celebrates and nourishes all bodies.
Knowing how much insight they would have in the realms of sales & marketing, entrepreneurship, and building a brand from the ground up--- I knew that their episode would be a sure hit on the visionary life podcast.
Since our episode, Supplements company Genuine Health has acquired Basd which is VERY exciting!
They now serve as the General Manager & Vice President of Brand Activation.
Enjoy this re-released episode with Ashley & Phil, founders of BASD Body Care
This episode is sponsored by Healthy Planet.
If you’re intrigued by the acquisition of BASD by Genuine Health, listen up.
Genuine Health is a company that makes all natural, science-based supplements that give your body the nourishment it needs for improved energy, cognition, movement, sleep and gut health – so you can love how you feel, every day.
And, isn’t it wonderful that you can grab their products like Greens + & Collagen at HEALTHY PLANET. I love when my worlds collide!

When life gives you lemons, build the business anyway!
My guest of the show today shared this wisdom in our episode together and I couldn’t agree more. It serves as an amazing reminder that there is never and will never be a “perfect time” to launch your business, so sometimes you need to commit to the finish line and do it anyways!
Today, I am thrilled to bring you this episode with one of my Visionary Method Students, Jillian.
Jillian Leslie is a nutritionist with a degree in Foods and Nutrition, as well as a doTERRA Wellness Advocate.
Her business operates under Jillian Dawne; a play on the name Dawne which means daybreak or sunrise that ties into her approach to life, health and business - which is that every day offers us a fresh start to show up!
Her vision is to help reconnect women with their health and well being, so that they can create their most vibrant lives.
She’s a busy single mom who understands how life can pull us in so many directions.
Her approach to health is simple, and practical so that when life happens you can come back to the basics of taking care of you!
Recording this episode with Jill was so much fun.
We spent the entire day together at my home in Toronto before pressing record, because Jill was actually the winner of a Business Strategy Session with me as a prize that I run a contest around inside TVM
Together we worked on crafting her sales page for a brand new program that she is creating for her community, we dined to some delicious Cuban Food, and then we recorded this conversation so that you can listen in on Jill’s journey of bringing her business idea to life.
We chat about:
- What to do when you have a deeper knowing for your life but aren’t quite clear on what it looks like,
- Embracing the fact that the journey is not linear when it comes to living your purpose… it’s NEVER linear!
- Jill shares how to nurture your passions while working & moming full time,
- She talks about what to do when you hit a wall
- And the power of the compounding effects of many small changes,

Kara is a Holistic Physiotherapist, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Wellness Expert.

Over the past decade Kara has developed a specialty in chronic pain and stress management through the evolution of her work and business as she weaves Western and Eastern Medicine & Philosophy.
She is the owner of Bodhi Wellness Centre in Deep River, Ontario where you can find her treating clients by day and running yoga and meditation classes by night.
She believes that the body and mind are inextricably linked and that we cannot find balance in one without balance in the other.
I was lucky enough to bring Kara back on the show because she’s continually inspiring, evolving, and has a lot of wisdom to share with you all.
We chat about…
- Lessons learned on her recent trek to Nepal

It might be Winter here in Canada, but hearing the word Popsicle's can instantly bring a smile to anyone’s face!
Memories of hot summer nights and vacation vibes come to mind when I think about enjoying a tasty, icy cold treat.
If the word Popsicle's evokes happy memories for you too, than you are probably going to this weeks interview with Happy Pops founder Leila Keshavjee
Are you as excited as I am to hear about the story behind Dragon’s Den sensation Leila Keshavjee who has reinvented the world of Popsicle's with an all natural ice pop made with real fruit and sweetened with a hint of organic cane sugar.
Happy Pops was launched back in 2016, after Leila learned about all of the hidden, nasty sugars lurking in traditional Popsicle's, Leila Keshavjee knew there had to be a better way.
An athlete herself, Leila wanted to "healthify" the Popsicle and create a version that could be a breakfast, post-workout treat, or a snack before bed…. A snack you could feed to the whole family and feel GOOD about it!
That’s the birth story of Happy Pops!
Leila drew on her South Asian heritage and travels, as well as her family’s experience in the food industry, to come up with a flavour line-up that can’t be found anywhere else
From Passion Fruit and Guava to Mango and Strawberry, or my personal 2 faves.. The Matcha or the Coffee… Happy Pops is a clean-ingredient treat that appeals to Canada’s diverse tastes.
The ice pops are handcrafted in small batches without artificial ingredients and are sold at specialty retail stores, farmers markets and festivals in Ontario and Quebec.
p.s. If Leila’s story sounds familiar, it’s because she landed a $150,000 deal on CBC's Dragons Den with my personal fave dragon Arlene Dickinson. If you missed that episode, go checkout the first episode of Season 13. It was an epic episode.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Talk to people and build a community around your ideas
- Be prepared to go all in when things take off!
- It’s okay to fail, in fact… it’s part of the process
- Pivot, quickly, when necessary!
- Surround yourself with mentors who can guide you through this journey
- You have to want it!
Find happy pops so you can try their delicious-ness for yourself:

Hey visionaries,
I have a super fun episode for you today… I mean, they’re ALL fun .. but truly, you’re going to LOVE today’s guest Sofia da Silva.
Sofia is the founder of a ready-to-drink adaptogenic beverage company called RAIZ.
Do you guys have ANY idea what I mean by that?
An adaptogen is a naturally occurring substance that helps the body adapt to stress, exerting a normalizing and immune-boosting effect on the body. Adaptogens have been used in Ancient Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurvedic Medicine for centuries.
To go a little deeper… We live in a fast-paced, high-stress and stimulating world, making it easy for the hard-working individual to turn to caffeine and refined sugar for their afternoon pick-me-up, but what isn't easy, is the crash that follows.
So visionaries, I ask you… if you work in an office, are a mama, or have a fast paced life… do you think you could benefit from this amazing beverage.?
raiz is the first adaptogenic superdrink company in Canada, and was developed by holistic nutritionist, Sofia. She founded the company after being inspired by the ancient herbs, roots and adaptogens that her grandma used to fuel her and help her stay energized. raiz offers healthy, clean and functional beverages that are low in caffeine and sugar, and are supercharged with only the best ingredients!
If you’ve EVER had ambitions to start a product-based business, you’re going to love this episode!
Sofia is driven, smart and has so much to offer aspiring & start up entrepreneurs.
This episode was SO much fun to record… you are going to love it.
We chat about..
- The advice she would give, based on her experience with Raiz, to anyone yearning to start a side hustle or product based business
- How to put yourself in the room with people you want to be like and why it’s vital to your success
- A piece of business advice that she’ll never forget, and puts into practice each time she has a meeting
- How to test your idea on a sample market, before launching large scale
- The 2 best marketing strategies she uses to build awareness and sell her product
- The role that social media plays in building her brand
- How she got the first few bottles of Raiz onto store shelves
- & MORE

Before I share more about today’s episode, can we talk social media?
Story time...
7 years ago, I had just moved to Toronto
Check yourself before you wreck yourself! Social media is NOT the answer to all of your business problems (I hate to break it to you!).
However, it is a relatively barrier-free way to share you brand with hundreds & thousands of potential clients, worldwide! What other marketing effort can promise you that!?
On today's episode, I am sharing 4 tips to master your social media mindset.
-
I will be discussing…
- limiting beliefs that are holding you back from social media success- identifying your “triggers” on social media that cause you to feel icky after scrolling- positive experiences that make social media a FUN place to hang out- building out your ‘alter ego’ that puts your best self forward when you show up on social

This week, I’m sitting down with Natalie James, founder and CEO of Vent Blow Dry Bar.
Natalie is also a wife, mom of three, and she’s got such a relatable story behind her recent leap into entrepreneurship.
As a business coach, I have people reaching out to me all of the time saying “I really want to start a business, but I feel like it’s too late to make a change”
Or
“I’m so busy juggling life as a parent… I have a full time job… I’ll never be able to make a change”
But the thing is,
YOU CAN.
And as soon as you give yourself that permission… It’s possible!
For 20+ years Natalie had gained valuable experience throughout her career in politics and not-for-profit. Throughout this time she felt most inspired by the stories of female entrepreneurs, for their sense of adventure and willingness to take risks.
Overtime Natalie realized she needed to make a change. Living on autopilot was no longer an option. And she had that inner fire to build something from nothing. Talk about inspiring!
So.. Feeling a strong desire to make a change, Natalie set out to take a detour and leave her career to carve her own path.
This change didn’t happen overnight for Natalie.
She wrote a detailed business plan, did her market research, and at a certain point… it became all consuming. It was time to press go!
July 2017, Vent opened its first location in Liberty Village. Vent quickly gained momentum and has welcomed thousands of clients from the GTA and visitors from around the world. Clients experience Vent’s unique approach to affordable luxury and exceptional customer service.
Dedicated to providing outstanding experiences, Natalie believes in challenging her team to be the best in Toronto and promotes a workplace culture that treats her team members like family. She believes that the best way to achieve an outstanding customer experience is to treat her team members as Vent’s most important asset.
Vent’s mission is to fill the gap in the hair industry by providing an alternative to the full-service salon. It is a place where women can get a professional service in a unique atmosphere complete with high quality beautiful finishes. A space designed to save busy women time, empower them and build their confidence through a self-care experience unlike any other.
Natalie is really pulling the curtain back to share how she made the leap from her full time job in politics and not for profit, to full time CEO.
She encourages us that it’s never too late to follow your heart.
And Natalie gives us on honest look at what it took to get her business ready to serve 1000’s of clients!

Most recently, YYOGA launched an on demand class streaming platform called YYOGA at Home, allowing guests to practice with YYOGA teachers anytime, anywhere while accessing expert knowledge.
I was generously gifted a 2 month trial of YYOGA at home and have enjoyed the Pilates , barre & yoga classes that i’ve taken right on my patio!

I am thrilled to bring you this episode with an incredible human named Alvin Pilobello, who is the founder of an emotional intelligence coaching & experiential workshop company called mindspaceIMPACT.
Ever since I met Alvin a few months back at my coworking space, I’ve loved having life & business chats with him in between our focused work sessions, and it’s been really neat to follow along his journey into entrepreneurship.
When I had the pleasure of attending one of his workshops called The Art of Meaningful Conversation.. I was blown away by the way he was able to deliver such unique information to a crowd, keeping it interactive and making it look effortless.
If you are located in the Toronto area, you MUST try and check one of his upcoming workshops out!
Alvin Pilobello founded mindspaceIMPACT in 2018, an emotional intelligence coaching and experiential workshop company, helping individuals and teams make better decisions in work projects and create stronger relationships. He discovered his passion for developing others through his leadership positions with the Water Environment Federation, leading teams across the USA and Canada to create professional development and leadership programs. Finally, Alvin has been a salsa dance instructor since 2008, helping people find their inner confidence to express themselves.
Developing better emotional intelligence has been Alvin's own journey as well, through evolving his own self-awareness and social-awareness in order to better align values and actions with his desired impact on others. Ultimately, Alvin is passionate about the art of reinvention, and helping people reinvent their perspectives, mindsets, and acting courageously on their vision, when life calls for it.
What you’re going to love about this episode is that it’s extremely relatable.
In this episode, we chat about…
- Why Alvin left his Engineering Career 10 years into it
- The role that self-exploration has impacted where he is today,
- Networking tips that can help you land a dream job
- How & why he decided to pursue a career in coaching,
- Why he’s passionate about helping people build better relationships through meaningful conversation & being more playful,
- How salsa dancing has become a part of his teachings
- What to do if you’re feeling lonely
- And why the phrase “pave your own path” does not make sense to him

Today on the show, we have an extra special guest & long time friend of mine.. Kate!
Kate Shewaga is a plant-loving creative and flight attendant. She is the owner and creator of Bolt & Rally, an Etsy shop that specializes in happy home decor (in the form of personalized clay pots).
For over five years Kate has worked as a flight attendant for a Canadian airline, and although she still loves the flexibility, travel and perks of the job, two years ago she was itching to do something creative on her time off. After accumulating a few too many plants, Kate decided to paint her own clay pots and hand stamp cute phrases on them. They were so loved by family and friends that her fiancee (soon husband!) nudged her to try selling them online. Kate turned to Etsy, a handmade and vintage selling platform, where she opened a shop, posted a few photos, and as easy as that, Bolt & Rally was born.
What started as a side hustle and hobby quickly turned into a full-time business that Kate has poured her heart and soul into. In just over two years, the hand painted planters can be found living in 45 US States, 9 Canadian Provinces and in both the UK and Australia.
You can find Kate in Toronto where she lives with her soon-to-be husband, Jordan, and their adopted mini border collie, Pixie. Kate loves to share her travel adventures and most importantly her love of plants on the B&R instagram page, @boltandrally.
In this episode we chat about…
- How she decided on the name Bolt x Rally
- Balancing being a Full Time flight attendant, while also running a thriving Etsy shop
- Esty specific tips for those of you curious to learn more about the platform
- She recaps the moment that the idea for Bolt x Rally came to her (& what she did next!)
- Kate shares some of the FIRST things she did to bring this idea into reality
- How she got her first few sales (& 100's more sales, after that!)

Hello!
Welcome back to the Visionary Life Podcast. I am so grateful that you're here.
This is the Season Finale of Season 3. I cannot believe this, even as I am writing it.
What began as a dream... a vision... back in December of 2017, has blossomed into one of the coolest projects that I've ever worked on. I seriously love every minute of creating, recording, editing & promoting the show.
The community that I've met and been connected to throughout the course of this Visionary journey have been the key reason why I continue to pour hours and hours each week into making a show for you.
Since this is the Season Finale, this is a great time to provide feedback or let me know who you'd like to hear on Season 4! We will resume with episodes on Sunday, September 11th.
Until then, I hope to stay connected. The best place to find me is on Instagram @kelseyreidl or on my website www.kelseyreidl.com

Zoey Shamai is the founder and president at Tonica Kombucha, a Canadian beverage company.
Zoey’s entrepreneurial journey began in early childhood witnessing her mother, a health entrepreneur, pioneer a line of hemp and chia food products. While becoming a certified yoga instructor, Zoey was introduced to kombucha tea. Moved by the immediate effect it had on her digestion, Zoey became an avid kombucha brewer and began to share her fermented beverage with her community.
At a time when there were no other kombucha brands on the market in Canada, she became the first commercial kombucha brewer in Toronto. Although Tonica started as a love hobby, the overwhelming response Zoey got from consumers grateful for the digestive aid and skin cleansing from her fermented tea made it clear - this was just the beginning. And Tonica Kombucha was borne.
By 2011, Zoey had grown Tonica Kombucha to be sold in over 100 retail stores across Canada. In 2012 Zoey appeared on CBC’s Dragons’ Den with a winning pitch. Her appearance garnered international attention and though she declined the deal with the dragons off-air, the appearance opened doors to mainstream retailers. In 2016, Dragons’ Den featured Zoey again in a Success Story follow-up episode where they profiled Tonica’s production and filmed Zoey teaching a yoga class.
Today, Tonica continues to produce exceptionally authentic kombucha in their 12,000+ sq ft facility and is one of the only Canadian brands that remains brewed in small batches. Tonica is now sold in over 2000 stores across Canada including Whole Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, Metro, and Loblaws. Zoey has been featured in several publications, including Canadian Business Executive, The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Canadian Women in Food and Cityline.
In this episode we chat about…
- How the idea to start Tonica Kombucha turned into reality
- We talk about her trip to Costa Rica & the impact it had on her launching her business
- Zoey shares where she learned the skills necessary to launch and scale her business
- How she figured things out one step at a time, as a pioneer in the kombucha industry
- The massive growth of her company in the past decade
- The art of ASKING for what you want
- Tips for being great at selling
- How she grew her team
- Her experience going on CBC’s Dragon’s Den to give her pitch
- & so much more

Today on the show I am chatting with Paul & Russ from the company JusTea.
JusTea is a fair-trade tea partnership with small-scale Kenyan farmers, who are on a mission to connect tea drinkers to the farmer who made their cup of tea possible. They are all about creating sustainable employment on the ground and providing customers with access to healthy new Purple Tea!
So what is purple tea you ask?
It grows naturally in Kenya from Purple Tea leaves (similar to other purple superfoods: blueberries/acai) . Purple Tea has more antioxidants than green tea (hello anthocyanins!) and half the caffeine of green tea.
JusTea has already won BC’s “Product of the Year” last year for Purple Tea and I have no doubt that with leadership from today’s guest, Paul & Russ.. they are on track to win more and more awards in years to come.
On this episode we chat about:
- Where the idea for JusTea came from & how it began to evolve into a business plan
- Some of the first few steps that needed to happen, in order to BEGIN launching a packaged good
- Their journey using crowdfunding to raise some of their initial capital
- How they use their product packaging as part of their storytelling (you have to see this tin -- head over to my website to check it out)
- Some of their proudest moments in launching their business
- The incredible partnerships they have in Kenya & how they manage relationships with people halfway across the world, in different time zones
- Their big hairy audacious goals for the future

Welcome back!
Today on the show it's the final installment of our series with Prince Edward County Business Owners. I'm chatting with Darryl & Ryan of OneLook Productions.
OneLook Productions is a Prince Edward County based production company that provides full service real estate marketing to the Bay of Quinte, Kingston, Peterborough, Durham & Kawartha Lakes regions as well as surrounding areas.
OneLook was founded in early 2018 by Ryan Snyder and Darryl Griffioen with the goal of modernizing how real estate is marketed in more rural areas. They partner with agents to provide these marketing tools, such as video, photography and 3D tours, at an affordable price so agents can make their listings stand out. OneLook also provides corporate production and marketing services. The idea for this business came over 10 years ago when Darryl wrote a business plan for a similar company in College. Unknowingly, Ryan had also wrote a similar business plan for his program and it had come up in conversation one day. They decided that maybe some day they should follow through with the idea.
Fast forward to 2018, Darryl had just moved to Prince Edward County after living out West for the last 5 years and Ryan had been in The County for the last 7 years. After having both gone through some tragedies over the last couple of years, they decided it was time to take control of their own lives and stop working for other people. It was time to take the dive into entrepreneurship and so OneLook Productions was born!
In this episode we chat about:
- How they decided which services to offer when launching their business
- Pricing their offer & knowing their true worth (& not compromising!)
- Networking tips for the new entrepreneur
- How bombing some of their first sales pitches were actually their biggest learning moments
- In what ways their business partnership is a lot like a marriage, and vice versa
- The systems that they’ve adopted to scale up their success
- What it’s like living in Prince Edward County
& MORE!

If you’ve ever considered launching a business as a practitioner or health / fitness pro --- you’ll love this episode where we hear the story of how this studio came to be!
It was so fun to be able to record inside Wild Heart Healing Arts Space because it is visually stunning. One corner is chock full of beautiful plants and greenery, there are inspiring wall decorations, rock salt lamps & cozy healing vibes sprinkled throughout.
Stacey is a Registered Acupuncturist & Asian bodywork practitioner. Megan is a sound practitioner / movement teacher / passionate poet.
Both Megan and Stacey currently reside in PEC and within the past year, came together to open Wild Heart Healing Arts.
At Wild Heart, they work with a small collective of healers, teachers, and artists to empower the community to bring the sacred, meditative and beautiful into daily life. They believe in the integration of both healing & creative practices to inspire well being and meaningful connection to people from all walks of life.

Today, I sit down with Rachel Smith and Jean Parker, the owners of Maple Key Tart Co which is a boutique, pop-up butter tart company operating in Toronto and Prince Edward County.
These ladies had me laughing the entire episode and not only are they hilarious on their own, but together they are quite the entertaining duo.
In this episode, we not only had some good chuckles, but we also dove into…
- How they landed their Food Network TV show
- How they tested their idea and got proof of concept, before scaling up the business
- Community vs. competition
- How they landed their retail partners
- What it's really like being in business with family members
- How to get comfortable pitching yourself to vendors
- & SO MUCH MORE
Born in Windsor and raised in Bayside, Ontario, baking has been an integral part of Rachel and Jeans life for as long as they can remember; as kids their single mother started a butter tart business to supplement her income. Rachel and Jean spent hours helping their mother by filling tart tins, earning 10 cents a tin!
After becoming mothers themselves , Rachel and Jean had a similar idea of wanting to start a business and that’s when they co-founded their business, Maple Key Tart co. The Baker Sisters earned their name by taking their mother’s award-winning recipe and baking in a few tweaks to create a truly delectable formula.
They make four varieties of butter tarts: classic, raisin, pecan, and maple walnut. All of their pastries are handmade using quality locally-sourced ingredients.
Rachel and Jean also became the stars of the hit TV show The Baker Sisters, in which they visit three locations to sample the food that the bakery, restaurant or deli is famous for.
Then, they head to the kitchen with the expert baker to see exactly how they make their tempting confections. From finger-licking sticky buns to mouth-watering mile-high sponge cakes, these sisters are on an exciting baking adventure to discover where, who and how North America’s most blissful goodies are made.

When Mary Futher started reading the ingredients of her makeup remover wipes, she was shocked to discover that they were full of low-quality petro chemicals.
She had always been concerned about the ingredients in her skincare products and was aware of their environmental impact, but the inexpensive makeup remover wipes had never really struck her as a problem.
Little did she know, these seemingly innocuous wipes were actually laden with harmful chemicals that could be polluting the environment and damaging our health.
That's when Mary had an idea: what if she could create something better than those traditional makeup remover wipes?
After doing extensive market research and gathering feedback from friends and family members, Mary decided to take the leap and start her own business creating organic, eco-friendly makeup removal products.
And over the next few years, thanks to hard work and determination, Mary succeeded in building a successful brand called Kaia Naturals known for its clean, toxin-free beauty products.
If you want to hear the full story of how Mary started her Clean Beauty Business, tune in!

If you’re a freelancer, work remotely or have another career situation that has you working from home -- you know it can be extremely lonely.
Sure it’s got it’s perks -- I won’t deny that.. But
While all your friends are grabbing drinks with their colleagues & playing on their work Frisbee team, sometimes solopreneurs are left wondering why they feel a sense of loneliness or not belonging.
Enter, coworking.
Working alone, together.
It’s something I began doing 4 years ago when it first became a possibility in Toronto with some of the first few spaces that popped up. SInce them, it’s become a completely normal concept and has helped millions of freelancers shift their work environment from overcrowded coffee shops to a more sophisticated space with reliable wifi, ergonomic chairs and an unlimited drip of coffee… oh ya, and awesome people to call your co-workers.
Today’s show features a conversation with Rachel Kelly, the founder of Make Lemonade Coworking Space in Toronto.
Make Lemonade is a design-forward co-working environment, where the coffee is strong, the lighting is bright, and phone calls can be made without worrying who might be making a racket beside you.
They are committed to treating all people with respect, dignity and fairness & welcome people of all backgrounds, are LGBTQ+ friendly, and encourage everyone to be themselves.
I was connected to Rachel through a mutual friend, and as someone who is obsessed with co-working I knew I needed to get Rachel on the podcast to hear about how she dreamed up, created & launched this space.
Co-working has radically shifted my life & my business, and I know it will change yours too if you ever decide to explore it.
Rachel and I had so many similarities & I found myself nodding along "yes yes yes" to this entire interview.
We recorded this quite late on a Monday night back in February (at least late by my standards, lol) and it was a true pleasure to hear Rachel's story of figuring out what she wanted to do with her life after dabbling in many industries, traveling abroad, trying on for size a slew of volunteer positions & navigating her many interest & passions.
You can find make lemonade online at: www.makelemonade.ca/
Or, find them in person.. 326 Adelaide Street West
I'm planning to attend one of their Side Hustle Sunday's or Mixer Events, very soon - so let me know if you'd like to go!
P.s. Have you heard about our VISIONARY EVENT?
On April 14th I'm hosting YOU for a 1-day #visionarylife retreat.⠀
We are going to focus on learning the tools necessary to live & lead our most visionary lives, and uncover how we can take more action, achieve our biggest goals & propel our growth ⭐️⠀

What began as a local crew running the streets of Toronto, then evolved into massive summer park yoga events , and finally making a permanent home at the base of one of the most popular streets in Toronto, Spadina.
Offering both spin and yoga classes, there is truly a class type for everyone. I am lucky enough to be one the Spin Instructors at Tribe and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Check out a class at Tribe! I teach Monday’s and Thursday’s!
In this episode, we chat about:

Wize Monkey is a Vancouver company that makes coffee leaf tea! Have you heard of it?
Max Rivest is one of the co-founders & he was such a joy to chat with & get to know.
Here's a bit of their story:
What started as a thesis project in 2013 has become an award-winning social venture and disruptor in the beverage industry. Wize Monkey takes unused coffee leaves during the 9-month-long off-season, trains farmers to ferment and craft them into premium teas, and sells them nationally in North America and across the globe via online. Not only have their products taken home ‘Best New Product’ at the World Tea Expo, but they’ve also won prestigious awards like the NEXTY Award for ‘Best Mission-Driven Natural Product’ and Small Business BC ‘Best International Trade Award’.

About the Founder
Erin started this journey in 2018 when she was trying to figure out how to make a positive impact on climate change. To give you some context, Erin lived in Toronto and worked a full-time 9 to 5 corporate job. Working in a place where people threw out coffee cups in the trash and recycled their food waste, any impact she would make seemed negligible. Despite some skeptical friends she tested the feasibility of a zero-waste lifestyle by doing a 2-week zero-waste challenge with one other coworker. During the challenge she still produced some plastic waste but she realized how easy it was to make small changes to reduce the amount of waste she produced.
In order to go the full length she needed more supplies. Zero-waste products are surprisingly difficult to find (without plastic packaging!) and especially difficult to find in Canada. This is why she created Hera & Co, to help by not only providing the supplies people need to live a zero-waste lifestyle, but also by offering some pro tips on Hera’s Blog.
Erin is just wrapping up her time as a student inside The VISIONARY METHOD & I am so proud of her journey!

Hey everyone -- it came to my attention that many of you were NOT able to download this episode, so I am re-releasing it this week with an new audio file.
Katie Heggtveit is the youngest visionary we've featured on the show!
She also might be the busiest, most driven woman you've EVER listened to on a podcast. Prepare to be inspired!
Katie runs her Toronto-based charity, Bootcamps for Change, while studying at Ryerson University full time.
Her baby, Bootcamps for Change was born after nutrition and fitness saved her life at the age of 13.
As an empathetic, lifelong volunteer with vulnerable populations, she began to develop strategies to directly address health inequities and employment gaps in her community. Katie is determined to change how the population views street youth by removing accessibility barriers to employment education, life skills as well as fitness and nutrition programs to close the loop. Some of the topics that we cover in today’s episode include:
- The importance of volunteering and making it a priority in your life, no matter what age
- The real definition of failure should simply be: when you don’t start something that's important to you
- You’re never too young to begin building your passion project
- Katie shared that building community and connections were some of the first steps towards building Bootcamps for Change
- We all have the power to change other people’s lives in a big way
- If you don’t know where to begin-- looks to others! What are they doing? How can you modify or improve it?

Today’s episode features the owner of Anice Jewellery, Brittany Hopkins.
Anice Jewellery is store on Ossington Avenue in Toronto and with an online boutique. They specialize in making custom, one-of-a-kind jewellery, re-purposing old treasures to give them a new life, and working with clients to create timeless pieces.
For Britt, jewellery is more than just an accessory, it is a form of expression, an opportunity to shine, a boost of confidence, a way to connect and a symbol of love. It is her hope that you feel more than just satisfied with your Anice product, but inspired and lifted.
Brittany has hosted workshops that I’ve brought my family to, she helped Dave and I craft the perfect wedding bands, and I’m been in awe of the magical space that she’s created.. which feels more like your best friends home, rather than a retail shop.
Her energy is magic, her business is growing at a rapid rate (at the time of this recording, Britt was expanding into the upper 2 levels of her building: a space that will allow for an in-house office, and a dedicated workshop space)
She doesn’t shy away from sharing that it’s not all glittery when you have your own business! With every milestone she’s hit, there have been accompanying challenges. She's real, she's savvy & she's a true inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs.
I hope you feel inspired after hearing her story. I’m excited to bring you this interview 6 years after meeting Britt in a muay thai studio, taking spin classes together.
Let’s dive in!

Welcome to one of our FINAL episodes of 2018!
Today, I’m chatting with Johnathan Bonnell, co-founder of the Canadian company WHOLLY VEGGIE! that makes extremely tasty, vegetable filled foods.
Whether you’re an aspiring business owner of a plant-based foodie yourself, you’ll really love this episode!
John & WHOLLY VEGGIE! co-founder David set out to understand why people weren’t eating more vegetables. People seem to really love them…in theory. But they don’t love peeling, chopping, boiling, etc. Turns out veggies are too much work and not enough taste. So that was their goal: make vegetables easy to prepare and full of taste.
With that in mind, they chatted up a chef and presented a seemingly impossible task: Make us a veggie dish that even the laziest meatatarian would eat. One that was filled with good quality vegetables and free of the bad stuff that freaks everyone out. After 27 versions and countless taste tests, they struck gold.
I’m so thankful that Jonathan made the time among his CRAZY schedule to come record this podcast with me at my Co-working space. You must get your hands on some wholly veggie products next time you’re grocery shopping and please snap a screenshot and share the episode if you’re listening.
In this episode we hear all about the business story of WHOLLY VEGGIE! Including how Johnathan met his co-founder, what he was up to before becoming an entrepreneur, how they launched their business, the challenges of daily operations, and some of the biggest and most exciting milestones that these ambitious entrepreneurs have hit!

Welcome back, visionaries!
This week on the show I have for you an incredible interview with Marlie Cohen, who is a wellness and lifestyle expert based in Toronto. She is also the founder of the blog + Instagram account + YouTube channel called Kale & Krunches.
After struggling to stay active and eat well in her office job, Marlie found ways to keep healthy in the workplace and began sharing these tips on her social media channels under the alias, Kale and Krunches. From clean recipes and healthy food hot spots, to new workouts and the latest activewear, Marlie loves sharing her favourite products and routines with her audience. Now a full-time content creator and fitness instructor, Marlie continues to offer her tips to achieving balance and wellness with all her readers and community.
I adored interviewing Marlie! You're going to love this episode.
We chat about:
- her perspective on the world of influencers (a rather new career path that involves being paid by brands to promote & share their products)
- how she decides on which brands to partner with (& which ones NOT to!)
- what her non-negotiable health habits are
- how she transitioned from FT corporate job to being in business FT for herself, and what the messy middle looked like

Welcome back! Sorry that I'm late.... will you forgive me!?
Today we’re chatting with Carolyn Gummo from City Reviva, a vintage clothing shop in Prince Edward County.
Caroyln took over a family business with next to no formal business education and is navigating the journey one step at a time. Before we started recording, we chatted about impostor syndrome. Have you ever felt this?
You know that ‘who am I to be doing this’ or ‘what do I have to share that’s worthy’.
Carolyn literally said to me before the show that she wasn’t sure she was necessarily the right person for the show… but of course, I begged to differ. I am thrilled to be able to highlight someone who is pushing their comfort zones, learning along the path, and navigating the impostor syndrome each and every day.
She may not fully identify as a visionary yet, but I see it shining in her SO bright. It’s so special.
City Revival is SUCH a gem in The County. You MUST visit if you go to PEC in Ontario.
Here are 6 important things that I learned from Carolyn in this episode!
- Ask for help BEFORE you burnout
- Get inspired when you travel: seek out the type of businesses you love for inspiration and explore new spaces when you're away from home
- Outsource the things that you don’t feel strong doing
- Infuse FUN into your workplace
- Get your foot in the door to start your career
- A morning run can change your day
Once again, I was lucky enough to partner with Prince Edward County and the community development department to bring you this episode, so I want to say a massive thank you to them for believing in me and for their willingness to support this series, highlighting the incredible talent among the visionary entrepreneurs in the area.
I would highly encourage anyone who is interested in learning more, or potentially exploring new opportunity in life or career, to head to Buildanewlife.ca and check out their blog which shares the stories of their residents.
I’m truly honoured to be able to share a little piece of the magic that’s happening right now in the county with you, in hopes that we can all pull a little bit of this magical energy into our own lives.

I've worked hard to create my business over the past 5+ years.
If I've learned one thing, it's that it's never going to be easy but it's always going to be worth it.
Visionary Life & The VISIONARY METHOD™ have been TOTALLY worth it!
In today's episode, there is no interview.... just a conversation with myself about the evolution of my brand and how I ended up launching The VISIONARY METHOD (beginning November 12th).
I hope you'll join the program.

Hey everyone!
You’re going to love this week's episode. I recorded it on an apple orchard (a literal dream come true for me since podcasts + apples are two of my favourite things in life!) but we get down to BUSINESS with Amelia and her dad Colin.
I took away some powerful lessons from this episode. Here’s a quick synopsis:
- As a business owner, you should learn to be okay with financial risk
- Read the book The Lean Startup (HERE)
- Don’t talk about things, DO things!
- Look for grants that you can apply for
- If you want to start a business, make a business plan, encounter obstacles, fail, and just do it
Today's interview...
Amelia and Matt have been making hard cider since 2012, after they fell in love with the beverage in London, England. After successfully completing their post-secondary education, Matt and Amelia visited London, England. While they were exploring the culture in London, they stumbled upon traditional hard apple cider. From then on, they were hooked.
On their return, they started experimenting with different blends of apple varieties from the family farm. Their recipe was perfected over many bottles shared with family and friends. They were destined for cider-making, obsessed with achieving exceptional taste using just one ingredient, apples.
Passionate about cider and driven to succeed, Amelia and Matt started Apple Falls Cider Company. Their cider uses 100% Campbell's Orchards apples, hand picked from the family farm. The exceptional quality of the apples from Campbell's Orchards directly ensures great tasting cider.

Today on the podcast I am chatting with Nikole Goncalves from HealthNut Nutrition!
Nikole is the face behind one of the top leading healthy food and lifestyle YouTube channels in Canada called HealthNut Nutrition-- with a following of over 400K subscribers and over 26 million views.
She's a passionate "health nut" who inspires her viewers to live an active, healthy and balanced lifestyle by showing how easy and delicious it can be.
One thing I love about Nikole is that she’s SO much more than a health nut & YouTube maven.
She’s a smart business owner.
She’s a total visionary.
She’s a leader in the online marketing & YouTube world.
She’s inspiring & positive in the way she shares her heart and her business.
And based on the amount of content she puts out, I know she’s a VERY hard worker!
Nikole was gracious enough to allow me to come hang out at her HealthNut HQ to record this in person interview. After following her videos online for some time, I was thrilled to meet her in person and discover that she is just as bubbly and kind as you see her convey on her channel.
In this episode, Nikole takes us back to the early days of her channel (when far fewer than 400,000 eyes were on her videos), what motivates her to keep moving forward, how she made HealthNut Nutrition into a full time job, her favourite tools as a busy entrepreneur, and what’s next for the health nut community.
Let’s not waste anymore time.. Allow me to introduce you to Nikole.

Today on the show we are chatting with a human who seriously kicks ASS.
Chris Crawford is the CEO of Kick Ass Media, but he chooses to go by the job title of Founder & Fearless Leader… and that he is.
Chris was a high school dropout who has built up 6 figure printing and marketing business called Kick Ass Media, that does printing and creates displays for marketing campaigns and experiential events all over Canada and the U.S.
They’ve worked with clients such as Indigo, Disney, City of Toronto, CTV, TD, Much Music and other multi million dollar companies to create kick ass event branding and portable displays.
But Chris wasn’t always on this path.
With his visionary spirit, his determination to succeed and willingness to learn through failure, Chris followed opportunity when it arose, and was never afraid to change his path and take on the next challenge.
You’re going to love this episode because not only is Chris an incredible example of going from being in debt and not knowing when the next paycheck was going to come in, the having a thriving media company with a team of extraordinary people… but Chris is also someone who develops his mind each and everyday in order to consciously pursue his continual improvement.
He’s a huge fan of morning routines, Tim Ferriss 4 hour workweek, finding purpose and passion in your work, coaching people to follow their highest vision, self teaching the skills you want, developing a positive culture within the work space, busting through fear, and always tweaking his leadership to become BETTER.
I had no idea what to expect, not knowing Chris before the interview, but I can truly say that he is a visionary who makes a big impact on everyone he meets.
Enjoy the episode with Chris from Kick ass media.

Today on the show, we’re chatting with Rachael Hunt of the blog from Gluten Freedom.
Rachael has built an incredibly loyal following using her blog and social media channels, which guides fellow gluten free foodies to navigate the food scene and gluten free lifestyle with ease.
Beyond her gluten free niche, I knew Rachael would be an incredible guest on the show because she is the epitome of someone who is following her heart & passion in this world, and creating the business of her dreams in the process. She’s truly a visionary.
She blogs, she attends influencer events, she creates recipes / e-books and online programs, she hosts a podcast (which I was featured on, towards the beginning of the show) and she runs workshops with past podcast guest Becka Crowe, under their brand Vibe Tribe Wellness… among many many other things,
Whether you’re a gluten free maven, a blogger, a podcaster, or passionate health and wellness enthusiast, I know you’re going to love Rachaels fun spirit and go-getter attitude.
Rachael and I chat about what she was up to before launching Gluten Freedom, the many iterations of her business, launching a second brand with her BFF to focus on lifestyle and wellness, and so much more

To kick off season 2, I am sharing an incredible interview with an incredibly talented woman named Sara Monika.
Sara and I met a few years ago when she did some head shots for me, and I was absolutely blown away by her work. Beyond the stunning photos that she captures: her energy is electric, her expertise is unparalleled and her zest for life and her business has helped her create a thriving photography business. Sara has waiting lists, books up years in advance, and has received all sorts of recognition on her images because they are truly unique.
If you ask her to share her condensed bio- she would tell you that she’s a documentary wedding photographer for free-spirited + adventurous couples. She finds beauty in unexpected, in between moments on wedding days that are full of laughter, tears, stolen glances + extra long hugs.
From knowing Sara for the past few years, I would also tell you about her drive to improve and grow her business (this year she reached some epic records in sales), her relentless pursuit of betterment through hiring coaches and working through online courses, and her ambitions for the future of her business and expansion.
I can’t wait for you to her this conversation between Sara and I, learning all about her highs and lows on entrepreneurship-- and what it really took to build her portfolio to where it is today.
Let’s dive in!

6 MONTHS!
I can’t believe I’ve been at this ‘podcast thing’ for six months. I knew I’d love it, but had no idea how much. I feel really grateful that I get to do this work and share it with you all.
I can truly say that I've learned SO MUCH from launching + hosting this weekly show, and I've learned even more from my weekly conversations and interviews with my visionary guests. Everyone has such a unique and powerful message.
Today on the show, I’m celebrating this exciting 6 month milestone in my own Visionary Life by recapping what the last 6 months have looked like, what to expect in the coming 6 months, and announcing a very special GIVEAWAY!
In this episode I chat about:
- Why I started the show
- The purpose + mission that guide me to keep producing the show
- Lessons learned from past guests
- My audio vision-board
- Things I’m manifesting in the coming months (*one of them came true the DAY AFTER I recorded this episode!)

Visionaries Emma Andres & Lynsey Walker are the founders of a boutique communications agency called Pineapple Collective. The two of them came from career-backgrounds in education, sales and marketing within the natural health industry; and after years working for other top health brands, they decided to step out on their own, combine over 10+ years of experience, and launch Pineapple Collective.
Pineapple Collective is an agency unlike the others: their 'anything but average approach' is recognizable in everything they put their stamp on!
This interview is a true inspiration if you’ve ever wanted to explore how your passions and your business can beautifully flow together. I am so proud of what they have created in just a few short years, and can't wait for everyone to get a taste of Pineapple in their mouth (or ears?)!
In this episode of Visionary Life, we talk about:
- How they launched a modern communications agency
- The importance of getting your foot in the door when beginning a career in ANY industry
- How to sell through education
- The types of content you should create for your target customers
- The difference between an Influencer vs. thought leader
- Their favourite tools and resources to use as entrepenuers

Welcome back to the show!
This week is Part 4 of our spotlight Prince Edward County series with Melissa Condotta from Sunday's Company.
In this Spotlight PEC series, so far we have featured:
- The June Motel (episode here)
- The Vic Cafe (episode here)
- Parson's Brewery (episode here)
- The Parlour Studio (episode here)
- Sunday's Company (this week!)
Sunday's company is a herbal apothecary located in Warkworth, Ontario.
When big city life didn’t feel conducive to Melissa Condotta's next steps, she and her partner packed up their Toronto condo to begin a new life near The County, and they’ve never looked back.
Her husband Sunny runs The Dog Parc (a really neat dog psychology and rehabilitation center - check it out), and Melissa spends her days crafting products for Sunday’s Company, which started as a side project back when she lived in Toronto between her and a good friend and they worked on it on, you guessed it, Sunday’s.
Melissa’s products are really special. When I use them, I feel like I’m taking self care to the next level. Like i’m really connecting back to the Earth and with the beautiful wisdom that Mother Nature left us clues to follow.
As I speak to you I am covered in her Body Oil and the Calming Salve.
Also, recently Melissa messaged me to share that a collaboration shop between Sunday’s Company and Instagram maven Coriander Girl will be opening up in Picton, ON this month and it will be posted on Instagram soon. So stay tuned.

This week we are chatting with Sonya Szabo from The Vic Cafe in Prince Edward County. This is part 3 of our 4 part SPOTLIGHT PEC series.
The Vic is a quaint, cozy and insanely delicious fresh cafe and coffee shop located in Picton Ontario. Within the 4 walls of their cafe, Sonya and her husband Rick have managed to create a space where customer service is unparalleled, where menu items are thoughtfully created with your best health in mind, and where the coffee is held to the most rigorous of standards making it the best cup you’ll have during your stay.
The excellence that Sonya and Rick have withheld their customer experience to can be felt from the moment you walk in. You’re a valued customer and The team at The Vic will do whatever it takes to ensure that you walk out of their cafe feeling happy.
Rick & Sonya didn’t always have the coffee shop owner dream though...
Almost by fluke, they purchased the former eatery and brought a vision for a community space to life. We dive into their entire journey throughout the podcast.
What I loved about this conversation with Sonya is that we got down to BUSINESS almost right away and chatted about all things entrepreneurship and opening a thriving cafe. We recorded this episode early one morning in her office above the cafe, as we sipped a cup of their delicious coffee.
Her and I have similar assertive personalities, driven spirits and a need for continual improvements so I truly enjoyed chatting with Sonya.
In this episode we chat about:
- What a typical workweek of a coffee shop owner looks like
- How The Vic choose to creatively give back to their community
- Implementing systems that can simplify your business
- What it’s like Being in business with your significant other
- How to shut off work-mode and jsuts be present, as an entreprenuer
- Staying on top of trends in your respective industries
- And so much more!

Located inside of a beautiful historic building, The Parlour Studio is your destination for all things Living Arts, Plants, Ceramics, & Botanical Styling. Founded by a beautiful visionary woman named Jessica Acs, this studio is the most adorable shop in Prince Edward County that I would HIGHLY suggest visiting.
The moment that I entered the doors of The Studio I could feel the energy, the beauty, the high vibes and the passion that she has for her work. But Jess hasn't always been in the industry of plants! She has lived a life full of experiences: navigating multiple career changes, moving cities, and pivotig as life calls her to do so.
Jess and I have a really raw and authentic conversation about all things health, life, and business. We talk about what Jess was up to before The Parlour Studio came to be, and what the journey of opening her studio looked like.
We also chat about...
- Navigating Creative Blocks
- How to Find Meaningful Work
- Making the move from big city Toronto to small town Prince Edward County
- The importance of being in your Peak State of Health as a Business Owner
- Pivoting and making major life change
- Managing that 'Freelance Life' and 'Yes-Phase' of our lives
- & so much more!
I hope you get a chance to visit The Parlour Studio when you take a trip to Prince Edward County. Let Jess know that the Visionary Life podcast sent you!

SPOTLIGHT PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY.
Have you been? Have you heard of this magical little town? Did you know it was filled with artists, creatives and visionary business owners?
Well, if you don't know... know you know!
This is a special 4 part series of Visionary Life where we interview business owners in #TheCounty.

Today on the show we are chatting with Samantha from Parson’s Brewery.
Samantha and her husband Chris didn’t always live in the county or have a business in beer. In fact, much of their lives were spent living in Toronto, Ontario where Chris had a career in banking and Samantha had an advertising role with Telus Communications.
Chris began brewing beers in their garage with a single 50 liter tank - and upon receiving rave reviews from thirsty friends - the business of brewing organically started to grow.
Today, Chris & Samantha have moved their life to a beautiful property just outside of Prince Edward County and have opened an adjacent brewhouse, bottle shop and community hub in a restored barn-house.
Dave and I had the chance to sip on 4 of their beers and I can truly say that they are some of the best brews we have ever tasted.
As soon as we pulled up to the barn, I knew that their business was about more than just the beer the brewed, though. It was a place for family. For community. For connection. For enjoyment of life.
Be sure to check out my Instagram post to see more photos of Parson’s. I know it will make you stop for a visit next time you’re out near #PEC.
So Let’s dive into this episode with Samantha Parson where we chat about:
- How they went from nomadic souls and big city life, to living in the County
- What it’s like to start a business with your significant other
- Why it’s important to create a proper business plan
- Planning for expansion
- Their visions for making a big impact on a small community by creating a hub
- Reframing the fear of competition in a crowded industry
- & MORE!

Today I brought one of my very best friends on the show to chat all-things-social-media.
Samara and I often get together over coffee and chat about our lives. We discuss the highs, the lows, the bad, the good... and I really appreciate her as a friend because I never need to filter my conversations with her. It's 100% real talk and we simply chat about what's in our head and what's on our minds.
In the case of this weeks podcast, we decided to record our conversation about all-things-social-media. The idea came from an Instagram Detox that Samara was currently doing.
I know what you might be thinking...
- Do we really need to detox from social media?
- Is your relationship actually that bad with Instagram and Facebook?
- How much of your day is spent browsing and scrolling?
...I’m sure Samara and I are not the only ones who have considered a lot of these topics.
I want to first say that I truly believe we all have our own unique relationship with social media. As adults, we can consciously choose how we spend the 24 hours in our days - and if 1 person chooses to scroll Instagram for an hour and 1 person decides to play video games for an hour-- one is not worse than the other! We all have our vices.
Tune in, and enjoy this real conversation about a realm of life that we ALL deal with on a daily basis.

This week on the show we have Nimea Ariana, a visionary artist who lives in Toronto. This episode is unlike any other in the archives, so you’ll definitely want to tune in!
From the moment I arrived at her home, I was AMAZED at her warm personality and welcoming spirit.
She lives in this gorgeous studio apartment where she can sleep, cook, and CREATE big art installations all within her home. It was really neat to be present in her work space because she was able to walk me through her different creations and explain her creative process. She really opened up to me from the moment I met her, which was really cool.
Aside from her beautiful home decor , her artistic talents, and her eye for design, Nimea is just a beautiful soul and her presence is so calming yet energetic. Welcoming me with slippers and cookies, it felt like I had known her for years.
In this episode, Nimea and I chat about….
- The internal struggles she experienced as a child and how she navigated that
- The car accident & trip to Costa Rica that changed her life
- Why she moved to New York City with no job and how it all ended up working out
- Manifestation
- What is means to be a visionary artist & designer.. And not being afraid to create your own job title
- The natural evolution that comes when you’re your own business
- Finding a balance between work & play

This week on the show we have Sarah Skalsh & April Brown, the founders of The June Motel (aka The June).
As longtime friends, April and Sarah decided on a whim to purchase the former Sportsman Motel in Prince Edward County. They haven't been "moteliers" for long, but the reviews on their Motel are in and they are RAVING!
The decor of this place is dreamy, and the good wine & good vibes are the icing on the cake.
Sarah & April completely redesigned the vintage motel and re-invented the experience of what staying at a Motel looks like. What a visionary endeavor, if I have ever seen one!
I loved hearing about their journeys through the world of entrepreneurship, why they chose Prince Edward County as a place to start their business, and they also fill us in on the state of the motel industry today.
We also chat about:
- Life before the June (what were they up to before running a Motel!?)
- How the idea for a motel was born (it was random!)
- What their favourite part of running The June is...
- The inspiration for the drool worthy designs in each room of the motel
- And all things wine, good vibes and great company
Dave and I will be spending a night at The June Motel in May, and we are SO excited to check it out in person. I’ll be sure to report back once we experience all of the glory of being there... but in the meantime, go check them out and book your weekend getaway!

I’m really excited to share this week’s interview with all of you.
A few weeks ago I had the chance to sit down with Ashley Meston & Phil Lebeau who are the founders of Basd Body Care.
Basd Body Care is a line of organic, plant-basd, cruelty-free products. Ashley & Phils vision behind basd was to be transparent, to use only ingredients they were proud of, and to create a brand that celebrates and nourishes all bodies.
Knowing how much insight they would have in the realms of sales & marketing, entrepreneurship, and living in an inspired state everyday; I knew that you would all love listening to this podcast episode as much as I loved recording it for you.
In this episode we chat about:
- Why consumer education is imperative in marketing and sharing your business
- Rituals that help Ashley and Phil perform as high level entrepreneurs
- What they love most about being CEO’s of their own life + biz
- The best beauty app that everyone should download immediately!
- The importance of post secondary education in today’s self-taught era
- What experience do you really need to launch your own business
- The early stages of developing basd and the idea for a brand + culture, first and foremost
- And so much more!

Today’s guest is Kara Foley.
Some of the words I would use to describe Kara include kind, a total boss babe, hard working, compassionate, and just a beautiful soul to be around.
And let me tell you, the challenges and unexpected bumps in the road over the past few years could have completely de-railed Kara, yet somehow she continues to move forward. To see her challenges, to face them, and then to fuel her fire with them.
Kara is the founder of Physio Bodhi; a wellness shop, yoga studio, smoothie bar, health clinic, and holistic space in Deep River, Ontario.⠀
We chat about:
- all things spiritual
- finding community after moving to a small town
- what wellness hacks are REALLY necessary to live a healthy life
- what prompted her to take her yoga teacher training and launch a studio of her own
- managing the health of her family despite some major challenges
- keeping the vibes high and healthy for everyone who is in her presence
She’s truly a superwoman if I’ve ever seen one. Let’s get into it, here’s this weeks episode with Kara Foley.

Hi friends– welcome back to the Visionary Life podcast.
I had many of you asking what the heck a visionary life is, where I came up with the idea, and where to learn more– so I recorded an impromptu Facebook Live video from a phone booth in Toronto (an indoor soundproof phone booth at my coworking space) to quickly explain.
Today on the show, we have Becka Crowe!
Becka is the blogger behind the holistic lifestyle blog Going Grainless & she is the co-host and producer of the Vibe Tribe Wellness podcast
Her and I share a similar story in our career paths– namely, being let go from “dream jobs” and finding the silver lining in moving on from them to find what we were REALLY here to do.
Becka has a passion for real food, holistic health, personal growth, non-toxic beauty, developing grain free recipes and so much in between.
What started as a food sensitivity inspired Becka to create her 100% gluten and grain free recipe account. A true testament that sharing what you are PASSIONATE ABOUT can lead to incredible businesses– whether planned or unplanned!
No matter where you are in YOUR journey, I think Becka’s story is so relatable.
We chat about: what to do about the things that excite you, hosting 3 day business retreats for yourself, the power of self talk and affirmations, re-branding a business successfully, and SO MUCH MORE!
Enjoy!

Today on the podcast, I am chatting with Darielle Teitelbaum.
Darielle is a corporate lawyer (& a spiritual one - which we chat lots about!), and she’s the founder of Awe Legal which stands for Athletes, Wellness Professionals and Entrepreneurs. Awe Legal is awhich is a boutique law firm based in Toronto & online.
I loved this conversation with Darielle. Her and I met less than 1 year ago through the gym that we both teach indoor cycling at here in Toronto and I’ve been in AWE (sorry bad pun) of her business since meeting.
We chat about her career evolution from working TIRELESSLY at a criminal defense firm, to her travels where she was enlightened about spiritual law, and also about things every influencers or ambassador should consider before signing with a brand.
I love how Darielle is challenging the traditional paradigm of what we expect in a lawyer and is instead paving her own visionary path using her skills and infusing her passion for wellness. She’s so approachable, knowledgeable and I know you’ll learn so much from her.

Today on the show we have Mariah Craig from @socialbynature_ ⠀⠀⠀Mariah and I have known each other since our days working at Vega and since then-- we’ve remained good friends and supported each others entrepreneurial journeys through the highs, the lows and the in-betweens (and there have been MANY for both of us!).⠀⠀⠀Both of us had struggles with our previous jobs. Dabbled in many business ventures. And have ultimately found our true calling through much experimentation.⠀⠀⠀I love that Mariah is so multi-talented and multi-skilled. She’s worked in SO many different roles and in-turn has a wealth of skills that she now applies to her business, Social by Nature (a digital consulting company for health and wellness brands). A true testament that no job is a waste of time. And there’s always something to be learned.⠀⠀⠀⠀On this episode we cover so much on Mariah’s Visionary Life.⠀⠀
- Finding plant-based eating⠀
- Living with Lyme disease⠀
- Opening & closing a catering business, Murr's Menu⠀
- & launching Social By Nature, a company that specializes in social media content and strategies for Health & Wellness businesses⠀
I finished the book called Tribe of Mentors by Tim Ferris.
It’s short life advice from the best minds in the world. This is totally my kinda book.
As someone who is not a big reader (though I love audio books + podcasts) I tend to gravitate towards books that I can read back to front (does anyone else do this). Flipping through, dog earring pages, highlighting things that jump out at me.
If I need to be inspired, books like Tribe of Mentors are my go to.
So first off-- why do I find so much value in books that share what successful people do?
- Because we can learn so much from their habits & in common themes
-
It’s like free mentorship-- and we ALL need mentors in our life (but they don’t need to cost you 1000s of dollars)
- I have many business and personal mentors in my life that I actually talk to regularly-- many of them within my doTERRA business who have coached me. But you can never have too much inspiration flying around, so books like this are GREAT if you are searching for a mentor
- Because you become who you surround yourself with-- and if your current circle is not headed in the same direction as you, that’s ok! You’ve got podcasts and YouTube and books to support! I feel lucky that I have a strong circle of entrepreneurial and drive minds to surround me each day, but I still look to outside sources to stay fresh and inspired
