Speaker A:

Hey, welcome back to another episode of the Warrior Spirit, the show where the inner warriors shine in their light.

Speaker A:

Presented by Praxis33, the company that aligns your thoughts, goals, and actions to create your best life.

Speaker A:

I'm your host, Darrell Snow.

Speaker A:

Have you ever noticed how many successful entrepreneurs look exhausted in person?

Speaker A:

Or how quickly burnout follows the hustle?

Speaker A:

SAS isn't just about business, Matrix.

Speaker A:

It's about building a life that energizes you and not displeats you.

Speaker A:

Today, I'm joined with Andrea Jannetti.

Speaker A:

And with a unique blend of corporate expertise and a passion for wellness, Andrea guides individuals on a transform or transformative journey to optimal health and fulfillment, empowering them to rewrite their health story.

Speaker A:

Andrea, I appreciate you joining me today, and thank you for your time.

Speaker B:

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker B:

I'm super excited to be here.

Speaker B:

Thanks for having me.

Speaker A:

So you did a lot of corporate gig work in the past.

Speaker A:

Where did you get your start?

Speaker B:

Oh, man, I've lived seven lives, I feel like.

Speaker B:

And I'm only 36.

Speaker B:

Let's see, my first corporate job was once I finished grad school.

Speaker B:

I actually worked for Apple out of their headquarters in Austin, Texas.

Speaker B:

So that was kind of my first, like, dipping my toe into, like, the tech industry and kind of trying to make my way in that field.

Speaker A:

So where did you actually grow up?

Speaker B:

In San Francisco.

Speaker B:

California is where I was born.

Speaker B:

And then I was.

Speaker B:

I went to school on the East Bay side of the Bay Area, and then I went to school at the University of Colorado, and then I did grad school at Boston University.

Speaker A:

Oh, so you've been all over this country?

Speaker B:

Literally all over.

Speaker A:

Where.

Speaker A:

Where did you.

Speaker A:

Where do you like the most?

Speaker B:

Yeah, I've lived seven lives, like I said.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I.

Speaker A:

I can feel that.

Speaker A:

I used to.

Speaker A:

When I was younger, a little younger than you are now, I used to just throw a dart at a map every couple years, and wherever it landed is where I went.

Speaker B:

So I love that.

Speaker A:

Which coast do you like better?

Speaker A:

Which coast do you like better?

Speaker B:

I'm definitely a West Coast.

Speaker B:

I mean, that just feels like home.

Speaker B:

When I go there, I feel oriented on, like, my internal compass can understand the ocean being on one side of me or the other, but I have recently fallen in love with 30A in Florida.

Speaker B:

And I just remember the first time I went to the beach, I was like, wait, the water's on this side.

Speaker B:

Okay, I can do this.

Speaker B:

And then when I've gone to the actual east coast and faced, like, the Atlantic, I'm so disoriented.

Speaker B:

I'm like, why is the ocean on this side of me?

Speaker B:

Like, it doesn't feel.

Speaker B:

It, like, feels so wrong.

Speaker B:

Like it feels wrong.

Speaker A:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

Isn't that funny how we get associated with one side or the other?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Growing up in San Francisco, I don't know a lot of people who grew up in that part of California.

Speaker A:

What was it like being a big city girl?

Speaker B:

I think I had like the perfect blend of city life and then suburbia.

Speaker B:

So my dad lived in San Francisco and my mom lived across the Bay Bridge.

Speaker B:

So I, you know, every other weekend I was in the big city, my dad would take me to shows and, you know, off Broadway shows.

Speaker B:

And he really taught me like the culture side of living in a big city.

Speaker B:

And then on the, the other, you know, on the other side of the Bay Bridge, I lived with my mom in suburbia.

Speaker B:

And it was like, you know, there was a Tiffany's downtown and like Neiman Marcus was put in and it was very much like traditional, like suburbia tree lined streets and we walked to school and all of that kind of stuff.

Speaker B:

So I feel like I kind of got a blend of both worlds.

Speaker B:

And I love that part about me because I'm not afraid to go to cities.

Speaker B:

But I also love like the slower pace of suburbia life and just like more urban or suburban and like rural areas.

Speaker A:

I love that it's not usually common for a city girl or guy to then go to the country or the country person to then often go to the big city.

Speaker A:

What brought you out to Colorado then?

Speaker B:

I wanted the Division 1 football school experience.

Speaker B:

Um, so that was a big draw for me.

Speaker B:

I wanted to be as far away from home as I could.

Speaker B:

And my orientation of like, where far was like, I really didn't have any connections to like the SEC schools and really didn't know a lot about that.

Speaker B:

So really Colorado was like the farthest in my head that it made sense to go.

Speaker B:

And then, you know, after you leave, you're like, oh, there's like Texas, which I ended up getting to eventually, and stuff like that.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker B:

So I feel like my map of the United States grew.

Speaker B:

Like California is like the center of the universe.

Speaker B:

When you live there and grow up there, there is nothing outside of that.

Speaker B:

So, like, Colorado is kind of like this.

Speaker B:

I think there's like a statistic.

Speaker B:

It's like the University of Colorado, like the most students from out of state come from California.

Speaker B:

So it's a, it is a school that's like very known for being like, if you want to leave California, you go there.

Speaker B:

So that was like the big draw was like, okay, it has a Division 1 football school.

Speaker B:

It feels big, like all the big universities in California.

Speaker B:

And I just wanted that experience.

Speaker A:

And were you at Colorado U with the.

Speaker A:

In Boulder?

Speaker B:

Yes, in Boulder.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

That's such a beautiful area.

Speaker A:

When I was doing my travels around the United States, even the rest stops in Colorado are gorgeous.

Speaker A:

It's just hard to believe.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So when you finally got your world map and your orientation, what did you actually go to college for?

Speaker B:

Communication.

Speaker B:

So I had this thought in my mind that I was going to go to school for sports medicine.

Speaker B:

So in high school, I was like really big into sports medicine.

Speaker B:

I assisted the athletic trainers and all of that.

Speaker B:

And then I got to school and I was like, well, you know, that's a lot of like school that you have to do.

Speaker B:

And I had a lot more fun just chit chatting in class with people.

Speaker B:

So communication made a lot more sense for me.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you do what you're good at, right?

Speaker B:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker A:

You said you wanted to move as far away from home.

Speaker A:

And I think that's.

Speaker A:

There's two type of kids.

Speaker A:

There's those of us like you and I who just want to get away.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

No matter where.

Speaker A:

Where that is.

Speaker A:

And then there's those that just want to stay home for whatever reason.

Speaker A:

That is what made you want to be the kid that just got away.

Speaker B:

I think like my dynamic of like my childhood, it just was something that I wanted to get as far away from my home life as I could.

Speaker B:

It just.

Speaker B:

I wanted to make a mark for myself in this world and I wasn't going to be able to do that staying at home.

Speaker B:

At least that was my internal dialogue of I'm not going to be able to do this if I stay here.

Speaker B:

And I could just create my own identity of who I was.

Speaker B:

And that was like one of the biggest selling features was just like, well, this isn't.

Speaker B:

No one's going to know you here.

Speaker B:

You can just reinvent yourself.

Speaker B:

You can be who you want to be.

Speaker B:

You can be your real self.

Speaker B:

And so that's kind of what drew me out there.

Speaker A:

It's interesting.

Speaker A:

You're in a creative field.

Speaker A:

You do a lot of creative things and one of the things you wanted to recreate was yourself.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's an interesting dynamic.

Speaker A:

As a psychology major, I start getting into the mental aspect, so that's kind of interesting.

Speaker A:

What got you into the corporate part of it?

Speaker A:

Because Colorado, running from the family to reinvent Yourself.

Speaker A:

That doesn't really scream, let's go corporate.

Speaker B:

s, early:

Speaker B:

There was never a thought in my mind that there was something outside of joining a large company and climbing the ladder and, and shooting for that C suite job.

Speaker B:

That was like my roadmap for.

Speaker B:

And I wanted to make that happen on my own and not have to leverage my family, not have to leverage people in my hometown.

Speaker B:

I wanted to do that on my own.

Speaker B:

So that's what drew me into going down the corporate route.

Speaker B:

graduated in my undergrad in:

Speaker B:

The Bay Area was still not really hiring as much with Silicon Valley kind of going through its constriction.

Speaker B:

So I was like, well, I'll just go back to grad school at this point.

Speaker B:

And I ended up graduating from grad school at the age of like, 23.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I think 23.

Speaker B:

Not 24, but 23.

Speaker B:

So I was really young with a master's degree.

Speaker B:

And then I just started applying for places and ended up landing a job at Apple in Austin, Texas.

Speaker A:

You mentioned a couple times wanting to do it on your own and define yourself.

Speaker A:

Do you have siblings?

Speaker B:

I do.

Speaker B:

I have two younger brothers.

Speaker A:

So what was your cause for wanting to be this independent, gotta do it on my own type of person?

Speaker A:

Because again, that's not a internal thing that many strive for.

Speaker A:

Yeah, they should, but they don't.

Speaker B:

I think.

Speaker B:

I, like, I grew up really fast when I was younger, so I just.

Speaker B:

With my family dynamic, my parents were divorced, my mom worked full time.

Speaker B:

So oftentimes I would come home from school and I was home alone and had to parent myself.

Speaker B:

You know, that's not to say anything negative about her.

Speaker B:

She just, she wasn't home and able to do the parenting.

Speaker B:

So a lot of times it was me having to take care of myself, take care of my brother.

Speaker B:

So I took on kind of that, like, mother nurturing behavior, like, really young.

Speaker B:

And so I was just very independent.

Speaker B:

And so I never thought that there was another path forward.

Speaker B:

It was, you're going to do this because that is what life has handed you.

Speaker B:

And so it never crossed my mind that there was another option to lean on someone else, to not make it on your own.

Speaker B:

That was just like, never even crossed my mind.

Speaker A:

The fact that you did make it on your own that you did graduate with your master's so young at a time when Even in the 90s, women weren't fully appreciated or accepted in the corporate world.

Speaker A:

You were young, you were pretty, you were smart, you were independent.

Speaker A:

Did that cause a lot of issues?

Speaker A:

Because some people would look at that and say, oh, she's young, she's beautiful, she is smart, she's funny, she has all these things handed to her.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker A:

It doesn't seem like the case for you, was it?

Speaker B:

Oh, absolutely not.

Speaker B:

So I was in a sorority in college, and so that was typically the first question that was asked of me in my interviews, which I found so highly inappropriate.

Speaker B:

It was, you know, oh, you're pretty.

Speaker B:

I bet you had so much fun at the fraternity parties.

Speaker B:

And I'm sitting there in an interview like, excuse me, what little did they know?

Speaker B:

Like, I didn't drink until I was 21.

Speaker B:

So I mean, like, I was not the stereotypical, like, being crazy person in college or after, honestly.

Speaker B:

So I.

Speaker B:

It was very interesting.

Speaker B:

And so a lot of my, the jobs that I landed, I learned that networking was the best path forward.

Speaker B:

I was not going to land a job just with my resume and talking to someone in person at an interview.

Speaker B:

If I was able to get that interview, it was networking, having people vouch for me that I was of quality, someone that they could depend on, a go getter.

Speaker B:

Whatever it was, whatever I needed to fill, I was going to do that.

Speaker B:

And that was how I got my first job at Apple, was through networking with the community that I was in.

Speaker B:

I had found the CrossFit community pretty early in the CrossFit days.

Speaker B:

And it was through connections that I'd made in the gym that allowed me to find someone that worked at Apple.

Speaker B:

And eventually they helped me when there was an opening in their, their department.

Speaker A:

So, yeah, can you imagine sitting in an interview today, graduating from C.

Speaker A:

Oh, my gosh.

Speaker A:

When.

Speaker A:

With Colorado being as wild and legal as it is now.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I mean, it just, it was just so crazy when people would say that.

Speaker B:

And that was with my undergrad degree.

Speaker B:

So then I went and got my master's and then it was suddenly, oh, that's cute that you have your master's degree but you have no work experience.

Speaker B:

It's like, okay, well, I can't win this game because you wouldn't hire me before because I was too pretty.

Speaker B:

I was whatever you wanted me to or you believed I was.

Speaker B:

So I went to grad school to shore up that resume.

Speaker B:

And then now it's I don't have work experience, so.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

And I love that, you know, I can't get work experience unless I work and you won't give me work experience because I don't have work.

Speaker A:

It's like, well, what do you want me to do?

Speaker A:

Yeah, sit like and do nothing?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

What took you from Apple into your next endeavor?

Speaker B:

I moved out of Texas.

Speaker B:

I moved to Phoenix actually.

Speaker B:

So that's what kind of took me down the different tracks.

Speaker B:

I went and worked in the fitness industry.

Speaker B:

So my, you know, my love and passion, like I said, I wanted to go into sports medicine if I wasn't going to do that.

Speaker B:

I loved wellness.

Speaker B:

I love nutrition.

Speaker B:

I loved being fit myself.

Speaker B:

I was an athlete my whole life.

Speaker B:

Probably explains my competitive driven nature.

Speaker B:

So I left Apple, moved to Phoenix and got a job in the fitness industry out here.

Speaker B:

Led marketing teams, ended up in an operations role for the fitness industry.

Speaker B:

And then after about what, three or four years at that company, I actually was approached by.

Speaker B:

By Homie, where we used to work, where we met.

Speaker B:

And they were at their seed round at the time, so they hadn't achieved their Series A yet.

Speaker B:

So it was very early on in the company.

Speaker B:

They were thinking about expanding to Arizona.

Speaker B:

Hadn't quite done it yet.

Speaker B:

And so I was approached to kind of be like the first in market to build out this area here.

Speaker B:

And it just seemed like a really fun challenge.

Speaker B:

I loved real estate.

Speaker B:

My dad was a GC my whole life.

Speaker B:

So like, real estate was something that just kind of was always interesting to me.

Speaker B:

I loved watching like HGTV and just like all the things.

Speaker B:

That's actually why I moved to Austin.

Speaker B:

I watched some silly episode of House Hunters and I was like, round Rock, Texas looks amazing.

Speaker B:

And I ended up moving there.

Speaker A:

That's how we felt about Waco.

Speaker A:

We're like, oh, Waco looks really cool for the, you know, for, for Magnolia Farms.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B:

Oh, totally.

Speaker B:

I was like, oh, I could be chipping Joanna Gaines.

Speaker B:

I need it.

Speaker B:

Come.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So I left the fitness industry, went back into the corporate space and did some fun things with.

Speaker B:

With Homie.

Speaker B:

And then that kind of just kept my trajectory going back in the corporate world.

Speaker A:

I'm going to show you a few things and we'll talk about them as we go.

Speaker A:

Okay, Let me bring you on because you are, you are diverse and I will give you diverse.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And it's one of the things I love about you.

Speaker A:

You're not afraid to try new things.

Speaker A:

So currently you're doing luxury real estate.

Speaker B:

I am, yeah.

Speaker A:

So what made you actually get your.

Speaker A:

Especially working with homie, what made you actually get your real estate license?

Speaker B:

Yeah, so when I was still living in California, this was after I had graduated from undergrad.

Speaker B:

I did get.

Speaker B:

Well, I had studied for my real estate license out there.

Speaker B:

And then life, you know, you end up ending relationships with your college boyfriend and life was just like, okay, this isn't really what we're going to have you go down right now.

Speaker B:

And God shifted my, my life and I ended up moving to Texas.

Speaker B:

And so I never actually sat for my real estate license in California.

Speaker B:

So it was this thing that was kind of just like always dangling over me of like, I never actually became an agent.

Speaker B:

It was something I wanted to do and I never did it.

Speaker B:

And then when I worked for homie, it was, oh yeah, we'll have you do it when your team goes and gets their real estate license.

Speaker B:

Well, that ended up not happening because someone had to keep working.

Speaker B:

And I was the team lead for Arizona, so I ended up having to shoulder the team while they were at school.

Speaker B:

And then the ball just keeps rolling and I never got the opportunity to go.

Speaker B:

And so it was just one of those things where I finally left the corporate world.

Speaker B:

I guess last May just was like very done with climbing the ladder.

Speaker B:

There were a lot of signs and things that kind of kept manifesting for me and I just knew that God was telling me like, hey, this, this corporate ladder game that you keep playing is not, it's not fulfilling for you.

Speaker B:

You are chasing something that is never going to fill a void for you.

Speaker B:

So I left the workplace like the.

Speaker B:

Left the workforce and kind of sat and just like prayed for like six months, just like, okay, what am I gonna do?

Speaker B:

What is the next thing?

Speaker B:

Started helping my husband with his company, getting it really structured and organized and just leveraging the skill set that I had to help him.

Speaker B:

And in that time, we kind of started toying with like, well, maybe you should just get into real estate because it can be as full time as you want it to be.

Speaker B:

It can be as part time as you want it to be to be successful.

Speaker B:

Obviously you need to treat it as a full time job, but like, it's yours to kind of make it what you want.

Speaker B:

And so literally I think it was December, probably the last week of December, and I was like, yeah, I'm going to sign up for the class that starts next week.

Speaker B:

And then I just, I just did it.

Speaker B:

So that's kind of my MO is if I just decide to do something, I Just.

Speaker B:

I just do it.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Other than my securities license, the real estate license was the second hardest certification or license that I had to get.

Speaker A:

So kudos to you for getting that.

Speaker A:

And then you also have fitness and modeling.

Speaker A:

And I love this picture of you because you're doing this heavy squat in high heel.

Speaker B:

Oh, my gosh.

Speaker B:

Okay, so that is hilarious.

Speaker B:

That photo.

Speaker B:

I was coming from work, from Apple, so this was in Austin.

Speaker B:

And I don't even remember why I decided to do this, but it was funny because I.

Speaker B:

I think I, like, forgot my weightlift shoes or something.

Speaker B:

Like, there was some premise as to why I was wearing basically platform lifters.

Speaker B:

And I know it looks like it's a lot of weight, but I am not actually lifting a lot of weight.

Speaker B:

Those are practice weights, so I think they weigh like maybe five pounds each on each side.

Speaker B:

So they're, like, meant for when you're, like, learning positioning in Olympic lifting so that you're off the ground the same height that you would be if you were, you know, using regular plates.

Speaker B:

So it's for, like, positioning and just, like, having some tension on you, but it's actually not.

Speaker B:

I'm not actually lifting a lot of weight.

Speaker B:

I would not do that with high heels.

Speaker B:

I'm not.

Speaker B:

I don't have a.

Speaker A:

Should have let the illusion still go there.

Speaker B:

I know, but I feel like that's.

Speaker A:

Probably the picture that got you your husband, right?

Speaker B:

Say again?

Speaker A:

That's probably the picture that got you your husband, right?

Speaker A:

She can do the high heels.

Speaker B:

Yeah, probably.

Speaker B:

I probably sent that to him.

Speaker B:

I was like, hey, what do you think?

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker A:

And then after that, you.

Speaker A:

You go into this one where you're again, into wellness and explain what Terianna is.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So, like, when I left the corporate world in May last year, I obviously had, like, a lot of time to just, like, sit and figure out, like, what brought me joy, what fulfilled me, and obviously going back to, like, the foundations and basics of myself.

Speaker B:

It was wellness, nutrition.

Speaker B:

Those things are like my bread and butter.

Speaker B:

Like, I can talk about them all day long.

Speaker B:

I love seeing people achieve their goals, whether it's, you know, kicking a chronic disease or it's dealing with inflammation in their body, whatever.

Speaker B:

So I built this.

Speaker B:

This company, if you will.

Speaker B:

And it's been really fun to just help women that are dealing with just different health issues spanning the gamut.

Speaker B:

You know, I have clients that are in their 20s, I have clients that are in their 60s.

Speaker B:

So they all are very different and have different needs.

Speaker B:

But it's Been really fun to build that.

Speaker B:

And it's something that I can do with the time that I have and help my husband with his business and do real estate, you know, so I'm busy.

Speaker A:

You are busy.

Speaker A:

And speaking of your husband, you also have then these.

Speaker A:

This is Dax and Gray Motorsports.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So we're really excited.

Speaker B:

We are kicking off our next season right now.

Speaker B:

We've got a driver out of Florida for our Lamborghini Super Truffeo series.

Speaker B:

And it's really my husband's like, passion project.

Speaker B:

Kind of like Tarena is my passion project.

Speaker B:

This is his passion project.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker B:

And I obviously supported.

Speaker B:

It's super fun to go and travel and be at the track, but don't ask me to name any part on a car.

Speaker B:

I will probably get it wrong.

Speaker B:

And he just rolls his eyes at me because he's like, I've told you this a thousand times.

Speaker B:

I'm like, yeah, I don't care, but I love it.

Speaker B:

It's really fun.

Speaker B:

But yeah, so we, we've been a part of SRO in the past.

Speaker B:

We are now a part of imsa.

Speaker B:

And IMSA is owned by nascar.

Speaker B:

So the cars are typically like, well, there's, I guess there's different series within imsa, but the series we're in is.

Speaker B:

Lamborghini is the main manufacturer.

Speaker B:

So all the cars that are on the track look the same.

Speaker B:

They might have a different wrap for different sponsors and stuff like that, but it's like seeing a NASCAR race where all the cars look the same.

Speaker B:

They just have different wraps on them.

Speaker B:

So it's a single make series.

Speaker B:

And then we've done.

Speaker B:

Yeah, we've done that.

Speaker B:

We've done.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I think that's about it.

Speaker B:

I don't think we've done Porsche Carer Cup.

Speaker B:

We had a client that was talking about doing that, but we've not actually done that.

Speaker A:

What's nice about all that though, is that you guys support each other in your own passions.

Speaker A:

He supports you in your passion and your purpose, and you support him and yours, and that's what makes for a beautiful marriage.

Speaker A:

How did you guys meet?

Speaker B:

We met through CrossFit.

Speaker B:

So he was a head judge in the age group pavilion in Madison, Wisconsin, and I was in charge of all of the athletes.

Speaker B:

for the CrossFit Games since:

Speaker B:

So it wasn't like a full time, every single day, nine to five type thing.

Speaker B:

But when competition season would come, I would be working as a contractor while working full Time and then I would take off time to go to the actual world championships.

Speaker B:

And so this was at the world championships and we met that weekend, but we didn't really talk.

Speaker B:

He'll tell you that he came up to see, like, my name on my name tag during, while I was setting up for the award ceremony.

Speaker B:

And apparently I told him to buzz off.

Speaker B:

I do not remember that.

Speaker B:

I was clearly focused on the job and task at hand.

Speaker B:

But we.

Speaker B:

I saw him during the whole weekend, but I obviously just kept it very professional and so did he.

Speaker B:

And then after the weekend, we started talking and literally had.

Speaker B:

Haven't stopped talking since, obviously.

Speaker A:

So I love that.

Speaker A:

I love that especially.

Speaker A:

My wife and I have been together 10 years and what's nice is, you know, we met online, but I was getting my master's and she was working full time and I had just moved into an apartment to.

Speaker A:

And all I wanted to do was update my address because I was going to school full time, working full time, had no time for a relationship.

Speaker A:

And I came across her picture and she was in Boston jumping over a wave, wearing a pair of those heels that you were lifting the weights in.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

And she had them over her head.

Speaker A:

And I'm like, she looks really cute and happy.

Speaker A:

I just need to say hello.

Speaker A:

And so the way I tell the story and the way she tells, it's a little different.

Speaker A:

But I say that I reached out to say hi and she said, I don't text if you want to talk.

Speaker A:

We have to meet in person.

Speaker B:

Oh, I like that.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I'm like, oh, okay.

Speaker A:

Spunky.

Speaker A:

Okay, well, I don't have time, but I'm going to make time for her because she's spunky.

Speaker A:

And so we were supposed to have a 30 minute meet and greet turned into a five hour conversation.

Speaker A:

And we've been together every day since, so.

Speaker B:

Oh, I love that.

Speaker B:

That's awesome.

Speaker A:

It was a great thing.

Speaker A:

And I look, I look at you and your husband and I'm like, yeah, they're gonna make it because they got that same dynamic.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Now, so were you guys long distance or not?

Speaker A:

No, she.

Speaker A:

The picture was just of her in Boston.

Speaker A:

She was here in Phoenix and I was here in Phoenix.

Speaker A:

And so we got together like the next day or two days later and she, you know, she was tired coming from work, wasn't even gonna go.

Speaker A:

Her girlfriend said, oh, you're only in and out in 30 minutes anyway, just go.

Speaker A:

And yeah, thankfully she did.

Speaker A:

And we've been together, you know, 10 years, so it was great.

Speaker B:

But you met eight years ago, so.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

And I, and I love, I love that you guys support each other in all that.

Speaker A:

And as a, you know, someone that has a passion for wellness like you do, how do you actually help these people on their transformative journey and how do you actually empower them to rewrite their health?

Speaker A:

And that's basically what we're doing when we're getting healthy, we're rewriting our health.

Speaker A:

So how do you go about that?

Speaker B:

Typically we start with like goals, like why are we even having this conversation?

Speaker B:

What is it that you are either dissatisfied with or wanting?

Speaker B:

And it's, it's shifting the mindset to, instead of losing weight, I say it's like gaining your freedom.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Like, I think when we have things framed in the negative, a lot of times that can be, well, it's negative.

Speaker B:

So our mind is typically in a negative mindset.

Speaker B:

And so I always start with goals and then everything that I do is individualized to the person.

Speaker B:

So I'm always looking at like, where's their sleep at currently, how do they eat, what is their lifestyle like, do they walk?

Speaker B:

Do they not walk?

Speaker B:

Do they have good circadian rhythms?

Speaker B:

I'm looking at that, sleep patterns, I'm looking at what's their work life balance situation, do they have balance in any capacity?

Speaker B:

Are they wanting that?

Speaker B:

What's the goal basically?

Speaker B:

And then from there it's creating a plan and having very structured check ins with people.

Speaker B:

Because a lot of times there are people like myself where you set a goal or I can set a goal if you give me the plan.

Speaker B:

I'm very autonomous.

Speaker B:

I don't necessarily need you to check in with me.

Speaker B:

I'm probably going to follow it to a T.

Speaker B:

But there are people that, that is not the case.

Speaker B:

And so it's like being able to understand the person, who they are and how they best respond.

Speaker B:

Do they like text check ins?

Speaker B:

Do they want to do a more like FaceTime kind of conversation?

Speaker B:

Like how do they best respond and what is the best way to support them?

Speaker B:

So everything that I do is very individualized.

Speaker B:

I don't like creating like here's your six week templated plan to your bikini body and stuff like that.

Speaker B:

Like, I just don't think that it's realistic for most people and depending on where you're starting, six weeks is probably not realistic anyways.

Speaker B:

So I'm not a big fan of templated things.

Speaker B:

I think it can work in some instances, but for the most part I like tailoring things and then it's Breaking their lifestyle down to the basics.

Speaker B:

And we always start there.

Speaker B:

So it's water, sleep, rising with the sun, sleeping with the moon and getting blood flow every single day.

Speaker B:

And then we start getting into the nitty gritty and granular stuff.

Speaker A:

And when we introduced the interview today, we talked about how a lot of entrepreneurs look tired or that the burnout is soon after the hustle and the grind.

Speaker A:

What do you attribute some of that to as an entrepreneur yourself and working with others who experience that?

Speaker B:

Yeah, I mean, I think that was one of the biggest reasons I left the workplace in May, was I was so unfulfilled, but I was following the directions of everyone else around me.

Speaker B:

It was their time that I had to be at work.

Speaker B:

It was their time that I had to leave work.

Speaker B:

It was their time when I could take a lunch break if I could go outside for a couple minutes.

Speaker B:

And coming from a health and wellness background, I was such a stickler to certain things and always being on calls with blue light blocking glasses and just doing everything I could.

Speaker B:

I have a stand up desk, you know, treadmill for underneath the desk if I couldn't get outside and.

Speaker B:

But I also knew that my health was starting to diminish and my light inside was diminishing.

Speaker B:

That, that tired that you're talking about and I can't solve it for everyone, especially if they are working for someone else.

Speaker B:

A lot of times that's just the nature of working for someone else.

Speaker B:

But if, if you can minimize it to the best of your abilities by doing a lot of the things like going to bed at a decent time, removing the blue light from your life, you know, starting at about 7 o'clock in the evening, you know, you can reduce the tired.

Speaker B:

If you're working a job that's not fulfilling to you, you're always going to be tired.

Speaker B:

So I typically try and figure out with people for them to come to that conclusion of like, is this job that you're working giving you life and light and abundance or is it draining you every single day?

Speaker B:

And if it is, what could you be doing that's different, that can still provide for your family, for yourself, whatever the case may be.

Speaker B:

Because a lot of times we can unlock health by, by getting rid of and removing things in our life that are like weighing us down, the luggage that we're lugging with us.

Speaker A:

Do you think that it's possible to build a life that energizes you and not deplete you if you're not an entrepreneur?

Speaker A:

Or do you think you have to work for yourself in order to really be energized by life.

Speaker B:

I think there's an answer for everybody there.

Speaker B:

So for me, working for someone else is draining.

Speaker B:

But that's my personality and my characteristics and everything.

Speaker B:

There are some people that absolutely love being told what to do.

Speaker B:

And I like.

Speaker B:

Like my brother.

Speaker B:

So my brother struggled growing up all the time.

Speaker B:

And it wasn't until he went into the military where they tell him what time to wake up, what time he can go to the bathroom, what time he can go to sleep, what time he can sneeze.

Speaker B:

Like, everything, right?

Speaker B:

Like you go to boot camp, you're not doing anything that they're not telling you that you're doing.

Speaker B:

And he thrives.

Speaker B:

So now he's active duty in the Navy and is thriving, and he is working for someone.

Speaker B:

There is.

Speaker B:

There are, you know, 10 people probably above him, all telling him what to do.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

And he keeps getting early promotions, and he is doing so well.

Speaker B:

So it is so dependent on the person and who they are.

Speaker B:

Now, if we're talking about a corporate space, I would say, does your job give you life?

Speaker B:

Do you love the mission that your company is striving for?

Speaker B:

All those things can be fulfilling and you can work for someone.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

I think there was a time in my life when working for someone was fine because I didn't really know any different and I needed to learn certain skills and I didn't have confidence to do it on my own.

Speaker B:

But as I grew, I learned confidence, I learned who I was and I learned how I work best.

Speaker B:

And ultimately that was pushing me more and more towards entrepreneurship.

Speaker A:

My wife and I joke because she worked 30 years for Tech Data.

Speaker A:

Yeah, one company.

Speaker A:

And I had 30 jobs in that same time frame.

Speaker A:

So, yeah, I've.

Speaker A:

I've owned three businesses, I've built other businesses, and I've gone back in and out of the corporate space.

Speaker A:

And yeah, I seem to only be able to last about a year and a half to two years before the corporate world absolutely drains me because I don't like the politics, I don't like the injustice.

Speaker A:

I don't like that the people on the floor aren't being traded fairly.

Speaker A:

I don't like that they won't speak up for themselves because I'm very opinionated figure.

Speaker A:

And so, you know, I just get burned out by the game.

Speaker A:

And then also I have this low tolerance for not being a high achiever.

Speaker A:

And when you have reached your pinnacle and can't go any further, it's not a challenge for me.

Speaker A:

Anymore and then it's not fun.

Speaker A:

So I'm one of the people like you that would rather be entrepreneurial on my own.

Speaker A:

But corporate world for her worked out great because 30 years, one company, she did great.

Speaker A:

Now she was a rule breaker and saw the HR department occasionally.

Speaker A:

But you know, but still I think it does depend and you can build a life either way.

Speaker A:

I don't think it has to be one blanket, but the health part of it has to be one blanket, not cookie cutter.

Speaker A:

But you, there are certain things that you name that that have to happen for you to be healthy.

Speaker A:

So when someone comes to you and they're depleted and they say, Andrea, I just, I know I need to drink water and I know I need to sleep and I know I need to get off the computer.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but what can I do for myself?

Speaker A:

Like how do you guide these people beyond those minute basics that are foundational?

Speaker B:

I mean, I still stick with the basics.

Speaker B:

So ultimately, why are you coming to me if you know all those things, why are you still seeking help?

Speaker B:

And it's probably because you're not able to do it on your own or you think you know, but you're not confident in making those steps forward.

Speaker B:

And so we're going to just do one thing.

Speaker B:

I'm not going to say, hey, we're doing macros and you're also going to start a five day a week program at the gym and you're going to be waking up at 5:00 in the morning and you're not watching TV tonight.

Speaker B:

You know, like, I don't do that because that's overwhelming.

Speaker B:

There are, of course there are people like me where if you told me that I do it all the next day because you said that's what's going to get me to my goal, I will do it.

Speaker B:

But that isn't everybody and you.

Speaker B:

So it, it comes down to that kind of evaluation period of like getting to know them, who are they, why are they here, why are they talking with me specifically and why are they seeking help?

Speaker B:

And I oftentimes will ask them like, when was the last time you committed to something?

Speaker B:

How did it go?

Speaker B:

It's like digging into when do they typically fall off of a program and that can tell you a lot about the person.

Speaker B:

Is it.

Speaker B:

They do great until Susie invites them to a birthday party and then they don't know what to do.

Speaker B:

And so it's okay.

Speaker B:

Now we need to learn how to equip you with ways to handle social situations because maybe everyone told you how to Handle your work life.

Speaker B:

And you're like, I'm good Monday through Friday, but then I don't know what to do Saturday or Sunday for that matter.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

And so it's like they just maybe didn't have the right tools for those particular days or situations.

Speaker B:

And so it's just digging in individually with.

Speaker B:

With different people.

Speaker B:

Maybe it's that they have kids and they have mom guilt.

Speaker B:

That's a big one of like, well, I.

Speaker B:

I don't want to be away from my kids.

Speaker B:

I feel like I'm leaving them.

Speaker B:

And at the end of the day, it's getting them to recognize that when mom is happy, the kids are happy.

Speaker B:

And when they take care of themselves, they're going to be around for their kids a lot than they would if they didn't take care of themselves.

Speaker B:

And so it's the guilt part.

Speaker B:

I see a lot with a lot of my friends, and just like my age group in general, you have those that have figured it out and then those that really struggle with it.

Speaker A:

Part of our society is especially our interaction with.

Speaker A:

With others is built around food and drink.

Speaker A:

So it's like an alcoholic trying to feel like, included.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

They can't drink.

Speaker A:

Well, let's go do something.

Speaker A:

Well, what are we going to do?

Speaker A:

We're going to gather and socialize and drink.

Speaker A:

So it's kind of the same with, with the food issue or the health issue, you know, and the, the guilt.

Speaker A:

I think people beat themselves up way too much.

Speaker A:

They feel guilty that they're not doing it.

Speaker A:

They feel guilty that they know they should do it.

Speaker A:

They feel guilty that they don't have time to do it, or they feel guilty that they're taking away from somebody else while they're doing it.

Speaker A:

Like all these scenarios of guilt.

Speaker A:

If we can just get past the guilt and living an authentic life in the way you want to live it, that lights your soul on fire.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Like, I don't recommend this, but if your soul is lit on fire by sitting there eating a bag of Cheetos every day, all day, then that's the life you're choosing.

Speaker A:

But if you want to break that and it's not fulfilling you, then you got to do something different.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker A:

At the expense of something else.

Speaker A:

Because every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else.

Speaker A:

If you're saying yes to the Cheetos, you're saying no to the weight loss.

Speaker A:

If you're saying no to the family time, you're saying yes to your time.

Speaker A:

Like, there's got to be a balance and a give and take.

Speaker A:

And most people I don't feel A, want to be that authentic, they want to lie to themselves and B, they don't really understand that guilt is a big part of what's holding them back.

Speaker A:

Guilt and shame.

Speaker B:

Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker B:

Guilt, shame for sure.

Speaker B:

And then they create the excuses around those things and they feel that their excuses are so insanely valid.

Speaker B:

But ultimately if you can peel back the layers on it, a lot of times they're self inflicted wounds that they're creating themselves.

Speaker B:

No one in their family said, mom, I don't want you to be gone at 6am to go to the gym.

Speaker B:

No one said that to them.

Speaker B:

They created that.

Speaker B:

They created the story in their head of this thing that's going to take place that hasn't taken place and probably won't.

Speaker B:

So it's, it's a lot of psychology goes into it as you know.

Speaker B:

So it's really just like being a sounding board for them to come to their own conclusions.

Speaker B:

I am not a psychologist.

Speaker B:

If I see that someone really needs that help, I obviously refer out.

Speaker B:

My goal is always to be more of a life coach for them, to be a mirror and reflection for them so that they can hopefully come to the conclusions themselves.

Speaker B:

So those are kind of the ways that I approach it.

Speaker A:

And I like that you know your limitations and you don't try to make it a one size fit all program.

Speaker A:

And you are definitely that unique blend of corporate and entrepreneurial.

Speaker A:

So you can understand both worlds, you can navigate both worlds.

Speaker A:

You understand the fitness side of it, you understand the wellness side of it, which I believe are two different things because very much yes I can.

Speaker A:

My body can be comfortable at 220 or 225, but all the charts say that I'm obese.

Speaker A:

Well, AM I if 90% of it's muscle?

Speaker A:

No, it's not in my case, but still.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

Well, BMI is such a bad indicator of health and wellness.

Speaker B:

So yeah, I throw that stuff out.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And I think most people should, they should throw their scale out and they should throw those charts out because it's not an indication of whether or not you're healthy or.

Speaker B:

Well, no, absolutely not.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And I think like concierge medicine, personalized medicine, these are the things that are the way of the future.

Speaker B:

Right now so many companies are starting to pop up.

Speaker B:

I partner with a company called Functional Health and like they are revolutionizing patients access to or just like anybody's access to their own blood work on demand and not having to Go through their doctor who has to write a script, who has to get permission, probably from some random person, to be able to hold the certain lab that you want and then figure out if it's covered by insurance or not and all the things that go with that.

Speaker B:

So I think being more personalized is definitely the way that Health Wellness is going.

Speaker B:

You see it with the health tech.

Speaker B:

You have oura rings and whoops and all the things right now where you can see your own personalized data and hopefully equip yourself with education to make actionable steps based on the data points that you're seeing.

Speaker A:

And I think it is very important to know your numbers.

Speaker A:

If my wife.

Speaker A:

My wife has been sick for 10 years, chronically ill, and she knows her numbers like the back of her hand.

Speaker A:

So she knows her body when things are out and when things are not right.

Speaker A:

And doctors only want to fit you in a box and write a prescription.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker A:

Even if your numbers are skewed on their chart, if they're right for you, know your body well enough and take interest enough in your own health and wellness to figure out what is right for you.

Speaker B:

For sure.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker B:

And I think it's.

Speaker B:

It's not doctor's fault.

Speaker B:

I know so many people that go into medicine with, like, the best of intentions.

Speaker B:

They want to help people.

Speaker B:

It's the landscape that they find themselves in that really puts them in a box.

Speaker B:

And they're not able to work outside of that box unless they go independent, build their own practice, accept cash over insurance, like all the things they are handcuffed.

Speaker B:

And I have a lot of friends that are just trying to make it through whatever period of time they've committed to so that they can go and do concierge medicine so that they can build their own practice because they are so handcuffed in there.

Speaker B:

And it's handcuffing us as patients because they're not able to address certain things.

Speaker B:

They have to refer to specialists, and the specialist is the only one that can talk to you about this thing, but this thing might be connected to another thing.

Speaker B:

And so now you have two different people that aren't talking to each other, trying to solve for something that neither of them knows the other exists.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

So, yeah, I feel like if you can empower yourself as a person and individual and know your body, you're going to be in a way better spot.

Speaker A:

We have been to many doctors because of her illness, and it's gotten to the point where you can only talk to them about one thing at a time you used to be able to go in and talk about what's going on, and now you have to make an appointment for every separate issue you want to talk to them about.

Speaker A:

So it gets.

Speaker A:

They get like five to nine minutes per patient and then have to buy insurance standards, go on to the next patient.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So they have to code it.

Speaker B:

Whatever you came in for that five to nine minutes about.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker B:

That's.

Speaker A:

It makes it very, very challenging.

Speaker A:

I love that you are so diverse.

Speaker A:

And one of the other things that.

Speaker A:

I'm going to switch gears here real quick, Don.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker A:

You were nice enough to.

Speaker A:

To come on my podcast, but you recently started your own podcast.

Speaker B:

I did, yeah.

Speaker A:

Call her.

Speaker B:

We did, yeah.

Speaker B:

So our podcast is called Call Her Wifey.

Speaker B:

It's a play on words with other famous podcast, and it's the complete opposite of that other podcast.

Speaker B:

So ours is Christian women chatting about all things girlhood, marriage, singleness.

Speaker B:

It's with my.

Speaker B:

One of my best friends who I actually met at Homey, and we connected actually out here at a.

Speaker B:

I don't know, Darrell, if you were at this event, there was a.

Speaker B:

We did some philanthropic activity down in, like, the Gilbert Chandler area, and we, like, filled boxes with foods to ship off to underserved areas across the world.

Speaker B:

And at the end of the event, the organization was a Christian organization, and they said if anybody wants to pray over the food before it gets shipped out, we're going to be doing that over here in this quarter.

Speaker B:

So myself, as a Christian, I walked over and Alexa started walking over.

Speaker B:

We, like, looked at each other.

Speaker B:

We're like, oh, wait, there's another Christian at this company.

Speaker B:

That's nice.

Speaker B:

So we prayed over the food, and then our friendship just kind of blossomed from there.

Speaker B:

So that was a really cool thing.

Speaker B:

And so we started this podcast in November.

Speaker B:

So I think we're at, like, episode 18 comes out tomorrow, Wednesday, on Wednesdays.

Speaker B:

And it's just been a lot of fun.

Speaker B:

We.

Speaker B:

We started it kind of with, like, a theme of how we're going to do it, but we're very much like, in a flow state right now of, like, figuring out what our audience likes, what stories are resonating with them, what topics are resonating with them, and just kind of like evolving it as we go.

Speaker B:

We hope to eventually do more video format.

Speaker B:

Right now we are living in two different states, so we do similar to what we're doing right here, recording over a laptop.

Speaker B:

But our dynamic definitely is more exciting when we're in person and we're just like feeding off of each other's energy.

Speaker B:

So we're trying to figure out how do we transition the podcast to being something that we can do in person, do YouTube videos with and just continue to grow it in, you know, an organic way and hope that we can serve people and just use it as a platform to spread the word of Jesus.

Speaker B:

And that's just like our thing and it's been really fun.

Speaker A:

And where can it be found?

Speaker B:

It's on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Speaker B:

Right now we are nowhere else that I am aware of.

Speaker B:

But eventually, hopefully we, we are gonna be, like I said, hopefully getting onto YouTube eventually with some fun video content.

Speaker B:

And then you can always follow us on Instagram.

Speaker B:

Caller Wifey.

Speaker A:

Well, I love that you do all that.

Speaker A:

So out of all the dynamics that that is, Andrea, what is your, what is your favorite?

Speaker A:

What are you like?

Speaker A:

I know you're diverse and all of them are fun, but what really lights you up?

Speaker B:

I mean, I can talk about wellness and nutrition forever and ever.

Speaker B:

It's definitely like my, my, like who I am and what I think about on a daily basis and how I live my life.

Speaker B:

So I feel like that is something that I absolutely love doing.

Speaker B:

Real estate has been so fun and it's been something that, like I said, I've wanted to do as an agent my whole life.

Speaker B:

And I genuinely love homes and the stories and I like people and I think that's why I love coaching is I like getting to know people.

Speaker B:

And so when you can build relationships in real estate, as you know, you can really get to know someone and why are they moving and what is that life chapter that they're entering into.

Speaker B:

And I think that, you know, the home is for most people, the largest purchase they're ever going to make.

Speaker B:

It's a very emotional decision for a lot of people.

Speaker B:

Very few people are making it very logically.

Speaker B:

And if they are, they're an investor, most likely.

Speaker B:

So it's very fun from that perspective.

Speaker B:

It can be very stressful.

Speaker B:

But I do love just like building relationships with people.

Speaker B:

So I would say, like, those are my two things that I do like every single day.

Speaker B:

And it just like, gives me a lot of joy.

Speaker A:

Well, you're very good at all of it.

Speaker A:

You're very good at the connection.

Speaker A:

You're very good at putting yourself out there.

Speaker A:

And one thing that I do appreciate about you, you're unabashedly, you, opinions sometimes in this PC world can be masked over and kind of squashed just to fit in, especially when you're in business, and you want to try to be, you know.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Pleasing everyone.

Speaker A:

So I'm just so grateful.

Speaker A:

You're unabashedly Christian.

Speaker A:

You follow with your heart, you lead with God, and then you do service for others.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So I.

Speaker A:

I appreciate that you're out there and shining your light that you can.

Speaker B:

So, yeah, it's like you said, it's not easy, especially if you have worked in the corporate world.

Speaker B:

You have to tiptoe.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker B:

And I'm not good at that.

Speaker B:

I mean, I can, but I am very opinionated, and I think that that's what serves me well.

Speaker B:

It gives me, like, I have that confidence to speak my mind.

Speaker B:

And so being an entrepreneur makes a lot more sense.

Speaker B:

If I'm not your cup of tea, you don't have to work with me.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

That's right.

Speaker A:

You might be somebody's whiskey.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I'm going to ask you the.

Speaker B:

Which I probably am.

Speaker B:

More.

Speaker B:

More Tequila, actually.

Speaker A:

Tequila.

Speaker A:

I'm going to ask you the.

Speaker A:

Cheers to that.

Speaker A:

We're going to ask you the final question that I ask all my guests.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker A:

What does a warrior spirit, or having a warrior spirit mean to Andrea Jannetti?

Speaker B:

Oh, I love that question.

Speaker B:

I think it's.

Speaker B:

It is who I am at my core.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

It is that always going after what I set my mind to.

Speaker B:

I go after it.

Speaker B:

It's that confidence to just be who you are and not be afraid to offend other people.

Speaker B:

You're never going to be friends with everyone.

Speaker B:

And I think in this PC world that we live in, there's a lot of people that mask themselves and aren't able to be their authentic and true self.

Speaker B:

And so having that warrior spirit is like that.

Speaker B:

Fighting for who you are, fighting for your loved ones, fighting for whatever you're passionate about, and going out there and just making it happen.

Speaker A:

Well, I'm glad that you have a warrior spirit.

Speaker A:

I'm glad that you're in my tribe and I'm in your circle.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

You know, thank you for joining me today on doing this.

Speaker A:

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

Thanks for having me.

Speaker B:

I'll definitely come back.

Speaker B:

For sure.

Speaker A:

You're welcome.

Speaker A:

And if you would like to hook up with.

Speaker A:

Not hook up.

Speaker A:

If you'd like to connect with Andrea, you can do so on her social platforms.

Speaker A:

Speaker B:

Where Inner Warriors Shine In Their Light
Warriors aren’t born—they’re forged in the fires of challenge. Each setback is a hammer striking the anvil of our character, shaping us into stronger, more compassionate individuals.

A Warrior Spirit podcast is a space where we conquer not only the world around us but also the shadows within. Hosted by Daryl Snow, this show dives into real stories of resilience, featuring individuals who have turned pain into purpose and struggles into success.

Join us each week for inspiring conversations with thought leaders, everyday heroes, and experts in personal growth. Together, we’ll explore how to transform adversity into opportunity and build a community of warriors united by strength, compassion, and gratitude.

This isn’t just about the fight—it’s about how we rise from it. Be inspired. Be empowered. And embrace the spirit of the warrior within.

About your host

Daryl Snow

As a keynote speaker, podcaster, and transformational growth consultant, I’m a passionate advocate for personal and professional growth. By sparking the desire to change from within, both individuals and organizations can reach their full potential.

Imagine unlocking a treasure chest overflowing with life's greatest joys! That's what awaits when we turn inward and explore our mindset. By simply becoming aware of our thoughts and beliefs, we unlock the key to lasting positive change. This journey within opens the door to experiencing all the happiness life has to offer.

Fueled by the belief that continuous learning is key to making lasting change (after all, if you stop learning, you stop growing!), I help others to embrace a new mindset, cultivate valuable life skills, and step into living a more authentic life.

While leveraging over 40 years of knowledge and practical insight has helped me to decipher what is, and what is not being said, it is the ability to simplify complex situations that has truly increased the level of understanding that my audiences and clients have experienced.
