Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Constructive, Royal Lady.
Wendy audio-2: Royal.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: it. Yeah. Constructive, we choose it. And we’re so proud of this podcast too, and that we have now been
doing it for seven years and there could also be. Merely such a plethora of episodes and an archive. And it is good on account of I might say like each week, half of the people who uncover themselves listening to the podcast are listening to the present episode, after which [00:03:00] higher than half of the persons are listening to the archives.
So it is good that these episodes are getting love too, and that when folks uncover one. Episode, they have a tendency to kind of return and binge the podcast. So thanks. In case you are a binge or do you have to’re new, should you are an og, we acknowledge all of you guys and that is the rationale we wished to do this enterprise q and a. So do you wanna begin with the primary query?
Wendy audio-2: Yeah. So the primary query is your ideas on hiring. Oh, sorry. Oh, excuse me. I will begin that when further. So the primary query is, your ideas on hiring a occupation or selling and promoting and advertising and marketing coach, is it positively nicely well worth the funding? Hmm. Okay. So we’re presently working with a enterprise coach and now we have now had a very constructive expertise.
You already know, it is, I, I contemplate it is positively nicely well worth the funding should you are in a position to afford it. For people who’re like trying to make [00:04:00] ends meet and you’ve got monetary priorities elsewhere, I contemplate. It is one issue to contemplate on account of I used to be having this dialog with my buddy cuz she was pondering of hiring a occupation coach only for her, like private, you understand, professional progress.
And now we have now been kind of speaking about that. She’s like, correctly, do you suppose it is value it? Is that one issue I need to do? And I like, a lot of of these coaches are so costly. And, you understand, I, I am like, correctly, you understand, should you presumably can afford it, then. It may very successfully be helpful, however I contemplate should you are gonna be stressing out about cash, be in, you understand, all through the strategy of like trying to get a coach, I do not know.
I, I contemplate it is necessary to prioritize in which means. For us, it made sense. We kind of put apart some cash to work with the enterprise coach, and what I beloved about it’s that, Notably for me and Jess, cuz it is two of us. It is good having an out of doors one which’s significantly additional goal. It may successfully [00:05:00] assist us communicate collectively about, you understand, what the objectives are.
Yeah and simply kind of present concepts
on the concepts that we have now on account of we’re ready to kind of go off the rails significantly bit and like lose observe of time or almost certainly not preserve targeted. So it’s good having that actual specific individual and I do suppose that it has been
positively nicely well worth the funding for us.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah, and we have now
labored
with, I truly actually really feel like not decrease than one enterprise coach prior to now. I don’t possible actually really feel like they have been positively nicely well worth the funding. It furthermore merely relies upon upon
on the enterprise coach and are they actually listening to what you may be saying, what your points are. Or are they merely kind of trying to place you into some elements that it, you understand, has labored for them?
I truly actually really feel like that is quite a lot of enterprise coaches. It is like, proper right here is my blueprint and I do not need somebody who needs to do a blueprint similar to weight reduction plan counseling. Like, I might love factors which may be very individualized to my needs, my objectives And in no way equal to your blueprint for get wealthy fast scheme. [00:06:00]
Wendy audio-2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: in order that’s kind of merely, you gotta ought to suss it out.
We’ll have our, we’re gonna have our enterprise coach on subsequent week, so that you would possibly hear about her sort. She provides instructing, so there is a, you understand, a suggestion there. However let’s bounce into the next query.
You’ll be able to edit that
out.
Wendy audio-2: say that like should you do search the advice of with. A coach. I contemplate it is necessary to inform ‘em upfront, like, that is what I am in search of to get out of this expertise versus having them knowledge the teachings on account of we did I am actually remembering now that we did this utterly completely different enterprise coach session.
It was good, however she kind of had like merely mentioned like her blueprint or her methodology and we needed to like instantly be like, instantly be like, okay. That is not what we’re searching for. That is what we’re considering. That is what may presumably be most helpful. And it was good cuz she was like, oh wow, that is utterly utterly completely different.
Like, I am used to doing factors this pattern, however we’re ready to totally do this. And it, and it
was actually useful for us. However you
[00:07:00] furthermore ought to kind of discuss up and allow them to know like what precisely it’s that you simply simply want to get from that. And should you are not clear on that, then possibly merely take a while to consider it to solely take into account to’re getting your cash’s
value.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah. Yeah. And, and as when he mentioned, talking up, whether or not it’s
going off, The rails or in a course that you do not really need assist with. Cuz all of us have our strengths and weaknesses. And I used to be listening to a podcast by the Tone It Up ladies yesterday, they typically have been saying that normally, like Wendy was saying, everytime you’ve got been doing it for thus extended, that is virtually as quickly as I suppose a enterprise coach is quite extra useful to have.
An outside perspective on account of they mentioned that that that they had achieved factors the equal means they typically kind of had tunnel imaginative and prescient with the content material materials supplies that they have been placing out. And any specific individual acquired proper right here in and was like, actually, you should be doing it this pattern. They usually additionally’re like, no, no, no, however now we have now regularly achieved it this pattern, like our DVDs and no matter else.
They usually additionally’re like, no. So anyway, they ended up switching it and it was a vast success for his or her enterprise. And all it took [00:08:00] was any specific individual, From the pores and pores and skin to look in and say like, this does not make any sense. So yeah.
Query two, how has your imaginative and prescient for the enterprise developed from its inception? And it is a two-part query.
What did you need it to be versus what has it flip into? And this query is from all of the snacks, love your address. So our enterprise, we did not have a a imaginative and prescient for the enterprise as quickly as we began. It was a creative outlet. We’re saying this frequently, we do not counsel that. Some folks will say begin as a creative outlet.
And even the tone it up ladies have been like, yeah, it’s a ought to to start out in service to your neighborhood. And we merely wished to assist women. And I get that, nonetheless in addition to conditions have modified. It is so oversaturated that I do truly actually really feel. It is elevated to have a plan and a imaginative and prescient for what you need it to be, a promoting and advertising and marketing approach, all of these factors.
Like we [00:09:00] nonetheless have not at all achieved a promoting and advertising and marketing approach. We will for Meals Heaven 2.0, however we have now not for Meals Heaven 1.0. So I might say for us, what we wished it to be was, Solely a spot the place folks may get evidence-based weight reduction plan data from an inclusive perspective that was furthermore accessible. In order that’s the easiest way it began creatively.
And I truly actually really feel like we have now been ready to try this. Like I do not suppose that we had every completely different imaginative and prescient for the enterprise. When. Beginning. So I am unable to say that it is like utterly utterly completely different from what it will need to have been, however yeah, I contemplate that we kind of have been merely having enjoyable with it by ear and trying out different points on a regular basis and seeing what caught and what caught to this point was, you understand, doing this podcast favor it.
It was in fact like a pleasurable means for us to proceed to verify weight reduction plan and What caught was doing our talking [00:10:00] engagements and dealing with producers and with the facility to generate earnings off of that in order that we may put out all of our content material materials supplies with out spending a dime.
Wendy audio-2: Yeah. Yeah. And. Furthermore, I will say like all by the use of the years in order quickly as we began Meals Heaven, it began as, you understand, merely very elementary weight reduction plan schooling that was culturally competent. That was identical to the inspiration. All by the use of the years, it has flip into, I do not know if the phrase is refined, nonetheless it’s undoubtedly flip into significantly additional targeted, whereas we discovered about utterly utterly completely different approaches.
Modalities acquired launched to, you understand, new analysis now we have now taken on a successfully being at each measurement, weight inclusive methodology. And, you understand, merely. Exploring intuitive consuming and all of that stuff, which I am constructive should you’re taking heed to the podcast, you understand this, however we did not begin off which means. Now we have now been actually, like, at first, we weren’t, I [00:11:00] would not say that now we have now been like targeted on weight low cost, nonetheless when somebody wished to seek out that, now we have now been open to love having that dialog and giving concepts primarily based completely on like what we present in our educational educating.
So it has flip into significantly additional Targeted in which means. Yeah. After which, you understand, we’ll see what occurs now. I truly actually really feel like all of, all of these approaches that now we have now adopted alongside the most effective methods will certainly, it is not like we’re merely gonna depart all of that behind on account of we nonetheless take into consideration in that and, and, you understand, at.
Yeah, we nonetheless wanna incorporate it into no matter weight reduction plan work it’s that we do. However yeah, we’re pondering that it is gonna look reasonably fairly a bit utterly utterly completely different merely with regards to similar to the day-to-day and who we’re serving and the kind of schooling that we’re offering. So,
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yep.
Wendy audio-2: yeah. All right. Subsequent query. If y’all select to not proceed with Meals Heaven does the concept of going as soon as extra to a 9 to 5 [00:12:00] scare y’all.
I do not know that it scares me, nonetheless in addition to I do not see myself going as soon as extra to a 9 to 5 like full-time. I merely, at this stage in my occupation, I. I truly actually really feel fairly assured in realizing that I’ve some picks open to me that I is also, you understand, considerably creative all through the kind of work that I cope with. So I point out, it is not scary.
I, I’ve labored in quite a lot of 9 to fives and regular, like fairly constructive expertise, notably like working all through the burden loss plan self-discipline. However yeah, it is merely not one issue that I truly actually really feel like I’ve to do anymore. And likewise you understand, now with the web being as massive as a result of it is I contemplate there’s equal to quite a lot of different picks for work that, you understand, are very like exterior of the sphere, notably with weight reduction plan.
So I might most undoubtedly, I truly actually really feel like for years now I’ve achieved a mixture [00:13:00] of varied factors. Like I will perform just a bit little little little bit of medical, I will do some creative
stuff. We’re regularly doing meals Heaven. So, yeah, I do not suppose it is gonna be like, oh, we’re now doing meals Heavens, so we’re going
as soon as extra to love, agency, or we’re gonna be, you understand, like in a workplace or one issue like
that.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah, I, constructive, for me, a 9 to 5 may presumably be absolutely terrifying and I don’t see that for myself. Knock on wooden.
It is not wooden. Protect on. Knocking on exact wooden. I do not see it. I am sorry. And it is humorous cuz as I discussed, I contemplate two episodes before now for my CK Web elder, I’m writing a whole article about this, like being a creator and identical to the professionals and cons and similar to the 9 to 5 versus not 9 to 5.
And I’m merely, An entrepreneur by and by way of. And so a 9 to 5 shouldn’t be my jam. Nonetheless, if I needed to get a 9 to 5, would I? Yeah, constructive. Have I had them before Most of my grownup [00:14:00] life, absolutely. Nevertheless when, if I did get a job, it need to be one issue that was very versatile the place it used quite a lot of utterly utterly completely different elements of my ideas or the place it was very part-time.
I am unable to see myself working a full-time, 9 to 5. On this lifetime. Anyway,
Wendy audio-2: Yeah.
Agreed.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: subsequent query. Oh, and by the most effective methods, that was from Jared’s. This query is from a Hampton oh 9. Hey lady. Hey.
Wendy audio-2: Hey,
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah,
Wendy audio-2: hey
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: her.
Wendy audio-2: Right.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: She says, how do you incorporate your values and needs into captivated with what’s subsequent? Ooh, good query. And by the most effective methods, we’re merely these questions for the primary time and answering them on the fly, so bear with us.
However with regards to values and needs, I contemplate furthermore as we’re going, as we’re getting older, as I am going into my second chapter of life, [00:15:00] you merely get significantly additional clear on what your needs are and what your values are. So for me, I worth steadiness and I furthermore worth. Not being consumed with work and having extracurriculars and utterly utterly completely different pursuits, and I truly actually really feel like now may presumably be the time to actually hone in on all these utterly completely different factors that fill me up in a implies that I hadn’t been as intentional persistently, or as persistently intentional about before.
So that’s actually my principal perform is like work being possibly 40% of my life. After which social being 40% and extracurriculars being 20% and that is almost what I acquired time for. Versus work being 70% and the entire objects else kind of will get inside the place it matches in. In order that’s predominant. And I contemplate needs clever, that is the rationale I furthermore love working for myself on account of though you [00:16:00] most undoubtedly do find yourself working additional hours, A, hopefully you may be doing one issue you want, and B, I can create a schedule that really works correctly for me.
So I uncover that I’ve my most creativity and clear ideas actually early all through the morning, like six 30, so I can. Begin working then, after which take my break to kind of do my strolling or my nicely being stuff after which bathe, no matter, after which begin working as quickly as further. Versus you almost certainly have a 9 to 5 job, that is gonna be actually troublesome.
So I contemplate merely kind of getting dependable with what works for you and determining a method to have the facility to incorporate that’s what I’ve personally been targeted on on this season.
Wendy audio-2: Choose it. Subsequent query. As an entrepreneur, what do you do for medical insurance coverage protection? It’s a nice query, and I contemplate it is one among many largest struggles that I’ve seen [00:17:00] entrepreneurs have. I point out, for me it is, it is an ongoing wrestle Right now I do have medical insurance coverage protection. Thank God, however there for the previous few years I did not actually, cuz right now I am working at one among many hospitals in New York Metropolis part-time and I will get medical insurance coverage protection advantages by this place, which I’m so grateful for.
However before that, I used to be merely kind of winging it. I did not have medical insurance coverage protection and that is sadly the case for loads of entrepreneurs cuz it is so costly. Like I take into account as quickly as I left my, you understand, full-time job years before now. I attempted to get medical insurance coverage protection and the costs they have been giving me have been outrageous.
I am unable to even consider how fairly a bit it’s now, however from what I recall, and it was a horrible plan. Much like the deductible was so excessive and it was like I needed to pay like. [00:18:00] I needed to primarily come out of pocket for almost certainly primarily probably the most half until I used to be like dying or one issue. And it was like $600 a month and I used to be equal to, okay, this does not make any sense.
Regular, I am fairly healthful, you understand, God forbid I get hit by a automotive or I get most cancers, however like typically I will my bodily yearly. I’ve by no means acquired like all of those medical needs, so I kind of winked it. And my dad and mom have been like actually involved they typically completely happy me to get medical insurance coverage protection in Dr. And Dominican Republic, that is the place they dwell and I’m going fairly typically they typically have been like, merely get it cuz you not at all know if any emergency have been to occur, not decrease than you may get healthcare correct proper right here.
And at Dr. I point out my medical insurance coverage protection, like the proper plan was like, $45 a month or $50 a month or one issue like that. And it was like v i p infant, like I used to be, you understand, doing all of my visits, doing all of my factors. I had journey insurance coverage protection safety, I had like all, all the issues. So I did that after which as shortly as I acquired this [00:19:00] medical place I ended up lowering off that.
Medical insurance coverage protection and now I merely have the one which I’ve now, which is sweet. Nevertheless it is a matter. It is so costly. I point out in fact, should you presumably can marry to get medical insurance coverage protection, do it.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Mm-hmm.
Wendy audio-2: That is an, another that I do know a variety of people do cuz it merely kind of
is sensible cuz the healthcare is so ridiculous all through the, inside the USA.
However yeah, that is what I
do. Jess.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah, so a pair factors like with meals Heaven, the primary, as we talked about, what, eight years?
We had utterly completely different jobs. So I had a full-time job for a majority of the time that now we have now been doing meals heaven, and I acquired insurance coverage protection safety which means. After which I transitioned to a part-time job that was 50% full-time equal, and I had insurance coverage protection safety by that part-time job, which was furthermore good and possibly uncommon to get insurance coverage protection safety by a part-time job.
In order that coated me [00:20:00] by. After which in 2018, as Wendy talked about, I acquired married for the advantages. Merely kidding. Not just for the advantages however that was my saving grace. And I do know that that might presumably be a privilege cuz the, one among many the dieticians who has a sub, I contemplate it is she’s anti-racist dietician. She has a whole article about like, is being a dietician a, a job for housewives on account of, You already know, quite a lot of conditions you do not make some massive cash and as well as you want insurance coverage protection safety and all of the factors, and so that you simply simply kind of, you understand, need to be a housewife to do it, which is unlucky.
However yeah, so now I am on my husband’s insurance coverage protection safety, however I might not be succesful to not have insurance coverage protection safety on account of I’m a, what do they establish it? It is extra prone to be offensive time interval, A frequent flyer. Is that offensive? It’s. Okay. Edit that out.
Wendy audio-2: no.
No, no, I am not saying it is offensive. I am saying
that might presumably be a time interval.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Oh, that’s the time interval. I’m somebody who, I will the physician each utterly completely different [00:21:00] day, each week.
I’ve a physician’s appointment this week. I had a physician’s
appointment final week. Each single week I acquired reasonably fairly a bit occurring. So I might love the insurance coverage protection safety. I’ve quite a lot of freak accidents. I acquired reasonably fairly a bit occurring. No means I might pay the $2,000 premium and simply be broke. Cuz that’s maybe a greater deal than paying out of pocket for me personally.
So yeah, that is the insurance coverage protection safety story. Thanks for that query, Sundance. Okay, so subsequent query is from inclusive s dietician they typically say, how do you do all of it? Are you working like frequently? I might say n no, I am not working frequently. Normally I, I contemplate it is seasons, right? Like there’s some seasons the place you might be, like, as quickly as I was growing the home, constructive, I used to be working to the underside.
That triggered my burnout amongst utterly completely different factors. However presently on this season, as we’re pulling as soon as extra and doing so much a lot much less, like I don’t possible actually really feel like we’re doing all of it right now. At [00:22:00] least I am not, you may be doing higher than me. I, I truly actually really feel like I’ve a very good steadiness. That’s working fantastically. And and likewise getting assist too, like we’re kind of the types the place we do not delegate fairly a bit and we do the entire objects ourselves, however having assist has been nice.
And, oops, remedy reminder, having assist has been vital and. That is the one means I truly actually really feel like we’re in a position to do what it’s that we do. So for the podcast, we’re assigned to a podcast group they typically do all of our adverts. As we talked about before, we have now our nice coordinator, Chelsea, who’s speaking with agency one issue that we used to do ourself frequently.
I did have a personal observe, however I seen for me, working that alone and seeing all my victims was merely an excessive amount of. And in order that I needed to finish a pair months before now. For my home, my [00:23:00] Airbnb that I’ve, I now have my mates who I pay to cope with it for me who dwell domestically all through the desert. So I contemplate merely getting the assistance has been good for me.
What about you?
Wendy audio-2: Yeah. I do not suppose that I work frequently, however prior to now few months it is undoubtedly been actually hectic cuz I’ve merely had fairly a bit occurring from, you understand, equal to. W Yeah. Being overworked. Truly let me edit that out cuz who’s aware of who’s listening. So I don’t possible actually really feel like I am working regularly. Nonetheless, prior to now few months have been fairly hectic. I’ve a renovation occurring. I’ve had quite a lot of work on my plate. And they also moreover’re merely, it has been kind of blurry with like work private life boundaries. Like when am I working, when am I not working?
That is been significantly additional like all through the grey home these previous few months on account of it is merely, You already know, at any time as soon as I get a [00:24:00] second I am like, oh, will let you understand. Even when it is like on a Sunday, I’ll most likely be like, oh, let me, you understand, work on this problem. You already know, cuz I’ve significantly little little little bit of time. However transferring ahead, these subsequent few months and onward, I’m trying ahead to having like designated days and conditions to work on constructive factors.
Yeah, it is merely, that is almost certainly not my vibe to be like, oh yeah, I am merely working 24 7. I’ve by no means acquired, you understand, time to leisure or to carry spherical with mates or et cetera, et cetera. So yeah, it is one issue that I’m engaged on and that I am trying ahead to. So, transferring alongside. Subsequent query. Any model deal horror tales?
Oh, God,
there is also. There’s just a few.
Let us take a look at how we’re ready to make this as obscure as potential.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: We cannot title names. We do not wanna
Wendy audio-2: In actuality. Yeah. We’re not gonna title names. Now we have now [00:25:00] had just a few producers which may be simply so specific with You already know, the issues that they need to the intention the place they could make us like reshoot content material materials supplies that we had already agreed to do.
Proper right here is the difficulty. I contemplate producers, notably producers that do additional like. Old-fashioned selling and promoting and advertising and marketing, it is, they kind of modify to a elements they typically do not need to deviate from it, even when it is not updated with the conditions and updated with what folks like and work together with. You already know, in order an illustration, they, they’ll be like very caught on like, Oh, the branding need to be actually wonderful.
It need to be entrance and heart the place for us, we like to include factors in an additional delicate means, in an additional pure means, cuz we predict that folks merely take pleasure in that elevated. And likewise you understand, it is like we do not wanna be like, you understand, shaking a product in your face and being like, purchase this [00:26:00] and a few of these producers merely do not get it.
And, and like they could kind of. Push us correct proper right into a nook and be like, that is how we wish it achieved. After which, you understand, it does horribly, which we urged them that it will do. Due to it is merely not, it is, it is not a
good methodology almost about selling and promoting and advertising and marketing. You already know, nonetheless it’s like, it kind of is what it’s and we have now to do it which means cuz we’re in contract with them.
In order that’s occurred quite a lot of conditions.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah. and for me, a really highly effective horror of all of them shouldn’t be getting paid.
Wendy audio-2: Oh God,
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: we had a model,
you’d die should you knew who it was.
Wendy audio-2: who shall not be
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Yeah, they, they shall not be named, however they
actually tried it cuz we are the type, hear, should you are a model listening, you do not want to fret about us. Like, we’re not the type to, you understand, submit all of the enterprise.
Like we actually wanna
protect it fashionable. That is, you understand, this usually is a consultant alternate, however we acquired this near a Twitter [00:27:00] thread about this model on account of yeah, we needed to get a lawyer concerned on account of it was
Wendy audio-2: It was an unlimited contract.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: It was our largest contract.
Wendy audio-2: It was a

this week. It is like, are y’all broke? Due to possibly folks ought to know that.
Wendy audio-2: right. Precisely.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: was a Gen Z which will’ve been on blast, like after two weeks,
Wendy audio-2: Oh, absolutely. We attempt to handle it cute {{{and professional}}}, nonetheless it acquired to the intention the place it was merely outta hand.
We
needed to get, you understand, our accounting crew concerned. We
needed to get approved professionals concerned. At what stage I merely went off
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Wendy did go up.
Wendy audio-2: I wrote a. A whole rattling essay and a half and I CC’d all people on their crew on account of I used to be like, y’all are actually [00:28:00] trying it like now we have now been.
Now we have now been like merely fucking, ooh, sorry. We may edit that out. Now we have now been like merely fuming, favor it was like bubbles have been popping out of my mouth. That is how
upset I used to be about this case. I am equal to, not at all as quickly as further. I’m going to not at all advocate your product and I’m going to not at all work with you ever. That really was predominant
for horror story.
Jess Epi Audio_Pivot 4: Main, hun. Yeah, 100%. And it was a

What a disgrace. We not at all had one factor
like that although, the place it’s quite just like the contract sha, they did not dwell as so much as their finish of the contract.

Wendy audio-2: whole problem. And as quickly as further, this usually is a
massive model Okay.
