In this episode, I sit down with Chris Gerardi and Jen Coffey - founders of Mellivora. What began as a blog turned into a highly successful fashion legging line, featuring incredibly inspiring Colorado landscapes. Chris and Jen walk us through their journey of being released from Corporate America, digging into what made them truly happy - their hobbies and love for the outdoors - and how that then propelled Chris to create a blog, sharing his life experiences both through the written word and photography. One fateful day, Chris took notice to a woman wearing a pair of rather ostentatious pair of leggings and the light bulb went on. This - this was how he was going to share his stories and engage others into the conversation. In this 2 part series, Chris and Jen discuss the wins and the hardships of starting a business. It takes perseverance and persistence. It takes building long term relationships. It takes self belief and self determination. It takes fail, fail, fail, win, fail, fail, fail, and continue

In this episode, I interview muralist Lindee Zimmer. Lindee went to school for fine art and along her path, she became an advocate for artists' fair wages and education in her community. Over time, she has created large scale art on public buildings local to her hometown and across the US. She is passionate that art is to be shared and accessible to all, hence her public art displays. We dive into the burnout of working for yourself and how Lindee recharges her senses. She also discusses how she surrounds herself with artists of all variety - which supports her creative expansion as well as ongoing discussion on how to grow her own reach.  You can find Lindee on Instagram @lindeezimmer and at zimmerlindee.com ---- To learn more about Leap, the podcast and coaching services, please join us on our LEAP Facebook page at facebook.com/whatsyourleap Schedule a Discovery Call at calendly.com/whatsyourleap ---- Produced by: David Margittai | In Post Media Website: inpostmedia.com Email: david@inpostmedi

In this episode, I talk with Chris Moore, founder of Wearrative. Chris delves into his origin story and the birth of Wearrative: burnt out from a very successful corporate career, he sought more connection. Early in his working life, he worked on the front lines - conversing with patients who were directly affected by the work produced. Over time, the work put more space between him and the stories of those individuals and families who benefited from his work. It was here, at this crossroads, Chris realized storytelling was his passion - and Wearrative was born. Chris openly discusses planning and laying the groundwork of the business and, after several months, pivoting to its current position. We talk about the hardships of entrepreneurship, and how it is completely worth the long hours and stress because he is following his passion and creating a life for himself and his family.  You can find Chris on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @wearrative as well as at wearrative.com ---- To learn more ab

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Jaenike, Co-Founder of Prismajic - a Creative Exploratorium business. Prismajic creates immersive art experiences - like walking through a painting where you can engage ALL of your senses. Through their installations, they combine art, sculpture, and digital technology, transforming how people see themselves and their world.  Eric's journey began in the fast paced world of Wall Street in New York City. And, while he had tremendous success in the industry, there was a bigger calling that pulled him into technology with a keen balance of art, philosophy, and spirituality. It is in this calling, he followed his heart and came together with a business partner to create Prismajic. The company is based in Denver and has a current installment, Natura Obscura, at the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood, CO. Natura Obscura runs through April 28. Tickets can be purchased at www.naturaobscura.org/ticket-information/   In addition to this current installment, Prismajic w

In this episode, I talked with Lauren Bahr, founder of Simply Balanced Wellness. Lauren founded her coaching practice as a result of a personal health crash several years ago. She was overtired, overspent, and overworked focused on caring for her two young children and husband and neglecting to take good care of herself. As a busy mom and wife with a full-time career, she was spent. Focusing on the needs of everyone around her and not being focused on filling her own cup, she hit a wall. It was during that introspection as she healed herself that she realized there was another avenue, another pathway. She began to investigate the effects of nutrition on your whole-body wellness. Her journey led her down the path of integrative nutrition and Simply Balanced Wellness was born.

Hello Everyone! Today, I share with you the very first episode of LEAP. LEAP was birthed in September 2018 in the wake of Denver Start Up Week. It was during that week a friend of mine mentioned casually that he had a podcast. In my inquisitive nature, I listened to one of his shows (a 2 part series.) The particular podcast featured Ryan Helms, the founder of Grit and Hustle and a feature of that conversation wrapped around Ryan's Side Hustle Journal. As I followed this path, I downloaded and began using this journal to organize my thoughts around some ideas I had been postulating. In my shear excitement, reached out to Ryan immediately to share my gratitude for this journal and shared my big idea. His Response - think about doing a podcast. Long story short, that was the birth of LEAP. So, today, in honor of Ryan's gift to me, I share with you the inaugural LEAP podcast. Ryan and I dive into how a whim of a trip to Africa birthed his company, Grit and Hustle and how that has turned into a 6 figure side inc
