034 Bootcamps for Change Founder Katie Heggtveit is Changing the Way We View Street Youth with Her Organization

Bootcamps for Change Founder Katie Heggtveit is Changing the Way We View Street Youth

Katie Heggtveit is the youngest visionary we’ve featured on the show!

She also might be the busiest, most driven woman you’ve EVER listened to on a podcast. Prepare to be inspired!

Katie runs her Toronto-based charity, Bootcamps for Change, while studying at Ryerson University full time. Bootcamps for Change was born after nutrition and fitness saved her life at the age of 13.

As an empathetic, lifelong volunteer with vulnerable populations, she began to develop strategies to directly address health inequities and employment gaps in her community. Katie is determined to change how the population views street youth by removing accessibility barriers to employment education, life skills as well as fitness and nutrition programs to close the loop.

Some of the topics that we cover in today’s episode include:

• The importance of volunteering and making it a priority in your life, no matter what age

• The real definition of failure should simply be: when you don’t start something that’s important to you

• You’re never too young to begin building your passion project

• Katie shared that building community and connections were some of the first steps towards building Bootcamps for Change

• We all have the power to change other people’s lives in a big way

• If you don’t know where to begin– looks to others! What are they doing? How can you modify or improve it?

032 The Story of Apple Falls Cider: Amelia went from Orchard Employee to Craft Cider Business Owner!

Hey everyone!

You’re going to love this week’s episode. I recorded it on an apple orchard (a literal dream come true for me since podcasts + apples are two of my favourite things in life!) but we get down to BUSINESS with Amelia and her dad Colin, will sipping cider!

I took away some powerful lessons from this episode. Here’s a quick synopsis:

1. As a business owner, you should learn to be okay with financial risk

2. Read the book The Lean Startup (HERE)

3. Don’t talk about things, DO things!

4. Look for grants that you can apply for

5. If you want to start a business, make a business plan, encounter obstacles, fail, and just do it

Aside from these lessons learned, here are a few more details about today’s interview and about Apple Falls Cider…

Amelia and Matt have been making hard cider since 2012, after they fell in love with the beverage in London, England. After successfully completing their post-secondary education, Matt and Amelia visited London, England. While they were exploring the culture in London, they stumbled upon traditional hard apple cider. From then on, they were hooked.

On their return, they started experimenting with different blends of apple varieties from the family farm. Their recipe was perfected over many bottles shared with family and friends. They were destined for cider-making, obsessed with achieving exceptional taste using just one ingredient, apples.

Passionate about cider and driven to succeed, Amelia and Matt started Apple Falls Cider Company. Their cider uses 100% Campbell’s Orchards apples, hand picked from the family farm. The exceptional quality of the apples from Campbell’s Orchards directly ensures great tasting cider.

Chatting with Amelia (& bonus that I got to chat with her Dad Colin, as well!) was such a joy. We are both millennial entrepreneurs and we clicked so easily. I know you’ll be inspired by her story!

Be sure to check out their website to learn more about the cider, where to purchase it, and how you can visit them if you head to Prince Edward County!
