038 How To Start a Healthy, Fresh Cafe + Restaurant with Simple Kitchen Founder Erin Baric

Formerly a teacher with structured hours, consistency in her workweeks and all the lovely stability of things like predictable paychecks, pension + benefits & holidays, Erin Baric (founder of The SImple Kitchen) traded in her life as a teacher so that she could follow her true calling, which was entrepreneurship.

From flipping 100’s of homes & navigating her way through real estate market, to opening one of Toronto’s best & most well-respected fresh wholesome & allergen free cafes, Erin is a true force to be reckoned with.

Meet Marlie Cohen

Welcome back, visionaries!

This week on the show I have for you an incredible interview with Marlie Cohen, who is a wellness and lifestyle expert based in Toronto. She is also the founder of the blog + Instagram account + YouTube channel called Kale & Krunches.

After struggling to stay active and eat well in her office job, Marlie found ways to keep healthy in the workplace and began sharing these tips on her social media channels under the alias, Kale and Krunches. From clean recipes and healthy food hot spots, to new workouts and the latest activewear, Marlie loves sharing her favourite products and routines with her audience. Now a full-time content creator and fitness instructor, Marlie continues to offer her tips to achieving balance and wellness with all her readers and community.

I adored interviewing Marlie! You’re going to love this episode.

036 Taking Over The Family Business & Lessons in Learning as you Go

NEW PODCAST EPISODE WITH CAROLYN GUMMO, OWNER + OPERATOR OF CITY REVIVAL IN PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

City Revival

Vintage Clothing in Prince Edward County

---

Today we’re chatting with Carolyn Gummo from City Revival, a vintage clothing shop in Prince Edward County.

Caroyln took over a family business with next to no formal business education and is navigating the journey one step at a time. Before we started recording, we chatted about impostor syndrome.

Have you ever felt this?

You know that ‘who am I to be doing this’ or ‘what do I have to share that’s worthy’ feeling….

Carolyn literally said to me before the show that she wasn’t sure she was necessarily the right person for the show… but of course, I begged to differ. I am thrilled to be able to highlight someone who is pushing their comfort zones, learning along the path, and navigating the impostor syndrome each and every day.

She may not fully identify as a visionary yet, but I see it shining in her SO bright. It’s so special.

City Revival is SUCH a gem in The County. You MUST visit (& shop your heart out!) if you go to PEC in Ontario.

Here are 6 important things that I learned from Carolyn in this episode!

1. Ask for help BEFORE you burn out – you need to delegate things to your team

2. Travel near, wide & far to gather inspiration for your business— seek out the type of businesses you love for inspiration and explore new brands & aesthetics when you’re away from home

3. Outsource the things that you don’t feel strong doing — it’s ok to delegate your weaknesss

4. Infuse FUN into your workplace— you’re the C.V.O. afterall!

5. Get your foot in the door to start your career— work for free, volunteer your time, ask your network for experience

6. Movement is a vital part of a successful entrepreneurs routine— For Carolyn, a morning run/jog can change her day

Once again, I was lucky enough to partner with Prince Edward County and the community development department to bring you this episode, so I want to say a massive thank you to them for believing in me and for their willingness to support this series, highlighting the incredible talent among the visionary entrepreneurs in the area.

I would highly encourage anyone who is interested in learning more, or potentially exploring new opportunity in life or career, to head to www.buildanewlife.ca and check out their blog which shares the stories of their residents.

I’m truly honoured to be able to share a little piece of the magic that’s happening right now in the county with you, in hopes that we can all pull a little bit of this magical energy into our own lives.
