On this​​ episode of the Ask Brien Show, our hosts Brien Johnson and Traci DeForge speak with Jenn Trepeck about entrepreneurship and healthy living. Jenn is an entrepreneur, health coach, and podcast host of Salad with A Side of Fries. Brien, Traci, and Jenn talk about how she started her business as a side hustle and grew it through networking. Jenn shares her 30-30-30 fitness hack and how the best diet isn’t a diet at all. They also talk about the myth of balance for entrepreneurs and how investing in your health is investing in your business. 

IN THIS EPISODE:

• [08:08] Jenn is introduced and her entrepreneurial journey explored
• [12:14] How she started her business
• [15:40] Building relationships that become customers 
• [18:00] The importance of health and the 30-30-30 explained
• [28:05] What is the best diet
• [31:55] Moderation and the myth of balance for entrepreneurs

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• As entrepreneurs, we are our business. If we are not well, if we are not able to function, the business suffers. Taking care of ourselves is a piece of taking care of the business.
• The best diet is actually the one that you can follow for the rest of your life.
• We have this idea that for our activity to count, it has to be 30 minutes or 45 minutes or an hour. And it has to make us feel like we’re gonna die. That is nonsense!
