#10: BE ALPHA with Bradford Reynolds: The NUMBERS Behind Building A Successful Bizz
I thought it would be fun to bring in a totally different perspective to something Kristen and I talked about in a previous episode: building, starting, and growing a business. Join Bradford Reynolds and I as we talk about how to not get so overwhelmed with the numbers and projections, but realizing that having a plan is the key to growth, not just following the heart.
Check out Bradford's podcast over at "Alpha Musings" on iTunes for more alpha.

#8: BE NERDY with Dr. Lauren Koedyk
Dr Lauren Koedyk, a Holistic Chiropractor, with a background in professional cycling and extensive global travel, Dr. Lauren brings an unusually diverse worldview to her practice. Growing up in New Zealand, her mother’s wariness of orthodox medicine taught Lauren to pursue sunshine, fresh produce and herbal remedies as a means to maintain daily wellness. Yet when her grueling athletic pursuits led to injury and illness, she found holistic chiropractic care to be the most potent way to promote her body’s self-healing.
After earning a Bachelor of Chiropractic from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic (the equivalent of an American Doctor of Chiropractic), Lauren trained in herbal and nutritional medicine, and functional neurology. Her diverse educational interests led her to travel extensively throughout Asia, and to teach and practice chiropractic around the world. She eventually set down roots in Denver in 2014, founding Nikau Chiropractic as homage to the iconic Nikau trees that line the shores of her native New Zealand.
Where to find her:

Where Em will be:
CHICAGO this weekend at The Fit Expo! May 6-7
Austin at PaleoFX and Picnik May 19-21st
