Today, I’m sitting down with Rivers Corbett.Rivers Corbett is a serial entrepreneur, a passionate mentor, and most recently he is the founder of an experience company called ChefTorial which offers virtual culinary experiences hosted by Top Tier Chefs, that you can tune into from the comfort of your own home!The idea to launch ChefTorial was actually a pivot that Rivers was forced to make when COVID hit, since his previous company taught all in person events - so this conversation is one of adapting, pivoting, and responding to change.… Something Rivers is NO stranger to!He’s been an entrepreneur for over 20+ years and has learned a thing or two about what it REALLY takes to succeed.In this episode, Rivers and I discuss…How he was able to start a Chef Talent Agency, even though he’s not a chef (& how you can do the same)Why it’s important to look for the opportunity or lesson in every challengeHow taking care of yourself is actually priority #1 as a business ownerThe books that he recommended all new busi

Today, I’m sitting down with Niyanta (Niya) KhatriShe grew up in Kathmandu Nepal, found her way to Silicon Valley to work in Tech, and most recently landed in Toronto to continue her work with a company called LogiTech.On top of that, she is the cofounder of a new digital connectivity platform for womxn that connects them with other womxn from around the world for mentorship and support.Above all though, Niya is someone who is driven to succeed despite any challenges that get in her way. As an international minority, a person of colour, a woman in tech and millennial she is relentless about ensuring that none of these things will hold her back along her journey, or in the journeys of anyone who follows in her same footsteps.She knows that as she is able to push through the ranks, she’ll then be able to turn back and lend a hand to others who need her allyship and support.I’m deeply inspired and humbled by this awesome conversation, so without further ado let’s get into it with Niya Kathri.http://kelseyreidl.c

Jana Webb is the creator of the wildly popular JOGA World: The governing body of Yoga for Sport; NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, MLS and Olympics.In addition to being the founder of a wildly popular strength -based Yoga Method for athletes, Jana is also a fighter, a resilient mom, an entrepreneur, and an unstoppable visionary who has pushed through numerous setbacks and challenges in her life.One of those setbacks was a life or death car accident that happened in the Dominican Republic which left her body broken, just a mere few days after she had signed a million dollar lease for her first physical JOGA Studio in Toronto.It’s hard to imagine how she could have possibly persevered through a broken back & a traumatic brain injury in order to continue to bring her dream fitness studio to life, but she did.What started as a curiosity in how she could bring Yoga to athletes has turned into a journey beyond what she could have imagined.Simply following her inner voice when it felt confusing has brought her to a place

You can follow a recipe line by line, and it can still turn out wrong. Whether you’re baking a new bread recipe, putting together an Ikea Bed Frame or launching a brand new online course – things don’t always work out perfectly.And that’s life.I think it’s safe to say that we all know that feeling of disappointment when things don't go according to plan. You work so hard on something, put your heart and soul into it, and then it falls flat. It can be disheartening, but it's important to remember that these setbacks are a normal part of life. Every successful person has experienced their share of failures– including Sara Monika, a Wedding Photographer, Educator and Host of The Shine & Thrive Podcast.The key is to learn from these experiences and use them to make you stronger and more resilient. This is something that Sara and I discuss at length inside of this podcast episode.So if you want to hear from a Business Owner who has BEEN THROUGH IT ALL, you’re going to love this convo with my friend Sara Monika
