This was seriously from fear to there. I’ll share how I built this online fitness business from the ground up.
Before you dive in: there were tears.
Oh, I had big dreams, and I had no fear of rolling up my sleeves. But I was a midwestern girl from an upper middle income family in a conservative small town in the middle of the midwest.
I had no parents engrossed in entrepreneurship or sales. They and I thought I had “made it” when I began teaching at the university. Stable, steady, benefits.
Wasn’t that the goal?
Well for me there was always a desire for more and wondering what was on the other side. What was it like to have a more flexible work life and be in charge of the speed at which you did things?
My Guest:
Joe Huff and his business partner Bridget Hilton are obsessed with experiences. As keynote speakers, co-authors of the book Experiential Billionaire and Treasure Maps card game, and self-proclaimed experiential guinea pigs, they are passionate about inspiring people to live intentional, regret-free lives by going after audacious goals. They’ve trained to be samurais, danced with the northern lights, tracked silverback gorillas in a hail storm, stood face-to-face with a hungry lion on safari, visited 50+ countries and all 50 states, absorbed life lessons from Maasai Mara tribesmen, built schools for kids in need, and explored the experiential riches life has to offer.
Questions we answer in this episode:

One of the things few of us show on social media is the struggle. We get right to the good stuff and don’t share our low points. They’re the curated images that have been air-brushed or full makeup and a “thin” day.
When you consider how I built this online fitness business, you’ll understand it was ugly and hard and one of the hardest things is no one talks about the mental struggle. Again, we just pretend it was always this way.
If I share the good, I think I owe it to you and to me to share the bad, don’t you agree?
