What if you could take an idea and turn it into a website with more than 12 million visitors a month and a powerful global community? That's exactly what today’s guest, Jason Wachob, did. He is the founder of Mind Body Green, one the web's top wellness websites, featuring thousands of articles, a growing catalog of courses, contributors that include many of the top voices in medicine, nutrition and movement, and a huge global community. This is the second time Jason has been a guest on Good Life Project. He first appeared on the web-series in October 2013. At that point, he shared his powerful story of leaving a career in finance to reclaim his health and found his company. MindBodyGreen was just starting to break out in a big way. Since then, it has exploded. The team has grown in size, they inhabit new offices and Jason's had the chance to dive deeper into not only what it takes to build a company, but also a culture that walks its own content talk, a community around wellness and a good, vibrant life. He shares his lens on that last question in his new book WELLTH: How I Learned to Build a Life, Not a Resume. In this week's powerful conversation, we explore Jason's unique, culture-focused approach to building not just a company, but a community and a family. We dive into the dance between wanting to do big things and also wanting to be in control of your time, health, relationships and life. We explore the power of love and belief, and what its like to build a life with a partner he also works with. And we talk about his experience growing a venture that exposes him to the top thinkers and practitioners in health, nutrition and fitness and how that's informed his take on the elements of a life well-lived, especially in the context of being a creator, maker, entrepreneur and life-partner. Enjoy the conversation! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • It's actually, like, a little bit ironic, I think, in the wellness community you have so many entrepreneurs who are just so into it, and they push and push and push, and it's like, wait, everyone's getting better off of what I'm doing.

  • But what happened to me?

  • This week's guest is mind body green founder Jason Wacom.

  • And I had a chance to actually sit down with Jason.

  • We actually filmed this in the summer of 2013, and his episode aired in October, I believe, of 2013.

  • And this was back when we were.

  • Our format was primarily a video series.

  • We had this amazing conversation.

  • He was at a point where he had built this media and health company, and it was just starting to tip.

  • It was just starting to get tremendous traction.

  • In the last two and a half years, the company has kind of exploded.

  • The brand has grown incredibly.

  • Their reach and their impact has grown into this global behemoth.

  • The website alone gets something like 15 million unique visitors month.

  • They have all sorts of powerful educational programs.

  • And it was really fun to be able to sit down with him again and really just kind of trace the last two and a half years and see how the company grew and also how he has evolved and changed and how he's built community within his organization.

  • He is also the author of a great new book called wealth, and that's actually not spelled w e a l t h, it's w e l lth.

  • And it's really his lens on his guiding philosophy in building mind body green and on living a good life.

  • So I thought it was a really fun moment to revisit the conversation with him and dive into that philosophy a bit and share in some of his stories.

  • So really excited to share this conversation with you.
