“Stop thinking and start doing! Fear and self doubt come when you’re thinking, not when you’re doing.” - Adi ArezziniAdi Arezzini is co-founder and CEO of Teami, a lifestyle brand centered around using all-natural, plant-based ingredients - like premium loose-leaf teas - to help customers live happier, healthier lives. Teami’s product line ranges from wellness blends to tea-infused skincare.From a young age, Adi was taught the benefits of holistic health and plant-based eating by her health-conscious mother. At 19, Adi served as a combat trainer for the Israel Defense Force, and later, after returning home to Florida, qualified as a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified personal trainer. After years of life in the army barracks, Adi realized her gut wasn’t functioning properly, due to a lack of access to quality nutrition. Despite trying different diets, supplements and more, nothing seemed to help with her lagging digestive system, inability to go to the bathroom and painful bloating.Soon Adi began experimenting with loose leaf tea blends as a natural remedy. These high quality teas Adi made uncovered the root of her problem: an excess of toxins built up in her digestive tract. After realizing her “secret sauce” blend also solved similar digestion issues with her friends, Adi saw the potential and began looking to different varieties of tea to combat other common issues: fatigue, depleted immune system, stress and insomnia. Researching, creating, blending and sourcing these teas wasn’t just a passion for Adi, it because her purpose and, soon, her expertise.At just 23, Adi created Teami in her mother’s bedroom. She saw Teami as a way to help people becom ehealthier and happier, with teas to solve everyday issues.Today, Adi has since grown the lifestyle tea brand to include tea-infused beauty oils and green tea mask + scrub. Teami is quickly outgrowing their 13,000 square foot office-warehouse hybrid located in Seminole, Florida and is sold nationally at Ulta Beauty, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Vitamin World, Riley Rose and more as well as online at www.teamiblends.com We explore these hot topics!The importance of consistency & getting into actionHow leadership skills develop over timeWhat she looks for in new hires Tackling your to-do list with a solid win firstWhat she’s learned throughout 5 years of growing her businessAnd why you need to GO ALL IN!Try Teami Blends!We have a special offer for Art of Podcast listeners.

This week on the Art of Doing Podcast, Hilary sits down with our Hatch Tribe Mentor of the Month & leading sales coach, Kim Orlesky. If you’ve ever uttered the words, “I’m not good at sales!”, you’re not alone, but you’re also not hopeless. Kim helps entrepreneurs and small businesses create better sales processes so they can build thriving businesses. 3 Key Points in this Episode: Pricing should be aligned to the value you’re giving to our clients, not just the amount of time you’re working on the project. Sales is not something you do to someone. It’s something you do with someone. You don’t grow your business unless you put faith in other people to help you get there. In 2006, after graduating from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance, Kim started her sales career with Xerox Canada. She quickly learned the art of negotiation, created solutions that made her customers more profitable, and then moved on to selling medical-grade cosmetic lasers and later enterprise payment solutions for American Express Canada. In 2014, she had a moment. After working for several years, building her career in corporate sales, she realized her happiness was tied in extrinsic form. She decided it was time to live her own dream. Within a matter of weeks she left her role as a National Account Executive, sold her house, and went backpacking around the world – solo. She traveled to 17 countries across four continents over the course of 6 months. During that time, her daily blog increased in readership and had been read 10,000 times and Kim wrote two books "Finding (My)Self (Love): One Girl’s Journey Across 17 Countries Across 4 Continents in 6 Months" and "How to Be a Nomad." Upon returning, Kim realized it wasn’t that she disliked sales, it was that she wanted to help even more people. She wanted to show more businesses the right way to connect with people and create lasting relationships. Today Kim is listed as one of the top sales leaders to follow, Startup Canada's Woman Entrepreneur, Success Magazine’s most inspirational blogger, and soon to be three-time author. She expands her presence with international speaking, including speaking at North America’s largest entrepreneurial event, Inbound, alongside Brené Brown and Michelle Obama. Her upcoming events include a 25,000 person audience in Dallas, TX next to Grant Cardone, Tony Robbins, and a handful of other sales leaders. Quotable Moment: “Play bigger! It’s takes as much work to go after a $50,000 deal as it does to go after a $2,000 deal. If you want to play a big game, play a big game. Don’t wait until you have enough experience. You will never be ready. People will buy on your potential.” ~ Kim Orlesky --- To connect with Kim Orlesky visit: Website LinkedIn To connect with Hilary Johnson & Hatch Tribe: Website Members Circle Instagram Facebook --- Want More?
