At Winfluence, we like to talk to people who have multiple perspectives on the influencer marketing space. Someone who is an influencer but who also does marketing consulting and understands having to select and manage other influencers for brands. Or someone on the brand side who makes those decisions, but is also an influencer for some interest of theirs.  Kelly Olexa brings more than a couple of perspectives to the table. She is probably best known for starting Fitfluential, the first real network of fitness influencers. So in that role she was both a fitness influencer, but also a talent manager of sorts, connecting brands and agencies to the influencers in her network. She also has experience on the agency side where she was before Fitfluential, then again as an agency entrepreneur with Socially Fit services. Now Kelly heads up sales and business development for Lumanu, an influencer marketing software company that helps influencers and the brands they partner with white list the influencer’s account with the brand. This enables the brand to put paid spend behind the influencer’s content which turns the influencer marketing channel for the brand into a paid social channel complete with targeting, look a like audiences and beyond. We talk about the opportunity and challenges with Lumanu, her perspective on the influencer marketing space and a whole lot more.

We don't interview a lot of founders or CEO's of companies on this show unless we think that the story behind the development of the product is a lesson for all of us, health-wise, or if the product is a rare exception and we all should know about it because it's picking up traction and the FitFluential community loves it. In this case it's both. Tune in to this interview with Adam Legas to learn more about his fitness journey and his company, Nanohyrdr8.

What does it mean to be a social media influencer? This is a question many of us “OLD SCHOOL” social media pioneers toss around while giggling under our breath. I guess it means you have more than 10,000 followers on the latest social media outlet. But seriously, what is a social media influencer? I want you to meet Kelly Olexa. Kelly is the founder of FitFluential, a nationwide network of highly influential fitness, health and wellness fanatics sharing their journey online via social media. She has also just launched Socially Fit Services with the goal to meet the needs of businesses and individuals struggling with Digital, Social and Influencer Marketing. She is probably the first true social media influencer, starting her journey in 2007 with a $600 camcorder and a YouTube channel. She had zero strategy and just put videos up of her “ramble-on-a-thons” daily and that’s it. No editing. No calls to action. No fancy graphics. Just Kelly, sweaty after her workouts sharing her ups and downs.  Suddenly, she had big brands reaching out to work with her as an ambassador including Sears, Polar heart rate monitors, Nike, even Ford with the Ford Fiesta Movement. From losing her job to working with big brands because of a camcorder and a YouTube channel, Kelly shares her story as one of the first true social media influencers!  Check Out Links Below:FitFluential WebsiteSocially Fit ServicesKelly Olexa’s LinkedIn ProfileFind Me Online:Bobby Rettew TwitterBobby Rettew Portfolio WebsiteIntersection Podcast Twitter 

Gina Badalaty a health blogger and mother of two kids with autism. She is the founder of Embracing Imperfect, a website dedicated to reaching out to moms who are confused on how to raise children with specific disabilities and special needs. She enjoys writing about health and food topics concerning how processed food is made, the dangers of commonly used ingredients, and how food affects our brain, especially a baby's brain.   Gina joins me today to share her insights and ideas regarding what's it like to be a health advocate and a mom of two kids with autism. She discusses the time she realized how food affects the brain and the steps she took to improve her children's lives through diet. She also explains why some foods should not be consumed even if they're labeled “organic” or “natural,” describes how she deals with stress, and why sometimes you can use it as motivation inside the gym.   “Every single thing you eat and drink is really important - not just to your body, but to your brain and how it functions.” - Gina Badalaty   In This Episode, You'll Learn:   When Gina got her passion for fitness. The dietary changes she made for her family. Why she's not fond of dairy especially in America. The specific foods she added to their diet. Her philosophy on dairy, gluten, and soy. How she handles stress eating and what she does in the gym afterward.   Gina Badalaty's Advice to Transform Your Family's Life:   Test and experiment with how your body responds to different foods. Identify your dietary limits. Listen to your body and make adjustments along the way. There's a world of other foods that are delicious and don't contain ingredients that will harm your body. Remember: What you eat today affects how you perform at the gym, and how you feel afterward.   Resources Mentioned:   The Unhealthy Truth by Robyn O'Brien and Rachel Kranz   Connect with Gina Badalaty:   Embracing Imperfect Twitter Facebook Instagram     Optimize Your Hormones!   Are you ready to get fit, feel better and have more energy than ever before?

Dr. Barry Sears is considered the founder of what we refer to as anti-inflammatory nutrition, a diet that is meant to control hormonal and inflammatory responses through specific food and recipes. As a result of his dietary research, he coined the term “Zone Diet,” where the Zone is the state of the body where both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses are balanced. He has authored more than forty scientific publications and holds fourteen U.S. Patents in the areas of hormonal regulation and intravenous drug delivery systems. In this episode, Dr. Barry Sears introduces to us the concept of the Zone Diet and what makes it different from other programs. He explains the science behind the Zone Diet, what inflammation and resolution is and why it's critical to control both. He also shares why he thinks conventional medicine is not sustainable and why we're looking at medicine from an obscure viewpoint.   “The way we practice medicine today is totally unsustainable. No question about it.” Dr. Barry Sears   In this episode, you'll learn: What led him to author the Zone Diet? What exactly is inflammation? How does low-level inflammation lead to disease? What is idiopathic medicine? Parts of the body most prone to inflammation. What is the Zone Diet all about? Common anti-inflammatory drugs. What he would say to those who depend too much on drugs. The type of fat you should be eating. Why we still need to restrict calories regardless of any diet.   Key Takeaways: Our body needs inflammation; the problem lies in not being able to turn it off when needed. More people in America die each year from taking anti-inflammatory drugs than dying from AIDS. The more we treat food like a drug, the less drugs we need to treat the residual symptoms.   Connect with Dr. Sears: Dr. Sears official website Zone Diet The Zone Diet by Dr. Barry Sears   This episode was sponsored by…   HealthIQ uses science and data to secure life insurance for health-conscious people and athletes including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and many more.

Emily Allen is a nutrition coach and owner of Health by Emily, a business that serves to help others lose weight in the healthiest way possible. Like some of her clients, Emily also had body image and health struggles - specifically, she was clinically obese. When she had health issues that doctors said correlate to her weight, she knew something had to change. She did her research, watched documentaries, and studied the science of food and how the body responds to it. Through her determination, she was able to quickly lose over sixty pounds of weight and has since been her own health advocate. Today, Emily shares her struggles with body image, weight gain, and stress. She describes what her life was like before she walked the path to fitness and the events in her life that made her go in that direction. She explains the type of fitness she advocates and why you don't have to avoid processed food to have a fit lifestyle. She also shares her opinion with regards to stress and fertility as well as how she manages her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).   “You can't just go gung-ho and clear out the pantry and replace them with foods no one in the family even likes.” - Emily Allen   In this episode, you'll learn: What made her realize she needed to become fit? How to revolutionize the healthcare industry. Her definition of "processed" food? Her opinion on stress and how it relates to fertility. Her bout with PCOS and how she manages it.     Key Takeaways: Existing doctors need to be educated on new information about health. When you make fitness changes, you have to make them doable.

Heidi Schauster is a nutrition therapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in eating disorders and emotional eating problems. She is also the author of Nourish, a book that aims to guide readers in transforming their eating habits into something positive and self-loving. In addition to nutrition counseling, she provides consultations and lectures in schools and professional groups on the topic of disordered eating.   Heidi joins me today to discuss the concept of disordered eating and how it continues to physically and emotionally damage teens and adults alike. She explains the causes of eating disorders as well as why not everyone who has an issue with food has an eating disorder. She also describes how a person can shift from a negative outlook on food to a positive one, and why punishing yourself because of bad eating habits will only make things worse.     “There's a danger in trying to eat perfectly.” - Heidi Schauster     In This Episode, You'll Learn:   When Heidi became interested in fitness and being healthy. Her thoughts on those who just want to lose weight. How she defines disordered eating. Her advice when it comes to people who are ashamed of their own body. Why you shouldn't see comfort food and nourishing food as two different things. What can act as hurdles in overcoming a bad habit? The first step in becoming a healthier version of yourself. The importance of having variety in our diet.   Key Takeaways:   Sometimes even health coaches contribute to the damage. Weight loss doesn't have to be the focus of movement, but it's definitely connected. We don't always have a diagnosable eating disorder that fits all the criteria. The more you understand yourself, the easier it is for you to become healthy. We want comfort, but we also want nourishment and they aren't really separated.   Connect with Heidi Schauster:   A Nourishing World Book: Nourish Take Back Control Over Your Health Journey!   If you're ready to take control over your health, get the gift that keeps on giving by joining our NEW VIP FitFluential Membership program!

Ivor Cummins and Dr. Jeffry Gerber are the authors of Eat Rich, Live Long, a book centered around how you can achieve optimal health and weight loss through low-carb and keto diets. Ivor is the owner of The Fat Emperor, a blog that details his thoughts and research about what makes a typical diet healthy and occasionally debunks myths about nutrition. Dr. Jeffry Gerber is a board-certified family physician and the owner of South Suburban Family Medicine, a clinic in Littleton, Colorado. He has been providing personalized healthcare since 1993 and is an advocate of adopting low-carb, high fat, Paleo, and Ancestral diets to treat or prevent common illnesses such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.   Ivor and Jeffry join us to share their wisdom regarding the many therapeutic benefits of low-carb and keto diets. They discuss what drove them to promote a low-carb lifestyle and what inspired them to co-author a book. They explain the different ways society and traditional medicine demonized fats in favor of industrially processed carbs, why insulin is one of the best health markers, and why healthy vegetable oils and healthy breads are anything but healthy. They also describe what happens to our body when we're in ketosis and how we benefit from it.   “Being in ketosis is putting your body in a positive state biochemically.” - Ivor Cummins   In This Episode, You'll Learn:   What inspired them to author their new book. Why they promote a low-carb keto diet. How they define low-carb and how it affects the metabolism. Which carbs are considered unhealthy whole grains? How carbs are metabolized in the body. Why insulin is a good determinant of overall health. Why whole wheat products aren't as healthy as they claim to be. The effects of fasting on the body and how a low-carb diet can help. What is the ketogenic approach to eating and what makes it different from other diets? Their thoughts on "calories in, calories out." Why we shouldn't heat polyunsaturated fats. Is canola oil really good for you?   Key Takeaways:   There's no reason for anyone to consume processed vegetable oils. When you go on a hard keto, it's like you're giving yourself a metabolic workout. Most bad things for your health will drive up insulin and insulin resistance. If you deprive yourself of sleep, insulin resistance rises dramatically.   Resources Mentioned:   Low Carb USA   Connect with Ivor Cummins:   The Fat Emperor Widowmaker   Connect with Jeffry Gerber:   Denver's Diet Doctor Eat Rich, Live Long Take Back Control Over Your Health Journey!   If you're ready to take control over your health, get the gift that keeps on giving by joining our NEW VIP FitFluential Membership program!

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a veteran psychologist and author of the book Never Binge Again, a short yet comprehensive guide to controlling emotional eating and food obsession as well as knowing how to achieve your fitness goals. Having been a binge eater before, he relates his own story regarding the vicious emotional cycle of feast and famine and explains how he eventually found the road to recovery. His main drive behind the book was his severe dissatisfaction with what traditional psychology had to offer regarding obesity and emotional eating.   Dr. Glenn Livingston joins me today to share his wisdom and expertise regarding emotional eating, to whom and how it happens, and the steps to recovery. He discusses how the media and the giant food industries are heavily invested in making you eat all the time and how they use psychology to trick people. He also explores the concept of self-flagellation and shame after a binge eating as well as how to forgive yourself.   “When you commit, you have to commit with perfection. If you make a mistake, you have to forgive yourself with dignity.” - Dr. Glenn Livingston   In this episode, you'll learn:   What led Dr. Glenn to start addressing emotional eating and binge eating? His opinions on the food industry and why they're out to promote unhealthy eating. What prompts our brain to make us feel bad after a binge? His story as a binge eater and how he recovered. Foods that get people starting off on a binge. The kind of people who often fall victim to binge eating. How he helps binge eaters recover. The feast and famine cycle and the highs associated with them.   Key Takeaways:   A lot of us eat for comfort. Binge eaters eat to get high with food. Big companies spend billions of dollars to produce and advertise food that finds our bliss point and makes you eat what's not healthy for you. If it was as simple as just exercise and eat appropriately, we'd all be fit. Virtually everybody experiences periods where they eat beyond personal intent. The solution for binge eating is not a week of juice fasting, but regular, sustained reasonable nutrition day in and day out for months.   Connect with Dr. Glenn Livingston:   Never Binge Again Never Binge Again book Facebook   Optimize Your Hormones!   Are you ready to get fit, feel better and have more energy than ever before?

To describe Dave Parsons as a running enthusiast would be an understatement. He has logged over sixteen thousand miles since 2010, ran across nineteen different states, and finished twelve marathons with three of those in the famous Boston Marathon. When he's not running, he represents the Cap City Half Marathon and entices people of all ages to participate in their annual race. In this episode, Dave shares the story of how he fell head over heels with running. He describes his life before he became a runner, why he eventually decided to get serious, and explains the importance of building your self-confidence to achieve your health and fitness goals. He also provides keen insight regarding the psychological aspect of training as well as tips for newbie runners, especially when it comes to footwear.   “You have to get over yourself a little bit. You cannot be afraid to ask people for help.” - Dave Parsons   In this episode, you'll learn: How he first got into fitness. How he became fascinated with running. Peer pressure in fitness and how we should deal with it. How to learn from people who are smarter than you. The importance of getting over being self-conscious. The difference a good pair of shoes can make. Shin splints and how it can damage your entire body. When should you buy new shoes?   Key Takeaways: If you try running and love it, it could be a lifetime of fun. When you're taller you don't really think about whether you weigh much or not. Height can affect performance in sports. If you can find some way to connect with people just on a real level, they won't mind spending a little time with you.   Resources Mentioned: Running, Relationships, and Finding A Workout You Love With Dave Parsons Capital City Half Marathon   Connect with Dave Parsons: DP on the Go Twitter     Take Back Control Over Your Health Journey!   If you're ready to take control over your health, get the gift that keeps on giving by joining our NEW VIP FitFluential Membership program!

Robyn Baldwin is an Alpha Female and works to support women (and also men) in finding work-life harmony. Despite being diagnosed with an incurable disease, she treated it as a blessing in disguise as it allowed her to understand her body more as well as what being healthy is really all about. She also has her own podcast where she interviews other Alpha Females to learn their tips and tricks when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and healthy habits. In this episode, Robyn shares her personal fitness story. She describes what prompted her to find more about her body and why she wasn't fazed when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She explains the difference between a fitness journey and a health journey and why the latter is more holistic. Robyn also provides tips on becoming proactive when it comes to our health.   “Being proactive in health means solving the little pain points before they become massive pain points.” - Robyn Baldwin   In this episode, you'll learn: Robyn's personal fitness story. How she responded to her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Why she thinks she was gifted with MS. The difference between being health conscious a decade ago and today. Her thoughts on cheat days.

Alex Fergus -Sleep Dive Part 2   To a lot of people, Alex Fergus is a health and fitness coach but before all that, he was first a typical rugby fan and a rowing competitor from New Zealand. His fitness enthusiasm eventually made him compete in the world of bodybuilding which gave him his fair share of awards and recognition. Today, Alex will talk about one of FitFluential Radio’s favorite topics: Sleep. He’ll give us the low down on the science behind sleep, how we can optimize our sleeping habits, and his tips on how to reset your circadian rhythm.   "Too many people get caught up with short-term gains even if it comes at the expense of long term benefits and performance.” Alex Fergus   In this episode, you’ll learn: When it comes to weight training, people often sacrifice rest and recovery for short term benefits. Overtraining may lead to quick muscle gains and weight loss but the body will suffer in the long term. One of the dangers of overtraining is adrenal fatigue which can impair your body’s ability to produce testosterone for long term. Sleep is important for just about all the body's processes specially recovery. Melatonin is an important hormone not just for sleep but for overall health and wellness. Low melatonin correlates to chronic diseases which is caused by chronic sleep deprivation. Even acute sleep deprivation can have destructive effects on your body. People ruin their circadian rhythm by using their phones right before they sleep. Technology use or even streetlights can misalign your circadian rhythm. Even sleep aids aren't enough due to hormonal changes that occurred in your body brought upon by circadian misalignment. Being exposed to so much light increases cortisol in the body which in turn "alerts" the body to stay awake despite the sleeping time. One way to reset your circadian rhythm is by going to a nearby park for the weekend, leaving your gadgets in the car, avoid artificial light, use campfire, and sleep when you’re tired.   Key Takeaways: Light is important as soon as you wake up or within the first few minutes of waking up. Expose your body and eyes to AM sunlight. This signals the body to suppress melatonin and produce cortisol, getting you ready for the day right before you’ve even had breakfast.   Connect with Alex Fergus: Alex Fergus Official Alex Fergus Interviews Facebook   Mentioned in this episode: Sound Asleep Course   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show oniTunes.

What kind of topics are worthy of a keynote versus a presentation you would do in a workshop or breakout session? How can you position what you offer so that clients see you as a go-to expert rather than a one-time or infrequent purchase? Both of these questions are key if you’re looking to expand your business and get paid as a speaker. My guest, Danielle Liss, is a lawyer, but don’t worry - she’s not like the attorneys you’ve met at your typical chamber of commerce or networking meeting. Instead, Danielle and her partner have been called “cool lawyers”. That’s because they understand online entrepreneurship and the new economy. In this episode, I help Danielle come up with a messaging strategy to make legal topics less boring and more appealing when she’s pitching to conferences, especially for keynotes, and to podcasts. I also put my business hat on and help Danielle think about a way she can increase her own company’s revenue by offering a new type of service to entrepreneurs who are in a growth stage. We end the episode talking about how and why to track and measure the results of your speaking. About my guest: Danielle Liss is a partner and founder of Hashtag Legal. As former Chief Marketing Officer and General Counsel of FitFluential, an influencer network concentrating on health and wellness initiatives, Danielle has intimate knowledge of the challenges facing influencer networks and social media professionals. Danielle has extensive experience creating and negotiating contracts, interpreting FTC guidelines, and creating website policies. Danielle is also an accomplished speaker and has spoken at dozens of conferences on legal issues related to bloggers and social media professionals. We talk about: How Danielle works with her clients, who include entrepreneurs, influencers, bloggers, and speakers Two key things that should be included in your contracts as a speaker How to position Danielle and her legal business so that it’s not boring or fear-based The current presentation topics Danielle speaks on The difference in content between a keynote and a workshop or breakout session The value proposition we come up with that Danielle can use to appeal to entrepreneurs as they’re growing their companies Finding the right places to pitch (whether conferences or podcasts) that have the best audience for you My recommendation that Danielle not offer prospects free strategy calls and why How and why to track and measure the results of your speaking   Links: Connect with Danielle on her website at http://hashtag-legal.com DIY legal forms at http://www.businessese.com/ LinkedIn = https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielleliss/ Facebook = https://www.facebook.com/hashtaglegallc Twitter = https://twitter.com/danielleliss Join the free Speaking Your Brand community at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/join/.

Make sure that you are going to keep your audience's trust and that it's going to engage. You want to see those shares and the comments.
