If a business is feasible, reachable, and valuable, it's considered a good lifestyle business. This means that the brand understands what its customers want, knows how to connect with them, and can satisfy their needs by offering them value for their money. On the other hand, if a business is scalable, durable, and sellable, then it is considered worthy of investment. These characteristics mean that the brand has the potential to grow into the future, increase its value and maintain a good position to compete with large brands.

Apple Podcasts Rate and Review for SpotOn Wade Millward is the Founder of rikor, a next-generation digital insurtech company that integrates insurance requirements directly to their platform to offer real-time insurance policy monitoring services. His goal in founding the company was to simply reduce the risk for franchisors through instant insurance verification. He believes certificates of insurance are risky, can be easily manipulated, and offer zero security for the franchisor, and decided to design a system that helps bypass all of these problems. Wade also represents Millward Agency, an insurance company started by his grandfather and is currently led by his father. Wade joins us today to share how rikor helps mitigate risks with the use of real-time technology and other innovations. He shares his experience with serving in an LDS mission, the lessons he learned from that experience, and the idea that led to founding his company. He discusses the security problems associated with certificates of insurance and why he believes these certificates are practically useless. He explains why he started the company amidst the pandemic and how you can be a good leader in a tumultuous time. Wade also describes his thoughts on technology in the industry, especially with how it manages risk. "One of the most important things in leading a team is empowering people to make mistakes for the pursuit of innovation." - Wade Millward Today on Spot On Insurance: Wade’s time serving in an LDS mission and the culture and lessons he learned. Why we constantly compare ourselves to other people. How Wade found himself joining the insurance industry. Why Wade believes launching a business in the middle of a pandemic was the best decision he has made. How to focus on long term objectives over short term distractions. How rikor helps reassure procedural transparency. Why the certificate of insurance is a false sense of security. Wade's thoughts on technology and how it's changing the way we finance and manage risk. What it means to think beyond the box and how we can connect different boxes. How to lead a team going into 2021. Key Takeaways: The hardest thing about starting a company is making a name. Don’t let a pandemic stop you from making your dreams a reality.

So, what do multiple bodybuilders who have previously been on The Entrepology Podcast have in common? It is that nearly all of them, following a period of intense competition, saw a massive deterioration of their health. Now think about this: these are athletes performing at their highest level. They're at the most optimized state of physical physique — and yet, their body is falling apart on the inside. Today I am joined by Wade Lightheart. Wade is a former Mr. Universe competitor, a 3X Canadian Bodybuilding Champion, and the co-founder and Director of Education for Biooptimizers. Wade is also the host of his podcast, The Awesome Health Podcast. And all around, he's just an absolute wealth of knowledge! He's highly articulate and extremely well-researched in the areas of health optimization. In fact, it was Wade's own journey — one through watching his sister move through deteriorated health — and then his own (coming out of his bodybuilding period) that really encouraged him to delve deep into exploring this issues. What was really enjoyable about today's conversation with Wade was the way in which he was able to weave — not only a philosophical perspective on health — but some tangible research-focused elements into our conversation that related to biohacking from the inside-out. So much of Wade's work focuses on the gut and digestive health issues — because, even as Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago, all health starts in the gut. So, for anyone who's interested in taking their health to the next level, understanding how to optimize your digestive health is where things absolutely must start! And there's no better person to get us started on that conversation than Wade Lightheart himself! Key Takeaways: [1:38] About today's episode! [3:41] Welcoming Wade to the podcast! [3:48] How did Wade get to where he is, right now, today? [5:10] Is it common in the bodybuilding industry for bodybuilders to focus more on their physical physique rather than their health from the inside-out? [7:37] Was it Wade's work in bodybuilding and his own health crisis that led him to do the work that he does now? [8:49] When was Wade's ‘aha moment' of realizing the gut was the root cause of all the downstream effects he had been seeing in his own health and others? [10:37] The key metrics Wade wants people to look at in order to measure their health. [12:47] When Wade is working with some with respect to gut health, where does he start with them? And what is the process he takes them through to get them back on track? [23:01] Wade shares his thoughts on the attention people get from being sick. [26:50] How Wade defines health. [27:15] Wade speaks about some of the interventions on how to begin remedying gut issues and restore optimal digestion. [31:26] Should we be supplementing enzymes?
