Entrepreneur Lauren Imparato points out that when something becomes your job, it's no longer a passion—it's something you have to do. Because of this, instead of running away from something, you sometimes should run toward it. Lauren loved her job on Wall Street, and when she left, she was running to a better opportunity. The portrayal of entrepreneurship is that it's a holiday. But in reality, you're constantly working because it's an all-consuming endeavor. You can't take a sick day or a paycheck for granted. Lauren loves it because she's disciplined and will get things done. Ultimately, your clients become your boss. You're solely responsible for handling contracts, collecting payments, and taking care of a team. Lauren shares what you should consider before starting a business on this week's Motivational Mondays. This week you'll learn about Lauren's experience on the trading room floor, why she took a chance on a new career path, and what prepared her to become an entrepreneur.

Like many of the guests on T-Cast Lauren Imparato has an impressive resume. She has worked on Wall Street, been a Morgan Stanley VP, and the founder of health and wellness company I.AM.YOU. She is also the author of the international bestseller, RETOX, which presents a unique and realistic take on health and wellness in real life. Tired of the constant calls for dietary purity, radical changes in lifestyle, constant pushes to seek some sort of perfection in this world, Lauren wanted to offer something else. Something for regular people who lead normal lives with jobs and family. People for whom always preparing the perfect healthy meal is difficult and whose lives exclude the possibility of spending hours a day doing…anything other than what is needed for the present moment can wrap their heads around. The kind of diet and lifestyle changes most health and fitness people recommend are just not sustainable in the long term for most people. Whether it's a vegan diet, keto, carnivore, no TV, etc, these things are all but impossible to keep up for more than a few weeks or months for the vast majority of people who are mostly concerned with getting bills paid and having a bit leftover. The fact is that the present climate of the health and wellness world fuels a boom and bust cycle that in turn feeds into the already high levels of stress and anxiety experienced by the modern westerner. Lauren wrote RETOX to remind people that it's okay to enjoy life a little bit. To go out dancing and have a steak from time to time. She's sort of like the Ramones of the health world, sick of the normal and here to shake things up. This applies to the way Lauren looks at data as it is used in the health and wellness industry. We have tons of apps and devices that collect data that pertains to our health. Mostly, all they do is spit out a number, something that doesn't usually matter to our overall health. How many steps you got, how much you slept last night, your current heart rate. For the most part, they don't really tell you what you might have done wrong and certainly not how you can make it better, not without selling you a mess of supplements and programs you may or may not need. In fact, her focus really isn't on what you should take out of your life but on what you should add in from one day to the next. That's because what you need to be healthy, both mentally and physically, might vary from one day to the next. The only real principles are that we need to move, eat, and connect with someone emotionally. Some days that's a trip to the gym, a steak, and calling mom; others, it might be a walk through the park, a salad, and a date night with your spouse. You have to listen to yourself a bit and figure out what is needed each day. It's important to understand that this is not some new version of finding the right ‘work/life' balance. Striving to find some mythical perfect balance only tends to fuel the anxiety and winds up being counterproductive. After all, some days will require a twelve-hour day at work, others only six. You have to be a little flexible and willing to roll with the punches a bit. And of course, if you are focusing too much or not enough on work you will need to swing the other direction a bit. If you are paying attention to what you and those around you need you will self-correct before things get too out of whack and damaging. The full interview with Lauren was fascinating and I strongly recommend you head over to T-Cast to check out her thoughts on technology, the issues with the alternative medicine world, and the importance of taking responsibility for yourself.

There's the cliché of leaving Wall Street to become a Yoga instructor. And then there's actually doing it. As a young salesperson at Morgan Stanley, Lauren Imparato put her entrepreneurial prowess on display winning over both clients and bosses. Initially, Lauren immersed herself in yoga, nutrition, and meditation to help manage the daily grind - hiding it from her colleagues to avoid the "weirdo hippy girl" look. But the push to start her own business eventually overtook her and she went on to create RETOX, a wellness brand, Yoga studio, and best-selling book. We discuss mixing business and passion, using social media to build a brand, and the dangers of entrepreneurship as a form of escapism. + Full Shownotes: bit.ly/RadAwakenings + Join the RAD community: http://RadReads.email
Touched by the financial crisis of 2008, Lauren Imparato resigned from her job as a 20-something Vice President at Morgan Stanley to launch Retox, a lifestyle company and yoga studio in New York City. Since opening, Lauren has become revered as one of the globe’s top yoga, wellness and lifestyle experts, uniting the ancient Tibetan and Indian Hindu philosophies of yoga with modern day life as the basis of her teachings and writings in yoga, self-help, nutrition, and more. She has lead classes for 3,000 people outdoors in Barcelona, Madrid, Panama, and New York City, as well as for opening weekend in Ibiza and at the Cannes Film Festival. In February 2016 Lauren introduced her first book, RETOX: Healthy Solutions for Real Life. In RETOX Lauren shares common sense nutrition, practical mindset skills, and a brand of yoga she personally designed for her hundreds of devoted clients. Learn. Create.

Aired Wednesday, 15 March 2017, 3:00 PM ET Retox with Lauren Imparato Join us for this “WISDOM WEDNESDAY” at 12pm PST / 1PM MT / 2pm CST/ 3pm EST on INSPIRED LIVING RADIO as we welcome special guest, Lauren Imparato. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/inspired-living/ OM TIMES INTERNET RADIO CALL-IN LINE: 1-202-570-7057 TOPIC: Retox, Turning Your Passion Into Your Career, Integrity and Entrepreneurship Lauren never anticipated that yoga would become part of her daily life. In fact, she hated it. A California girl raised on athletic fields, basketball courts, and in swimming pools, she travelled east for the classrooms of Princeton, and after graduating moved to New York for life as a young Wall Street Professional. She turned to yoga only as an experimental diversification of her Manhattan treadmill workouts. She soon realized that with regular practice, on and off the mat, yoga and its underlying lessons can change you from the inside out, as well as from the outside in. After the Financial Crisis of 2008, Lauren realized that she could provide what all hard working urbanites need and spend countless hours looking for, but never find – a one stop shop for their aching bodies craving proper nourishment, sweat, and stretch, and their stressed, anxious, occasionally overwhelmed minds. In the Spring 2009, Lauren resigned her job as a Vice President at Morgan Stanley to launch precisely that, via I.AM.YOU. Since, Lauren has become revered as one of the globe’s top lifestyle, wellness and yoga experts, profiled on CNN, Bloomberg, Vogue, Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar UK, The Financial Times, New York Magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Marie Claire Spain, El Pais, El Mundo, NY1 Television, TVE, the London Financial News, Poder Latin America, and Jezebel, just to name a few. Lauren’s yoga classes have been named ‘New York’s Best’ and her teaching as ‘Top of NYC Instructors.’ Her blog has been selected by tumblr of one of the world’s best 15 blogs to follow on fitness, health and lifestyle, placing I.AM.YOU. and author Lauren Imparato in their coveted Spotlight section. Lauren has acquired the aforementioned profiles and over two hundred additional items press, a testimony to her innate allure. In February 2012 Lauren was selected to lead yoga at Escape for Good, a three day long event in honor of Muhammad Ali’s seventieth birthday, alongside Andre Agass, Steffi Graf, Mia Ham, Alonso Mourning, Tony Hawk, and many other all-stars. She has lead classes for 1000-3000 people outdoors in Barcelona, Madrid, Panama, and New York City, as well as for opening weekend in Ibiza and at the Cannes Film Festival. Lauren unites the ancient Tibetan and Indian Hindu philosophies of yoga with modern day real life as the basis of her teachings and writings in yoga, self help, nutrition, and more. Her realistic, straight up, modern approach has made her a cult favorite for urbanites in the know. She is fluent in three languages, has lived, studied, and worked across the globe, and carries little Cali, and a lot of NYC wherever she goes. She is a graduate of Princeton University and is the author of her book Retox.
