This is a special bonus episode swap with the excellent woman hosted, women's sports podcast Hear Her Sports. Every other Thursday, Hear Her Sports host Elizabeth Emery brings you long-form interviews with women athletes and women in the sports world. Elizabeth is an excellent interviewer and her conversations are always engaging and informative. I particularly love the way she brings listeners into world of the person she's talking to, bringing out the reasons they're so passionate about their pursuits as well as details about what it takes to do what they do so well. And I always find useful takeaways I can apply to my own athletic adventures and to life in general. The featured Hear Her Sports episode features Jenny Nguyen, founder of the Sports Bra. The episode as described by Hear Her Sports: Jenny Nguyen picked up a basketball right around the same time she put down her milk bottle. From an early age, people called her a tomboy. Instead of playing with dolls and wearing dresses, she climbed trees and rode bikes. But most of all, she loved to play basketball. That love shaped her whole identity and helped her to fit in all the way through high school. When she was 19 years old in her first year playing college ball at Clark College, Nguyen ruptured her ACL. She was devastated by the career-ending injury, but stumbled upon a newfound passion: cooking. She cooked all through college, first for her roommate, then for the whole floor and then for the entire dorm. She landed her first kitchen job at age 22 and fell in love with the craft all over again. After graduating from college, Nguyen enrolled at the Western Culinary Institute in downtown Portland. There she graduated from the expedited program while working full time at a couple of fine dining restaurants. When she was in the kitchen, Nguyen was in her element. The zone. The basketball court and the kitchen have been the only two places she has ever felt like she belonged. Later, she realized that both those places are very male-dominated and that she had struggled, endured and found success in her own way. She went on to work her way up in kitchens for another 15 years, with the last four years as an executive chef at Reed College for Bon Appétit Management Company.

Jenny Nguyen picked up a basketball right around the same time she put down her milk bottle. From an early age, people called her a tomboy. Instead of playing with dolls and wearing dresses, she climbed trees and rode bikes. But most of all, she loved to play basketball. That love shaped her whole identity and helped her to fit in all the way through high school. When she was 19 years old in her first year playing college ball at Clark College, Nguyen ruptured her ACL. She was devastated by the career-ending injury, but stumbled upon a newfound passion: cooking. She cooked all through college, first for her roommate, then for the whole floor and then for the entire dorm. She landed her first kitchen job at age 22 and fell in love with the craft all over again. After graduating from college, Nguyen enrolled at the Western Culinary Institute in downtown Portland. There she graduated from the expedited program while working full time at a couple of fine dining restaurants. When she was in the kitchen, Nguyen was in her element. The zone. The basketball court and the kitchen have been the only two places she has ever felt like she belonged. Later, she realized that both those places are very male-dominated and that she had struggled, endured and found success in her own way. She went on to work her way up in kitchens for another 15 years, with the last four years as an executive chef at Reed College for Bon Appétit Management Company.

Sanctuary Bistro is located in Charlotte, NC in the Ballantyne area and Woman-Owned by Jennifer Horton and delicious food by Executive Chef Barry Horton.Jennifer Jones Horton is owner, speaker, writer, front of the house, you name it. If it doesn't involve cooking she has her hands in it. She grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts and has lived in Atlanta, California and now North Carolina. The passion behind Sanctuary Bistro began for Jennifer at age 13. She became concerned about the cruelty and pollution of factory farming when a friend shared a PETA flyer. From there she started buying her own veggie burgers. For a traditional “meat and potatoes” family this was considered"different" and "rebellious." As she continued learning, she slowly stopped eating chicken, eggs, and eventually seafood, out of compassion. It was hard NOT to change once she knew about the cruel treatment that is inflicted on animals. She still feels that if people would open their minds to understanding it they would not choose to hurt something. Her concerns are the effect the meat and dairy industry have on the planet and so Sanctuary Bistro is their solution for making change.Executive Chef Barry Horton is amazing in his culinary skills. Jennifer and Barry are a team at work and in life. He has been the Executive Chef at the Famous Ravens' restaurant in Mendocino Ca. He has been on television with view from the Bay and has had many published articles in Edible, He was also nominated by Veg NEWS 3 years in a row for best vegan restaurant. He always lent a helpful hand in the kitchen growing up. In high school, Barry enrolled in a semester cooking class unaware this would eventually be his life's path.In 2000, Barry began attending culinary courses at Johnson County Community College when he realized, “this is what I love to do.” By 2002, taking things more seriously, Barry decided to take his skills to a French Culinary program. After perusing his options, Barry chose the Le Cordon Bleu program at the Western Culinary Institute in which he graduated at the top of his class. His desire to continue his education learning about an organic, sustainable, vegetarian lifestyle led to his internship at the Ravens' Restaurant of the Stanford Inn in Mendocino, Ca where he quickly worked his way up to co-chef in 2005 and Head Chef in 2006 until October of 2009. During this time, he has learned that a chemical-free, locally grown, plant-based diet is optimal for a long, sound, healthy life, as well as, and most importantly, a compassionate life.Website: www.sanctuarybistro.com Instagram @sanctuarybistroFree Weight Loss Master Class: veganstrongandfit.com/masterclassSave 10% on your order at kingscrowning.com with code STRONGAF10Save 10% on your order of Sea Moss at infiniteage.com with code STRONGAF10Intro Music credit: Never Lose by Chief (P.S.A. album)Support the show

Be proactive. Anticipate their needs.   The importance of systems in your business. Using technology to systematize your business so you can use your time more wisely.  Living the expectations  and standards you set for your staff. Why being condescending, mean, and short with people doesn't pan out in the long-run.  How if you're not happy in a job or just where you are in life in general, make a pivot. Do something about it.  Making all new hires start at the bottom and work there way to the top. They may know how to cook, but do they know your cultures?   Before opening a restaurant in a city you're new to, spend some time working for the best in that city. develop a network, and tie your personal brand to other successful personal brands.  While valuable, staging short-term, is not enough to really absorb and learn from the greats.

In this episode with Jonathan Blakeslee, we discuss doing something better every day, being patient when waiting for good things to happen, how Blakeslee got his start, calmness, focus, presence, following your passion, selling your passion, starting where you can, scaling from wholesale to retail, choosing transformative relationships over transactional relationships, knowing who you are, focusing on who you are, letting your team weigh in on the decision making and creative processes, becoming a person of value, and using small business centers. After serving in the United States Coast Gaurd, Jonathan Blakeslee fell in love with Japnese culture and tea. Upon finishing his service, Blakeslee attended the Western Culinary Institute in Portland Oregan, and would eventually find himself working at the Toa of Tea also located in Portland, OR. Homesickness slowly crept in, and Blakeslee moved bake to the east coast where he would start his own wholesale tea operation, White Heron. Today he has scaled that operation to include 40 seat cafe and White Herons own house-roasted organic coffee.
