I had the pleasure of interviewing an incredible entrepreneur, Kimmye Bohannon. She is one of the founders of The Weekly Juicery. Kimmye has completely made it in the juicing industry and built a fabulous business by being steadfast in acknowledging that she is not there to make things taste good, but to make you feel amazing. She has been consistent in setting the highest possible standard in terms of what she creates and puts out there. This episode we get right into the nitty-gritty of juicing. We talk about the benefits of juicing vs. smoothies vs. just eating your vegetables whole. We also talked all about how to take the grinds, fiber, and clean up — all the components of juicing that dissuade us — and turn them into some really incredible ideas in your kitchen. If you’ve ever looked at juicing and tried to understand how it helps you and how to include it in your weekly routine — then this interview is for you!

Tweetables: “When I’m a results-driven entrepreneur as opposed to a time-trading entrepreneur it meant that I had to completely shift up how I spent my time, how I reinvigorated myself, and how I engaged my brain.” — Meghan Walker “The thing about play and the reason why I ask about it is that it is fundamentally, by virtue of what it does to our physiology, the opposite of depression.” — Meghan Walker “Play is a concept that I feel like we frequently overlook or we stick into a corner — and yet it plays such a fundamental role in how we live our lives and how we conduct ourselves as leaders.” — Meghan Walker “Play not only has this profound impact on our day-to-day physiology but it actually can have a profound impact on our longitudinal physiology.” — Meghan Walker “Rather than seek balance at all times in terms of how we work and how we hang out with family – we need to work less on creating balance between these boundaries and work more on simply building a life that is consistent and congruent with our values. How is it that you want to live?” — Meghan Walker
