We are here today to talk with a power couple, Jason and Colleen Wachob, co-founders of MindBodyGreen. Recently, I was in New York for press on The Abstinence Myth and was able to meet up with them to record this interview. Jason and Colleen work together, similarly to us — and together on their platform, garner over a million visitors every single month. They have an incredible story that starts with a basketball injury, which leads to a beautiful discovery of where their true passions lie. It was an honor to hear about it all today and learn about how that passion became a business. A key idea that I loved from this episode with this idea of appreciating the values that your partner brings to the table and letting them flourish. It’s important in a relationship to find a place to meet in the middle, so you are able to complement and offset each other — just as Colleen and Jason do in their work together. In this episode, we learn a lot of tips and tools from them on this subject — so whether or not you’re in a relationship, we recommend you tune in!
