Episode SponsorEssentia All Natural Mattresses The mattress that's changing it all! We make the only natural memory foam. It's healthy, sleeps cool and in short, is the perfect organic mattress for your modern family. MyEssentia.com One of Tony's first assignments for Paleo Magazine was to cover the original Paleo f(x) conference and the first person he met in Austin was a fellow Paleo fan named Charissa Talbot. At the time, Charissa had just taken a job working as a virtual assistant for Diane Sanfilippo, whose Balance Bites blog and 21 Day Sugar Detox program had just started to become a little too much for her to handle on her own. They became fast friends and spent much of that weekend fanboying and fangirling over the talks, presentations, workshops, and experiences that defined the original Paleo f(x) event. Fast forward several years later and Tony's still working for Paleo Magazine and Charissa too is still heavily involved in the Paleo community. Her current role as COO for ThePaleoMom.com involves overseeing an entire team of coaches, writers, editors, and social media specialists. She's Dr. Sarah Ballantyne's right hand woman, working behind the scenes to ensure that all the book projects, blog posts, programs, and podcasts featured on ThePaleoMom.com arrive on time, in shape, and ready to rock. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to interview our friend Charissa and to share her story with all of you. Click Here for the full transcript. On today's show, we discuss: - Her pre-paleo diet of bagels, cream cheese, beer, and cigarettes.
- How high intensity exercise helped her cope with a long distance relationship and the death of her brother.
- The Balanced Bites seminar that changed her life and led to her first job in Paleo.
- How to grow a blog into a business.
- The importance of building teams.
- Her advice for becoming a digital nomad, doing what you love, and getting paid for it.
