    Jen Govier | The Hustle and Grind Podcast - EP. 22

    Hey there! The Camels called. . .they want their Toes back!🐪😎 Jen Govier is here, creator and founder of HUX! Jen has done so much more than creating a product and an amazing business that solves a problem,. . .she is creating a movement that is about so much more! It's about inspiring women to live and move with more confidence! It all started when Jen caught sight of her camel toe while working out, and her own embarrassment put her on a mission to solve this problem for all women. After searching the market Jen realized that the perfect Camel Toe concealing underwear just didn’t exist. A first attempt to solve for this, with an insert tucked into her undies at the gym ended with the fitness instructor asking if “it” belonged to anyone in class. . .Oops. . .maybe the insert needed to be stitched into the undies? What an incredibly inspiring conversation we have with Jen, and her journey to have the courage to leave her big corporate career, to follow her dream and passion of starting her own company, and being called to do something bigger to do "meaningful work" that you love! For those who are thinking of starting a business, have a side gig, or even wondering what to do with their idea, this episode is for you! We discuss some of what's involved in patenting a product, and the steps to take of surrounding yourself with, and connecting with the right people! Jen got Trish Stratus (WWE Superstar), to be an ambassador of her product and business, which she talks about! We can't wait for you to check this out!!

    Scott Moir | The Hustle and Grind Podcast - EP. 21

    We are thrilled to have special guest and 5X Olympic Medalist on the show, Scott Moir!! At PyeongChang 2018, Scott Moir and partner Tessa Virtue became the most decorated figure skaters in Olympic history. Winning gold medals in both the ice dance and team events, they are the first figure skaters to own five career Olympic medals. Virtue and Moir produced one of their best seasons ever in 2016-17, going undefeated en route to their third career world title. Included in that was their first ever win at the ISU Grand Prix Final as they enjoyed a successful comeback after a two-year hiatus from competition. They had taken a break to perform solely in tours and exhibitions after winning two silver medals at Sochi 2014 in the ice dance event and as part of the inaugural Olympic team event. The Moir family has always been heavily involved in figure skating… Mother Alma and her twin sister Carol are both coaches at the Ilderton Skating Club. The Moir family has always been heavily involved in figure skating… Mother Alma and her twin sister Carol are both coaches at the Ilderton Skating Club. At first wanted to skate faster for hockey to fulfil his dream of being Joe Sakic and winning the Stanley Cup but he realized he didn’t have the hands for hockey… First teamed with Virtue by his aunt Carol when she was seven and he was nine…  At the beginning, the two were so shy that they didn’t talk to each other while skating. Today we talk to Scott about his journey as an Olympic athlete, protecting and managing the personal brand that himself and Tessa had grown, surrounding yourself with the right people and constantly innovating. Scott brings all that he learned through to his new professional journey as the Head Coach and Managing Director of the new Ice Academy of Montreal campus in Southwestern Ontario, located in London, Ontario. What an episode that you won't want to miss!

    Barbara Olsthoorn | The Hustle and Grind Podcast - EP. 19

    Today we have Barbara Olsthoorn on the show!! Barbara is the owner of 3 businesses in London's Covent Garden Market! The Piping Kettle Soup Co., The Better Blend Smoothie Bar and C'est Cheez Artisan Sandwiches (making some of the best grilled cheese sandwiches you will ever have!!) What a journey Barbara has had that we are able to explore and learn so much from. Coming to London to study photography, but quickly realizing she wanted to do other things, and began to explore other career opportunities outside of photography. Barbara started working for a smoothie business in the Covent Garden Market (owned by the family who owns The Piping Kettle Soup Co), and Barbara quickly became an integral part of the family of businesses, implementing operations and systems that helped the company run more streamlined. Eventually the opportunities of ownership with the smoothie business became available and Barbara jumped at the opportunity! This is a conversation about working hard and being dedicated and opportunities will come, but also creating your own opportunities through that hard work and dedication. We talk about the importance of being a business owner who is on the front-line, talking to your customers and understanding what your customers truly want, not what you think they want! We talk about trust, building a team, managing three businesses and the true grit and grind it takes to build a successful business. We also discuss how supportive the Covent Garden Market has been with Barbara, to support her ideas and business ventures and entrepreneur spirit. We loved this positive and inspiring conversation, as Barbara really let us into the details of her journey! Please enjoy, Barbara Olsthoorn! Now streaming on ALL PLATFORMS 🎧
