    The Courage to Reinvent: Aracely Melendez on Building a Business with Purpose

    Buying a staffing business at the start of COVID sounds like a bold bet. For Aracely Melendez, it became the beginning of a journey shaped by resilience, purpose, and a commitment to her community. In this episode Michael welcomes Aracely Melendez, an El Paso native and franchise owner who left a 16-year career in education to acquire a staffing agency in April 2020—just as the world shut down. She shares how she navigated uncertainty, kept pursuing clients when doors were closed, and built a business that helps people find work and support their families. Aracely also reflects on the lessons she’s learned about entrepreneurship, from preparing for the hard work of wearing every hat to staying focused on what she can control. She discusses community engagement, supporting and developing her team, and making space for family while building a business. Whether you’re considering a career change, thinking about starting a business, or looking for a more people-centered approach to leadership, this conversation offers an honest look at what it takes to keep going—and why purpose can make the hard work worthwhile.

    How Two Triathletes Built a Better Bar for Endurance Fueling with Matt Schuster

    Most protein bars are built for the wrong athlete. In this episode, Sean welcomes Matt Schuster, co-founder of ADRA, about the overlooked gap in sports nutrition that led them to build a bar for long-course athletes, triathletes, and anyone who needs real fuel without gut drama. What started as a casual run turned into a deep partnership grounded in product science, endurance performance, and a very specific mission: make nutrition that actually works when your body is under load. You’ll discover why the market’s obsession with ultra-high protein, ultra-low calorie snacks misses the mark for endurance athletes, how protein oxidation during long training sessions changes the recovery equation, and why leucine matters more than most people realize. If you care about endurance, recovery, or just finding nutrition that doesn’t wreck your stomach, this episode is packed with practical insight.
