In this episode, we explore how to create space for wellness in life and business. Our guest is Christian Chasmer, Partner and COO at Vessel (Vesselhealth.com) and best-selling author of two books (Lose the Limits and Elevated). We have seven mantras from this episode: Mantra #1: Wellness is about giving people tools, education, , and support for behavior change. Mantra #2: Conscious businesses do not follow the “if you build it, they will come” mindset. Instead, a careful (customer) discovery and validation phase is essential. Mantra #3: Customer validation really happens at the moment when people hand over their credit card # (a pre-order), not when they simply say “yes” to a conceptual idea. Mantra #4: A conscious wellness business is about solving a key problem for a consumer and creating a transformation for them in their lives. Mantra #5: The most important word in marketing is “you”. Mantra #6: Conscious wellness businesses walk the talk. Christian shares how Vessel supports their employees with daily meditation and other wellness and spiritual practices. Mantra #7: Step away from the desk. Often our best ideas come in the shower, on a walk, or when we are allowing the space for inspiration to flow.
