Natali Villaruel, Khadijah Diggs, Erin Hamilton and John Young Discuss Triathlon and the Obstacles that threatened to Keep Them out
I was speaking with someone over the weekend and I mentioned the theme of the #Sweatworking Summit: equity and inclusion in wellness.

How Dustin Kendrick of The Bachelorette Has Turned His Passion for Philanthropy Into A Career
When Dustin Kendrick first graced your television screen on Season 15 of The Bachelorette, you probably noticed his fantastic suit choices, his eye-catching nose ring, and the fact that he managed to stay out of the drama while making it pretty far in the season (a sure sign that he was well-liked by all).

Shanna Missett Nelson, President of Jazzercise on building a fitness business to last
Shanna Missett Nelson's childhood was probably a little different than the average kid. "I grew up just thinking that every mom put on a leotard and tights several times a day and ran out the door to teach a bunch of women who really adored them exercise," she said of her mom Judi Sheppard Missett, founder of Jazzercise. And if you heard the recent episode of How I Built This with Guy Raz (one of our favorite podcasts besides #WeGotGoals, obviously) featuring Judi Sheppard Missett, you heard a...
