In the second half of this episode, the conversation with Jordan Hill deepens and leads into this year’s Energize and Elevate Summit.

Jordan shares the vision behind this powerful summit, created to bring together an inspiring community of business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are focused on growth, alignment, and personal well-being. This year’s summit features an incredible lineup of guest speakers, including keynote speaker Alex Green, along with voices we have proudly featured on our show such as Allie Virtue and Devin Grogan, with additional speakers rounding out an already impactful experience.

This conversation reinforces an important truth for business owners and entrepreneurs. As your business grows, your health must remain a priority. You cannot fully show up for what you are building if you are not taking care of yourself along the way. Energize and Elevate is designed to help individuals stay grounded, present, and aligned so they can lead with clarity, purpose, and balance.

These events are designed for business owners who are building, growing, and striving to maintain a healthy lifestyle while navigating the demands that come with entrepreneurship.

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the reminder that when you are a business owner, your health is just as important as your hustle. Jordan speaks to the importance of maintaining routines, mindset, and alignment as your business grows, and how surrounding yourself with the right people creates stability, grounding, and long-term success.

This episode highlights what it truly takes to balance ambition with wellness, and why caring for yourself is essential to sustaining both your business and your purpose.
