In today’s episode, I’m talking to Maddy Keck, the Head of Mentorship at Awakenpedia. Maddy graduated with great honors from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2021 with a Bachelor‘s in Advertising & Branding. She was also the college national competitive equestrian champion individually and as a team rider. After working for a while in her field, she realized the kind of marketing she was doing did not align with her core values. So, at the beginning of 2022, Maddy embarked on a self-discovery journey that took her to new places outside the country and inside herself. After this time, she committed to a life of presence, love, and holistic health. In 2023, after being Chopra certified as a Spiritual, life, and well-being coach, Maddy finally found a way to use all her skills for the greater good. At Awakenpedia, alongside founder Cam Kirdzic, she has been building a beautiful online presence for an awesome community of like-minded people with a shared purpose of helping each other discover who they truly are. Maddy is a sweet, kind, talented, independent, brave, and pretty young lady! We had such a profound and beautiful conversation that it’s hard to believe she’s only 26 years old. Take a listen!

In today’s episode, I’m talking to my amazing yoga teacher Rachel Littrell. Although very young, Rachel shows an incredible ability to lead her classes. Born in South Carolina and raised here in Maryville -TN, Rachel started practicing yoga when she was only 12. Since then, she has been on and off the mat her whole life. She went to UT right after High School but, not sure about her professional career ended up finishing her Associate of Applied Science degree at Pellissippi State. She returned to UT for her bachelor’s and master's in English and currently teaches Literature at Maryville College. Rachel was able to keep yoga in her life all along and started teaching at the age of 21. Now she challenges and inspires yogis at The Yoga Mix in Maryville and The Yoga Mix's new Lenoir City location. In our fun conversation, Rachel shares what yoga has taught her so far and how important her family and roots are to her wellness. Check it out!

Key Takeaways:

Approach everything curiously instead of allowing yourself to be downtrodden by something you can’t do yet;
It’s not because you don’t have it now that you cannot have it. You say I’m excited about what it takes for me to be able to do that;
Don’t set limitations on yourself, be open to the possibilities;
What you learn when you go through different stages in life is invaluable not only for yourself but, for other people who can come to you with similar problems. You never would have been able to help them if you hadn’t had a similar situation;
Give yourself the grace to not have the answer for every situation, it’s ok to say I don’t know.

On today’s episode, I’m talking to Cadin Naylor who is Barbara and Kevin Naylor’s (from 5Sprouts Farm) oldest son. Cadin is living proof that the seeds we plant in our kids throughout parenthood will sooner or later become sprouts. After graduating from high school and working in the food industry for almost a decade, Cadin fell in love with culinary mushrooms. He then started the research which led him to start his own mushroom farm. Misty Mountain Mushrooms is now a formal LLC and under Cadin’s growing entrepreneurial knowledge and strong sustainable principles will grow to be our local resource for fresh mushrooms like Oyster, Lions Maine, and Cordyceps, to name a few. Cadin continues to learn about different species and sustainable ways to improve his production. I just loved our conversation and how inspiring his story is for other young adults looking for a purpose-driven professional life. Please welcome, Cadin Naylor!

Key Takeaways:

Hard work always pays off;
The food industry is profit-based – food is all pre-made, and there is no cooking at all;
Mushrooms are not so easy to grow but worthy;
Being able to grow food and share it with the community is very rewarding;
Be resourceful, you can learn anything from YouTube University;
Find your tribe! People that will support you and help you along the way.
It’s not easy to start a business, or anything for that matter, just take that first step;
For young adults searching for purpose, you’re not going to find it looking at your phone! Get out and do it! Keep the train moving!
