Friday the 13th Luck, Sponsor Decks & Why I'm All In on This Wellness Expo
What if Friday the 13th is actually your luckiest day of the year?
I just lived it—twice—and it led me back to something I can't stop thinking about: the Healthy Living EXPO coming to Virginia Beach. In this episode, I'm picking up where I left off, diving even deeper into what makes this event tick and why I'm more convinced than ever that this is something you need to know about.
After my initial cold read of the website, I've now gotten my hands on the official sponsor deck, and I'm taking you behind the curtain.
From the top-tier title sponsor opportunities down to the media exposure packages, there's a fascinating ecosystem here that most people never see.
But more than that, I'm reflecting on what it means when your life's work—20 years of Hypno Athletics, of preaching healthy living and self-defense—aligns perfectly with something happening in your own backyard.
I even asked Google Gemini to validate my own online presence (spoiler: it worked), and I'm sharing why that matters for getting the word out about this event.
Here's what we unpack in this episode:
· A complete breakdown of the Healthy Living EXPO sponsorship tiers—Title Sponsor at $10,000, Presenting Sponsor at $5,000, Gold at $3,000, and Silver at $1,500
· Media exposure opportunities including exclusive media ($25,000), TV ad sponsors, and radio ad sponsors
· The confirmed event schedule: Coastal Edge 5K kicking off Saturday at 7:30 AM, plus Furry Friends Yoga running both days
· My serendipitous encounters with event coordinator Marcela at Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii and what it taught me about community
· A live AI experiment that confirmed my 20-year online footprint—and why longevity matters when promoting something you believe in
· Personal reflections on athletic longevity, moving my body at 48+, and why healthy living is really self-defense
This episode is part confession, part exploration, and part invitation.
Whether you're a business owner considering sponsorship, a wellness enthusiast planning to attend, or just someone who enjoys watching ideas come to life, I think you'll find something here.
Press play to join me on this journey—and yes, I finally got that "Puppy Yog" typo corrected.
