"We have to actively pursue positive thinking. The quickest way to get there is to go through neutral thinking." - Melissa Pike

Can your gut health actually improve your business strategy? According to health and life coach Melissa Pike, the answer is a resounding yes. In this episode, Melissa joins Jon and Rhys to deliver powerful insights that link personal wellness to professional success — something she knows inside and out. She dives into mindset shifts that don’t require a complete personality overhaul, nutrition advice that goes far beyond just “drink more water,” and sustainable habits that won’t make you dread your mornings. Melissa also breaks down why burnout isn’t something to wear like a badge of honor. With equal parts tough love and practical coaching, she calls out the excuses and encourages listeners to prioritize their well-being — because caffeine and vibes aren’t enough to sustain a thriving business.

We’re two entrepreneurs who want to grow — but every time someone calls themselves a ‘coach,’ our fight-or-flight kicks in. So, naturally, we started a podcast. Each episode, we interview a coach. Not because we believe... but because we’re testing our own skepticism. Making ourselves uncomfortable. Hunting for the signal in all the noise.

It’s for people who hate the fluff, but still want to get better.
