Your Podcast Starter Packs
Not sure which episode of Visionary Life to binge-listen to, first?
I’ve got you covered, visionary. Here are some curated starter packs.
When I started The Visionary Life Podcast I never imagined that it would grow into what it has become today - a Top Canadian Business, Marketing an Entrepreneurship.
When we first launched the show back in 2017, it was one of the first shows of its kind that focused on Canadian Business Owners and that prioritized in-person interviews (rather than Zoom). That was pre-pandemic, but it’s really neat to think back to the origin of face to face conversations.
Each week, our listeners tune in from all over the world to hear business stories and our guest experts bring us behind the scenes of running and scaling their businesses.
As an interviewer, I try to do a significant amount of research before the show so that I can extract the best lessons, learnings and takeaways from each of our guests.
If you’re an aspiring or early stage entrepreneur, this show was crafted specifically for you!
And to be honest, I still can’t believe this is part of my job. I never imagined being able to create an income stream from a show that started as a side hustle.
Now that we’ve got 100’s of episodes in the archive for you, I’ve assembled 5 starter packs which consist of some of the most popular episodes per area of expertise.
Our podcast starter packs include:
Starter Pack #1 – How to Start a Food and Beverage Business
Starter Pack #2 – How to Start an Online Business
Starter Pack #3 – How to Turn your Passion into a Career
Starter Pack #4 – How to Open a Brick & Mortar Shop
Starter Pack #5 – How to Build a Health & Wellness Business
If you are looking to start a business or bring your business to the next level you will gain something from each of these starter packs.
Let’s dive right into them ⬇️

3. HOW TO TURN YOUR PASSION INTO A CAREER
I read a stat recently that just 20% of the workforce in the U.S were passionate about their job and 65% were just satisfied with their job.
It got me thinking about how many people in my life (family, friends and acquaintances) are currently unhappy at their day job, and craving change.
All of the people I know who are unhappy at work are SO talented and skilled at various things, but they’re terrified to take action and make the leap into launching a business!
I want to challenge you to take the time to reflect if you are fulfilled by your job.
If you are not, why do you stay?
Write it down. How can you overcome these objections and live the life you were meant to live?
These episodes will inspire you to find your purpose and turn your passion into a career.

4. HOW TO OPEN A BRICK AND MORTAR SHOP
Do you aspire to open a local coffee shop, a quint book store, or the latest trendy motel?
Owning or renting a physical space definitely brings more risks and fear as you are now responsible for a monthly expense regardless if you are generating income.
Personally, I don’t have a physical space for my business as everything runs online but I had the opportunity to interview some amazing brick and mortar business owners who have each been kind enough to bring us behind the scenes of owning a storefront business.
