It Has to Be Me

Andrew Wilder, founder of NerdPress, tracks his journey from theater lighting designer to food blogger to web solopreneur to tech CEO. Andrew recalls his dad’s advice, to walk different paths and see what you like. Doing this got him to what he is passionate about—enabling people to use complex tech solutions. Once Andrew let go of the need to define his identity through professional labels, he freed himself to measure success by his own standards and metrics. Key among those was targeting excellence rather than perfection. Andrew explains how in his leadership role, coat-checking his “control freak” tendencies, delegating, and collaborating on decisions empowers his team and fuels NerdPress’s growth. He emphasizes how core company values apply to both customers and staff, and how checking in with those principles helps him and his team make decisions that align with their mission. A strong company culture, robust communication system, and strategic partnerships enable Andrew’s work family to have fun while providing exceptional services. Andrew shares how just “showing up” and talking with people led to unexpected opportunities in his career. He encourages listeners to be bold, take risks, and stay open to possibilities that may lead to the next big thing.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Be bold and take risks: Just showing up and connecting with people leads to opportunities and growth. Many of the pivotal moments in Andrew’s journey were the result of unexpected conversations. Let go of labels: Andrew shares his journey, from attaching his identity to labels to building a company and defining success his own way.  Strive for excellence, not perfection: The pursuit of excellence leads to success and fulfillment, while obsessing about perfection can hold you back.  Collaborate, empower, and trust: Hiring good people, leveraging the power of communication software, and forming strategic partnerships, Andrew ensures that NerdPress clients enter a collaborative orbit for “WordPress support that feels like family.”  Core values as a tool: Andrew and his team work by a fundamental rule: When you’re struggling to make a decision, use the company’s core values as a guide.  SOUND BITES “Just showing up is huge. You never know what's gonna happen. Be bold and take a risk. It's so easy to reach out to somebody. Where I am now is a result of all these little interactions that I never could have predicted."  “My dad just encouraged me to try stuff. He would say, ‘There's always going to be a bunch of paths in front of you, and you should try going down them and see what sticks and what you like.’ Walking down a path isn't a huge commitment. It sometimes feels like it is, but it isn't.” “I'm not going to let go of excellence, but it doesn't have to be perfect. There's a difference.”  “I found myself not really liking the work. I loved having done it, and being proud of the work. But I didn't like the actual doing. The idea is one thing, but the day to day is another. We are the sum of our days. And if we're miserable each day, we're going to be miserable. One of the things I look for when hiring is intrinsic motivation. One of my favorite interview questions is, ‘What gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning?’ I love hearing how people answer that question.” “If I'm struggling to make a decision, I look at our core values. If we have a company culture that’s resilient, and is a shared set of values, as long as somebody on my team is living those values, I'm going to back them 100 percent.” “There's a cartoon that’s, like, two panes. One side says ‘What people think success is.’ It's just a graph of a straight diagonal line, going up right with an arrow. The next pane is ‘What success really looks like’—a squiggly line going all the way around until you finally get to the top corner. It's very messy. If you're constantly comparing yourself to others, you're only seeing that straight line.” ABOUT ANDREW WILDER Andrew Wilder is the founder and CEO of NerdPress [https://www.nerdpress.net/], a dynamic team renowned for providing exceptional WordPress support, optimization, and maintenance to hundreds of publishers and small businesses. Andrew's first career, in theater lighting design, instilled in him a deep appreciation for collaboration, a principle integrated into the ethos of NerdPress. Andrew’s technical expertise and knack for making complex topics understandable have made him a go-to speaker on web-tech, and a regular contributor on the “SEO for Bloggers” webinar series. Through his Eating Rules food blog, Andrew started the October Unprocessed challenge that inspired more than 30,000 people to adopt healthier eating habits by building community and avoiding processed foods. An Eagle Scout, Andrew serves on several boards and commissions in Los Angeles as part of his commitment to community service.   CONNECT WITH ANDREW Website: https://www.nerdpress.net/ [https://www.nerdpress.net/] Website: https://eatingrules.com/ [https://eatingrules.com/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nerdpress.net [https://www.facebook.com/nerdpress.net] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatingrules [https://www.instagram.com/eatingrules] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nerdpressteam [https://www.instagram.com/nerdpressteam] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewjwilder/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewjwilder/] CONNECT WITH TESS Website: https://tessmasters.com/  [https://tessmasters.com/] Podcast Website: https://ithastobeme.com/  [https://ithastobeme.com/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theblendergirl/  [https://www.facebook.com/theblendergirl/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theblendergirl/  [https://www.instagram.com/theblendergirl/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/theblendergirl  [https://twitter.com/theblendergirl] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/theblendergirl  [https://www.youtube.com/user/theblendergirl] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessmasters/  [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessmasters/] GET HEALTHY WITH TESS https://www.skinny60.com/  [https://www.skinny60.com/] https://www.thedecadentdetox.com/  [https://www.thedecadentdetox.com/] https://www.theblendergirl.com/  [https://www.theblendergirl.com/]

Ashley Koff RD - renowned dietitian and founder of The Better Nutrition Program - reveals how childhood struggles with weight, anxiety, and bullying led to a cycle of extreme dieting in a quest to be skinny and perfect. She gets candid about hiding in other people’s stories to avoid being seen. When she let go of chasing perfection and allowed herself to be vulnerable she was able to celebrate her own story. Ashley explains how ditching diet dogma and healing her digestive system impacted her career. She charts the evolution of her “Better, Not Perfect” approach, and shares how freeing yourself to focus on the next better choice is the key to sustainable change. Ashley and Tess discuss the value of personalized nutrition, and the importance of partnering with a practitioner to find solutions that fit your specific situation. Ashley recommends using a mixture of anecdotal and clinical data to inform appropriate diet and lifestyle changes. She also stresses the value of defining success in your terms in order to set markers and track progress. Ashley closes with the power of having a diversity of friends who can advise you in different ways. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Value your story: When Ashley embraced her uniqueness and vulnerability she allowed others to “see” her to create more meaningful relationships.  Define success your way: By letting go of the need to compare herself to others, Ashley started defining success her way - which made her a happier person and a better practitioner.   Better Not Perfect choices: Ashley stresses the futility of chasing perfection, and how meaningful change and impact occurs as a result of focusing on the next better choice.  Find a curious practitioner: Truly personalized nutrition empowers you to make informed and appropriate changes for better health. Find a practitioner who wants to understand your whole story.  Assemble your cabinet: Ashley tells how she learned from Steph Carter the importance of having people in your friendship circle who can counsel you in different ways.  SOUND BITES “The issue with ‘perfect’ is that it’s done. It can only be perfect for a moment, then what? Part of letting go of perfect was feeling better and being empowered to know what was better for me. I realized that ‘better, not perfect’ choices and balance were going to make me happy. We're learning and growing and wanting to be better all the time. We're never done.” “Injustice drives me. Nutrition is a form of justice. I'm correcting an injustice by saying that this is something that we should all know how to do. When I figured out that nutrition could fix things, I realized I could help lots of people fix themselves.” “People come in and tell me all the things that they do wrong. I challenge people to tell me something that they're successful with, something that is good. Successful people see themselves as successful. Start as a success because if you see yourself as a hot mess or a failure it is much harder to actually do something.” “Instead of setting goals, I invite you to ‘experiment’ with something to see how your body responds. Let's see what your body is telling us and make decisions from there. We decide together - What are the markers of success? Instead of thinking that you're a failure if something doesn’t work, we've actually just learned that you are not going to respond to that thing.” “We tend to focus on the one thing that eludes us. I was doing what everybody told me I “should” be doing, and yet I wasn’t happy. There was a moment where I said, “I don't actually want to be you, I want to be me!” “It took me a long time to realize that in trying to look a certain way I had actually pushed people away from wanting to get to know me and see me.” ABOUT ASHLEY KOFF RD Ashley Koff RD is an award-winning dietitian, renowned speaker, author, and the founder and chief nutrition officer of The Better Nutrition Program [https://thebetternutritionprogram.com/].

Kristin Kirkpatrick - renowned speaker, best-selling author, and one of the most respected dietitians in the United States is giving us the gold about liver health. Kristin shares how her struggle with childhood obesity fueled her desire to help people improve their relationship with food. Then traces her journey from White House intern, to lobbyist, to cardiovascular genetics at the Cleveland Clinic, to lead dietitian of their Department of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine. She speaks to the value of humility and generous mentorship in finding your own path and helping others find theirs. And how stepping out of your comfort zone fast-tracks personal and professional growth. Kristin’s talent for simplifying complex medical information has made her a powerful force in nutrition education. She explains why we need to care about the liver, and why Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease has become an epidemic. With an estimated 1 in 4 people affected, and many unaware they have it, the disease is a silent killer. Kristin defines the four metabolic types, why knowing your type is critical, and gives practical strategies for preventing and reversing liver disease. In closing, she shares her next mission: Helping women embrace menopause with humor and love their older bodies!   KEY TAKEAWAYS How childhood affects our food choices: By sharing her story of childhood obesity, Kristin emphasizes how early life experiences shape our body image and relationship with food.   Does your practitioner understand your needs? Kristin stresses the importance of finding medical practitioners who take the time to listen and understand you. What is your metabolic type? Kristin explains why it’s crucial to know your metabolic type, why controlling your blood sugar is the key factor, and why it’s not your weight, it’s where you carry your weight.   The Dangers of Fatty Liver: Most people who have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease don’t know they have it. Kristin shares why regular check-ups and early diagnosis can save your life. What’s your button-popping incident? Kristin is asking this question to inspire women over 50 to celebrate their older bodies and embrace menopause with humor.  SOUND BITES “You can go through so many different versions of yourself. Eventually you're gonna land on who you're meant to be. And sometimes you gotta go through all those versions to figure it out.” “A lot of times we'll take on different things in our life because we didn't have it. So we take that on as a goal to give back what was not given to us.” “When the view doesn't change, you can't necessarily grow. It's the stuff that makes you uncomfortable where you're forced to learn about something you didn't know before.” “There's a whole world of health practitioners. Connect with someone who speaks your language and can sit down and have a conversation. How does the advice relate to your “why” and path of longevity? It starts with looking at your own worth before having to accept the worth that others give you.” “We think liver disease is about booze. But, the liver plays a huge role in blood sugar management. When the liver becomes overwhelmed, it doesn't understand what to do with the blood sugar and turns it into fat. This creates a cascade of inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. We have to take away the stigma that if you're fat, then you're unhealthy. And that's just not the case.”  “1 out of every 4 people has liver disease and probably don’t know it because there's no symptoms. We think it's closer to 30% of individuals who have it. It's very much in line with type-two diabetes and insulin resistance. It is an epidemic and a silent killer.” ABOUT KRISTIN KICKPATRICK, MS, RDN With over 25 years experience in health management, Kristin is an award-winning dietitian, best-selling author, nationally recognized speaker, and founder and president of KAK Consulting, LLC,. As the lead dietitian in the Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine, Kristin is one of the most respected dietitians in the United States. You may have seen her give expert advice on the TODAY show, NBC Nightly News, the Dr. Oz show, as well as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME, Oprah, Food Network, Self, Women's Health, and other media outlets. Kristin is known for her groundbreaking lobbying efforts for Medical Nutrition Therapy reform on behalf of the American Dietetic Association Policy and Advocacy group. Kristin’s first book, Skinny Liver got a lot of attention raising awareness about the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease epidemic. Her second book, Regenerative Health explores the relationship between liver disease and metabolic health, and provides practical nutrition plans and strategies to support recovery and better health.

Being well is so simple…It's shocking how hard we make it.” “For saying the right yes’s and the right no's: Will this bring more joy into my life, or joy in the people that I'm serving?” “If something just keeps tapping you on the shoulder day after day, month after month, year after year that's probably something that you're supposed to be doing.

Melissa Lanz is an award-winning entrepreneur and business coach helping other solo-preneurs achieve financial freedom. She shares the wake-up call that got her to give up the security of a high-paying corporate job for a kitchen-table start-up that she grew into a multi-million dollar company. By making value-guided choices, and focusing on the feelings she wants to have rather than the things she wants to have, Melissa achieved financial success and fulfillment. She insists that “It must be your ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ that frame your story.” Melissa gives practical strategies for blocking out the noise, listening to your intuition, and trusting yourself to overcome doubts, fears, and negative input. She emphasizes the value of strategic planning, personal audits, and investing in the little tasks to build momentum and confidence to stay on track. Then highlights rest, reflection, and leveraging your existing resources as fundamental elements that contribute to productivity. In this conversation, Melissa takes listeners inside the methodical way she guides clients to leverage the resources they already have and take the next three steps toward their goals.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Stay Close to Your Mission and Values: Melissa explains why making choices that align with your “WHY” lead to success and fulfillment.  The Fresh 20: Leveraging her internet knowledge, business acumen, and skills as a chef, Melissa built an online meal planning service to fulfill her mission of helping families eat healthy and reduce food waste.  Plan With What You Have: A firm believer in being scrappy, Melissa helps clients recognize what they already have, and gives them the next three small steps so they can take immediate action.

People wait until something happens before they make a change.”   “Confidence without patience starts some really bad, very expensive mistakes in business and in life.” “A lot of people get stuck when they have a drive inside of them, and nobody around them has gone further than they're getting ready to go.”  “You already have the answers. Do you have the courage to listen to yourself? It takes courage to put everything else aside, and listen to yourself and be willing to accept the consequences of your intuition.” “The next step does not have to be big. It can be 3 simple things. You’ve gotta be willing to do the nitty gritty things to get you ready as a launch pad to go to the next level. People have big visions, but don’t see the little things.”    MELISSA LANZ BIO Melissa Lanz is an award-winning entrepreneur and business coach.
