Instead, she overhauled her diet, eliminated gluten, and experienced a complete turnaround in her health—sparking the idea that would later become Sweet Addison’s.\nIn this episode, Kenny and Addison dive into resilience, reinvention, and building a business from the inside out. Addison shares how her health journey inspired her now-iconic gluten-free, high-protein cookies, her leap from finance to entrepreneurship, the discipline required to build a seven-figure brand, and how she continues to push her limits as an ultra-marathon runner.\nThis is a raw, motivating conversation about trusting your intuition, betting on yourself, and creating something meaningful—packed with insight for entrepreneurs, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone navigating a major life pivot.\nTry Sweet Addison's!  Click the link below and use code STRONGNEWYORK for 10% off!\nhttps://sweetaddisons.com/discount/STRONGNEWYORK\n00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome\n00:36 Addison's Health Struggles and Diagnosis\n01:11 Transition to Gluten-Free Lifestyle\n04:05 Impact of Diet on Health and Performance\n06:26 Starting Sweet Addison's\n08:40 Entrepreneurial Journey and Challenges\n12:37 Product Development and Market Response\n21:04 Celebrity Endorsements and Future Plans\n22:10 The Journey of Building a Business\n22:42 The Power of Influencer Marketing\n24:00 Successful Collaborations and Launches\n25:58 Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs\n27:16 Balancing Business and Endurance Running\n30:54 Nutrition and Training Insights\n40:30 Future Plans and Business Growth\n42:50 Final Thoughts and...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2Xk0ZfTav_YYXRVY33jR580T6b9XsLam3nbonxuWOrE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ODY5/ODY1MDY4ZWQyNzg0/OWQxOThmY2JlMTc3/MDExOC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
