The biggest thing that all entrepreneurs should be doing is to be really in tune with our bodies and the signs that something is wrong. It just kills the momentum in business when we stop taking care of ourselves. So, paying attention to the signs and being consistent with your routines such as fitness, diet, breathwork, or plant medicine can help keep you on track and be present. - Aaron Hinde

Power Quotes From The Show

Being a Wellness Warrior For Our Children

"Kids are strictly in download mode from ages 0 to 7. They're not even making rational decisions; they're just absorbing everything. So, everything that they see us do, hear us say, and what we teach them as parents will affect them either positively or negatively for the rest of their lives. Everything that they have to deal with is a result of us as parents and that responsibility is heavy. So, do I speak to them in scarcity mode? Do I eat McDonald's every day or do I eat clean? That programming can affect these kids in perpetuity." - Aaron Hinde

 

Leading Your Brand With The Golden Rule

"There is no 'work' and there is no 'personal' life, it's just life. So, we have to approach it like that and when personal things come up, let's figure it out together. We can overcome all obstacles but we have to treat people like human beings and treat them as we or they want to be treated. It all comes back to the super basic, Gold Rule we all should follow." - Aaron Hinde

 

Attracting Your True Tribe "It's okay that you're not friends with everybody. It's okay that not everybody is in your tribe because the great thing about a tribe is that you attract who you're going to attract and you're also going to repel who you're supposed to repel. If you're authentic, then you'll attract people who are also authentic and on that same wavelength and have a true tribe." - Aaron Hinde

About LifeEAID

LIFEAID founders Orion Melehan and Aaron Hinde first met in a Crossfit Box in Santa Cruz, California, in 2009. Melehan was a Certified Financial Planner and Hinde was a sports chiropractor who worked with many local athletes. A friendship was quickly struck, which later evolved into a business partnership. The two were convinced that conscious consumers would start to demand alternatives to high sugar, high caffeine, and artificial mass market drinks.

The Launch of LifeAID

They were equally convinced that consumers were looking for more functionality than the caffeine found in energy drinks or isotonic sports drinks.  After months of brainstorming and collaboration, they created their vision for LIFEAID and funded it with a mere $30,000 apiece. Melehan’s financial expertise helped craft the business plan.  Hinde’s background in nutrition and chiropractic care proved essential when developing LIFEAID products as he worked with their team of a biochemist and beverage scientists. LIFEAID now makes six specially-formulated blends, plus a protein/carb food pouch  Fast forward to today and the company’s products can be found in hundreds of golf courses, thousands of gyms, and nationwide in fine retailers such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe.  FITAID is the official recovery drink of the 2017 CrossFit Games LIFEAID remains an independent brand run by its founders – not a subsidiary of a large beverage conglomerate.  That spirit of independence is reflected in their company culture, the products they offer and the communities they serve.
