How do you turn a TINY side hustle into a full-on income stream? Even more, how do you make your side hustle a multimillion-dollar business that employs dozens of people and gives you the financial freedom to do what YOU’RE passionate about? Today, we chat with Mari Llewelyn, founder of Bloom Nutrition, about her incredible journey of weight loss, financial literacy, starting a side hustle, and growing a HUGE business.
Mari’s entrepreneurial journey started long before she decided to make supplements. One day, she woke up and realized she had hit rock bottom. She was the heaviest she had ever been, had no money to her name, zero autonomy, and close-to-no willpower to pick herself back up. After growing tired of relying on her parents for money in college, she decided to get a job at the front desk of a gym.
She was making money, and things were starting to improve, but there was one big hurdle left: the weight. In this episode, Mari talks about her incredible journey to losing ninety pounds, how she started selling five-dollar workout programs for extra cash, and her explosive social media growth that allowed her to build a multimillion-dollar business before age thirty!
