In the health and wellness industry, success hinges on authenticity; those who thrive are "vulnerable," "honest with themselves about how they're doing," and able to connect with clients on a human level, unlike the "human doings" often found in corporate settings. This focus on genuine connection, as Brian explains, is key to building relationships and providing effective help.

How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
People who typically thrive in the health and wellness space are vulnerable. They are fully themselves and bring that authenticity to work every single day.
They're the type of people who don't just ask "How are you doing?" and expect a simple "Good, you?". Instead, they might say, "I'm doing okay. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, but I did something about it. I exercised and got my day going."
These individuals are honest with themselves about how they are feeling. This allows them to work with that honesty to be the best version of themselves.
More importantly, this realness enables them to connect with their clients and other people. They are human beings, not just human doings.
In the corporate world, I often saw much more "human doing" – people just going through the motions. Whereas in the health and wellness space, being honest about how you are doing allows you to relate, connect, and help others.
