From Vision to Movement: The Story Behind OwnPace
In this episode, we dive deep into the origin story of OwnPace—what started as a personal mantra during my own running journey, and how it’s since evolved into a growing community of athletes, creators, and everyday people who are committed to moving with intention and building discipline on their own terms.
We talk about how running taught me patience, resilience, and self-awareness, and how those same values have helped me build not only the OwnPace brand, but a mindset that applies far beyond fitness
Why I Built Whole Human
One of the most powerful moments in the conversation was breaking down the vision behind the Whole Human App. This isn’t just a fitness app—it’s a platform that brings together movement, mindset, and nutrition in one space.
I wanted to create a tool that speaks to the entire human experience—something that helps people become better not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. The Whole Human App is the result of that vision.
Topics We Covered:
💡 The origin story of OwnPace – From mindset to movement
💡 Life lessons from running and entrepreneurship – What the grind really teaches you
💡 The vision and development of the Whole Human App – Building a platform for complete wellness
💡 Balancing career, passion, and purpose – The truth behind wearing multiple hats
