Practical Nerd

I'm Sean, CPT, Strength & Conditioning Coach & Fitness Business Consultant. 

I am a nerd at heart! I love learning about all things fitness, nutrition, physiology, psychology, etc. but I also love cool techy things - such as SEO & building websites, & hosting podcasts! In my free time - I do more of all of the above!

When I started my nutrition business I already had a Certification in Administration and 10 years of management, sales, & marketing under my belt.

Even with all that knowledge, I struggled to figure out how I was going to run my business efficiently.

My biggest struggle was time: I was wasting so much of it trying to combine paper questionnaires, note apps, generic online forms and creating meal plans from scratch. Not to mention the time it took to have the clients fill out and return their paperwork! On-boarding new clients was a tedious task.

I eventually found a system that worked for me, but it was still very inefficient. I kept looking for something better to use for my Nutrition Practice but I couldn’t find something that would work with my process.

The idea of the Hub came to me while sleeping one night in October 2016. I woke up saying: "Sean! I have an idea, and it's genius!"

I had a vision of a user-friendly and practical platform that would save nutrition professionals HOURS of frustration and eliminate all the unnecessary work I was doing.

My main goal when I started my career in the nutrition industry was to help as many people as possible. If the HUB existed, it would support hundreds of nutritionists by allowing them to work more professionally & efficiently. Indirectly, I could help thousands of people live healthier lives.

I had found my purpose!

From that point on, it was all I could think about. I set out to find a developer who could help bring this idea into reality. This proved harder and financially impossible to do at that time.

Thankfully, this is where having Sean as a husband was a dream-saver! When he was 15, he just happened to play around with website design. Lucky for us all, he has been able to build this amazing platform and website as you see it today!

"I had no clue where to start!"

"I wasn't sure we could bring Lynne's dream to life."

To be completely honest, I was very skeptical about the HUB when Lynne brought it up the first time. We were already really busy at the time, and it seemed like something that was completely out of our wheelhouse.

It took me some time to wrap my head around the idea. I was probably too focused on what could potentially go wrong, rather than seeing the upsides of working together, especially on a project that Lynne was so passionate about. 

Lynne and I started building a community on social media around her idea. That's when I fully grasped her vision and realized that this project would actually work. The Holistic Nutrition industry showed a definite need for support. From that point onwards, I was 100% "in."

About 5 months into building the Hub, we found out that the developers weren't going to deliver on their promises. It was a big disappointment for Sean and I. At the time it seemed like a huge setback.

We had no choice but to part ways with them and take on the technical side ourselves.

Thankfully, there was a silver lining to this story:

While we grew our following on social media (primarily Instagram), Sean had been spending A LOT of time working on a sister project called Holistic Workshops. HW was a community-oriented site which was meant to complement the business-focused consulting platform.

So by the time we took over the technical side of the business platform, Sean was already immersed into all things websites, coding, and design. Starting again from scratch, he was able to truly bring my vision to life, in the form of the Holistic Nutrition Hub that you know today.

"It felt like a huge setback."

"I've been told that I am pretty stubborn."

I'm thankful that Lynne trusted me with her idea and let me take over the development of the project. It's not every day that you get to collaborate with your life partner on something as powerful and positive as the Hub.

Of course, it's not always smooth sailing...

I've been told that I am pretty stubborn and I like things done my way, but Lynne knows exactly what she wants and definitely knows how to stand her ground. Once in a while, she has to talk me out of things (loudly), until I fully understand her POV.

More times than not, she's right. This seems to be a recurring theme in our relationship! Without her strong opinions and knowledge, the Hub wouldn't be complete!

What is the HUB up to today?

The HUB has grown into so much more than I thought it ever would! It is really all thanks to the amazing community that has supported us along the way. We have grown our offerings over the years to better serve the Holistic Nutrition Practitioners who use our services!

The HUB Consulting platform now shares its limelight with our HUB Business Offerings which helps practitioners - from the foundations of building a business, designing your business, to launching & marketing!

With the HUB you will find everything you need to get started - we have spent many hours working on handouts, assessments, guides, courses, blogs, podcasts and so much more to help guide you through your journey as a nutrition-based entrepreneur!

Our top priority is seeing as many Nutrition Professionals succeed in their career so that the whole industry can be uplifted!

Working as an Instructor for the Health Coach Collaborative and working with practitioners through the HUB’s coaching offerings, I have seen too many lost and unsure of where to even begin their business, which stops them from ever starting!

Our goal is to ensure that you have everything you need to get started, at a viable price, so we can all succeed & pass on our knowledge to others!

"It has grown into more than I could have imagined."

Welcome To Our Life!

 

Family Picture

Running three businesses and managing a family of five isn't always easy... Thank god for Google Calendar and school!

In order to make it work, we build our schedule ahead of time, together, and make sure that we each have enough time for our respective jobs.

Amongst all this, we do our best to make time for the kids. Weekly outings include nature walks, trips to pool (fun fact: Lynne hates the pool with a passion!), playing at the park, and Science World. 

Paw Patrol and Luke Skywalker mind the children once in a while mom and dad have important matters to discuss!

At the end of the day, we are grateful to have the chance to do what we love, surrounded by a positive and supportive community.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
