I'm Corey Hiben, your podcast host

I'm a healthcare professional turned entrepreneur on a mission to help as many people as possible to build a business that fits their lifestyle.

As somebody who has gone through the struggles of working as both a personal trainer & a healthcare professional I know the challenges of getting clients and building a sustainable business.

Now I spend my days helping health brands with their marketing challenges.

I definitely don't have all of the answers but I'm willing to bet that one of my guests do.

Enjoy the show.
