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.

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 programsfor extra cash, and her explosive social media growth that allowed her to build a multimillion-dollar business before age thirty!
