I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode where I talk to Mike Watts — entrepreneur, speaker, and dad. He and his wife, Kate Northrup, have built a multimedia digital empire that supports ambitious women and helps them light up the world without burning themselves out in the process.
I first met Mike in the summer of 2014 in a little coffee shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I was a health coach and people were asking me for advice on what probiotics to take, so we were meeting because I had signed up to be on his and Kate Northrup’s USANA team. Since then, I ended up moving to Maine and now I live about 20 minutes away from his family!
Whenever you see Mike in person, he’s most likely surrounded by women. Clearly his wife, Kate, and their 2 adorable daughters, but in general Mike tends to run in the online business circles dominated by powerful women.
Mike’s a good friend and I know him to be both traditionally masculine and someone who can hold space for and express emotions, so I was really excited to dive into these topics with him! Plus, our conversations are always just so much fun… you never really know what you’re gonna get 😉
