This week we have a little different approach to the podcast. Instead of it being an interview with a nurse, we are having a conversation that it for nurses and will help a lot of nurses. Today, I sit down with Jordan Syatt. I have been following him on Instagram for some time and I absolutely love his approach to fitness and nutrition. It is common sense and easy to achieve.
“Jordan Syatt is a short, bald, Harry Potter nerd with an affinity for Deadlifting and also happens to be Gary Vaynerchuk’s personal trainer. Jordan began Syatt Fitness, his online fitness coaching business, from his dorm at the University of Delaware in 2011 and has become one of the industry’s leading experts in strength training, nutrition, and behavioral psychology. One of the only people in the world to deadlift 4x his own body weight, Jordan’s work has been featured all over the world including a variety of media publications such as CNN, The Huffington Post, Business Insider, Men’s Health Magazine, Men’s Fitness Magazine, and Schwarzenegger.com”

Ayla had always loved writing but didn’t start by knowing that you could combine nursing and writing into one career! She was on maternity leave and starting thinking of jobs/ways she could be more present with her family and still use her nursing degree: enter freelance writing.
Ayla takes us through her nursing journey, her discovery of freelance writing and how she got started. She also gives you tips and ideas on how to start that journey yourself if that is something that interests you!

About the show
This week on the podcast we have nurse entrepreneurs Anthony Scarpone-Lambert and Jennifferre Mancillas of Adni Marketplace (formerly known as Lumify Care). These two amazing nurses started their nursing journeys on opposite sides of the nation and met at a hackathon. (In case you don’t know, a hackathon is a conference for nurse innovators that meet in order to solve healthcare problems).
After meeting at that hackathon, Anthony and Jennifferre stayed in touch and later decided to launch Lumify. At Lumify, they invented the UNight Light: a hands-free wearable light that allows nurses to illuminate their work spaces without disturbing their patients.
And that was only the beginning… Lumify led the way to Lumify Marketplace (now Adni Marketplace) which is a community marketplace for healthcare professionals that has products and digital resources for healthcare professionals all in one place.
Today, they tell us their journeys into nursing and into entrepreneurship. They are yet ANOTHER amazing example of nurses using their degrees in unique and inventive ways.
