  • Revolutionizing Personalized Nutrition: Sam Hale of Nurish'd on AI and Healthy Living
    2025/05/27
    Sara Sheehan’s guest in this episode is Samuel Hale, the CEO and Co-Founder of Nurish’d. Sam discusses the evolution of Nurish’d, a digital health and nutrition platform that connects users with registered dietitians and personalized meal planning, assisted by AI. Sam tells Sara about his career journey and how he originally launched as a ready-to-eat meal prep company before transitioning into Nurish’d. Sam shares how his platform now optimizes meal plans that align with users’ health profiles, dietary preferences, and wellness goals. Sam’s entrepreneurial path demonstrates a strategic pivot from food production to healthtech innovation. His proprietary AI system automates dietary recommendations while preserving the key human element of dietitian-led consultations. His leadership in this nutrition-as-a-service model has helped expand Nurish’d from Canada into the U.S., especially in states leveraging the 1115 Medicaid waiver for medically tailored meals. Sam’s mission is the idea that “if we eat well, we feel well.” The food as medicine movement is supported through Nurish’d, offering evidence-based nutrition plans to manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease. The platform also partners with insurance providers and telehealth integration, delivering meals and virtual care to users with covered conditions. Sam tells Sara his future goals are to expand Nurish’d’s role in preventive health, supporting food-insecure populations, and collaborating with benefits providers to make healthy eating accessible at scale. About Samuel Hale: In a world where diet often dictates our health, Sam Hale believes in a holistic approach, where wellness is about a sustainable lifestyle that fosters individual health and well-being. He is driven by the vision to transform our relationship with food, seeing it not just as sustenance but as a tool for longevity, illness prevention, and overall well-being.This belief led Sam to establish Nurish'd, a platform partnering users with registered dietitians and leveraging AI to integrate personalized nutrition seamlessly into our daily lives by connecting users to healthy meals that best fit their lifestyles and goals. If we eat well, we feel well.Through innovation and commitment, we can harness the ability to improve our health profiles, enhancing our well-being. Sam strives to create a ripple effect of health awareness, empowering individuals and organizations to make informed choices toward a healthier future. — Contact Sara Sheehan | Sara Sheehan Consulting:SaraWSheehan.comSara Sheehan on LinkedInMeet with SaraContact Samuel Hale:Website: Nurishd.ioLinkedIn: Samuel-Hale-94539779__TranscriptSara Sheehan: [00:00:02] Hi there, I'm Sara Sheehan and welcome to my podcast, Transformational Thinkers with Sara Sheehan. Today I'm talking with Samuel Hale. Sam is an entrepreneur, innovator, and CEO of Nurish'd, a platform that partners users with registered dietitians and leverages AI to integrate personalized nutrition seamlessly into customers' lives by connecting users to healthy meals that best fit their lifestyles and goals. Sam believes if we eat well, we feel well. Welcome to the show, Sam.Samuel Hale: [00:00:46] Thanks for having me.Sara Sheehan: [00:00:48] I am so glad that you're here, and I'm so excited to see what you're doing and how you're transforming the ability for people to own their own fitness and wellness. So let's dive into it. Sam, your backstory is critical to what got you here, but I'd love to hear what led you to create Nurish'd.Samuel Hale: [00:01:15] Absolutely. Generally speaking, Nurish'd is the evolution of our previous endeavor. It started off as a meal preparation company, where we were literally making and preparing healthy, prepared meals for individuals, and that was mostly being delivered directly to consumers. But we wanted to start bringing more value because we noticed that the space was very saturated. And to do that, we started integrating dietitians into our workflow and allowing the dietitians to work with our clients one on one to make sure that what they're eating is actually optimal for them. But what I didn't know was actually how much time that would take a dietitian to be able to do all of that work manually. The food industry already has really tight margins, and what we were noticing was that once a dietitian would meet with a client for an hour, they would have to do their charting, and on top of that, they would start doing the meal planning. It's quite difficult because when you have a food producer that has a large menu, the dietitians had to know all the ingredients, all the nutrition facts and everything else that would be required to optimize the macronutrients and caloric intake for an individual. So what we brainstormed was, what can only a dietitian do? And that's the consultation one on one, and also the charting for compliance and insurance purposes.Samuel ...

  • Journaling for Growth with Kim Ades
    2025/05/13
    Sara Sheehan’s guest in this episode is the president and founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and Journal Engine Software, Kim Ades. Kim uses journal-based coaching in her direct coaching style with clients; she tells Sara exactly what that is and how she came to develop it. Following a life-altering divorce, Kim’s focus became helping others build emotional resilience to thrive despite challenges. She and Sara discuss how introspection and writing can reframe experiences, and how that shift can impact client success. Kim founded Frame of Mind Coaching to empower people to focus on their thought patterns instead of external behaviours. She developed a unique journaling software to facilitate a journaling-based coaching method that helps her reflect on client writing to aid in uncovering their limiting beliefs. Through this method, Kim finds she can go past typical performance metrics to target the root of thought processes. It’s in this way that sustainable growth and emotional intelligence are unlocked.Sara and Kim talk about the value of self-awareness and emotional clarity. This especially applies to entrepreneurs and executives who are under constant pressure. Kim’s unique coaching philosophy highlights the idea that success is truly driven by mindset more than circumstances. Kim is a pivotal voice in the world of leadership development and personal transformation. She has a proven track record in helping clients overcome adversity, and she openly shares her philosophy and insights with Sara. About Kim Ades: Kim Ades, MBA, is a serial entrepreneur who, after a decade running a simulation-based assessment firm, sold her company and briefly worked for a local coaching company. She left after 8 months, believing she could offer better coaching. Kim felt the prevailing coaching model was flawed, intuitively realizing that driven leaders needed to understand the link between their thoughts and outcomes rather than being “held accountable.”In 2004, Kim founded Frame of Mind Coaching®, focusing on helping leaders maximize their potential and live fulfilling lives. She also created the Frame of Mind Coaching® Certification program to teach leaders effective coaching techniques. _Resources mentioned in this episode:Great Leaders are Great Coaches course— Contact Sara Sheehan | Sara Sheehan Consulting:SaraWSheehan.comSara Sheehan on LinkedInMeet with SaraContact Kim Ades:Website: FrameOfMindCoaching.comWebsite: JournalEngine.comEmail: kim@frameofmindcoaching.comLinkedInInstagram: @coachkimades__TranscriptSara Sheehan: [00:00:02] Hi there! I'm Sara Sheehan and welcome to my podcast, Transformational Thinkers with Sara Sheehan. Today I am joined by Kim Ades. Kim is the president and founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and Journal Engine Software. Kim uses her unique process, philosophy and direct coaching style to help leaders identify their blind spots and learn to focus their thinking to achieve extraordinary results. Author, speaker, entrepreneur, coach, and mom of five, Kim is dedicated to teaching her powerful coaching process to other coaches, leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide. Kim, welcome to the show.Kim Ades: [00:00:51] Thank you so much for having me. I'm so happy to be talking to you today.Sara Sheehan: [00:00:56] Excellent, I can't wait to learn from you. Kim, everyone's backstory is important to them because it's what got you here. I would love to focus on how you created the Journal Engine software, if we can.Kim Ades: [00:01:19] Let me give you a little bit of history about why 'journaling' in the first place. I have been coaching leaders, executives and entrepreneurs for the past 21 years, but when I first started, I had no experience and I was very insecure. I was really interested in two things, how do I get into the heads of my clients so I understand what's really going on, and how do I deliver coaching that leaves a lifelong impact? I didn't want to be a coach that was 'one and done'. I didn't want to be forgotten, I wanted to make a real difference in someone's life, and one that was sustainable. I thought, how do we have really valuable conversations? If I could understand how they see the world, how they think, how they operate in their lives on a day to day basis, that would equip me to have those powerful conversations. So from the very beginning, I decided that if I asked them to journal, then I could see how they think. The premise was, if I asked them to journal daily and I give them some journaling questions to work with, and every time they journal then I would be on the other side of that journal reading and responding to that journal, kind of having a conversation with them. Imagine you're writing in your journal, but now your journal is interacting with you. That was the idea in the very beginning. Then I thought, when I come to my coaching sessions, I will really have something to work with. So that was the idea. At the very beginning, so many years ago, ...

Nicole discusses AI and how it is more than just an IT function; it is a transformative force in business. The new role of Chief AI Officer reflects the cross-functional nature of AI and Nicole explains why dedicated leadership is required to integrate AI across entire organizations. Ensuring that it is embraced to ensure a future-ready company is essential. Nicole shares strategies for AI integration and recommendations on how to stay updated on AI developments through focused newsletters, by joining communities, and through experimenting with tools like Perplexity. She advocates for leaders to champion AI from the top down so a culture where employees are encouraged to use AI safely and creatively is fostered. Mindset shifts are key to using AI in the promotion of self-awareness and personal growth. Sara and Nicole look ahead to agentic AI, which are AI systems capable of decision-making and functioning as digital team members. Such systems will change the structure of organizations and put humans in charge of overseeing AI agents in customer service or sales roles. Nicole advises that everyone upskill to avoid being left behind, and urges the adoption of AI now, being mindful of bias and data protection, and committing to lifelong learning. About Nicole Hilgenkamp:Nicole is a digital transformation leader with the world's largest companies, where she leads enterprise scale AI and digital transformation across global operations. She is also the founder of AIboration, an AI consulting firm that helps businesses implement generative AI.Nicole is an optimist who believes people and technology can work better together. With a background in sociology, she has always been fascinated by how people group, interact, and adapt—whether in organizations, markets, or digital spaces.Her work revolves around structuring chaos—helping businesses use technology to improve processes, enhance collaboration, and drive results. Nicole sees patterns in people, systems, and data, making sense of complexity and turning it into strategy._Resources mentioned in this episode:“The AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter, Decisions” by Geoff Woods’The Neuron newsletter— Contact Sara Sheehan | Sara Sheehan Consulting:SaraWSheehan.comSara Sheehan on LinkedInMeet with SaraContact Nicole Hilgenkamp:Email: aiboration@outlook.comLinkedIn__TranscriptSara Sheehan: [00:00:02] Hi there, I'm Sara Sheehan and welcome to my podcast Transformational Thinkers with Sara Sheehan. Today I'm joined by Nicole Hilgenkamp. She is a digital transformation leader with the world's largest companies, where she leads enterprise scale AI and digital transformation across global operations. She is also the founder of AIboration, an AI consulting firm, helping businesses implement generative AI to enhance performance, simplify processes and drive sustainable growth. With over 30 years of experience in operational excellence and innovation, Nicole offers a practical, people-focused approach to successful AI adoption at scale. I am so excited to have you here with me today. Nicole, welcome to the show.Nicole Hilgenkamp: [00:01:04] Thanks, Sara. Happy to be here. I'm excited to talk about artificial intelligence. It's changing every single day. As soon as we hit pause on the recording, what we're going to talk about will probably be obsolete, but let's see if your listeners can take away some key aspects from today.Sara Sheehan: [00:01:24] Absolutely. What is so interesting about you, Nicole, is I have not come across a Chief AI Officer or AI consultant yet. So you are truly one of a kind, and I really want to dive into this conversation as deep as possible.Nicole Hilgenkamp: [00:01:48] Absolutely, and welcome to jobs of the future. The chief AI officer, you're seeing lots of new titles in executive leadership over the years, like Chief Growth Officer, Chief Change Agent, etc. Chief AI Officer is a recognition that artificial intelligence does not necessarily need to sit in IT, in information technology. It is a technology, yes, one of the biggest revolutions of my time that I think I'll ever see. But it is, and should be, used across enterprises, in personal and professional growth. What I love about Chief AI Officer as a job of the future, it just goes to show you that this isn't going to necessarily fit well if you put it under Chief Technology Officer. It shouldn't be there, it should be a job of its own because of its vast disruption that it's going to make in how we do business and live our life.Sara Sheehan: [00:03:00] It's truly cross-functional.Nicole Hilgenkamp: [00:03:03] Absolutely cross-functional.Sara Sheehan: [00:03:05] So it needs to be in its own function.Nicole Hilgenkamp: [00:03:10] Exactly, and that's why I think we saw the creation of this job. That it's been recognized as ...
