Summary: <p>This episode of The Startup Story features Dr, Jen Esquer or as she is known by her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, Doc Jen Fit. Doc Jen is the founder of The Mobility Method. After spending some time with Jen, I realized how much our bodies are capable of and how little most of us, including myself, truly don't understand. This is especially true in the arena of mobility. Yet Jen’s startup story is not one centered around health or fitness. It's actually a story of an entrepreneur that never had a vision to be an entrepreneur in the first place.</p> <p>In this episode, you will learn just how incredibly powerful our own narrative (whether it be a positive one or negative one) can impact our life and our decisions. You will also hear how important it is to surround yourself with likeminded people for support and collaboration. Additionally, Doc Jen shares her amazing story of how she grew her Instagram following to over 500,000 by simply being of service to her community. Jen’s story is so compelling because despite being surrounded by people, encouraging her to step out in confidence and start her own business, what actually got her to pursue her dream was her genuine passion to want to help others.
