Series 1: From Passion to Practice – Wellbeing Founder Stories
In Series 1, we go behind the scenes with founders who built their wellbeing businesses brick by brick — long before corporate partnerships or institutional growth came into play.
These are stories from the front lines:
fitness professionals, physios, and health entrepreneurs who turned personal missions into thriving clinics, studios, and care models. From burnout to breakthroughs, you’ll hear what it really takes to grow a purpose-led wellness business from the inside out.
What You'll Learn:
From Purpose to Practice
Real stories of how everyday practitioners became entrepreneurs — and what kept them going when things got hard.
Founders Who Stayed Patient-First
Whether launching solo or building teams, these guests prioritized care, community, and outcomes over hype.
Growing a Practice Without Burning Out
How they built systems that supported growth — without losing their passion, values, or sanity.
Practical Tools You Can Use
Everything from pricing models and mentorship structures to compliance systems and hiring strategies that work.

Built for Founders,
by a Growth Partner
I’m Scott Shuman — a Growth Partner to wellbeing and healthcare founders across the globe. I help clinics and wellness companies create standout offers, land institutional partnerships, and build systems for long-term, scalable growth.
I launched The Wellness Growth Show to spotlight the innovators shaping what’s next in care, whether they’re scaling through corporate contracts or building purpose-driven communities from the ground up. Through these conversations, I share what’s working (and what’s not), so more founders can grow with clarity, confidence, and impact.
