Entrepreneurs are known for being driven, focused, and willing to pour everything they’ve got into their work. But what happens when success comes at the cost of health? That’s the question we tackled in this week’s Wichmann & Co Podcast with Dr. Samantha Ritz.
Dr. Ritz has a unique perspective, blending her background as a physical therapist with her passion for coaching high achievers toward holistic wellness. She knows firsthand the struggles business owners face. Long days, endless to-do lists, and the constant pressure to perform.
In our conversation, she shared why mindset is often the biggest barrier to health, how movement can serve as preventative medicine, and why small, consistent changes matter more than grand overhauls.
A few standout takeaways:
- Mindset is 70% of the battle when it comes to making lasting changes.
- Movement doesn’t have to be complicated; even small daily habits can reset your body and mind.
- Preventative health isn’t just physical—it’s about mental and emotional well-being too.
- Balance is not optional. It’s necessary if you want to build something that lasts.
As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to treat self-care as a reward after the hard work is done. Dr. Ritz reminded us that health is not a bonus; it’s the foundation that makes everything else possible.
This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to choose between building a business and living well. In fact, the two depend on each other.
