Reduce stress in your life — take a moment to look at what elements of your life are leading to the most stress and set up an action plan to create the supportive environment you need to feel strong and secure within yourself.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Kara Landau.

Kara’s mission it to continue to educate, inspire, and make eating a prebiotic rich diet easy and enjoyable to all those that she can encounter.


  1. Your personal relationships will be tested. The deeper you get into running a company from the top level, the more it can hit home, and the dynamic of the relationships you possess will be tested. Understanding how this may affect those around you, and their responses to it can help you understand who has the capacity to support you versus who can not, and hopefully help save everyone a lot of strain as time goes on.
  2. Things will take twice as long and cost twice as much as you expect. From product development to sales — it is essential that you place reasonable targets and expectations on yourself so that you don’t feel you are constantly chasing your tail or falling behind.
