#58 Building a Life Worth Living Starts With Your Health with guest Jared Thurmon

What if the most productive thing you could do is get well — in every sense of the word?In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, host Chris LeBrun sits down with Jared Thurmon, a founder and investor building ventures at the intersection of wellness and hospitality. Jared's lifelong conviction is simple: true health is the foundation everything else is built on. And now he's building that conviction into reality — co-founding Santerra, a 320-acre luxury wellness resort in the Arizona desert designed to transform guests through physical vitality, mental clarity, and spiritual connection.Chris and Jared dig into what it really means to be healthy, why so many of us look fine on the outside while struggling within, and how aligning what we profess with how we actually live changes everything. Jared also shares what a DNA test revealed about his drive to build — and why self-awareness might be the most underrated health tool of all.Show LinksSign up for Jared's newsletter - https://www.1upyourlife.com/Connect with Jared on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thurmon/Follow Jared on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jaredthurmonChapters00:00 Introduction03:33 The Foundation of True Health06:30 Aligning Beliefs with Actions09:46 The Importance of Authentic Relationships15:26 Navigating Loneliness in Modern Society18:35 Faith and Business21:11 The Drive for Innovation and Growth21:44 The Genetics of Innovation25:37 Transforming Legacy Institutions27:03 Navigating Innovation in Established Organizations29:54 The Vision Behind Santerra: A Wellness Retreat35:24 The Role of Hospitality in Healing37:48 Building a Business with Your Partner40:23 The Journey to Launching Santerra41:52 Prioritizing Health for High Achievers45:03 Exploring Taboo Topics: The Newsletter Journey48:47 The QuestionsThis episode is sponsored by Efficient.appDon't waste time searching for the best software.
