Better Humans Ep. 26 - Cori Kurtz

We're back on the Better Humans Podcast, and today I'm joined by Cori Kurtz — entrepreneur, intrapreneur, peptide pioneer, and one of the most refreshingly honest humans you'll ever hear from. Cori and I talk about what happens when you walk away from everything you've ever known — and how that single decision sets off a chain reaction that changes everything.Cori grew up as a devout Jehovah's Witness, spending 70 hours a month in ministry as a pioneer and doing it all with a full heart. But as her kids got older and the mandate to parent from a place of fear grew louder, she and her husband Bronson made one of the hardest calls of their lives — they left, together, as a family unit. What followed was a season of rebuilding from scratch: a new community, a new identity, a new sense of purpose, and a whole lot of beautiful, messy experimentation.We get into how that journey led her from memorial slideshow videos to chiropractic sales (with a 77% close rate, by the way) to diving headfirst into the world of peptides and holistic longevity — and why she won't sell anything she hasn't first put in her own body. We talk about the difference between research-grade and pharma-grade peptides, why the medical model in America is built to manage decline rather than optimize life, and how Cori is working to make people educated consumers in an industry that's still the wild, wild west.We also go deep on purpose — what fills the void when a lifelong identity falls away, the ripple effect of just showing up and caring for yourself, and why Cori is convinced she belongs on big stages someday (you heard it here first).If you've ever felt like you had skills and value but no idea where to aim them — or like your best self is still becoming — this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath.Connect with Cori on Instagram: @cutecoriWe're also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oou7RXcQ177Fgd2UmCtqO?si=19356ebbcad74d9a&nd=1&dlsi=3c58ec8fa2644443Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-humans/id1795206136
