Community is the Cure — Inside the Toronto East Fitness & Wellness Expo with The Gratitude Company

In this episode of Insuring Your Success, host Bram Bains takes you to the Toronto East Fitness & Wellness Expo at the Canada Event Centre in Whitby — hosted by Cameron Ward and Ricky Lee, with a vision to bring everything fitness and wellness under one roof. Bram was there alongside The Gratitude Company, with a wall activation in the lobby asking one simple question: what are you grateful for? Before hitting the floor, Bram caught part of a talk on the main stage from Little T Fitness — a content creator with over two million followers — sharing mindset tips and social media wisdom. From there, Bram went raw and unfiltered on the floor with some of the brands and vendors in attendance. In this episode you'll hear from: Little T Fitness — 2M+ follower content creator speaking on mindset and social media Heart of a Champ — Rajan shares the story behind his mental health clothing brand, inspired by DeMar DeRozan's tweet that saved his life Bio X Protein — a Canadian brand with decades in the market, available at Popeye's across Canada Stretch Healer — Rhonda, a 62-year-old model teaching people to listen to their bodies and reverse the aging process Vanguard / Hybrid Training Gym — Josh, running a 10,000 sq ft facility in East York and Ajax, ranked number one in the city Fitness & Wellness Travel — helping individuals and communities create customized wellness experiences worldwide Power Yoga Canada Durham — Kayla on building a studio that is a true home for healing and community Bare Protein — a Canadian-founded, clean protein with just three ingredients. One theme came up in every conversation on that floor: community. Every single person, when asked what they were grateful for, led with health, family, and community.
