How Taking Risks In Work, Play and Trave...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

We are honored to sit down with Morgan Zanotti, the visionary co-founder of Primal Kitchen. She shares her backstory from living on a budget abroad, to applying for jobs she didn’t feel qualified for, moving across the country on a whim and making the many sacrifices that come with entrepreneurship. Her startup story is one of determination, passion and trusting the process. 

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that aligns with our values of travel, connection, and wellness—and discover how small steps can lead to big transformations in your life. We also get to hear a sneak peek about Morgan’s new venture - Drink Waay, a protein infused sparkling water, launching in 2025.


TAKEAWAYS:

  • Morgan emphasizes the importance of travel in shaping her identity
  • Imposter syndrome is a common experience

  • Balancing work and family is a constant challenge
  • Finding presence in chaos is essential for well-being
  • Taking action is more important than waiting for perfection
  • A strong support system is crucial for success
