Mirna Valerio on Redefining Professional Running & Dealing with Anxiety
Dan Churchill's The Epic Table
03/23/22 • 80 min
Legends, I am stoked to bring you today’s episode with Mirna Valerio! Mirna started her blog, Fatgirlrunning, to document her journey through running as a larger woman in the world of thinner athletes. Her blog took off and after a long road of consistency, perseverance, determination of this woman who is now a professional athlete running for LuluLemon. Before becoming a professional athlete, Mirna was a cross-country coach and a teacher for 18 years while leading the diversity and inclusion program at her school. Her life trajectory changed when one day she was driving home from work and began experiencing significant chest pain and was rushed to the hospital. After many examinations, it was clear that she had a panic attack - which felt impossible to her because as she had previously thought, “Black people don’t have panic attacks.” Due to the extreme quantity of responsibilities she was taking on in her life, she wasn’t sleeping and was on track to an early death. The doctor asked her, “do you want to see your son grow up?” and from that moment forward, she changed the way she lived, from training and sleep to nutrition and everything in between. After breaking out her treadmill, she started running 5k’s every weekend in New York City and is now sponsored by Lululemon and LL Bean as well as multiple others. In addition to her athletic career, Mirna is also a speaker and the author of her memoir “A Beautiful Work in Progress.” In today’s episode we dive into her journey of becoming a professional athlete, her relationship with anxiety and the stereotypes that accompany being a Black person with anxiety as well as a deeper look into what it’s like being a Black woman in the United States. We specifically discuss:
- Being a Black person with anxiety
- How to become a professional athlete?
- How can an athlete get sponsored?
- Breaking stereotypes
- What are symptoms of overworking?
Team, Mirna is a legend and this episode provides a unique look into her life and who she is. You can connect with her at the following links:

He is a physician and a research scientist, the founder and leader of the Angiogenesis Foundation, a renowned speaker, and the New York Times Best Selling Author of “Eat to Beat Disease.” Dr. Li does amazing work. The Angiogenesis Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization disrupting disease through angiogenesis, the process the body uses to grow new blood vessels.

His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 74 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. Dr. Li has a diverse approach to combating disease. In his work as a physician, he also developed a dedication to prevent, not only treat, disease through food.

Jacob Pechenik on How He Developed a New Food System Through Lettuce Grow
Dan Churchill's The Epic Table
06/01/22 • 68 min
Team, I am stoked to bring you today’s episode with the incredibly smart Jacob Pechenik. This absolute legend is the founder of Lettuce Grow, a company creating “Farm Stands” which are small hydroponic micro-farms that allow you to grow your own pre-sprouted plants that are ready to harvest, fresh, within three weeks. This company is truly amazing. Not only are they giving their consumers the power to produce at least 20% of their own food while using 95% less water. They are pesticide-free, non-GMO, use recyclable eco-conscious packaging, and do a host of other amazing things. If you are interested in entrepreneurship, sustainability, and or the agricultural industry, this is definitely the episode for you.
Funny enough, too many it may seem like Jacob started Lettuce Grow out of nowhere. His story is actually quite incredible. Jacob attended MIT with no idea what he wanted to study. As he was undecided on his career trajectory, he chose the hardest major at the school, chemical engineering, and did it, graduating with a perfect GPA. I don’t know about you legends but to me, that’s pretty impressive. After graduating, he started a couple of companies in the finance and tech space, ended up becoming a film producer having helped produce over 30 films in his career, and then decided to drop all of that and get into the agricultural space in a unique way.
After leaving the film industry, Jacob co-created the Farm Project and eventually built Lettuce Grow to help consumers develop a new food system. At this point, Lettuce Grow has over 1.6 million square feet of farmland across all of their individual consumer farm stands, which are truly improving the health of people and the planet.
In today’s episode we specifically discuss:
- How do I start a food selling business?
- Focus on the experience, flavor, and impact. By dialing these factors in, you can make a competitive product.
- How can a business be sustainable?
- You have to address all aspects of your business from ideation, design, production, function, distribution, and end of life. Lettuce Grow focuses on this.
- How can a farm be environmentally sustainable?
- Lettuce Grow provides individuals with fresh produce that is better for them and for the planet. It requires 95% less water, eliminates trips to the grocery store thereby reducing co2 emissions, and has a host of other benefits.
