Jadah Sellner is a serial entrepreneur, the co-founder of Simple Green Smoothies, and the creator of the Love Over Metrics Incubator, a 9-month mastermind program that focuses on business growth strategies and techniques for female entrepreneurs. She is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and host of the Lead With Love Podcast. As an online community growth strategist and business mentor, she is passionate about helping businesses and personal brands build and grow their online communities through love, service, and impact.

Jadah shares how creating a 30-day green smoothie challenge helped her attract over 1 million email subscribers while building a 6-figure business. She explains why she believes the key to creating a successful challenge is to leverage the human-connection aspect of building a community and avoiding shiny object syndrome. She also explains why she decided to exit Simple Green Smoothies to follow her passion for helping highly-motivated female entrepreneurs and the mindset obstacles and fears she had to overcome during that transition as well as the obstacles she faced while preparing for her TEDx talk.
