In this inspiring episode of Wellness Marketing 101, I sit down with Renee Plyler, co-owner of Elevated Studios, a jiu-jitsu school in Wilmington, Delaware that she runs with her husband. Renee’s journey is a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship often starts with passion, pivots, and a willingness to grow beyond your comfort zone. Once an elementary school teacher with no athletic background, Renee never imagined herself owning a martial arts studio. But driven by her husband’s vision, her own creativity, and a desire for more freedom, she transitioned from education to entrepreneurship, building a thriving family business along the way. Renee shares openly about the realities of running a business with your spouse, why they chose to homeschool their kids, and how the entrepreneurial path transformed not just their careers but their entire lifestyle.   In This Episode, We Discuss: How Renee left teaching and embraced entrepreneurship How Renee in love with jiu-jitsu, even when it felt “weird” at first Running a family business and managing both marriage and entrepreneurship Why Renee and her husband chose homeschooling and how it shapes their family values The difference between “have to” learning and “want to” learning Hitting a business growth ceiling and how they broke through it The power of mentorship, community, and surrounding yourself with like-minded business owners Navigating social media for business without getting stuck in the scroll cycle   Connect with Renee: 📸 Instagram: @elevatedstudios🌐 Website: https://elevatedstudiosmartialarts.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, share it with another entrepreneur building a purpose-driven business and don’t forget to leave a quick review to help more wellness businesses find the show!
