Please stand back; I am about to dispense AWESOME

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas?! Eff that! It’s time to hand out ridiculous amounts of money to our Lean Eating winners for the Jan 2012 cohort.

Paying it Forward

You can see why this is such an incredible community to be part of. When people ask me what I do, I say “I change lives”. It sounds pretentious but it’s the real deal.

Just wait, there is more good stuff coming… we are announcing our finalists from the July 2011 cohort soon. When you see their stories, you will totally plotz.
