EFR 491: How to Make a Career Pivot to Pursue Your True Passion with Sean and Dala McDevitt

<p>Up till only a few years ago, Sean and Dala McDevitt never saw themselves leading a fast-growing community of wellness enthusiasts with 19 coaches on staff that has led to over 2800 people completely transforming their lives.</p> <p>The couple had always had a passion for health and fitness (they actually met at a gym) even back when they worked traditional jobs (Sean was in sales and marketing, and Dala was a labor and delivery nurse).</p> <p>In 2016, Dala set up her Instagram profile @dalalovesdumbbells to share how she found and healed herself through fitness, with the hope of inspiring and elevating others as well. Monetizing the brand was not on her radar; that is, until her budding community began referring to themselves with the hashtag #DLDNation.</p> <p>Two years later, Sean and Dala decided to quit full-time employment to fully dedicate themselves to #DLDNation.</p> <p>There was nothing easy about <em>both</em> Sean and Dala leaving their traditional career and plunging headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship; specifically in the health and wellness coaching space. What’s more, neither Sean nor Dala were “certified” trainers or nutritionists.</p> <p>Listen in as the McDevitts go down memory lane and speak on lessons learned since their life-changing decision to become online trainers exclusively through the #DLDNation brand, including how they navigated the many challenges of running a coaching business brought on by the pandemic.</p> <p> </p> <p>Follow Sean <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/fitnessshaman/">@fitnessshaman</a></p> <p>Follow Dala <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/dalalovesdumbbells/">@dalalovesdumbbells</a></p> <p>Follow Chase <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/chase_chewning/">@chase_chewning</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em>Episode resources:</em></p> <ul> <li>Save 15% on CBN tinctures from Cured Nutrition at <a href= "https://bit.ly/3iZWINu">https://bit.ly/3iZWINu</a> </li> <li>Watch the full video and learn more about Sean and Dala at <a href= "https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/e
