Catharine Arnston PhD, MBA, BA, the founder of ENERGYBits and a passionate advocate for wellness and entrepreneurship, joins me today to share her incredible story.

Catharine's path to entrepreneurship was unplanned. She was in international business before her sister’s cancer diagnosis turned her world upside down. After researching plant-based nutrition, Catharine uncovered the power of algae as a superfood, leading to the creation of ENERGYBits.

Despite not having a background in nutrition or science, she dedicated herself to studying and spreading the word about algae's numerous benefits. ENERGYBits has become a billion-dollar wellness industry leader, and Catharine’s commitment to health and entrepreneurship is more than evident.

"If you are terrified, you are on the right path. Because it pushes you out of your comfort zone to learn something new that you'll need to get to the next level. " ~ Catharine Arnston PhD, MBA, BA
