Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Kion founder, Angelo Keely, to discuss all things amino acids and how his passion for wellness and personal development unfolded over the years. Angelo shares how his unconventional upbringing and several traumatic events at young ages shaped him, how his trauma recovery inspired an exploration into wellness, and how he continues to develop his health knowledge today. We also discuss what amino acids are and why they’re essential for our bodies, how amino acids affect focus and brain health, and the difference between amino acids and protein. Finally, Angelo shares how he built Kion and why he chooses people over ideas, and what his experience has been like as a working father.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:02.9	Guys, before we get into today's episode, I am so excited because it is merch launch day.
0:11.9	I love nothing more than creating products that are comfortable and cute and amazing for all of us to wear and match and just be a part of
0:23.6	like the Freckled Foodie family together in. So I'm super pumped about this new limited drop.
0:30.7	It is two pieces. So we're doing a smaller capsule than usual. We're going to test some new
0:35.5	things out. We have a sweatshirt and a graphic tea.
0:38.8	It's the same design, different colors. And actually, one of the FFM members was the
0:45.4	suggestor of the slogan, because I asked my subscribers, like what are things that I say all
0:51.2	the time that we should turn into merch. And this one is celebrate your wins because it is so motherfucking important to celebrate your wins, whether they
0:58.8	are big or small. Every time you accomplish something, that is a win and it is something to celebrate
1:05.4	rather than just looking for the next thing and immediately raising the goalpost and not taking a second
1:12.2	to relish in the celebration of what you just accomplished. It's something I'm always trying
1:17.6	to remind myself of. So we made merch out of it. There is a light blue sweatshirt that is truly
1:23.8	my favorite thing in the world. Whenever I've worn out all my stories, I get so many messages
1:26.6	saying how incredible the color looks. And it is truly the cutest thing that I've ever put
1:33.4	on my body. And it's super comfortable. It's perfect for the like late chilly summer nights.
1:38.9	And as we enter into fall. So the sweatshirt is a light blue. The t-shirt is white. it says, celebrate your wins on the front. And then I love stuff that has like text on the back for the person behind you kind of. So it says, thank you, thank you, thank you for being you. And there's a little FFM that on the hoodie is hidden under the actual like hood and then on the t-shirt is just
2:02.9	at the top.
2:03.9	The designs, I want to shout out, Hannah.
2:06.5	Thank you so much.
2:07.8	She has designed actually all of the merch we have done.
2:10.2	So shout out Hannah.
