It’s that time of year again – the holiday season, with all the festive treats that come along with it.
And as an entrepreneur, you’re also pretty used to long hours working on building your business.
Neither of these necessarily makes for the healthiest lifestyle…
But have no fear! Veteran entrepreneurs will be sharing their experiences on this very topic at this month’s Entrepreneurs Unpluggd event: “Resolution Ready: How to Stay Healthy While Starting a Business.”

Who are these healthy rock stars? In a nutshell:
Jamie Russo, Founder of Enerspace
Jamie’s background is a mix of start-ups, big 6 consulting and Fortune 500 working in healthcare and consumer packaged goods. Her passion is health and wellness, particularly helping people create a lifestyle that allows them to excel at their business endeavors and achieve superior mental and physical wellness. Her passion for wellness and her business acumen intersected when she founded Enerspace, a co-working space designed to be a beautiful, inspiring workspace that fosters well-being. The first Enerspace location opened in 2012 Chicago's West Loop and the second in 2013 Palo Alto, CA.
Julie Smolyansky, President & CEO of Lifeway Foods
Julie Smolyansky became the youngest female CEO of a publicly held firm when she took over her father’s kefir business in 2002 at the age of 27, after his sudden death. Since being named CEO and director of Lifeway Foods (NASDAQ: LWAY) Julie has continued the company’s growth trajectory with creative product development and marketing, bringing an Eastern European product into the U.S. mainstream and boosting annual company revenues to nearly $90 million by 2012, from $12 million when she took over. Julie and her family were one of 48 families allowed to settle in Chicago from the Former Soviet Union in 1976 when she was just one year old. Her mother Ludmila opened the first Russian delicatessen in Chicago’s Rogers Park in 1978 and eventually owned 5 locations, giving the Smolyansky family its entry into the food industry. Julie has vivid memories of being an early “guinea pig” for the kefir business founded by her parents in 1986 whether sampling new flavors and formulations, or traveling to food shows to help her parents build Lifeway into the first U.S. company taken public by a Russian immigrant. Julie lives in Chicago and is the mother of two girls.
