info_outlineIn Episode 230 of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, host Vincent Ferguson welcomes Glenna Gonzalez — a powerhouse marketing strategist, author, and CEO of J.B. Tyler Marketing & Consulting — for an inspiring conversation on reinvention, resilience, and reclaiming your health after 40.
Glenna is no stranger to success. With over two decades of experience in public relations, media strategy, and business development, she has guided countless entrepreneurs to greater visibility through her firm and digital magazine, Entrepreneurs in the Spotlight. But this episode reveals a different side of Glenna — one marked by personal transformation and a renewed commitment to wellness through Ferguson’s Six Weeks to Fitness program.
How Glenna Lost 15 Pounds and Gained Momentum
Initially joining the program out of curiosity, Glenna quickly discovered how different it was from her usual treadmill routines. "From the first class, I was blown away," she says, crediting the energy and support from team members Carmen, Skye, and George. By fully engaging in the twice-weekly workouts, Glenna dropped eight pounds in just two to three weeks, ultimately losing a total of 15 pounds across two cycles of the program.
Her results weren't just physical. The Six Weeks to Fitness platform — particularly its educational videos and expert interviews — inspired Glenna to dive deeper. She now co-leads a women’s wellness discussion group and actively participates in the school’s private online platform, helping others navigate their health journeys.
Balancing Business, Family, and Self-Care
What makes Glenna’s story even more compelling is how she juggles it all. A mother of four in a blended family, she holds two advanced degrees (an MBA and a Master’s in Human Services), runs a successful PR firm, and still finds time to prioritize health. Her secret? Structure, purpose, and a mindset rooted in service.
"You have to know that regardless of how old you are, there are unlimited opportunities for what you can do," Glenna encourages. Her journey is proof that it's never too late to start over — or level up.
Visibility Through Podcasting & AI
Glenna also shares why she believes in platforms like Six Weeks to Fitness for business owners looking to scale. "Podcasts like yours offer seven hours, four platforms, and 11 interactions — everything you need to stay in front of your audience," she explains, referencing the popular 7-4-11 rule for digital marketing.
She’s equally excited about the future, particularly with AI tools that help streamline business tasks. “AI wrote out an entire business roadmap for me,” she shares, showing how automation and human insight can coexist for powerful results.
