Bold Like Her Podcast
Never thought quinoa could be in beer? Neither did the founder until she encountered a quinoa-barley brew on her travels through South America. Inspired, she returned to Boston, enlisted a few bold MIT scientists and embarked on a journey of experimentation to create a beer that would deliver all of the refreshment, with none of the bloat. The team refined the recipe for three years and over 100 formulations, until the crisp perfection that is Meli was born — the first beer in the U.S. brewed exclusively with quinoa as the base.

I sat down with her for her very first podcast where she shared how she got involved in the fitness world and grew quickly. Like many fitness studios, she was affected by the pandemic, even having to close one of her studios. These challenges did not stop her.

During our conversation Simone shares how she continues to work through mental health issues while creating and continuing to grow her businesses. Her strength shows as she embraces the idea of sitting in discomfort so that she can flourish.
