Julian Hearn
Founder of Huel
Julian Hearn is an internet entrepreneur, marketer, and dad from Aylesbury, England. He graduated from Bournemouth University with a BA (Hons) in 1996 and then went on to work in online marketing for 11 years for the likes of Tesco.com, Starbucks and Waitrose. He started his first internet business in 2008 with an initial £1500 investment, and within 18 months it attracted over 1 million monthly visits and was successfully sold within 3 years. Always passionate about sport and fitness Julian’s next startup was Bodyhack, a health and fitness website. He acted as a human guinea pig for Bodyhack, obeyed a strict diet plan and exercised no more than three hours/week for 3 months. This experience led to the realisation that fitness was 80% diet and 20% exercise. But he found eating healthily time consuming and felt bad about all the animal protein he was consuming. So he looked for a better way. Huel was born out of this research. Julian is now the Founder of Huel, a nutritionally complete food.

She was a total foodie and so decided that she wanted her business to be about food. At first she came up with an idea that didn’t work out and then instead of giving up she came up with another idea: to create natural, organic salad dressings! In her second year of trading she managed to get her salad dressings stocked in supermarkets nationwide. She started her business from home and around the same time she started it she also had a baby! What she has achieved is amazing and so I chatted with her to find out how she’s managed to do it. Gem is going to be joining us at The Sisterhood event on the 20th September 2012 and sharing more insights with us – including telling us all exactly how she got supermarkets to stock her product and how she managed to get crowdfunding. It’s going to be an amazing event and I would love you to join us. To find out more and to book on go here. Enjoy the video, Gem really is amazing and her story goes to show what’s possible.

Michael Van-Dongen
Founder of Vegishake
Vegishake founder, Michael Van-Dongen, has a personal passion for health and fitness. Growing up with a loving family, Michael understood early on how important it was to eat the right foods. However, this was easily said then done, as there were very limited places offering Nutritious Foods. For years now, Michael has looked at great ways of implementing great food into the diet for friends and family. During his Msc Degree, studying Applied Sports Nutrition, Michael decided that he would make a business that centered around a subject that he was passionate about, and had done with his family when he was younger.
