In this episode, I sit down with Mackenzie and Nolan, a couple and former bankers who decided to leave finance after running into a problem they couldn’t ignore. Long hours, no time to eat, and a daily habit of grabbing protein bars that claimed to be “healthy” — but didn’t feel that way.
When Mackenzie started experiencing constant bloating, they took a closer look at what was actually inside the bars they were eating. What they found: overly processed ingredients, fillers, and products built for convenience, not health. After searching for a cleaner alternative and coming up empty-handed, they made a bold decision — to build their own.
That decision became Hol Health Club.
We talk about the leap from banking to building, what it’s like starting a company with your partner, and how a simple personal pain point turned into a mission to rethink functional nutrition for people with demanding lives.
If you’ve ever felt stuck choosing between convenience and feeling good — this one’s for you.
