How to Become a Shaklee Ambassador: From Food Stamps to Freedom

In 2008, I had hit a wall.
I had just started a new career, and like a lot of people, I let my health slide. I was out of shape, tired all the time, and had no real direction. That was the year I discovered P90X. I bought the program, committed to it, and everything changed, as many of you already know.
That decision led me to join the Beachbody business in mid-2008. Later that year, I met my wife Melinda. And by 2009, we had a baby on the way, but we were broke. And I mean really broke. We were living in a small one-bedroom apartment, sleeping on a couch, and on food stamps, trying to figure out how to survive. It was one of the hardest times of our lives. But it also lit a fire in us. We had two choices. Stay stuck in that place or fight our way out. We chose to fight.
Our Rise With Beachbody
I poured everything I had into building that business. I was on a mission to help people change their lives the same way I had changed mine. And little by little, it worked. Melinda joined me in the business, and together we built one of the biggest teams in the entire company.
In 2010, I became the number one coach in all of Beachbody. We were no longer on food stamps, had freedom, had momentum, and raised our kids with both of us home every day. Our health transformed. Our finances transformed. Our lives transformed.
Beachbody was a huge part of our story, but after 17 years of loyalty and leadership, the company made a decision that blindsided everyone. They shut down their entire network marketing division. Overnight, the business we had built for nearly two decades was gone.
We could have quit. We could have walked away bitter. But we’ve never been the type to let setbacks define us.
So we regrouped. We prayed. We got clear on what we really wanted.
And then we found Shaklee.
Why Shaklee Was the Right Move
After going through what we did with Beachbody, we were very cautious. We weren’t looking for hype or quick fixes. We wanted real products, real leadership, and a real opportunity to make an impact again. Shaklee checked every box.
This company has been around for over 65 years. As most of you know, their products are clean, organic, non-toxic, and backed by decades of science. They were focused on health and sustainability long before it became trendy. This wasn’t some overnight startup. This was a company with deep roots, solid values, and a vision that matched our own.
And most important of all, we could trust them. That was everything to us.
Why You Should Consider Becoming a Shaklee Ambassador
The world is broken. People are tired, overworked, sick, stressed, and stuck. Most families have no idea how toxic their homes are or how their daily choices are affecting their health. This is where Shaklee comes in.
Their product line is simple, powerful, and built for families like ours. People who want to live healthier. People who want to protect their kids from garbage ingredients. People who want to feel good again.
And for those who want to turn that passion into income, Shaklee offers one of the best business models in the industry.

Why Now Is the Time
You might be reading this thinking you’re not ready. That’s fine. None of us were ready when we started. But we started anyway.
The world needs people who are willing to rise up and lead. People who are tired of settling. People who are sick of the toxic garbage being sold as “healthy.”
If you feel that stirring inside of you, trust it. That’s the beginning of change. I remember that feeling well.
We went from food stamps to financial freedom by helping people take back their health. We’re doing it again with Shaklee. And this time, we are bringing people with us who want to build something real, lasting, and impactful.
