Meet Jay Nixon | Health Entrepreneur & Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jay Nixon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jay, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My journey into starting Thrive Forever Fit was driven by a powerful mix of love and frustration.

On the one hand, I’ve always had an unshakeable passion for guiding individuals towards happier and healthier lives. It’s a love that’s been with me throughout my journey.

However, frustration also played a pivotal role. Witnessing people embark on their health and weight loss journeys, only to revert to their old habits within a few months, was disheartening. It became clear to me that to achieve lasting transformations, I needed to chart a new course.

So, I made a conscious decision to meld my profound fascination with human psychology and personal development (mindset) with sustainable nutrition practices and physical activity. This fusion gave birth to Thrive Forever Fit, a platform designed to empower individuals to embrace change and achieve enduring results. It’s about creating a future where people thrive in their well-being, and that’s the essence of my journey.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What truly sets me apart from others is my unwavering commitment to consistency and the relentless pursuit of the process. My life and businesses are built on the fundamental principle that discipline equals freedom. This unwavering discipline in my daily tasks and activities is what affords me boundless freedom when opportunities arise.

But what fills me with the utmost pride and excitement is the incredible impact I’ve had on people’s lives. There’s no greater reward than witnessing a client rediscover their happiness or receiving a heartfelt message from a stranger whose life has been transformed by one of my books.

As for the notion of an easy path in business or life, it’s a concept I find quite peculiar. I firmly believe that the quality of your life and the success of your business are determined by your ability to transform adversities into opportunities. This belief has been my guiding light, enabling me to persevere and continue growing both personally and professionally, even during some of the most challenging times.

If there’s one message I want the world to embrace, it’s this: No matter the adversity or situation you’re currently facing, it’s not more than you can handle; it’s simply more than you expected. This belief is a powerful compass that will guide you through even the most daunting of circumstances, and I hope it inspires others to face challenges head-on with unwavering resilience and determination.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting the area for a week, I’d want to ensure they have the best time ever with a well-rounded itinerary that captures the essence of our surroundings.

First and foremost, I’d recommend they stay at the Fairmont Desert Princess, specifically in one of the newly remodeled Privado Studio rooms. This resort offers an all-encompassing experience, from its luxurious spa and state-of-the-art fitness facilities to the delightful dining options. And let’s not forget Cecil, the Desert Tortoise who calls this place home.

To immerse ourselves in the stunning natural beauty of the area, I’d take my friend on a series of exhilarating hikes. We’d conquer Pinnacle Peak, Tom’s Thumb, and, of course, the iconic Camelback Mountain.

A visit to Old Town Scottsdale would be a must for some sightseeing, shopping, and a delectable lunch at Culinary Dropout. Be sure to try the 36-HOUR PORK RIBS; they’re an absolute must!

For dinner and cocktails, I have some favorite go-to spots. Maple & Ash offers a complete experience, from its captivating ambiance to its five-star cuisine and beverages. It’s a no-brainer.

Another gem is La Hacienda at the Fairmont, where I always go for a lime margarita with a spicy twist – habanero bitters. We’d start with tableside guacamole and savor the incredible carnitas.

And if we’re up for more culinary adventures, we’d explore Bourbon & Bone, Taco Madera, The Mission, Olive & Ivy, and, last but certainly not least, Steak 44.

This itinerary promises an unforgettable week of relaxation, adventure, and indulgence, showcasing some of the most fun, interesting, and exciting experiences in the area.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely, when it comes to success, I wholeheartedly believe that your inner circle plays a pivotal role, often even more significant than your skills or abilities.

In my journey, I’m incredibly fortunate to have someone as exceptional as Lori Crete at the heart of my “Circle of Success.” Her impact on my life cannot be overstated.

Lori possesses a unique talent for unlocking my full potential. Her unwavering vision and boundless belief in my success are nothing short of remarkable. She’s the driving force behind my motivation to always strive for my best and never settle for the status quo in life. Lori deserves immense credit and recognition for her indispensable role in my story of empowerment and transformation.
