Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with William Wang, founder of Zentein Nutrition Inc., located in London, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Zentein Nutrition creates innovative, delicious, and nutritious snacks to support high-performing lifestyles. Our first product, the peanut butter cup collagen protein bar, contains just five clean ingredients (collagen, oats, peanut butter, dark chocolate, and honey) with 25 grams of protein per bar to easily support your body after workouts, during your workday, or as a snack.
Collagen is a principal component of connective tissue. Its supplementation has been studied to have beneficial effects on muscle recovery, skin health, joint health, and gut health. As such, our protein bars are enjoyed by athletes from all disciplines and also those that desire collagen's potential benefits for healthier skin and hair. We have received amazing feedback from Google and Amazon reviews, and we strive to continue making products that can support our consumer's lifestyles without sacrificing on taste.
Tell us about yourself
I'm a recent university graduate, a logistics officer in the Canadian Armed Forces reserves, and extremely passionate about maintaining health, fitness, and food sustainability. I found it difficult to find convenient and healthy meal options to support me during my studies, work, and training, so I created my own protein bar through Zentein Nutrition. I'm motivated every day by seeing my ideas come to life in the physical world and by knowing that this is only the start of my journey.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being able to share something I created with the public and receiving positive feedback, smiles, and creating an impact as a result.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Finding the time to fit everything I want to do in one day. There’s always something I can improve or work on, so sometimes, it is hard to stop working.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Create a physical and mental fitness routine and make it a habit, so you don’t neglect your health.
- Find time to read books or listen to podcasts to expand your learnings and perspectives.
- Be consistent in your efforts and time invested. Results don’t happen overnight but are the product of a lot of behind-the-scenes work.
