Show Notes
Sometimes the biggest transformations start with a pause—and a shift toward something that feels more aligned, intentional, and meaningful.
Lauren sits down with Nate Crisel, co-founder of Sköshify, to talk about entrepreneurship, personal growth, and the creation of Think Tank—a clean, brain-boosting focus blend crafted to support clarity, creativity, and everyday mental energy.
After spending more than 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry, Nate felt pulled toward something different: a path rooted in wellness, purpose, and helping people feel their best. Think Tank was born from a simple idea in Nate’s own coffee cup—and has grown into a product that supports the modern need for focus without the crash, chemicals, or overstimulation.
This conversation offers insight into meaningful career transitions, purpose-driven work, and the intention behind building a wellness brand from the ground up.
In this episode, we explore:
How stepping back can lead to aligned growth and deeper clarity
Why Nate left corporate life after 25+ years to pursue purpose-driven entrepreneurship
The intentional process behind creating Think Tank
What makes Think Tank a clean, supportive alternative for focus & mental clarity
How purpose, curiosity & sustainability shape Sköshify’s wellness mission
Why simple, consistent habits often make the biggest difference
