·26 min·1 clip

Jamie says her group of colleagues meets monthly to build a one-year and five-year personal life plan.

1. I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein features Jamie Greenawalt and Foot Levelers in a wellness-focused conversation. 2. Jamie Greenawalt is the president of Foot Levelers, a third-generation leader in the company her grandfather started in 1952. 3. The episode asks how Foot Levelers builds custom orthotics, why Jamie leads the company the way she does, and how she thinks about goals. 4. Jamie explains that Foot Levelers has been in business for 73 years and has sponsored the Blue Ridge Marathon in Roanoke, Virginia, for 12 years. 5. She says the race is America's toughest road marathon and describes events including the full marathon, half marathon, the goat, the slow K, and a 100-mile option. 6. Jamie outlines the company's foot scan process, including a 3D scan and more than 280,000 data points from the bottom of the foot. 7. She says the product is prescribed through chiropractic offices, physical therapists, and podiatrists rather than sold as a one-size-fits-all insert. 8. Jamie explains that Foot Levelers supports all three arches of the foot and connects foot mechanics to the gait cycle, posture, and low-back pain. 9. She says the company makes 37 products and groups them into sports, dress, mother nurture, custom flip flops, and specialty options. 10. She describes the mother nurture product as a three-orthotic system for trimester two, trimester three, and the first year postpartum. 11. Jamie says the flexibility of the orthotics matters because runners and people who stand on concrete need support without restricting movement. 12. She compares custom orthotics to orthodontic retainers, saying a generic size does not match where someone's arch actually sits. 13. Jamie describes her own use of Foot Levelers inserts at the Chicago Marathon Expo and says she did not feel the usual end-of-day foot pain. 14. She explains that the foot is the foundation of the body and uses the phrase, "you wear out your body, where are you going to live?" 15. Jamie says she meets monthly with colleagues from different businesses to discuss personal and professional life and to act as an accountability board. 16. She says she keeps both a daily task list and an aspiration list for goals over one year and five years, including travel and fitness. 17. The tone stays conversational and practical, with Lindsey Hein asking follow-up questions and Jamie answering in a steady, detailed way. 18. The format mixes company history, product explanation, personal life planning, and end-of-episode questions about books, travel, and future goals. 19. People interested in running, foot health, leadership, and goal setting. 20. Listeners wanting pure race talk or a short, narrow running-news update.
