Introducing the Risk & Hustle Podcast: The Story Behind the Blend
For the past ten years, Boost Bowls has grown far beyond a smoothie shop. It has become a story of community, grit, creativity, and the relentless belief that ordinary people can build extraordinary things. And now, we’re excited to share a new chapter of that story.
Introducing Risk & Hustle — the official podcast createdby Boost Bowls founders, Tatiana and Val Mehmeti.
What started with a dream, two young kids, and a willingness to take risks has become a multi-location brand rooted in purpose and people. This podcast pulls back the curtain on how it all happened.
Why Risk & Hustle?
Every business, every family, and every dream is built on two things: the risks you take and the hustle that carries you through them.For years, customers, staff, and community members have asked how Boost Bowls started, how it grew, and how Tatiana and Val built it together as partners in both life and business. The podcast finally gives space to tell those stories — honestly, unfiltered, and in real time.Risk & Hustle isn’t about perfect success. It’s about the messy middle: • Leaving comfort for the unknown
Risk & Hustle isn’t about perfect success. It’s about the messy middle:
- Taking big leaps with no guarantee
- Starting businesses with limited resources
- Balancing entrepreneurship with parenting

- Learning to grow through failure
- Building a relationship while building a brand
What You’ll Hear on the Podcast
Each episode dives into a piece of the real Boost Bowls story — the wins, the setbacks, the lessons, and everything in between.
Episode 1: California — The Leap Before the Leap
How a cross-country move, a low point, and a moment of clarity set the tone for everything that came next.
Episode 2: The Real Leap
The decision to walk away from comfort, careers, and expectations to chase something bigger — even when nothing made sense.
Episode 3: Our First Business — BoostCycle
The studio that taught us discipline, branding, community building, burnout, and the power of reinvention.
Episode 4: The Birth of Boost Bowls — “BoostJuice”
What started as a simple idea to offer fresh juices inside BoostCycle became the seed of Boost Bowls. We share the scrappy beginnings — negotiating a low-rent setup without a formal lease, learning operations on the fly, waiting through slow months, and the moment demand finally hit. This is the pivot that turned a side idea into the foundation of our brand.
