We were lucky to catch up with Quentin Pullen recently and have shared our conversation below.

Quentin, appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

In recent years, I’ve turned my focus fully toward my community, making it my personal mission to help build something stronger and more united. Over the past five years, I’ve run for political office twice, not out of ambition, but out of duty. As a veteran, I believe service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. It’s a lifelong calling. That commitment runs deep in me. I was raised the son of a preacher, a man who showed me every day what it meant to serve with humility, faith, and consistency. His example shaped my path, and today, I carry that legacy forward by serving my neighbors and fighting for a better future for all of us.

Quentin, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’ve spent nearly 30 years in the health and wellness industry, helping people realize their best selves physically, mentally, and emotionally. I love what I do because it’s more than a business; it’s a calling. Recently, we’ve expanded our wellness services to offer a more holistic approach, incorporating senior fitness, youth development, and community-based programs.

As I’ve become more activated in my community, I’ve come to believe this simple truth: to build a stronger community, we must create a healthier one. The current climate—both physically and politically—is not well, and we can’t afford to ignore it.

I’m also deeply involved in several activist organizations, which keep me pretty busy. But no matter how full my schedule gets, I always carve out time to take care of what I call the machine, the body and mind that drives everything I do. That means exercising daily, preparing my meals, reading to sharpen my thinking, and meditating to stay centered. My energy doesn’t come from chance; it comes from lifestyle and discipline.

Wellness isn’t just my profession, it’s how I live, how I lead, and how I serve.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

I know it may sound cliché, but my mission in life is to leave the world better than I found it. Some may call that idealistic, but for me, it’s simply how I live. Through my business, I help people enhance their overall health, both physically and mentally. That means guiding them through the hard work of breaking old habits and creating new ones that lead to greater balance, energy, and joy.

A lot of people think wellness coaching is just about exercise, but it’s much deeper than that. Like politics, wellness is about access to the right information and the will to act on it. In both my professional and activist life, I help people connect to the knowledge, tools, and support they need to change their lives. Whether it’s a client reclaiming their health or a neighbor finding their voice in the community, the goal is the same: to empower people toward meaningful change.

In the end, everything I do, whether it’s fitness, advocacy, or leadership, is about helping people live stronger, fuller lives. That’s how I believe we create a better world—one action, one person, one breakthrough at a time

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I love this question. Let’s talk about street cred. Or as I like to call it, building capital.

When my wife first moved into my home, she quickly noticed something: I talked to all of my neighbors. She asked me how I knew so many people, and I explained that I grew up in a community where we all knew each other. And the way you start knowing people? You say hello.

That may sound simple, but I believe it’s still the foundation for creating meaningful relationships. The digital world has given us access to bigger audiences, but fewer real connections. At first, I didn’t understand the whole ‘friends list’ concept on social media. But over time, I realized that my old-school approach of simply greeting people could open doors, even in the digital space.

I’ve never been drawn to the word influencer—even if social platforms say that’s what happens when you have a lot of followers. I get the intent behind it, but for me, it’s always been about authentic connection. I guess you could say I’m a little old-fashioned when it comes to that. (Ugh—did I really just say old-fashioned?) But honestly, I think there’s something timeless about being present, being kind, and starting with a simple ‘hello.
