Michelle Weinstein

Whenever FITzee President Michelle Weinstein gets an idea, she jots it down on a notebook.

She will share goals with her team at the San Diego-based company, which specializes in fresh, ready-to-eat meals, and offers nutrition and fitness workshops to participants. 

Weinstein said employees can even create FITzee dishes, as way of teambuilding. "It's 'we," not 'me,'" she added.

Weinstein said she consults with mentors; "I listen with two ears wide open," she said. "Good feedback and validation from (others) is a motivation."
