Becoming A Health And Wellness Pioneer: Lessons From Eloiza Tecson

Eloiza Tecson has accomplished more by age 28 than many will achieve in a lifetime, yet her demeanor portrays none of the pretenses one might expect from such success. She discusses venture capital, multimillion-dollar fundraising, and her meteoric corporate rise with the same easy warmth and authenticity as she might share an anecdote about her day or dog. 

Her ability to make complex concepts approachable and digestible is remarkable. She inspires others to pursue their ambitious dreams with renewed confidence. With a strong sense of self, a purpose and passion, an impressive background, and an attitude toward success most would envy, Eloiza is well-equipped to crush any endeavor she undertakes. 

Woman in Power

Born in the Philippines, Eloiza immigrated to Tennessee with her family in 2000. Despite initially speaking no English, she and her family found their footing in their new home through sports and athletics. This created a pivotal connection between movement and community, setting Eloiza’s path ablaze. Her career trajectory has included impressive work with The PGA Tour and leadership roles at companies like Red Bull, Orange Theory, and Lindora. 

She entered venture capital before the age of 25 with no previous experience and found immense success. In the past four years, she has launched new brands, taken on board roles, revitalized companies, advised many companies, and now leads E20 while pursuing her PhD in Organizational Leadership and Global Economy. 

E20, her current adventure, represents innovation in the fitness industry through electro-muscular stimulation (EMS) training. The company offers a time-efficient solution for busy individuals seeking to maximize their workout effectiveness. With plans to open her first brick-and-mortar location in the works and subsequent franchising opportunities, Eloiza continues demonstrating her exceptional ability to transform vision into reality. 

Escaping the Bias

While many see her glamorous success and Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition, few understand the depth of adversity she has faced due to her age and gender. Rather than letting these challenges defeat her, she has channeled them into academic research on emotional intelligence, applying these insights to her work while championing others starting from a conscious bias within the industry. 

Eloiza is a champion for success, and her passion is evident when she shares her advice for coaches and owners who want to find success in the health and wellness space:

  • Start before you’re ready: You don’t have to wait for it to all be perfect. You never know what happens when you just begin. It’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out; start with what you have, but moving is crucial, and momentum will come.
  • Don’t let fear win: Taking on a new venture is scary, especially for women. Women are more risk-averse than men and are less likely to take a chance on their ideas and themselves. Get ahead of fear and believe in yourself. 
  • Support your coaches: The coaches create the community, which the members live and breathe. Without the coaches, you can’t have a fantastic business. Provide education and advancement opportunities and listen to their feedback.
  • Seize opportunities to grow. The most successful owners started as coaches who were tuned into the needs of their client base. Always think of innovative ways to fill gaps you see in the industry.

Eloiza’s success is awe-inspiring, but I am most impressed by her levelheaded, down-to-earth energy. 

Final Thoughts

At just 28, Eloiza Tecson embodies the rare combination of exceptional achievement and genuine humility. Her journey demonstrates the power of action, emotional intelligence, and unwavering self-determination, from her roots in the Philippines and Tennessee to her current position as a pioneering force in the health and wellness industry. Through E20 and her numerous ventures, she’s transforming the fitness industry and paving the way for future entrepreneurs, particularly women facing similar situations. 

What sets Eloiza apart isn’t just her impressive list of accomplishments; it’s her commitment to lifting others as she rises, her ability to maintain authenticity amid success, and her deep understanding that true leadership extends beyond business metrics to touch lives and build communities. As she continues to expand her influence through E20 and her academic pursuits, Eloiza Tecson proves what a visionary leader’s impact can be when combining ambition and empathy.
