We have built one of the largest, and privately owned, online web syndication networks to educate the masses while promoting the trustworthy wellness entrepreneurs and practitioners who help us live smarter, healthier and happier, and those we love as people and pets while we help them grow in business. We introduce trustworthy wellness entrepreneurs and practitioners to wellness minded individuals and professionals seeking trusted knowledge and high quality products and services ### Wellness by Choice Backstory + [Problem] In 2012 Wellness by Choice was launched as a response to requests by individuals harmed by untrustworthy businesses, products, wellness and medical practices. + [Solution] Build an online web syndication network to help teach the masses with the help of trustworthy wellness entrepreneurs and practitioners. **Death of the founder's son...mission expanded January 5th, 2021, I, Angelina, lost my thirty one year old son Chris.** Fall of 2020 Chris experienced pain he didn't understand from kidney stones. A common consequence of eating antacids over a decade (especially in men). He was afraid to go to the ER saying, "Mom, I don't want to go to the ER, catch COVID and die!" Unfortunately, over the counter pain medicine would constipate him causing slow intestinal bleeding. Drinking lots of fluids resulted in a deficiency of vitamins and minerals. Ongoing symptoms led to constipation, anemia, fatigue, dizziness, inability to think clearly, sepsis, and ammonia in the brain. He finally goes to the ER to then be ambulanced to a trauma center. Three weeks later he passed from acute stage 4 end of life liver disease because the hospital system would not help facilitate a live liver donor transplant even though my liver was available to save his life. ### JOIN the mission of Wellness by Choice The sooner we reach, teach and impact people lives on how to live smarter, healthier and happier, the sooner we can change the trajectory of these lives and reduce the wellness ignorance mortality rate. ### Education Based Wellness Marketing + Wellness by Choice News Network + WELLx Events promote its speakers and vendors. ### The Wellness by Choice Team ###### Founder/CEO Angelina Musik-Comp "If I can help you avoid stepping on a mine you are unaware of, equip you to achieve sooner and greater as your genuinely serving others, then the tears, bruises, and scars I've weathered in life and business have been worth it!" ###### Co-founder/CTO Daniel Comp Navy Veteran, and Author of Scotomaville.com: "The Greatest Expedition you will ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding, for the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." ## Founder's Backstory Hi I'm Angelina Musik, founder of Wellness by Choice, and co-founder of Intelligent Netware, an almost 30 year old concierge media, marketing, web tech and AI company awarded twice by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Below is my backstory as a person and entrepreneur which I hope will provide the logical context to why I'm producing Wellness by Choice in the multifaceted manner in which I am, and other projects. Born in Munchen, Germany, to a seventeen-year-old teenager, when I was three, my stepfather from Guam, a U.S. military soldier, married my mother who worked at the German Patent Office. Their blended German and Guamanian cultures shaped my passion for wellness and innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit. At thirteen, I immigrated to the United States, arriving at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. At sixteen, inspired by my stepfather’s knack for finding treasure in trash, I’d launched several micro-enterprises over the years to fund my future forward. After graduating high school in 1983, though I was accepted into Texas A&M’s Veterinary School of Medicine, I pursued education in Business, Broadcast and Media Communications around working in the hospitality industry and going on local modeling, acting and singing auditions. I was fueled by a desire to help others improve their lives and outcomes through entrepreneurship, wellness, fitness and the arts. Math and science are woven into each of these. At twenty-three, I launched *Angelina’s House as a* state-registered home childcare to raise my two children while building financial independence and helping working moms. In 1990, I founded *MOMtrepreneurs* , coaching mothers on how to decide, launch and grow their businesses around raising a family. This included personal aesthetic makeovers. By the early nineties, I had moved to Katy, Texas, and soon after was a praise and worship leader. Launched my Heavenly Help Cleaning & Organizing Business to fund my first Christian Pop Album Give You Rest. My one hit wonder ‘Give You Rest’ is based on Matthew 11:28-30. A tip for aspiring artists: sending albums to overseas radio stations can fast-track airplay and international recognition. In 1996, I built on what I had learned about programming in high school to reverse engineer my music website someone else had built so I could update it. This laid the foundation for my eventual web tech journey of almost thirty years now in 2025. Tearing apart physical objects and then reconstructing them, which my stepdad did often, gave me the confidence to believe most things can be ‘figure-out-able’. In 1999, at thirty-three, I faced a life-altering challenge, fleeing a domestically violent marriage in Texas with my two children to Washington State. While hiding, I merged my business, media, and communications expertise with my newfound programming skills, co-founding *clickLOCAL* , later rebranded as *Intelligent Netware* in the early 2000s. Through Washington’s WorkFirst program, I secured nine months of funding to pursue web technology training, bypassing traditional vocational paths to rebuild my career. My multifaceted background converged in San Antonio, where I launched the *MOMtrepreneurs radio show* on AM 630 KSLR and its *MOMtrepreneurs TV show* on KHCE-TV 23, managed by TBN. As an alternative to traditional business networking events, I decided to produce monthly events to converge business, media, marketing and web technology at venues like the Quarry Golf Course and Plaza Club, semi-annual expos at hotels, and a major small business expo, such as the AT&T Center during a Spurs game, for 17,000 ticketholders. Filming vendors at these events to promote on radio, TV, local magazines like *San Antonio Women Magazine* (later *INSIDE Magazine* ), and custom-built websites amplified their reach, impact, lead generation, and restored their hope in what did work to market their business. This innovative approach earned me two U.S. Small Business Administration awards in 2004 through UTSA’s SBDC and the San Antonio SBA office. Weeks later, an opportunity to appear on *The Apprentice* Season 3 (“Book Smarts vs. Street Smarts”) was cut short when I was hit from behind by a truck suffering a traumatic brain injury five days before filming. This opportunity would be lost as would being one of the judges on Simon Cowell’s American Inventor’s TV Show the following year. *MOMtrepreneurs Magazine* I shut down, and after five episodes *The Angelina Show which aired* on San Antonio’s Channel 2 PAXTV Network. Gratefully, it ended with a 4.1 Nielsen rating. Except for a few appearances, and my short lived *Believe and Achieve Radio Show* , for the next sixteen years I stepped away from the public eye to heal my brain, body, marriage and family. In 2009, a moved to the Pacific Northwest was a welcome as it resembled the nature I had grown up around in Germany. Then in 2011, something peculiar happened. Text messages and emails by Texas patients who had been traumatized by those in the health and wellness spaces reached out to me. I’d design and launch the *Beautiful Intelligence* experiment to study online consumer vulnerabilities across cities like San Antonio, Dallas, Miami, Denver, Los Angeles, and New York. After barely a month of hundreds of websites Daniel and I had built online, new patient requests started coming through on a mass scale where I had to hire a small team to help. After three months, I shut down *Beautiful Intelligence, and the* insights gained from it fueled the creation, mission and launch of *Wellness by Choice* in 2012. The problem: untrust worthy health and wellness practices, practitioners, products and companies were spending more resources on marketing to consumers seeking their help and were harming them, and those who are trustworthy had often been wounded by failed marketing they stopped spending resources on it; therefore, consumers couldn’t find them. *Wellness by Choice* , is a hyperlocal... ### Cleaned and Enriched Content **About Wellness by Choice + Angelina Musik +** **Organic Education Based Wellness Marketing** **Uniqueness in the marketplace?** We have built one of the largest privately owned online web syndication networks to educate the masses while promoting the trustworthy wellness entrepreneurs and practitioners who help us—and those we love as people and pets—live smarter, healthier, and happier while we help them grow in business.
