Jaclyn Johnson is the ultimate multi-hyphenate. By the time she was 28-years-old, she had already sold her first business No Subject, invested in multiple female owned startups, and launched her second multi-million dollar company, Create and Cultivate. What first started as a small conference in Palm Springs for ambitious women has now become one of the most globally recognized, fastest-growing communities for female entrepreneurs and small business owners. Jaclyn and the Create and Cultivate team host hundreds of events each year that dive deep into what it means to be an entrepreneur, with speakers like Issa Rae, Meghan Markle, Kim Kardashian, and Martha Stewart, and a digital platform with a plethora of resources for ambitious business owners. They have over 1 million women in their community, a line at Target, host one of the top business podcasts WorkParty, and so much more.

When Lara Adekoya started baking during lockdown last year, she had no idea she would quickly become the cookie queen of Los Angeles. The 28-year-old baker is the founder of Fleurs et Sel, a baked goods company that releases locally in small batches, and sells out in under five minutes. After being laid off from her job as a top salesperson at Nordstrom, Lara began baking cookies and delivering them to her friends and clients around town. What was initially a fun way to spread love during tough times quickly drew lines of fans to her at-home bakery. The demand for Fleur et Sels has catapulted her to culinary success - she’s hosted pop ups at The Palisades Village and The Grove, which the legendary Mindy Weiss (who happens to be one of her old clients!) helped produce and promote, provides cookies for Netflix sets, was just featured on Good Morning America, and is only just beginning. In this episode, Lara gives us the key takeaways from her entrepreneurial journey, from maintaining relationships to customer service lessons, and how she turned her passion into a thriving business.    With flavors like oatmeal raisin to sea salt chocolate, do yourself a favor and set notifications on for her Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/fleursetsel/   Cookie drops are also available on their website! https://www.fleursetsel.com   Love the show?

If you’ve ever heard of The Pattern, the most common words you’ll hear alongside it are "scarily accurate,” or you’ve seen the video of Channing Tatum freaking out after trying it saying, “Who runs this thing?! How do you know me so well?! Someone please contact me ASAP.” Well the person to reach out to is their founder,  Lisa Donovan. For those of you who are unfamiliar to the app, it’s a social app that creates accurate and detailed insights into your personality, empowering you to better understand yourself and build deeper, more authentic relationships with those around you. Prior to The Pattern, Lisa co-founded and ran the first and most viewed YouTube content company of its time, Maker Studios. She built it over a thrilling five year period which culminated in a successful sale to Disney in 2014.  It was after that that Lisa began the journey of self-discovery, which became the driving force behind The Pattern. In this episode, Lisa tells us all about developing the app, how it goes beyond astrology, and Lisa gives Olivia a personalized reading from the app. We talk about a few personality traits, how to implement these concepts into real life, Saturn returns, and a whole lot more.
