Sah D’Simone went from being a creative director of a popular fashion magazine to living in ashrams and monasteries around the world and studying with some of the most prolific spiritual masters. To our luck, he didn’t stay in ashrams. Sah came back to New York to help as many people as possible live in alignment and achieve their highest potential. Combining his eye for style, sassiness, spiritual depth and smart business tactics, Sah used social media to establish a powerful brand that impacts people on a global level.

Meditation and Chanel. Ruby Warrington is a pioneer in bringing together these two worlds that have been separate for centuries. “Material Girl, Mystical World”, is her tagline and the name of her first book with Harper Collins. Her online magazine, The Numinous, the now age guide to a high vibe life, bridges the gap between the mystical and the mainstream and really is a reflection of a larger societal awakening. In this episode, we talk about: How Ruby monetizes her online magazine A major lesson she learned from launching products that didn’t sell How to do business “The Numinous” way How being “sober curious” helped her to be more emotionally connected How to overcome anxiety over public speaking How to choose which projects to pursue and put your energy into The importance of bringing together different parts of your business under one umbrella brand What role vulnerability plays in creating a successful brand Is goal setting actually important for success?

Jules Hunt of @omandthecity is a rare gem. Having had to deal with being unhappy in a fashion job and wanting to delete her blog because she felt like she wasn’t making an impact, she’s become an expert on getting “unstuck”.

In this episode, we discuss: THE BUSINESS OF SOCIAL MEDIA What does a wellness blogger actually do How to run a profitable wellness blog in the oversaturated world of Instagram (it’s not too late to enter the game) Getting compensated for your time, energy and art as a blogger Creating sponsored content in a genuine way Using social media to manifest a lifestyle that you want   EXPANSION Getting unstuck and finding your “om”   CONFIDENCE  Not letting opinions stop you   FUN FACT   You’ll never believe what Jules’ first YouTube channel was dedicated to!   STRATEGY The importance of having a plan when you quit something From working in fashion to finding the courage to do what she loves through staying true to herself How to give your community what they want while fulfilling your needs How to set healthy boundaries between growing your personal brand and having personal life Strategy VS intuition   PRODUCTIVITY The power of monotasking   SOCIAL MEDIA  A 4-year relationship that started in 8th grade thanks to AIM messenger The most important lesson social media has taught Jules   SELF-CARE The power of morning and evening routines   QUOTABLES: “Once you find your core and your center by asking yourself the tough questions, the rest unfolds around you.” “More things don’t necessarily make you happier.” “Sometimes you need that kick out the door to keep moving and set on the path that you’re meant to be on.”   *** If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast - it helps other people discover it, get inspired and get in action!
