Jaleh Bisharat is co-founder and CEO of NakedPoppy, a clean beauty tech start-up that curates the very best in clean beauty brands. She previously served as CMO/VP marketing at Amazon, OpenTable, Upwork and Eventbrite. So, she knows the tech world—and she's bringing it to clean beauty with NakedPoppy's patent-pending, online assessment algorithm that identifies perfect-for-you clean makeup picks. Jaleh speaks and writes on topics of concern to purposeful women. Her writing has appeared in a variety of outlets including Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, the Huffington Post, Thrive Global, VentureBeat and Women 2.0. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Business School, she's passionate about wellness, sustainability, and clean living. Jaleh didn't realize that her years working in high-level leadership positions learning about how to motivate her employees and teams would prove to be so effective as an entrepreneur starting NakedPoppy. We talked a lot about habits that help you to manage your most powerful asset, your time and attention, as well as why she felt compelled to start a clean beauty company. You'll learn the disturbing information and statistics about women's beauty products and why your dollar and purchases matter. Things We Learned From This Episode Here are some of the core ideas discussed: Managing your attention is the most important thing you can do to move your life and business forward. Do this by taking time before you unplug each night to go through your calendar and time block chunks of time for being in your flow state, meditating, exercising and scheduling a time for you to be productive. Jaleh's motto of 'Just Start' and 'Don't Get Distracted' are so powerful and simple, as well as her brilliant point that "The way you manage your attention is your competitive advantage." When you're starting any kind of business, you want to first start with the question - what problem are we solving? In NakedPoppy's case, Jaleh wanted to give busy women a clean beauty experience that they deserve and love. Clean beauty is to regular beauty products whats organic food is to processed food. We learned that over 12,500 chemicals are used in standard beauty products in the U.S., 7,500 are allowed in the UK and only 700 are allowed in NakedPoppy. Our current traditional beauty products are actually considered hazardous waste for the environment, which should give a clue how unhealthy they are for your skin and body. NakedPoppy hired a green chemist to review all clean beauty items. NakedPoppy's four pillars are health (being the most important), environment, animal welfare, and worker safety. You can take the assessment on NakedPoppy.com and it will give you a perfect match of products for your skin and preference Jaleh is such an inspiring female entrepreneur out to do incredible work to change the way we view and shop for beauty products. I know that I'm convinced it's time to clean out anything that's not a clean beauty product. Hope you'll join me as well. Enjoying the show?

Jonah Goldman is a social entrepreneur, marketing specialist, and environmental activist with a background in the natural food industry, regenerative agriculture, compostable packaging and fighting food waste. Since age 10, Jonah has been a crusader for conscious consumption and ethical eating. After years of passionate arguing against industrial meat and convincing his family and friends to become vegetarian, Jonah studied political science, food policy and food security at Colorado College, while learning firsthand how to affect systemic change on a local and industrial level. Through working with farmers, policy makers and disruptors in the natural food industry, (like Beyond Meat) he came to the conclusion that in order to save the world and ourselves, we must act rapidly to transform global food systems, reclaim health and food sovereignty in our communities, and embrace regenerative agriculture with integrated technology and ecological methods. Jonah recently returned from Israel to help launch a new mission-driven business, PLNT Burger. PLNT Burger is a fast-casual restaurant concept by celebrity Chef Spike Mendelsohn dedicated to crafting and redefining some of America's favorite foods. Spike Mendelsohn is best known in DC for his restaurants (Good Stuff Eatery and We the Pizza) and his numerous television appearances (Top Chef, Iron Chef America, Beat Bobby Flay). He was also the first chairman of DC's Food Policy Council. With a focus on juicy, indulgent burgers, soft-serve, savory snacks and seasonal salads, PLNT Burger's mission is to give people the ability to 'Eat the Change' with delicious foods they love and crave. PLNT Burger offerings are free of any animal products, without compromising flavor, nutrition or experience. Goldman maintains his rebellious spirit and conviction that each person can be an agent of change whether they know it or not. He is a firm believer in business as a force for good, regenerative agriculture and policies that promote food justice, a true sense of food security, and return economic power to people, not corporations. Despite current events, he remains optimistic about the planet's future. These burgers are outrageously delicious. I was just there on Sunday twice, because they are that good. If you are even in the 100 mile radius vicinity of the DC area, I can't recommend PLNT Burger enough. It's crazy good. Things We Learned From This Episode Get in the habit of questioning your habits and what you eat, do and say. Often times we get stuck in behaviors that don't serve our highest good. There are incredible plant based options now, like Beyond Meat, that are made with incredible ingredients and with out GMO's, soy and other additives. We are all like an oak tree that started as an acorn, every one of us has massive potentiality for greatness and for making an impact. Think about how you really want to nourish the seed that is you. The values of PLNT Burger (which also stands for plant, planet and plentiful) are great tenets to live by: Bring people joy, respect and celebrate all of life, act with intention, connect to the source and create positive change together. You can have your burger and eat your plants too. Enjoying the show?

Things We Learned From This Episode A tip to dig into your own clarity of purpose and interest is to ask yourself, 'What would you do for free all day long?'

Donny Raus, founder of Raus Coffee Company, has been active in the coffee community for 17+ years. Having worked in various capacities, from barista to an educator and roaster, one thing has always rung true, coffee, people, and travel have always been his passions. In college he worked for Starbucks and was one of the first in the company to earn the title "Coffee Master". While there he started the "Free Pour Mailing List", the company's first comprehensive mailing list to include new product highlights, coffee tastings and pairing notes, equipment reviews, and subscriber Q&A. He also traveled the region presenting "Coffee Talk", an educational series on coffee. In 2005 he left Starbucks and corporate, and formed the Connecticut Coffee Society in 2007, educating all who wanted to learn about the magic beverage through cupping. That same year he was elected President of the Northeast Regional Roasters Group, in charge of organizing annual retreats for coffee professionals, where he served a term of 3-years.Deciding there wasn't anything he'd rather do, in October 2007 took a leap of faith and started Raus Coffee Company. Donny currently resides in in Fairfield County, Connecticut, where he roasts and bottles his award winning, Cold Roman espresso. He is also is one of 400 certified espresso sommeliers in the world and one of 6,500 certified international q-graders. You can order Donny's delicious roasted coffee and specialized bottled espresso at RausCoffee.com. Donny shared about how passion and determination fueled his business venture when doubt crept in. He spent three years perfecting his roasting process until it met his standards. I found the following key take-aways from our conversation to be highly inspiring, and hope you do too. Things We Learned From This Episode If you're considering a business venture, first learn by doing in someone else's company or venture. You'll learn real time if you really are passionate enough to consider making it a business. Coffee is about taking a real moment to pause, stop, enjoy and savor. Donny adds an intention to all of his roasted coffee and hopes you can feel and sense this positive intention with every sip. A great idea is to create your own intention before drinking your next cup of joe (or tea). We all get to the same destination, but the difference is the journey we take...follow your passion and live out your vision in your one life. Enjoying the show?

Dr. Richard shares about how his life-threatening car accident in his twenties lead to a total mind shift and change in outlook that transformed his life, and now thousands of other lives. He shifted his career and after two degrees, decided to focus on how to help others live their most powerful life. We discussed the findings of his doctorate on the impact of social media on one's personality (spoiler alert: it's not good) and how he's laser-focused on being a force for change and wellbeing. Dr. Richard then faced another big scare where his wife almost lost their first son. Their son ended up being born with severe torticollis (this is when a baby has their head turned to one side for an extensive period of time) and had major issues moving his neck and a deformed head and face. Thankfully their medical background assisted in getting the therapies and support they needed, and out of this experience, Dr. Richard birthed the "Every Kid Rocks" foundation in which he raises money to give to teachers and schools that identify children who need therapies like OT, PT, and other sessions but can't afford it. In addition to Dr. Richard's podcast, he has just launched an incredible new assessment called the POWERS, which has already gained much traction. The POWERS instrument, which stands for Prediction Of World Class Excellent Rating Skills has been designed for three realms: 1. human performance 2. PTSD and the Veteran community and 3. Addiction and Recovery. All You-est You listeners can get a free 15-page POWERS assessment and guide at seekyourpowers.com Just use the coupon code: YOUESTYOU (all one word). Things We Learned From This Episode We're preconditioned to feel good when doing good for others. Find ways to help others and be of service as often as you can. Try and focus on what's right and honorable about others rather than where they are falling short. The POWERS assessment is strength-based and highlights your top three superpowers. Social media doesn't have to be bad, but just understand that every time someone 'likes' your post, you are getting a hit to your brain that is just as addictive and similar to smoking a cigarette.

Motivated by her own journey through childhood sexual abuse and other childhood traumas, Shari Alyse has spent her life learning how to love herself fully and completely. Shari helps women and men discover their joy by reconnecting them back to themselves through the practice of self-love. Shari is the Best-Selling Author of the book Love Yourself Happy, Motivational Speaker, Self-Love Coach and hosts weekly radio and an online TV show called The J-Spot. She is also the Co-Founder of The Wellness Universe, a community of holistic practitioners, coaches, and thought leaders whose focus is to help create happy, healthy and whole people. The Wellness Universe is the bridge that connects wellness resources to those who are seekers of wellness. Shari lives in Los Angeles with her fiance, John and their cats, Hershey and Piper. You can learn more about Shari at www.ShariAlyse.com and www.TheWellnessUniverse.com Shari shares very bravely and openly about her deep struggles with self-loathing after being sexually abused as a child, and how she has triumphed and rewritten the script to literally love herself happy. We talked about ways to reconnect back to the younger part of you that experienced trauma and how to heal at a deep level. Here are some of the things we discussed: Things We Learned From This Episode Shari found that learning to go within, to get still and to meditate is what really helped her to listen and honor her inner voice. She had always heard it but dismissed it and shoved it down with excess food (I know that drill and guessing some of you do as well). By getting quiet and talking to the little girl within, she started to hear what was really needed; to be loved and appreciated. The most healing aspect that has changed Shari's life is giving herself two big hugs every day, and I mean, big ass wholehearted hugs that you would want from your partner or best friend. She also converses with herself and asks constantly what she needs and then listens. Instead of running from herself and her emotions, Shari now welcomes them all fully and asks how she can support herself more. This act of radical self-love has changed her life, her health and her aim to help others struggling with self-love. You can find Shari's bestselling book, Love Yourself Happy, on amazon.

For more information, find Michael at www.arcintegrated.com Most human beings struggle with change, which is why we dove deep into strategies and ways to manage change (in whatever form it comes) in a healthy, effective and productive way. Here are some tips to apply to help you: Things We Learned From This Episode First off, it's crucial to create a space where you are compassionate and kind to yourself while dealing with a change or tough period. As you look at the situation at hand, be sure to be empathetic to yourself. There are seven aspects of change that will help you deal more successfully with turmoil and changes. Michael uses the acronym CHANGES: Cognition, Heart, Action, Nourishment, Guts, Environment, and Spirit. To change beliefs that are getting in the way of accomplishing what you desire, you'll want to do two things: evaluate your belief and how it's showing up in your life (journal and track it) and find examples of ways to disrupt this belief. By tracking your behavior and disrupting your unwanted beliefs, you'll get a clearer picture of what and how you can change. Incorporate the 4 R's to develop greater self-awareness around stress and how your body reacts. The 4 R's are: reaction or response (notice how your body feels when you are in reaction mode versus responding with choice) and resistance and relaxation (what does your body feel like when you're resisting something or when you're most relaxed). Use your body cues to help you learn what triggers you and how to get out ahead. You can get Michael's book as well as a free workbook to go with it and the audio version at www.thechangesbook.com.
