Design is so much more than aesthetics; it's a tool for business. Today's guest, Fred Hart, is a Partner and the Creative Director at Interact, a branding and design agency similar in many ways to our own. Fred's passion for design began with sneakers and has since transitioned to food. Interact's approach is underpinned by the principles of “simplify to amplify” and “brave design” and, during this conversation, we discuss the work they do with small, niche brands, as well as larger, more mainstream ones (Fred might even change your perspective on “big food!”) We also zoom out and talk about trends in the CPG market right now and Fred's thoughts on the future of the space. As Fred says, the opposite of bravery is conformity. If you want to know how to stand out, this episode is a good place to start! Key Points From This Episode:Exploring Interact's ‘simplify to amplify' strategic principle. The power of design as a business tool.Why Interact isn't interested in design awards. What brave design is (and an example of what it looks like). A warning against putting every possible claim on your packaging. Working with small, niche brands versus bigger, more mainstream ones (and why “Big Food” doesn't wholly deserve its negative reputation).Work Interact has done with niche brands that Fred is most proud of.  Noteworthy design trends in the CPG market right now. Fred's thoughts on personalization as the future of CPG. Interact's approach to enhancing the sustainability of their company.Two brands Fred and his team at Interact began building when the pandemic hit.What Fred gained from the altMBA and AIGA Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders programs.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:InteractFred Hart on LinkedInCleanli on InstagramaltMBAAIGA Business Perspectives for Creative LeadersLift Economy: The Next Economy MBAThe Green Marketing AcademyModern Species Gage Mitchell on LinkedInEvolve CPGEvolve CPG CommunityEvolve CPG on YouTubeEvolve CPG Email

I brought Pamela Barba (soulful brand and biz strategist/Human Design consultant) on the podcast for a critical conversation about how trauma shows up in your "showing up," with a specific focus on:

Bodywork and mindset are often spoken of separately, which perpetuates dualism, or the artificial mind-body separation promoted by that little bitch Descartes ("I think, therefore, I am"). I was guilty of this too: there was a time when I thought all beliefs existed in the body and that if I did enough somatic work, I would be free of some of the basic harmful thought patterns that had been with me for most of my life. Beliefs are neither a top down or bottom up thing. They are bidirectional and relational! And what I eventually uncovered was that when brain and body come into alignment, you are in your true power. In this episode I clear up some misconceptions about mindset and the harmful, gaslighty ways it's sometimes used in the coaching industry. I also want to offer you some body-aligned mindset shifts that allow your body to be the healing machine it's designed to be! For example: Using your mind to track what's happening in your nervous system Attuning to and trusting your emotional experiences Welcoming sensation (changing the narrative and habit of numbing) Permission to move your body in ways that are considered irregular or "strange" Register for Back Yourself: Showing Up for Your Juicy Offer with Mind, Body + Soul https://www.eventbrite.com/e/377933708897 Learn more about HARMONIZE: Mind-Body-Soul Biz Incubator http://harmonizeyourbiz.com Access DEVOTION: Somatic intimacy alchemy for individuals and couples desiring revolutionary intimacy.  https://ishavela.com/devotion/   Access LEGACY: Somatic Biz Mentoring for Healers, Mystics + Creative Leaders https://revolutionaryrompereglas.com/legacy/   Book a free, 30-minute curiosity call with me: https://revolutionaryrompereglas.as.me/curiosity   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isha_vela   Podcast edited and produced by ALMND. 

There's a feeling that you don't want to feel and that you go to great lengths to avoid.   Getting close to it can cause anxiety and even panic attacks.    We learn it in our homes through the norms passed down through our ancestry.    We learn it in our communities and through the collective consciousness of how to be and how not to be.    It shows up in how we relate to aspects of ourselves, how we treat our partners, how we parent, how we share our gifts, and even how we engage in political discourse.   It's shame.   Though not inherently harmful, shame is most often used as a means to control expression and specific behaviors.   It can keep us silent about things that matter, squandering our delicious gifts instead of sharing them with the world. In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Lee Cordell, a pleasure-focused, trauma-informed coach and mentor for those looking to take back command over their brain, bodies, and bank accounts. She is the founder of the Institute of Trauma and Psychological Safety and uses her 13 years of clinical experience to help entrepreneurs develop shame-free inner spaces so that they can create healthier personal and professional relationships. She goes into personal details about how shame shows up in  Business Sexuality Parenting Race/ethnicity Politics and describes her process for creating embodied safety and trust.

Do you prioritize thoughts and ideas over sensing and feeling?  Do you delay putting yourself or your creative work out there because you're obsessing over the details? Do you engage in sex without love? Much of what you experience as personal can actually be traced back to the collective trauma of whyte supremacy. Riffing off of Jones and Okun's (2001) article on white supremacy culture and adding to it my own anecdotal experiences as a mixed race, trauma-informed somatic practitioner and psychologist who grew up within a colonial context, I offer my insights on the embodiment of whyte culture and antidotes to releasing your attachment to it. In this episode, I tackle how urgency, relationship with discomfort, perfectionism, function over feeling, all or nothing thinking, and fear of conflict show up in your everyday life. Perhaps most importantly, though, I address the separation of head and body (Descartes' mind-body dualism) as well as the heart-pelvic split (collective religious trauma) that can be healed by walking the path of the sacred whore.

Community Colleges saw steep declines in enrollment during the pandemic. But creative leaders like President Bill Pink of Grand Rapids Community College are trying to reverse the trend. As he prepares to take on a new role as president at Ferris State University, he talks about how he used millions in federal and state dollars and other initiatives to invest in helping students continue their postsecondary journey and encourage access to college. Jon, Sarah, and Mushtaq also discuss the buzz around the White House's plans for student loan forgiveness, the leaked Supreme Court opinion that could overturn abortion rights, and the status of U.S. research competitiveness legislation. **Tweet suggestions, links, and questions to @ACEducation or podcast@acenet.edu.

Creative Leadership. I define it as bold breakthrough execution that sheds outdated systems, processes, and values to create original and, at times, radical solutions. Creative Leaders embrace the cycle of change and celebrate failure. What others would see as hardship, they see as an opportunity for improvement. Listen to this week's episode to see how you can implement creative leadership in your day-to-day life no matter what position you hold.
