Today we are speaking with Giizh Sarah Agaton Howes. Howes is an award-winning Anishinaabe creator, artist and organizer from Fond Du Lac reservation and Muscogree Creek. She's the CEO of Heart Berry, a contemporary Ojibwe Design brand that offers wool blankets, apparel, gifts and accessories rooted in Howes's beadwork and Ojibwe floral designs. Giizh was raised by an artist mother but never thought about herself as one until she realized art wasn't just paintings in a museum but the cultural traditions from her Ojibwe community. She started with beading and moccasin making. That led to her teaching workshops so others could become cultural makers too. She shares the origin story of Heart Berry, which grew out of a desire to see Ojibwe designs translated into contemporary apparel and to take back the wool blanket as a Native craft.  She also talks about a recent mural project on the Cloquet bandshell, finding art that we love and that loves us back, and course correcting after a wrong turn.  Giizh lives in Sawyer with her family. These days, she's experiencing the bittersweet emotions of a parent who has recently seen her first child graduate from high school.

Next, Michael chats with Mark Victor Hansen and Xavier Eikerenkoetter, co-authors of Reverend Ike: An Extraordinary Life of Influence, a compelling biography on the iconic evangelist and New Thought pioneer who rose from abject poverty in the Jim Crow South to live a life of affluence while leading millions of poor Blacks to unprecedented financial success, independence, and joyful living. Reverend Ike comes out in December (you can pre-order your copy now on Amazon).  Mark is best known as the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series and brand, setting world records in book sales, achieving #1 New York Times Bestseller 59 times, with over 500 million books sold, and becoming the Time Magazine Publishing Phenomena of the Decade. Xavier is a musician and spoken word artist who served as a spiritual minister for 40 years and worked alongside his father, Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, better known as Reverend Ike. He's the founder of the United Palace of Cultural Arts in New York and the Rhythm Arts Alliance in Los Angeles. In this incredible episode, Michael, Mark, and Xavier discuss: —Rev. Ike's rebellion against the crushing poverty and religious dictates of the Jim Crow South that told Black people they were here to suffer and would get their joy later in Heaven —His non-conformist, non-traditional teachings that you can experience “Heaven on Earth” now with right-thinking and the right understanding of the Bible, and how to make the journey in consciousness from lack and limitation to an abundance mindset —How Rev. Ike applied spiritual principles and the ancient wisdom he studied with modern knowledge to demonstrate that everyone–regardless of race, status, income, etc.–can be Soulful Revolutionaries who can actualize their full potential  —The pushback and criticisms Rev. Ike received and how he responded to that —His strong belief in giving and his generosity that fueled his charitable work in education —When Mark discovered Rev. Ike after he lost $2 million in one day, and what his teachings did for Mark's life and success that brought him from poverty to prosperity, and from sickness to health  —The powerful spiritual foundation Xavier received growing up as Rev. Ike's son and eventually working alongside him, including some heartwarming and funny stories, and what the book teaches about creating and living your highest and best life – and a whole lot more! And as always, Michael concludes with a brief meditation that encapsulates the energy of their conversation. Learn more about the remarkable life of Rev.
