Poetry plays a vital role in mental health awareness by providing a creative outlet for individuals to express their emotions and experiences related to mental health. It offers a means of self-expression and catharsis, allowing individuals to process their feelings and promote their overall well-being. Through personal poems, poetry helps break the stigma surrounding mental health, humanizing the experiences and encouraging open conversations. It creates a sense of community, connecting individuals with similar struggles, fostering support and understanding. Poetry also educates and raises awareness about mental health conditions, dispelling misconceptions and promoting empathy. Its emotional resonance fosters empathy and a deeper understanding of mental health complexities. Poetry empowers individuals, inspiring them to find their voice and demonstrate resilience, while showing others that recovery and growth are possible. Poetry contributes to a compassionate and understanding society through its role in mental health awareness. "Paradise Lost" for many brings back memories of reading John Milton's epic poem written in 1667. Milton's poem explores morality, humanity, and man's fall. These same words can also serve as a metaphor for the feelings of guilt, despair, and inner turmoil that can exist when people are faced with mental health issues. As a companion poem to "Paradise Lost," "Paradise Regained" (1671) explores themes of redemption, temptation, and the triumph of good over evil. It is also possible to use the words Paradise Regained metaphorically to describe the sense of fulfillment people experience when they are able to cope with and manage mental health issues through constructive means. Featured Poets: Ahmad Alkhatat, Skaja Evens, Benjamin Cherif-Goldberg, Richard Harries, Jessica Philie Park, Nicholas Michael Ravnikar, Lisa Simmons and David Thurston.

We are thrilled to be speaking to David Thurston on today's episode of Inside Design. David is the CEO and Founder of Pulp Riot, an international professional hair color line that was acquired by L'Oreal in a multi-million dollar deal. We had the privilege of hearing David speak at Cosentino's Global Design Summit and knew we had to bring him onto the show. Tune in to this episode to hear David share his business philosophies and what he has learned about success, stepping outside your comfort zone, and using social media to build an influential brand. IN THIS EPISODE:  [03:00] What comes first: The brand or product  [05:00] The spiral staircase philosophy and David's wishlist for success [09:20] Choosing to be uncomfortable and David's early steps to leave the corporate world and pursue success [18:28] How can creative entrepreneurs use social media and collaborate with your competitors [23:09] The power of design and Pulp Riot's unconventional product packaging [29:40] Travel, David's new book, and thoughts on reaching success at a young age KEY TAKEAWAYS: If you want to become successful you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable is a muscle you exercise by leaving your comfort zone and taking a step towards your goals and dreams. The photos you post on social media are like merchandise you're hanging outside your storefront. It's a way to entice people to engage with your brand. And your follower account is critical. No one wants to “go” into a store that's empty.  Success isn't reaching the top step and suddenly becoming satisfied. The fulfilling part is the climb up the staircase, not reaching the top. There's always another step to take.  RESOURCE LINKS: David Thurston Official Website BIO: David Thurston is a beauty industry entrepreneur, educator, and disrupter.

Back in Episode 126 of our Salon International 2019 Backstage Special, I had the delight to sit down for a short conversation with Alexis and David Thurston, the husband and wife duo and founders of the Pulp Riot hair colour line, Butterfly Loft salon in Los Angeles, and the Butterfly Circus traveling education team. In that episode they briefly touched upon the Pulp Riot tribe and brand. Well today I've invited them their back onto the show as I want to go much deeper into their early beginnings in hair, their relationship, Butterfly Loft Salon, education, and their journey to the success of founding the fastest growing colour line in the history of the beauty industry, Pulp Riot. For the past decade Alexis and David have been industry disruptors and innovators. Changing how professional hair products are created and marketed, how stylists are educated, and how communities of artists are created. They have been at the forefront of the digital revolution in the beauty industry, which has resulted in Pulp Riot becoming the fastest growing colour line in the history of the beauty industry. Whilst fast growing, David says of their journey to Pulp Riot, "It wasn't a straight line of success, it was a spiral staircase up." This is something they will be sharing much more of with us all today. This conversation with Alexis and David is great, packed full of insights into how they've gone about disrupting the beauty industry using yes, their mobile phones and social media. It blew my mind on what they have achieved in such a short space of time whilst maintaining a healthy family home life, too. I hope that listening in to this podcast today it will make you feel that you can achieve any goals you hunger for in the industry, but only if you have those magic ingredients of: desire, passion, drive and talent.
