Today Chelsea and Lindsay talk about salmon sperm and loud budgeting. Lindsay roped Chelsea into auditioning to walk in Denver Fashion Week...and it went well! The lesson here is to trust your friends. As far as issues, none of the grocery stores have plastic bags anymore, there are too many celebrities and no one can possibly know all of these randos, and all these awards shows are fake inclusive to stroke egos (celebs, we know you're better than us, you don't have to prove it). Plus, how well do these besties actually know each other?Connect with So Firedsofiredpod.comIG: @sofiredpodTikTok: @sofiredpodcastChelsea's IG: @chelsea_turanoLindsay's IG: @dr.lindsaylifestyleYouTube: So Fired Podcast

In this episode we talk to CBD entrepreneur Scott McDowell. Scott shares his story in the Cannabis industry with his luxury bath bomb products in this candid interview. BloomMaryJane.com Launches Luxury CBD Skin Care Marketplace!! The Founder of Bloom Mary Jane is Scott McDowell better known as Strategic Scott on social media. He is a Maryland native who relocated to Colorado in 2016 after spending almost a decade in NYC working in the music industry. Upon arrival in Colorado Scott launched Strategic Leverage, LLC a boutique marketing agency. Strategic Leverage has a very niche focus on vendor booth immersive activations, event sponsorships, VIP product placement, and content creation. Scott has worked on projects with the Mile High 420 Festival, Denver Fashion Week, My 420 tours, Bootsy Bellows Aspen (X Games events), and product placement with action sports athletes and VIPs during X Games weekend in Aspen, Colorado. Once Covid happened there were no events to work on so Scott and SL, LLC pivoted and launched BloomMaryJane.com. The concept for Bloom Mary Jane was to promote Global Cannabis News, Product Reviews, and Creative Spotlights focusing on designers, artists, and musicians who use cannabis in their creative process. In late 2020 Scott decided to partner with some white label manufacturing facilities to produce Bloom Mary Jane CBD products. Currently, BloomMaryJane.com is offering 7 styles of 100 MG Full Spectrum CBD bath bombs that include Eucalyptus, Frosted Roses, Frosted Lavender, Fresh Cut Roses, Fresh Cut Lavender, and Oat milk and Honey which are being referred to as "Bloom Bombs". In early 2021 Scott decided to add a second product into the Bloom Mary Jane CBD line up. Flore Cura means "Bloom Care" in Latin and it’s the name of the 10mg CBD Cranberry and Bamboo skincare face mask that BloomMaryJane.com just released. Currently, Scott is working on relaunching Bloom Mary Jane to focus on more of an e-commerce CBD marketplace and less of a content-driven blog. "We plan to add a wide array of products into our marketplace in 2021 from our own brand and even others that fit within our ethos. The focus is on luxury products that align with our self-care and active audience”- @StratgeicScott. https://thomsinger.com/podcast/bloom-mary-jane

Tiaja’s handles: Twitter: Tiaja_Pierre Instagram: Tiajamaisondebeaute Facebook: @thecut.tiajapierre In this episode we debunked the following fitness myths: Carbs are the enemy. Eating 5-6 small meals boosts your metabolism Lifting weights will make women bulky. Only women are obsessed with the scale. Tilapia is the only good source of protein. Cardio is the best way to get in shape. In this episode we also discussed: What a sample eating plan on The Cut Diet would look like for different individuals. The transformations that took place after Morris and Obi reached out to recruit participants to do “The Cut” via Facebook. On a personal note: I literally tuned into Steve Harvey's TV show and my friend Tiaja Piere was on talking with Steve Harvey, celebrity trainer Obi Obadike, and movie star Morris Chestnut. Obi and Morris co-authored the book "The Cut". Basically, Obi thought it would be a great idea to write a book after Morris had gotten into tip top shape in 12 weeks getting ready for the sequel to "The Best Man" his plan. People actually talked about Morris’s physique more than they talked about the movie. Obi and Morris decided to get together and write a book based on the training protocol that Obi used to get Morris into shape. The dynamic duo actually reached out to people on Facebook who would like to be part of the study. Tiaja Piere responded to their Facebook invitation to get in shape with many others, and as they say the rest is history. My friend Tiaja's transformation was astonishing and really peaked my interest, as I have known her for years. I also heard Obi and Morris on"The Model Health Show" with Shawn Stevenson and thought I would love to have them on my podcast. How is that for the power of positive thinking. You have to ask for what you want and then act upon it!
