What's not to hate about plastic bags? For Sharon Rowe, 30 years ago, it was simply the fact that they were flying around her Washington Heights, NY neighborhood and parks. It was then that she decided to do something about it by creating an alternative. The reusable shopping bag was born...well, imported from Europe. From the beginning, Sharon wanted to make a difference and earn a living, but she didn't want to do it on the backs of others so Ecobags have always been sustainably sourced in every way.

This week, meet Sharon Rowe. Sharon is the Founder & CEO of Eco-Bags Products, which she started back in 1989. She’s also an award winning pioneer of the reusable bag movement and has been featured in media outlets like Time Magazine, Glamour, and the Oprah Show.  I first met Sharon when she gave a talk at Woodstock BYOB. That’s when I learned about her passion for the zero/less waste movements. Of course, you know me that merely whetted my curiosity. There was so much more I wanted to ask this thought-provoking, social entrepreneur. Not only is Sharon passionate about reducing waste, she is also passionate about entrepreneurship. She recently condensed all of her business knowledge into a book called The Magic of Tiny Business. I ripped through the book in one afternoon and loved it. I'm not the only person who loved the book. Seth Godin had some awesome things to say about it, too. (Yes, that Seth Godin.) When Sharon's not running her company, she is speaking to rid the world of single use plastic bags and promote sustainable, tiny business. She’s also active in The Social Venture Network, BCorporation, The Women's Presidents Organization, and the Governing Board of Westchester Collaborative Theater. Whew. She is one busy lady who holds it all together with poise and grace. In this episode, Sharon talks about the power of making simple a switch over time, the death of single use plastic bags (YESSS!), and getting comfortable with discomfort. We also talk about turning tiny ideas into tiny businesses, how regrouping can help you move forward, and the importance of being intentional and incremental in life and in business. One more thing: Before you dive into the interview, I want to remind you to subscribe to Le vital corps Salon wherever you listen to podcasts. Please, please, please (yes, that’s a triple please), share this podcast with at least one human who you think might dig this episode.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community.

In The Magic of Tiny Business, written by Eco Bags Products, Inc. founder Sharon Rowe, we learn "You don't have to go big to make a great living." Speaking from her own experience, Rowe tells would-be entrepreneurs how to build a profitable business without compromising personal values. Women especially like her advice: rather than fantasizing about going into business while fretting about going into debt, start by going tiny. As a young mother with a newborn child, Rowe was most concerned about putting family first. She wanted a flexible schedule, ample family time, work-free vacations, and financial security. This "less is more" approach also meant she wanted to give back to her community, to the planet. So, despite limited capital and business experience, even in the pre-Internet days before going green was cool, Rowe pioneered the reusable bag movement. In the end, she built a $2.2 million-dollar business of impact from scratch. The Magic of Tiny Business walks readers step by step through the process. Starting tiny, preparing for upturns and downturns, managing money, and being laser-focused on the essentials are some of the keys to Rowe's success. Listen to the podcast to learn more.

The Magic of Tiny Business is now available for preorder. Sharon Rowe is a pioneer in social entrepreneurship. She launched her company, Eco-Bags Products, almost thirty years ago. Her company produces ECOBAGS, the original reusable bag. When the daughter of a friend approached Sharon looking for a book on how to launch a business, Sharon looked around and didn’t see what she wanted in the marketplace. Like any good entrepreneur, Sharon decided to fill that gap. The solution is her new book, The Magic of Tiny Business: You Don’t Have to Go Big to Make a Great Living. Sharon first told me about her book exactly one year ago when she first appeared on Social Entrepreneur. You can hear her interview here: https://tonyloyd.com/162 When I asked Sharon who she had in mind when she wrote the book, she quickly responded “Me. Thirty years ago.” She wrote the book that she wishes would have been on the market when she began. Sharon takes on the myths that keep aspiring entrepreneurs from starting. “There are too many cultural myths out there that say; you can’t get started unless you have…this,” she explains. “I wanted to take the cover off the mystery called business.” The book provides practical advice on how to start without becoming overwhelmed. “I wove into this book a lot of takeaways that you can easily and readily apply,” Sharon says. “I wrote it to be accessible, applicable, and fun.” The Magic of Tiny Business is available for preorder today.
