Her journey began in Mexico City where she was born and raised. Lila has always had a vast fascination with the world of color since she was little. As a teen, she had a wide range collection of Care Bears and Lip Smackers. Who would have thought that one day it would translate to Squeeze De Citron®? Following her graduation with a Bachelor of Business in Mexico City, Lila's educational journey took an exciting turn as she pursued further studies at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Lila realized there was a niche in the market for accessories that bring joy and happiness through intense colors, and interesting patterns! Handmade, by Mexican and Guatemalan artisans, much of the Core, the Capsule, and the Lemon Drop Collections are made of 100% recycled plastic. Not only is the company supporting artisan communities, but it is actively supporting the health of our planet too. Squeeze De Citron® bags represent the work of talented Mexican and Guatemalan artisans. It takes full dedication and cultural talent to create these lifestyle bags. Each core bag takes an entire week to create, with an additional 3 days dedicated to creating the handles. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support

The day after Ioanna's wedding last summer, we ambitiously aired an episode of Sip With Me while we were still recovering from the Greek tradition of dancing all night and breaking plates. It was iconic because our guest was an icon, Melissa Andre, Founder of Melissa Andre Design Co. and, according to our episode title from last year, a “Château Innovator”. She's planned events for the most “A” of the “A-List” celebs and has a vision for creation that is unmatched in today's event planning market. Melissa is BACK to get all the tea from Ioanna & Aaron about the wedding, including the good, the bad, and the juicy drama. Plus, Melissa tells us about how wedding & event season 2023 is shaping up when compared to the record smashing, post-pandemic social palooza that was 2022. Literally our social batteries are still fried! And, Melissa gets a brilliant idea for a podcast, which we are manifesting and would love to invest in once we ever make a penny from Sip With Me. We finish with a hilarious update on the Château and Melissa tells us what a pain in the a** renovations can be. We truly love Melissa and her support of our show has meant the world! Give her a follow @melissaandre and visit the link in our Instagram bio to check out her work! Melissa, we'll see you soon for some Pilates reformer and gossip!!

Eric Ressler, the Founder & Creative Director of Cosmic, is an entrepreneur with a creative bent and a proponent of sustainability. In 2012, he founded Cosmic, a pioneering firm in the sustainability sector that works with clients to create powerful branding and marketing strategies that advance sustainability and spark positive change. Prepare to be inspired by Eric's innovative approach to merging creativity and sustainability for a brighter future. Discussion Points: Q1. What sort of myths, bogus strategies, or misconceptions would you like to set the record straight on? 1:35 Q2. What are nuggets for successfully implementing a 4-Day Workweek in an agency? Tips for people who want to get started with it? 7:11 Q3. How do you effectively manage and set expectations for upcoming talent within the agency? 14:06 Q4. What are the tech-stack do you use to manage internal work processes? 18:59 Q5. How do you establish your pricing model with clients? 22:08 Q6. Could you share insights about your agency's niche and how you established it? 27:57 Q7. What are some of the challenges you have faced as an agency? 34:01 Q8. How do you stay on track and ensure you're not missing out on important tasks as agency owners? 40:23 Q9. What excites you about the future? 45:52 Show notes: Creativity is something that you can't brute force. You can grind, hustle, and push hard for a certain amount of time, but you also need time to rest, rejuvenate, and reflect on real life, where you draw inspiration from. 2:49 It's more helpful to come fully prepared, fully rested, and fully creative each day during a four-day workweek, rather than working five, six, or seven days a week and functioning at only 60%, that's not beneficial. 6:16 Deadlines and tight turnarounds are not deal breakers for a four-day week. It's about ensuring each team member shows up at their best every day. 12:31 I don't think a four-day work week necessarily will work for every organization. I think it'll work for 90-plus percent of agencies. 11:15 We work with clients in sprints, breaking down projects into weekly cycles with key deliverables, goals, and success metrics. We present sprint reviews, gather feedback, and work in iterative cycles. 19:24 We'd been an agency for about seven years, and we'd been doing a lot of work with startups, b2b brands, and b2c brands near Silicon Valley in Santa Cruz at the time we were working out of an office. 29:40 We've also just found that the types of clients that come to us need more of a holistic partner, they don't want to hire us just for one thing, and then have to find other agencies to do other parts. 32:30 Building expertise happens through doing enough work for similar clients that you start to see patterns, and you start to understand more about that space than any other agency working in general. 36:57 I go into deep learning mode, devouring books, podcasts, and articles, seeking answers, inspiration, and ideas. 42:19 Change can be scary, but it can also be interesting and lead to more just and equitable ways. 47:09 Myth Busted -  One needs to work long hours and give up their personal life in the agency business.   Links - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosmiceric/ Company website: https://designbycosmic.com/

From a very young age, Bryan has been passionate about chocolate, pastry and food of all types. Bryan attributes his interest in the field of baking and pastry to his grandmother, an outstanding baker. During visits to her farm in upstate New York, Bryan learned how to pick perfectly ripe ingredients and transform them into pies, cakes, jams and jellies. At the age of 16, Bryan began an in depth study through a high school mentor program where he became an apprentice at the renowned Bear Café in Woodstock, New York. Within the first week of working beside Executive Pastry Chef Heather Haviland, Bryan confirmed his love for pastry. After showing commitment to the craft and dedication to the restaurant, Bryan was offered a permanent position as an assistant to the baker and Pastry Chef. At age 18, after graduating high school, he took over that role. Five years later, Bryan decided to continue with a formal education at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He completed his externship at Jacques Torres Chocolates in NYC. However, it wasn't until Bryan made a tiny batch of chocolate from bean to bar with Chef Peter Greweling that an interest in the history and science of chocolate and confectionery was sparked. Since, Bryan has educated himself on the science, technique, and craft of chocolate. In 2013, Bryan was named Top 10 Chocolatiers in North America by Dessert Professional Magazine. He and his team continue to be recognized with a multitude of awards including Good Food Awards, Academy of Chocolate Awards, and International Chocolate Awards. On this episode, Dahlia and Bryan join host Mitchell Davis and discuss Cacao's long journey from bean to bar, the temperamental nature of chocolate, and why every small business should find a bookkeeper they can trust.

This episode takes a detour from the usual SHEROES artist interview to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the O.G. feminist lifestyle and culture publication, BUST Magazine. Founded in 1993 by three women in New York City, BUST started as a ‘zine, made of stapled pages and a passion for their cause: to make feminism cool again. Now a quarterly magazine, BUST has kept going despite financial challenges along the way - and a world which still favors hyper-sexualized images of women on magazine covers and advertisers that sell unattainable standards of youth and beauty. BUST proudly continues to feature news, entertainment, music, lifestyle, and fashion from a feminist perspective, and 30 years on, we need it more than ever. Listen in as SHEROES host Carmel Holt sits down with BUST's co-founder and creative director, Laurie Henzel to talk about BUST through their three decades, and the ever evolving world of feminism.

With today's guests,      Erin, a full-time traveler and copywriter believes powerful copy is the key ingredient to an intentional life and business as it's the cornerstone to connecting, standing out & converting clients so you can live a freedom-based lifestyle. She's currently calling Mexico home for the winter and when she's not working or traveling you'll find her hiking a mountain or inside a yoga studio. Brannan Arnett is a Brand Strategist & Designer based in Asheville, North Carolina, where she lives with her husband, 14 year old pup, G. She is the Founder & Creative Director of Golden Hour Designs, a Brand Consultancy she founded from her kitchen table in the summer of 2019. She helps business owners use strategy and design to communicate their value and convert folks into avid brand fans - fostering long-lasting brand love and loyalty. Her decade spent teaching in an experientially-based classroom taught her the power of building trust with what she calls the 4 C's of branding: Consistency, Clarity, Cohesion & Conciseness. She believes trust is the ultimate currency, and harnessing the simplicity of the 4 C's allows brands to build trust and convert users into customers, for life. She's an enneagram 7, mom-soon-to-be and one-time van-lifer. When she's not working with clients she adores, she's traveling, practicing yoga or hunting down sweet finds at her favorite thrift store.      In this episode, we cover… risk vs reward and how both have played out in their own businesses Erin and Brennan's journey including how they got started, how their business evolved and how they got to where they are today the biggest pivotal moments in their business thus far how they handle taking big risks and assess what to do  what is required to see success from multiple different opinions   Quotes "Your identity is more so what you give yourself it is how you see yourself, And it's also more so who you are. Versus personality is more of how you portray yourself or live out your identities, it's how you behave, not always who you are. So when we label this, one of the easiest ways I've looked at this is identity is who you are, personality is what type of person you are or how you show yourself to the world. This is an important distinction to make because a lot of who we currently think we are, is just learned behavior."   "When we change our identity, it is guaranteed, and it is natural that your behaviors are going to change as well in accordance and in alignment with the identity that you're choosing."   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned: Brannan's Instagram Brannan's Website  Brannan's Freebie   Erin's Instagram Erin's Website Erin's ClickUp Freebie

We define our ourselves by the things we buy, put on our body, drive, what we live in, what we use. And so that emotional relationship that people have with things has always fascinated me.

For over a decade, Jacey Duprie has been a digital entrepreneur at the forefront of the social-influencer phenomenon with the fashion and lifestyle brand Damsel in Dior, where she has garnered the attention of over two million monthly viewers across her social media platforms. Now, she's stepping into the role of creative director for Wyeth, a new fashion brand that will open at Platform in Culver City this fall. On June 7, she is releasing a new book, Liking Myself Back, where she delves into her self-made success as a modern digital entrepreneur and the lessons she's learned along the way.
