Nestled in the picturesque Old Greenwich, CT, she passionately curates all in-house designs, infusing each creation with her unique touch and creative flair. 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

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.

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.

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. And, ultimately, that's why I get paid is that we try to and move above function and purpose, which is very important, and get to that layer of emotional connection and desirability that people have with things.
