Today we had the honor of hosting Pablo Vegas, President and CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Pablo was appointed as CEO by Governor Abbott in October 2022, after previously serving as Executive Vice President of NiSource and Group President of NiSource Utilities. His previous management roles included senior positions with both American Electric Power and IBM. Pablo also serves on the Global Advisory Board for the Harvard Business School and is a member of the Texas Advanced Nuclear Working Group. ERCOT manages the flow of electricity to over 27 million Texas customers and oversees one of the most unique power grids in the US. We were thrilled to hear Pablo's unique insights on the latest power developments in Texas and across the US. In our conversation, we explore ERCOT's collaboration with international and domestic grid operators to share best practices for managing intermittent resources and ensuring resource adequacy, ERCOT's unique operational advantages, and Texas's projected electricity demand growth by 2030, which equates to adding Germany's current electricity demand. We discuss the reliability risks associated with renewable energy integration, insights into the current state of battery storage capacity, and the need for Texas market design changes to better incentivize the building of more dispatchable power plants. Pablo shares details about the Texas Energy Fund's $5 billion allocation aimed at incentivizing up to 10 gigawatts of dispatchable power, economic hurdles for coal plants as well as combined-cycle gas plants under EPA regulations requiring carbon capture by the end of 2031, opportunities for nuclear energy development, and the lack of clear market pricing signals in ERCOT compared to capacity market spikes in PJM and MISO. We touch on how the new administration might approach power policy, how current federal regulations hinder power sector growth despite incentives for broader economic expansion, and more. We ended by asking Pablo for his predictions for what Texas's generation mix might look like in five years and for the future of ERCOT's connectivity with other grids. We covered a great deal of territory and can't thank Pablo enough for his insights into all these critical topics. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by highlighting that markets remain in “digestion” mode as they continue to react to Trump's Cabinet picks. Over the weekend, Trump nominated Scott Bessent for Secretary of Treasury and markets responded favorably (bond yields dropped) on Monday as many investors believe he'll be more balanced on the tariff front. However, Trump surprised markets a day later by vowing that he'll levy additional tariffs on China (10%) and new import tariffs (25%) on all Canadian & Mexican goods. On the crude oil market front, WTI traded sideways/slightly down over the past week (~$69/bbl) due to a potential ceasefire deal in the Middle East. He noted that the December 1st OPEC meeting will now be virtual. OPEC's leadership will likely look to extend current production curtailments for another three months to get them through the seasonally weak Q1 period. On the natural gas front, U.S. natural gas price in recent weeks has spiked from ~$3.00/MMBtu to ~$3.40/MMBtu due to a colder 6-10-day weather outlook. The real gas story is in Europe where natural gas price in recent weeks has spiked to ~$15/MMBtu due to an early spell of cold weather, lower LNG shipments and extremely low wind generation. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were up just over 1.5% over the last week as they continue to digest Trump Cabinet picks and what policy priorities might be enacted on early in his Presidency. On the energy equity front, the Energy sector was one of the few S&P sectors down last week (~1.5%). He also noted a handful of Energy & Materials sector deals this past week and ended by discussing that the COP29 Conference in Baku c

If you're looking for treatment for crooked teeth or a misaligned bite then orthodontic specialists may help. For children, orthodontists can help align teeth during developmental periods. For adults orthodontics may be implemented with techniques like Invisalign or lingual braces.  Orthodontic specialists can use a variety of techniques and philosophies that apply to treatment they recommend. Recently, advances in technology and understanding of how the developing jaw influences teeth has enabled a number of new styles of orthodontic specialists. One example of shifting practices in orthodontics is the application of early intervention orthodontics. Certain practitioners will now look at the symptoms associated with the development of crooked teeth and aim to address them early to allow better orthodontic growth in a child. Early symptoms of in children may relate to mouth breathing, teeth grinding, and snoring. These habits may increase the risk of crooked teeth, and can be addressed in orthodontic treatment. In adults, certain symptoms like headaches, migraines, TMJ pain, or neck pain may be associated with a crooked bite.  Correcting the underlying jaw growth issues or relationships may help these symptoms alongside straightening teeth. In this episode we are going to explore the expansion in the field with orthodontic specialist Steffen Decker. Dr. Decker is one of the world's leading Invisalign and lingual orthodontists having treated over 1300 lingual orthodontic patients and has served as a member of the Global Advisory Board for 3M and is the clinical advisor for Weston Europe. He is the director of two MSc programs at the City of London Dental School and Bolton University. Dr Decker als lectures worldwide on Invisalign as a clinical speaker. In his practice he now focusses on pediatric orthodontics that look at the underlying causes of crooked teeth, Dr. Decker has created unique model in his London orthodontic practice.If you're looking for an orthodontist in London, Dr. Steffen Decker is providing the unique service to children to address the causes of crooked teeth.In this interview we will outline the shifting field of specialist orthodontics from the unique perspective of a leader in his field. If you are looking for an orthodontist it's important to understand where their techniques and training stand in terms of your goals and orthodontic presentation. It may include the correction of habits like mouth breathing and teeth grinding to allow the correct development of the jaw. You can visit Dr. Steffen Decker at his London Orthodontic Clinic Here: https://theorthodonticspecialist.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/theorthodonticspecialist/You can find his professional training courses here: https://www.instagram.com/orthodonticspecialistacademy/Acoustic cover at the end of the episode:'If You Could Only See' - Tonic

In situations of armed conflict, access to digital technology can save lives. But the use of cyber, information, and other digital operations by belligerents during armed conflict also brings new threats and risks for civilians. Think about cyber operations disrupting civilian infrastructure and services, information operations inciting violence against civilian populations, and digital operations undermining humanitarian relief efforts. In ever-more interdependent digital and physical environments, civilians and civilian infrastructure are increasingly drawn upon to support military operations and, as a result, face real risks of being targeted. As digital technologies permeate our lives and societies, cyber and information operations are no longer abstract or “only online”. They can, directly or indirectly, have serious online and ‘offline' consequences and harm people. Between 2021 and 2023, the International Committee of the Red Cross' (ICRC) President convened a Global Advisory Board of high-level experts from the legal, military, policy, technological, and security fields to advise the organization on digital threats and to develop concrete recommendations to protect civilians against such threats. Today, this Board released its report entitled ‘Protecting Civilians against Digital Threats During Armed Conflict'. In this post, Cordula Droege (chief legal officer and head of the legal division of the ICRC), Laurent Gisel (Head of the Arms and Conduct of Hostilities Unit of the ICRC), Tilman Rodenhäuser (Legal Adviser at the ICRC) and Joelle Rizk (Digital Risks Adviser at the ICRC) present four worrying trends the Board identified, and examples of the Board's recommendations to address one of them, namely the growing civilian involvement in digital military operations.

Libby Cantrill is a managing director in PIMCO's portfolio management group. In her role, she analyzes policy and political risk for the firm's Investment Committee and leads U.S. policymaker engagement and policy strategy for the firm. She also works closely with PIMCO's Global Advisory Board, led by former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2007, she served as a legislative aide in the House of Representatives and also worked in the investment banking division at Morgan Stanley.  Our conversation starts with her early interests in policy and politics, and how the seeds were sown as early as in grade school in Colorado. We trace this interest through her time as a legislative aide in Washington DC, and ask what she learned from her time on “the Hill” about conflict and compromise in politics. We move then to her switch into finance and her current role at PIMCO, in which she wears two hats essentially. One is as a political strategist providing political intelligence to the investment team, investment committee and clients, while the other is leading in policymaker engagement. We speak about polarization in politics and what remains at the center, and discuss this at multiple levels, ending in the area of ESG and sustainability investing and how politics is intersecting with this aspect of investing. We then discuss her role with the Global Pimco Advisory Board and I ask what it is like to work with the venerable Ben Bernanke. To find out what this is like and to hear more from Libby about her reflections on the diversity and development of the industry, tune in.  Series 3 of the 2023 Fiftyfaces Podcast is supported by Eagle Point Credit Management.

Jo Chidley is one of those forces of nature, unconstrained by the way things are usually done.  As the co-founders of Beauty Kitchen, she and her partner refused venture capital, keeping their business free to become a B-Corp and to put people and planet ahead of profit.  She's dedicated to producing the best outcome for the people who work for her as well as for the people who buy her products.  And in the process of finding the best ways forward, she came across the horror of single use packaging and the devastation it's causing both in terms of the extraction and the post-use pollution.  So Jo founded 'Re' to find ways to bring 'reuse' back into the 'reduce, reuse, recycle' triad. Now, she's invited to Davos to speak about the way this could transform the vast global packaging industry. So in this week's podcast, we talked about why this is essential to transforming our world, and how it could work.  Jo has ideas that seem (and are) innovative now, but ten years from now, will be the way things are done. With enthusiasm, integrity and a great deal of humour, she offers solutions to the meta-crisis that rely on each one of us changing behaviour - and she's devoting her life to making it possible - indeed inevitable - that we do.

Jo went on to found Re, a company devoted to reducing the mountains of waste from our global $1tr annual single use packaging industry.  As one of the pioneers of sustainable beauty, Jo and her company have accelerated the transition to Reuse through sustainable innovation by implementing Cradle to Cradle design into Beauty Kitchen's circular approach. Jo's been instrumental in developing the world's first closed-loop solution for beauty packaging and powered the service behind the ground-breaking Re programme which is resuable packaging for personal care brands & retailers.

The world might be moving towards Robots, AI, Cryptocurrency, Metaverse and what not. But at the end of the day, we are all human- flesh, blood and a plethora of emotions in a complicated universe of communication where the mask of technology isn't sustainable. What is that one superpower that helps protect everyone's heart? It's empathy. To respect your own shoes, and sometimes stepping into that of others' to understand their situation, and accordingly move forward. If there is someone who has really been at the core of understanding empathy & kindness; and lead with it- we know it's none other than Nikhil Taneja. Presently the co-founder & CEO of Yuvaa- a socially conscious youth media, data insights, and community engagement organization that aims to empower young Indians. Before this, he has had his fair share of hits and misses at MTV & YRF where he produced online content like the film 'Sunsilk Real FM' & the mini-series 'Man's World' and 'Ladies Room'. He is also on the Global Advisory Board, Goalkeepers at the Gates Foundation. AND he is one of the beloved professors at Jai Hind college. Having had the best (and worst) of both the pre and post internet worlds, we discuss how 'content is power and privilege" and what a delicate balance it is between staying authentic and non-vulnerable. Nikhil tells us about his adulthood journey, lessons learnt on the way, his honest attempt at bringing about positive change in the society via Yuvaa. And the highlight of the episode is where Nikhil talks to us about toxic masculinity, how "patriarchy benefits men but oppresses everyone", and how can men be more kind to the world and themselves.

 A "food desert" is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food, and the designation considers both the type and quality of food available, as well as the accessibility of the food through the size and proximity of the food stores. In 2010, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that 23.5 million people in the U.S. lived in food deserts, meaning that they live more than one mile from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles from a supermarket in rural areas. Food deserts tend to be inhabited by lower-income residents with reduced mobility, making them a less attractive market for large supermarket chains and available foods are often of the highly processed type, high in sugars and fats, which are known contributors to the proliferation of obesity and other chronic diseases. It's estimated that the contribution of food deserts to healthcare costs in the U.S. is over $70 billion annually. Top Box Foods is a non-profit, community-based, social business, with an innovative model of getting healthy and affordable grocery boxes to food-insecure neighborhoods, creating year round access to fresh fruits, vegetables, and proteins, in communities in Chicago, and Lake County, IL, as well as in New Orleans, LA.

Are you living your core personal values? If you look carefully at how you're spending your time, how aligned is it with your core values? It's a great time to step back, take stock, and make some changes that can make a big difference in the year(s) ahead. Our guest Harry Kraemer, author of Your 168: Finding Purpose and Satisfaction in a Values-Based Life, highlights how self-reflection can help create greater alignment and flexibility. A Values Based Life Our conversation covers a lot of ground: Why 168 is his favorite number. After the books he's written on leadership, what inspired him to write Your 168. What a life based on values looks like versus one that’s less so. Why self-reflection is so important – and how it's part of his day. How planning and spontaneity can co-exist. What the transition was like for him when he retired  – and what led him to teach in the MBA program at Kellogg. What a friend and colleague learned from a wake-up call. The role habits play in a values-based life. Why genuine humility and making a difference are key parts of a values-based life. His involvement in the One Acre Fund. The best way to start if you want to make the most of your 168 starting in 2021. __________________________ Bio Harry M.

My guest on today's show is a man I met in India and immediately became intrigued with when he sat down to dinner with me and a friend, and began to delve into unlocking flow states in athletes through breath work. It turns out he had over two decades of experience in coaching professional athletes towards not only cultivating a winning mindset, but also customizing their training loads to their biomechanics and physiology, then optimizing body, mind, relationship and personal environment to skyrocket the careers of the Indian professional teams and athletes he was working with. His name is , and he describes his new book  as an "out-of-the-box approach" to performance enhancement. It is one part memoir and one part guide to self-discovery - an intimate account of the lessons Shayamal learned while growing up during South Africa's apartheid era, from living the life of a monk and traveling the globe with professional athletes. Using his knowledge and experience from the worlds of science, spirituality, and psychology, in this book, he takes you through this introspective and self-healing journey. From understanding the importance of self-love to decoding the science of healthy relationships; from learning to be emotionally present in every conversation to engineering your environment for success,  helps you take a deeper look at your life. Offering a scientific analysis of the human psyche and packed with useful questionnaires, his book is your guide to self-transformation and personal mastery. Shayamal is a South African born Sports Scientist, Psychologist and High Performance Coach. He hold two masters degrees in Clinical and Organizational Psychology. He grew up in apartheid South Africa, where his dream of wanting to play sports for the country faced an insurmountable opponent in institutionalized segregation. Not quite ready to quit sport, he studied Sports & Exercise Science. After returning from the Cricket World Cup in 2003 (Technical Analyst of Indian Cricket Team), he realized that irrespective of one’s academic qualifications and experience, racism was going to be a barrier to growth for people of color. To escape the pain of discrimination, he lived a monastic life for just under four years at the Hare Krsna Temple in South Africa. During that time, he discovered the close parallels between modern psychology and ancient vedic philosophy. Shayamal has since studied the various spiritual philosophies and worked to bridge the gap between spirituality and psychology in an attempt to guide his clients - the worlds best athletes and CEOs. Shayamal is a 4x TEDx speaker, a recipient of the INK Fellowship, the Australia India Youth Fellowship, Men’s Health Trainer of the Year, and Wellness Guru of the Year 2019. He serves on the Global Advisory Board of Herbalife Nutrition, Adidas Running and the UK Risk Management Forum. He has authored four book on Sports Science and Motivation and lectured at academic institutes globally for more than a decade. As a motivational speaker, Shayamal has delivered more than 350 keynotes addresses. Shayamal has served as a consultant to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa , Kenyan Athletics Team, Indian Olympic Association, United Nations Youth Forums, and on the peer review board of numerous academic scientific journals.  He has been a High Performance Coach or Sports Scientist to the South Africa High Performance and Women’s Cricket Team, 2003 Indian World Cup Cricket Team, South Africa Davis Cup Team, Indian Davis Cup Team, Kings XI Punjab (IPL), Bengaluru FC (3 x Winners of Premier League in India), Jaipur Pink Panthers (Inaugural Kabaddi Champions), St Lucia Stars (Carribean Premier League). He has been the Sports Scientist with the Indian Contingent at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, London 2012 Olympics, Delhi Commonwealth Games, and 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. He has worked on the ATP Tennis Tour for six years with individuals like Mahesh Bhupathi (12 x Grand Slam Champion), Sania Mirza (6 x GS), Max Mirnyi (10 x GS), Gael Monfils, Marin Cilic (US Open Winner), and more. In 2012, he founded the HEAL Institute - Mumbai’s first Sports Science and Rehab practice. He exited the business in 2018 after it was acquired by Centrum Capital. He is currently the founder of QSV Inspiration Media - a digital content start up, seed funded by AR Rahman, Shekar Kapur and Samir Bangara. Shayamal has been featured as an expert on four National Geographic Documentaries, and has had his own shows on Star Sports and ESPN. During our podcast, we explore many concepts in the book and beyond, including: -Shayamal's journey to being a high-performance coach...09:55 Grew up during apartheid era of South Africa Wanted to play cricket at the national level, but was unable to due to his race and public policy Cricket Union paid for scholarship in sports science Went from a cricket player to a member of the medical staff for the national team Being a person of authority on the team forced Shayamal to "fast-track" his learning and growth In 2003 was hired as a technical analyst for the Indian national cricket team (analyzing biomechanics of team and opposition players) -How Shayamal analyzed biomechanics of athletes to strengthen his team, and exploit weaknesses of the opposition...14:22 High-speed digital cameras and patches to analyze movement Looking for changes in technique, managing chronic injury such as stress fractures This technology has changed professional sports, both competition and training -A victim of blatant racism, Shayamal reorganizes his life's priorities...18:20 Was short-listed for a position on the South African national team, only to realize it was to fulfill a minority quota Bitter with life, Shayamal moved into a Hare Krishna temple where he stayed for 3.5 years Suffered lack of sleep due to the temple's 3 am wakeup, forcing him to adjust his sleep schedule "Discipline is sticking with something long enough to break you before it makes you" -How systemic failure in the Indian athletic scene led to Shayamal's first entrepreneurial endeavor...22:43 Received an invite to work with the Indian national tennis team in preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing Discovered indifference toward athletics Almost no resources were invested into the athletes' training, medical knowledge, etc. Poor decisions regarding logistics, coaching, etc. Shayamal views this as a more subtle, albeit real form of discrimination Founded the Heal Institute in 2012 from the University of Cape Town by Tim Noakes Central Governor Theory: the brain tells the body to slow down Need to understand the power of the mind to understand peak athletic performance Lessons learned as a monk in the temple (meditation, visualization, etc.) became useful Heal Institute opened 10 centers around India; Shayamal left in 2018 Why Shayamal hesitates to call himself a "biohacker"...28:35 The word "hack" has somewhat dubious origins Not trying to "hack" anything; trying to understand the best way to work with the body Respect the body, rather than "hack" the body "Hack" is thought of as a shortcut Understanding the Five Elements to keep the body in balance Water: "Eat" your water through water-rich foods by Dr. Dana Cohen Air: Stimulating parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems Space (fasting): is the primary form of detoxification and cleansing One of the only principles that are uniform in every religion and faith across the world If sick, food takes energy that could be used to heal the disease Hippocrates used fasting as a form of therapy Fire: Every life form on earth needs the sun to grow Draw energy from the sun via sun gazing early in the morning, or at sunset Sun-ripened foods absorb energy Cooking the food in earthen pots Earth: Eating plant based foods Understand what you're taking in, and how it affects the acid-base balance Understand the impact of sound on sleep Each room has an ambient sound (35-45 db) If sound is consistent, the brain will eventually block it out White noise machine in the room, slightly louder than the ambient noise in the room To understand the impact of a supplement on the body, take one at a time; check PH of urine 7-8 hours after -How to analyze and then optimize your personal environment... Two environments: External: Everything you see, taste, touch, hear Internal: your mind by Sri Swami Satchidananda 5 states of mind: First two are a direct result of one's environment (external and internal) Third, aware of environment, but awareness he can transcend it if he chooses to do so (cannot sustain for long times) Fourth Fifth, so enlightened they change the environment around them Novak Djokovic on beating Federer at Wimbledon: "There was a moment in the game...where if I had any chance of winning, I had to remove myself from that environment." Standardizing conditions while athletes are traveling Pluto Pillow Game Ready machine Norma Tec boots App that analyzes movement while athletes are performing Standardizing air quality is difficult Use a single floor for the team Stay away from exits or elevators Take away as many excuses from the athletes as possible -Testing blood and internal biomarkers...58:45 Lactic acid testing once per month Anaerobic threshold (Dr. Peter Attia) Quantify the physiological ceiling Psychology kicks in once the physiological ceiling has been hit -Optimizing circadian rhythmicity and beating jet lag while traveling...1:02:25 Lumos Tech sleeping mask Compression socks and other garments Fast while on the plane Liquid ketone esters Ketone Aid HVMN -The importance of relationships when optimizing the environment of a high performer...1:05:22 Relationship between athlete and coach makes all the difference The better an athlete is, the harder it is to push him out of his comfort zone Help them understand who they are, then what it takes to get the most out of them Coach's job is to keep them pushing when the brain tells the body to slow down The environment inside a locker room is everything for a team's performance Two mental states in which an athlete works: Confidence bordering on arrogance and humility The coach is crucial to finding the proper balance -What new technologies and practices Shayamal is excited about right now...1:11:36 Next 1-2 decades will see massive shifts in human physiology not seen before Understanding human physiology in a non-invasive way Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer (tells muscle fiber types) Taking testing from the lab to the field Challenge whether the difference between 4th place and gold medal is purely psychological, or if there are physical elements to consider Sweat analyses Personalized nutrition, supplementation, understanding of the body Dermatoglyphics test -And much more!

Imagined as a cross boundary multi disciplinary initiative it acted as a hub for shared learning and knowledge exchange. How we imagine such developments philosophically, intellectually, ethically as well as practically has, always, intrigued him. We talk about: American literature and politics, Manctopia/Mancmageddon and East Manchester regeneration under New Labour Obama, Trump and Hillary and Bill Cultural shifts (Clinton nearly lost the democratic nomination because of an affair - Trump builds an election campaign on the back of them) American Presidents and the Rapture... Personal Experience, Data or Science - what do we follow? NHS Improvement or Transformation - lessons from Covid Schools and Education - what do they actually teach? The role of imagination in transforming public service Words you don't see in public policy position statements Marmot and widening inequalities The role of interdisciplinary explorations and imagination How might we relocate power through networks and alliances of influence The post pandemic context and why we might not reach it Stranded in the strategic high peaks You can find John on twitter @ProfJohnDiamond Support this podcast

Tackling the role and meaning of sex during the lockdown, Doortje and I speak about the meaning and role of sex in times of high anxiety and despair. Working with couples across the world over the past two decades, I've noticed that sex is one of the main ways people cope with and manage their stress of various nature. Especially in times like these, we are driven to consider basic needs of feeling safe, loved, and achieving agency over our bodies and lives. Some look at sex as a way to be reminded that they are alive, they can still find pleasure in life, and create comfort in the idea that there is one area that they can still control about their bodies and their intimate relationships. Some others refrain from it and need to feel safe first before allowing physical connections as such. Doortje draws from her experience of 3 decades as a leader in the field of sexual health and wellbeing by sharing lessons learned from community education, the #MeToo movement, history and experiences of shame. She offers the idea that kindness can serve as a lens through which healing can be achieved. She encourages us to be more compassionate, towards ourselves and others, around our need to express ourselves sexually during this time and have sexual connection as a primal need, a form of coping for many. She reminds us that sex is not just about orgasms but a range of physical touch that could bring one joy. Follow Dr. Sara on IG | Join our community for resources and material discussed in the black fish podcast episodes.About Doortje Braeken van SchaikDoortje Braeken van Schaik has more than 35 years of experience in adolescent sexual reproductive health and rights, 25 of which with the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the largest sexual and reproductive health and rights organisation in the world, with expertise grounded in youth, gender and rights issues.

About this Episode In this episode, I talk with Dr. Bob Lee, whose amazing research shows the importance of being trustworthy as a leader.  Bob shares some of the most profound (and sometimes surprising) findings about how trust is a crucial factor in keeping workplaces happy and healthy. About Our Guest (from Bob’s website) My area of expertise is in how and why the world’s best employers use great workplace cultures to drive competitive advantage. I’ve held various senior leadership positions with Great Place to Work Institute including four years as chairman of its Global Advisory Board, and I continue to support global multinational clients in my role as a senior consultant with Great Place to Work USA. I hold an MBA from the University College Dublin Smurfit Business School, and I live in Dublin, Ireland with my wife and family. Trust Rules is my first book, and I’ve recently started working on ‘the difficult second album’. Considering that it took me six years to research and write Trust Rules, the second book should hit the shelves sometime in 2023! As a professional public speaker, I deliver customized presentations for business leaders and their teams on topics related to how and why to create great workplaces. I’ve developed a number of talks that focus on the practical ways that managers build trust, with the scope to focus in on particular rules when that’s helpful. If you’re interested in exploring how I can help your organization to improve its performance by cultivating a high-trust workplace culture, let’s chat. Please get in touch.

We met Jo Chidley, beauty entrepreneur and founder of Beauty Kitchen, effective, natural, and sustainable beauty, almost a year ago and have been stalking her ever since to give us some airtime.  We are so excited to have caught up with her in her busy schedule running a multi-million turnover business from her native Scotland. Jo has won multiple industry awards, including the Natwest Everywoman Award in the Brand of the Future Category and was recognised as one of the 10 most influential people in Natural Beauty in the UK. She’s been featured in the likes of ELLE, Woman & Home magazine and BBC News and is a founding member of the Global Advisory Board for Sustainable & Natural Cosmetics. Jo was voted Nr 2 in the 2018 Who’s Who of Natural Beauty. In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Jo takes us back to her early days in the beauty business, and talks us through her start-up strategies and how she grew from small beginnings to where Beauty Kitchen is today. We realised talking to Jo that while some connections and opportunities come through sheer luck, there are many others that are out there for the taking, if you know when and where to look for them.  These include free business advice and numerous sources of funding. Jo and her husband knew they wanted to start a sustainable beauty business and spotted a gap in the sustainable, natural beauty market between the "fun of Lush and the efficacy of Neal's Yard", as Jo describes their niche. However, even though hugely successful now, Beauty Kitchen started small and took its time to thrash out that market niche and point of difference.  Jo tells us that her big break came in a rushed, rather impromptu but nonetheless very cleverly pitched 10-minutes to a retail buyer over a coffee in Starbucks. The beauty entrepreneur has to know how to plan and yet be super calm and flexible at a moment's notice to make the most of golden opportunities. Listen to Jo's experience, infectious energy and sound advice and you'll gain invaluable inside tips from a seasoned beauty entrepreneur.   In this episode, you'll gain beauty entrepreneur tips including: Don't rush your market research and the ground work needed to map your business model. Early sales at markets and fairs might seem a time waste but realise that the feedback you get and the resilience you gain personally from these experiences can help you define a better business and products later on. You need to be curious and do your research and have your antenna tuned to funding and networking opportunities.  There are more funds out there for start-ups that you might think, from free business advice to grants. Use your gut feeling too. If you have a product ready for market, but your 6th sense and market research is telling you it's not quite the right time for it to be understood, hold back. Start slowly but surely educating your market first and then try again. If your product or business doesn't succeed in its early days, learn to "fail fast, fail cheaply and move on and learn from it".  A wise entrepreneur knows to cut their losses, be strengthened by the experience and save their energy to start again, differently. Key take-out from this episode on becoming a beauty entrepreneur are: One opportunity often leads to another. Once you've gained one pot of funding, won one small award or some seed funding, you start to get noticed and to notice other sources of business know-how and start-up funding available to you at low or even no cost. Retailers, bank managers, and other entities you might wish to approach as you build your business are generally time poor. Try scripting out standard one-, three- and five-minute pitches that say everything important for your audience to know. Edit these pitches for different audiences. Getting hands-on and showing how your products work and how they differentiate themselves can do more than words on Powerpoint slides sometimes. So, get creative with your approaches to third parties. Seek out networking events and communities with like-minded businesses; someone will no doubt have had your issues and be able to offer mutual help. Sustainable business is not a trend but a new way of doing business. See how you can implement sustainable business practices transparently and ethically into your processes and products, whether in terms of packaging or moves to zero waste. Do what you can when you can. Small transparent steps are better than rushing and then not being able to deliver on promise. In this episode, Jo mentions several funding entities and other resources: Entrepreneur Handbook - a complete list and guide to small business funding in the UK. Entrepreneurial Spark - accelerator, intrapreneur and mindset enabler organisation and network. Startup Grind - global community of entrepreneurs.
