 "The film value chain is very disconnected from today's online reality" Ben Johnson, Founder Gruvi In this episode we are joined by Ben Johson, Founder of the digital media agency, Gruvi. In a wide ranging conversation, Ben describes the lightbulb moment that led him to establish a film-specific model and why he believes the current value chain in the sector is out of sync with how audiences make decisions. We also talk about how and why cinemas have a distinct advantage in the film ecosystem (around their audience data) and how they can leverage this through greater collaboration with distributors. Ben also reveals the markets he is most excited about currently and why the future of independent film distribution is bright.  About Ben Johnson Ben Johnson, the founder and Head of Strategy and Audience Technology at Gruvi, stands at the forefront of the entertainment industry's evolution.

“Choosing a non-alcoholic option isn't a less than choice.” —Anika Sawni The lines between drinkers and non-drinkers are beginning to blur as new options emerge. Where social events were once defined by their alcohol consumption, people now gather for deeper connections unbound by beverage choices.  Gruvi co-founder, Anika Sawni's vision celebrates the joy of community while empowering individuals to make choices that align with their health, values, and mood. Their growing range of sophisticated yet accessible zero-proof options ensures no one ever feels left out or like a third wheel due to their drinking habits alone.   Listen in as Anika shares her journey launching Gruvi, and their focus on taste, variety, and accessibility when crafting their award-winning non-alcoholic bevies. Justine and Anika also discuss the growing interest in reducing alcohol consumption, what mindful drinking means, and how we can help build an inclusive drinking culture.  Meet Anika:    Anika Sawni is the co-founder and Director of Marketing at Grüvi, a company that produces alcohol-free beverages. She studied neuroscience at McGill University before teaming up with her brother, Niki Sawni, to launch Grüvi.   Anika's journey with Grüvi began when she noticed the lack of non-alcoholic options at social gatherings. This observation led her to create a healthier alternative that could complement social experiences without adding inebriation.   Grüvi started with a focus on the cannabis community in Denver, and it quickly gained popularity. Today, Grüvi's products, which include alcohol-free wine and beer, are sold across more than 1,500 stores, including Whole Foods, Total Wine, Target, and the Canadian grocery chain, Sobeys.   In addition to her work with Grüvi, Anika has also served as the VP of Events for McGill Students for DueNORTH from 2016 to 2019. She was named to Forbes's 30 Under 30 list in its food and beverage category in 2021. Anika's future aspirations include founding a company focused on brain-based interventions.   Anika Sawni's work with Grüvi exemplifies her commitment to promoting healthier lifestyle choices and her innovative approach to addressing gaps in the beverage market.   Website Facebook X Instagram LinkedIn Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 01:42 Building a Non-Alcoholic Brand  08:49 Working with Family 11:58 Addressing Consumer Barriers  18:45 Shifting Societal Attitude Toward Drinking 22:36 Mindful Drinking Habits 28:02 Focusing on Taste and Accessibility  

Gruvi is an award-winning non-alcoholic beers and wines brand out of Denver, CO. Co-founder Anika Sawni discusses why alcohol-free brands are surging in popularity right now, what it's like competing with established brands like Coors, Heineken and Budweiser, how Gruvi is helping change cultural perceptions about non-alcoholic drinks and where she sees the AF industry going in the next five years.

I met Anika Sawni at the Unstoppable Women's Conference in October of 2023, where she was an inspiring keynote speaker - in what I learned in this podcast was her very first keynote!  She'd recently been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and I was captivated by her talk and her brand and market and culture-changing opportunity.  At the conference, I was able to sample Gruvi's Juicy IPA, Rose, and Dry Secco - and I loved them all!  And - none of them have any alcohol!  Whaat?!  Anika joined me for her first in-person podcast recording session during the Christmas season, and I'm happy to share it as our first episode of Season 4 of The LoCo Experience!Anika was in her fourth year of university in Montreal when the seeds for Grüvi were sowed.  After a healthy lifestyle in her earlier years, she'd drifted into binge drinking (like most of her friends) during her undergraduate, but gave up alcohol when she saw it impacting her mood and performance, and threatened her acceptance at medical school.  She was on a neurosurgery path, but when that path was disrupted - she opted out of medical school and pitched the idea of a cool, countercultural - and non-alcoholic special times beverage to her brother Niki.  Niki had gained strong experience in business and finance at Salesforce, but had an entrepreneurial itch to scratch too, and soon after, Gruvi was born.  Finding their path to revenue largely blocked in their native Canada, the pair soon moved themselves, their parents (out of retirement), and shortly thereafter, Anika's boyfriend! - to Denver, Colorado - epicenter of tasty beers and healthy lifestyles in the American West - to work on Gruvi.  This is the story of a young company making its' mark with fresh and tasty and low-calorie and alcohol-free beverages, and the young lady's vision that started it all.  It's a Gruvi episode, and I hope you'll enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Anika Sawni.  Episode Sponsor: InMotion, providing next-day delivery for local businesses.

Do you often google: "How to know if I should stop drinking?" or "Do I have a problem with alcohol?" and come up with the same unhelpful results? This episode is centered around encouraging you to ask yourself the questions that will help you come to the conclusion of how alcohol plays a role in your life and what you want that to look like moving forward. I am not giving professional advice on how to get sober, but rather helping you get curious and come to that decision on your own. SALT LAKE CITY EVENTS:June 8th at 6:30PM - Sober Meetup at Curiousity!

Anders Caldwell has writing in his blood, so he decides to pursue his story-telling ways through a podcast about a tiny island off the coast of Maryland called Frick Island. The 94 residents on the island only come and go via Bob Dan's boat, and there is no cell tower or internet, so Anders can take the liberty of sharing all of the islanders' quirks with the outside world without fear of reprisal. Nothing changes on Frick Island, not the inedibly sweet cake they're famous for or its lack of alcohol. The folks who live here support each other and even pretend to see dead ex-residents when the need arises. Close knit doesn't begin to describe their enmeshment. What will happen as the island finally gets a cell tower? Will outside influence tear them apart or draw them together? Hop onto Bob Dan's boat and see for yourself! Today, we are drinking two non-alcoholic wines that would fit right in on Frick Island and one that is only 10.5% alcohol. The first non-alcoholic wine is a bubbly rose from Gruvi, that reads more like a jolly rancher or a sweetart than a wine, and the second is a Mosel Riesling from Leitz, redolent of acidic apple. The lower alcohol sip is COS Nero d'Avola, a dry Sicilian wine with notes of red cherry and tomato leaf that pairs well with beef stew, lentils, mushrooms or barbecue. See for yourself whether you miss the alcohol. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/readingbetweenthewines/support

Hosted by industry analyst Johanna Koljonen, it delves deep into the rapidly evolving film industry. This episode reflects on the issues of traditional film distribution and proposes new ways of dealing with them. Between targeted marketing, wider collaboration in the industry, explaining the new role of the curator distributor, and best practice examples of creating an exclusive cinematic experience, guest speakers Ben Johnson and Katarzyna Orysiak-Marrison present opportunities that come with a new reality of distribution in a post-pandemic and digital era. Ben Johnson is CEO at Gruvi: The key questions for the entertainment industry are 'who is my audience?', 'why would they be interested in my content?', 'what parts of my story will engage with them?' and 'how do I reach them effectively?'. These are the questions that I have built Gruvi around. Our ethos is all about The Audience: every product we build, every service we deliver, is orientated towards delivering MEANINGFUL answers to those questions. Gruvi is a media-tech company that specialises in working across the value chain of a film's release. We have products and services that work for producers, distributors and exhibitors. Through this experience, we have an innate understanding of digital audiences and how they interact with films and online ticketing. We focus on how our clients harvest audience behaviour, through the development of gold standard ad operations underpinned by data capture systems, data warehousing and visualisation technologies, and then apply these to the campaign in order to drive optimal engagement and sales. Katarzyna Orysiak-Marrison is Head of Marketing and Distribution at Gutek Film in Warsaw, Poland. Working in the film industry for 16 years, specializing in marketing and distribution strategy. With Gutek Film since 2013, responsible for many successful campaigns for films such as: Parasite by Bong Joon-ho, The House That Jack Built by Lars von Trier, Portrait of a Lady of Fire by Céline Sciamma, Toni Erdmann by Maren Ade, Annette by Leos Carax, Drive My Car by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Parallel Mothers by Pedro Almodóvar and C'mon C'mon by Mike Mills; amongst many others. In 2022, Katarzyna produced a new festival for Gutek Film, Konfrontacje Filmowe (‘Film Confrontations'), a festival showcasing, and premiering, an exclusive selection of the most interesting titles from the upcoming season, screened in 24 arthouse cinemas spread across 18 cities in Poland. The host Johanna Koljonen is a media analyst, broadcaster, and experience designer based in Sweden. She is co-founder of boutique consulting firm Participation Design Agency, and the author of the Göteborg Film Festival's annual Nostradamus Report. This podcast episode has been developed in partnership with Europa Distribution, the European Network of Independant Film Publishers and Distributors. The Berlinale's European Film Market is the first international film market of the year, where the film industry starts its business. Industry Insights - The EFM Podcast puts a spotlight on highly topical and trendsetting industry issues, thereby creating a compass for the forthcoming film year.

Episode 392  - One Week Without Alcohol.   Today we have Megan.   She is 34, from Florida, and has been sober since June 22, 2021.   Gruvi: https://www.getgruvi.com/   Highlights from Paul   Stacking days, which is a day here, and a couple of days there, is fantastic, but your body and mind will respond faster to continuous sobriety, and I think a week is the most doable chunk of time. I know for me, even 30 days was overwhelming.   Day 1:  Drink water, then more water. Eat at least one full, healthy meal. Your body is detoxing today. Anxiety is part of this. Embrace the process. Remember the pain. Exercise will help with sleep. Sleep won't be great, and night sweats are expected. Expect cravings, and ice cream is your friend.   Day 2:  Expect to be tired, exhausted, and anxious. Drink water, sleep, eat ice cream and worry about sugar later.   Day 3:  Sleep should improve and welcome back appetite. Eat a healthy breakfast.   Day 4:  Your body is healing. Drink water, sleep and eat (sugar does help with cravings.)   Day 5:  What happened? You may be sleeping better, and you are hungry. Eat some healthy food and don't worry about calories. Your brain is coming back on, which has two sides:  your cognition is better, and the thinking mind is on overdrive.   Day 6:  Your confidence is building, and your energy begins to return. Inflammation begins to dissipate.   Day 7:  Sleep! Cellular restoration. Mental clarity improves.   Tips for week one:   Drink plenty of water Exercise for at least 20 minutes. It gets endorphins going Eat at least one meal with healthy greens Put pen to paper and capture your insights Remember, it's a week and not forever.   Seven days is the start of the healing process. Your seven days await – go get 'em.    Paul describes PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms) in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esHLnz-BUXw&t=1s   Better Help:  www.betterhelp.com/elevator - 10% off your first month. #sponsored                                                                               [15:40]  Megan has been sober for over a year. She lives in Orlando, has two kids, is a social worker, and is getting a master's in criminal justice. She loves to travel and has been to 25 countries. She loves the beach, music, theater, working out, and theme parks.   Megan grew up in a conservative religious home with no alcohol in the house. Her grandfather was a recovering alcoholic. Alcohol was a big part of her family history, and Megan experienced a lot of generational trauma. Megan's father passed away when she was 15, and her childhood abruptly ended. Coincidentally she had her first drink that year.   Megan started using alcohol as a coping mechanism in her early twenties. Her marriage, work, and being a grown-up were a lot to manage. In 2021 she started working for a men's prison, which changed her life. Giving something back and witnessing other people's trauma helped her harness her inner strength. Megan was able to share her story and learned to adopt solid self-care practices. Slowly, she started to heal.   Today, Megan sees sobriety as a beautiful way to live, even if incarcerated. She credits the men at the prison with helping her to get sober. Her sobriety tools include self-care, Café RE, leveraging an accountability partner, focusing on the good in life, and great friends.

Taste Radio's hosts discussed several recently announced collaborations, including those of high-profile drink brands that have aligned to create new RTD cocktails, a well-known entertainer and an upstart energy drink company and a humanitarian initiative that connects with better-for-you brands. They also chatted about notable new products, including a line of shelf-stable tamales, NA wine and beer and a protein bar with a somewhat odd name.

We are talking to one  of our FAVORITE women in honor of International Women's Day! In our most special and personal episode yet, KB, our mom, is here sharing her journey - from struggling with alcohol to getting sober and how she has stepped into a life full of true and authentic joy. But it wasn't easy. In this honest conversation, we talk about having two family members in rehab back-to-back, how alcoholism looks different for everyone and how it has affected all of us. We're so proud of her for sharing her story and hope this inspires and helps anyone who is or has a family member struggling with alcohol and addiction, or anyone who is just curious about trying out sobriety.  Mentioned in the episode: Quit Like a Woman - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0828Z1WT4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1Hello Someday podcast - https://hellosomedaycoaching.com/podcast/Gruvi, non-alcoholic wine - https://www.getgruvi.com/ Onsite -  https://onsiteworkshops.com/Other resources: Recovering Couples Anonymous (great meetings for couples dealing with addiction) - https://recovering-couples.org/Yoga of 12 Step Recovery (meetings available from all over the world that combines yoga with meetings) - https://y12sr.com/meetings/

As we approach the end of January, anyone who decided to take a month off booze is likely chilling their fave drink right now. I'm hoping to extend the period and work on being #sobercurious. This episode talks about why I chose to do this now and how the term #juicyjanuary by Mia Birdsong helped me reframe the month.  During the episode I share resources to help you on your journey. This all started with "Quit Like a Woman" by Holly Whitaker  and a post about #juicyjanuary by Mia Birdsong.  I had the great fortune to attend a webinar with Ruby Warrington who coined the term #sobercurious and wrote the next book I'll listen to: The Sober Curious Reset.  To keep the fun rolling this month, I discovered some great non-alcoholic bevs: Gruvi and Harmon's Craft NA Beer.  If alcohol is taking up too much brain space in your life, I invite you to join me on this journey. You don't have to exclaim that you'll never drink again, but you might find the urge to do some diminishes greatly leaving lots of time and energy for more of life's gifts.

Fellow O.G. blogger, creative consultant and author, Jessica Murnane, catches up with Jordan about her new book, Know Your Endo, a groundbreaking educational resource for those who have endometriosis: a disorder so many women, worldwide, suffer from in silence, due to shame, lack of information, and misdiagnosis. As you'll find out in this episode, this condition is so much more than "painful periods." Jessica's book distills her own years of suffering from endo and searching for the management tools to feel normal again. She researched tirelessly to combine her own experience with science, giving you an informed, heartfelt, and hopeful five-week guide to help you get through to the other side. It's accessible, safe, and empowering to know you're not alone, your suffering is real, and it's not in your head!  After ten years in the wellness & health space, Jessica is now setting her sights on a future that is yet to be written, but will most certainly be fun, fresh, and light-hearted. Both, herself and Jordan, are fleshing out ideas for fiction & they also bond over a love of Bravo shows. ;) Jessica has built an incredible career, family life (her son is an expert on periods and endo, which is just too adorable), and a beautiful kaftan wardrobe, despite her chronic condition. So for any of you crippled in pain and feeling alone: you are not defined by your illness and have a friendo in Jessica Murnane.

In early sobriety, sober treats are important, not an indulgence.  Don't underestimate their power, because sober treats are essential to helping you both stop drinking and keep going once willpower runs out and motivation fades  When you're walking away from drinking you need your time without alcohol to feel rewarding and kind - not like a punishment or deprivation.  And most of all you need sober treats because you've been stuck in a “reward rut” for way too long.  After decades of 'adulting' often our universe of rewards and pleasure options have shrunk to the equivalent of ‘bars and bakeries' (alcohol and sugar).   Hard day? Wine.  Promotion at work? Wine.  Friday night date? Wine.  Kids being hard? Wine.  A few hours to yourself? Wine.  Anxious? Overwhelmed? Lonely? Wine.  You deserve more. Sober treats will open your imagination and help you find and enjoy new sources of pleasure and comfort. Today, I am diving into how to quit drinking without deprivation or relying on willpower by using sober treats.    For full show notes, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/58   Are you ready to add The Sobriety Starter Kit course to your sober toolkit?

OG listeners of the podcast may remember Brandin Cohen, founder of Liquid IV, as the FIRST guest on TBB Podcast  five years ago, when both his and Jordan’s brands were in their infancy. Brandin is one of Jordan’s dearest friends and she is thrilled to have him back on the show today.  Half a decade later, Brandin joins the pod again, and so much has changed! Fresh from the acquisition of his company, he’s settling into his new beautiful home (where they recorded this episode).

In today’s episode, you’ll hear all about the friendship and beautiful brand that has flourished between Jordan and Siffat Haider, co-founder of Arrae: an alchemy supplement brand that beats fatigue, bloating, and anxiety. It’s become a lifeline for Jordan and her inner circle, who can’t get enough of their holistic and targeted products, Bloat and Calm. Seriously, digestive tablets have never felt – or looked – this good!  Siffat reveals the origin story of Arrae, which began with her concocting homemade formulas for herself and her husband when digestive issues arose. Something clicked when they both realized the gap in the market for high-quality, potent products that speak to and not at the final consumer, looking for a clear-cut, well-researched solution to their stomach ailments.  Any budding entrepreneurs and small-business owners out there will love learning about Siffat’s company vision and how she aligned with the right influencers, who loved their product as a consumer-first, to help get their brand off the ground. Obstacles come up in every business venture. You’ll hear how Siffat has transformed hurdles into learning experiences and learned about the importance of adapting along the way. She built this brand with her husband (wait until you hear the backstory behind the name) and shares how their relationship has grown even stronger since they started working together.  Lastly, we wrap up with a sprinkle of astrology and Human Design and connect her signs and type to her relentless entrepreneurial spirit.  Thanks to Arrae for sponsoring this episode! Jordan cannot wait for you to try this simple yet potent formula of holistic products designed to target digestion. Get ready to fall in love with food again.

This is a fascinating deep dive and a very exciting conversation with author, activist, and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson! Jordan has been a fan of Marianne’s forever, ever since she read ‘A Return to Love’ and turned to Marianne for her accessible teachings on awakening, spirituality, receiving miracles, healing, human rights, and now politics. Given the sheer expanse and magnitude of Marianne’s professional and spiritual journey, there were almost too many subjects to cover, a variety of which have never been spoken before today’s show. They discuss politics and policy in great depth, Marianne’s 2020 presidential run, the mind body connection, healing chronic pain, the troublesome aspects of modern spirituality, and so much more! If you want to learn more about Marianne and Jordan’s takes on Q Anon & other conspiracy groups, this is the place to do it.  These are all heavy, potentially triggering topics, so come in with an open mind! Marianne’s insights are so grounded in love, knowledge, and hope, so we hope no matter where your beliefs are this will be a fascinating and hopeful conversation to you. Her message to young people, particularly women, to actively participate in the political sphere is so timely and relevant given the tides of political upheaval America has processed recently. We also go into common topics on TBB like human design, astrology, and where Marianne sees herself in 5 years!  Thanks to https://us.foursigmatic.com/special-offer-new/special-deal-coffee1?discount=PORTAL&afmc=PORTAL&utm_campaign=PORTAL&utm_medium=partner&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=PORTAL&utm_term= (FourSigmatic) for sponsoring this episode.

Today is our second installment of: CO-HOST SPOTLIGHT!! We interviewed our gal Jamie Hess to talk about “loving your hustle,” because truly no one does it better than her! Jamie spent two decades as a high-level Public Relations pro with clients including W Hotels Worldwide, LinkedIn, McDonald’s, Barry’s Bootcamp, and many more.Over time, she found that her favorite clients were always those in the health + fitness space, and she yearned to pursue that area full-time… and thus, @NYCfitfam was born! Her instagram account-turned-360-lifestyle-brand led her to being named one of the "7 Fittest Couples on Instagram" by Women's Health, and eventually gave birth to her current career on television. But we wanted to know… what is her “special sauce” for growing her business, how has she applied learnings from the corporate world into “influencer life,” and most importantly... how the hell does she maintain ALL THAT energy & passion while balancing six jobs, one husband, two kids, and a pandemic??

Anika is the founder of Grüvi and a member of the sober curious community. This is her story of being an entrepreneur and helping to provide NA beverages to those who want them.   Odette’s weekly installment of: Finding the Better You. You are in charge of setting and honoring your own boundaries. Everyone has different triggers, for example if NA beers and beverages are triggering to you, then you don’t have to explore that avenue. You know how to best protect your journey. Stay open and stay curious and protect your energy.   [4:53] Odette introduces Anika.   Anika is sober curious so she’s not very strict on keeping track of dates. But her last drink was right around the beginning of Covid. She is 24 years old and lives in Canada. She enjoys being outdoors, yoga, hiking and traveling.   [6:56] Walk me through your sober curious journey.   Anika said her sober curious nature came out during her last year at University. She was a social drinker, but in her last year she found herself saying “I don’t want to have to go out with friends tonight, because then I will have to drink and then I will be hung over.” She experienced all the benefits of a life away from alcohol: better sleep, having more clarity and being more productive.   [9:38] Did something spark your thought process to become aware of a life away from alcohol at such a young age?   Anika said at first, she was like everyone else with regards to drinking and felt it was a stage in life. But when she created the Grüvi brand was when she really started to see how life can continue on without alcohol and with an alternate beverage. She was able to have a social life without having to have the social lubricant.   [11:15] How did Grüvi start?   Grüvi launched a year ago in Denver and it’s a family business. They have been a health focused family, led by their father. Finding that the NA category was lacking in options pushed them to create Grüvi.   [12:34] Where did the name come from?   Anika said Grüvi is taking the word “groovy” and making it fun and new. You can be fun and silly and youthful even without alcohol.   [14:59] Tell me about the specifics of Grüvi?   Currently, there are 4 craft beers and 1 prosecco. The beers are brewed through a process of arrested fermentation, which stops the brewing before any alcohol is introduced. However, because this does go through a fermentation process, there are trace amounts of alcohol (similar to kombuca). The prosecco is 0.0% ABV. They are expanding too! Anika says that hopefully they will be offering a bubbly Rose by the end of summer 2020.   [20:58] Are most people open to the dialogue (about this NA movement)?   Anika said that after living in Denver for over a year after University and returning to Canada and the friend group there, she was a little nervous. Through this she has realized that her friends support her no matter what. And she told them she is happy with her decision to not be drinking so they should be too.   [23:10] What’s it like working with your family?   Anika said so far, it’s been great! They are living together again as a family and it’s been smooth. She’s enjoying the opportunity to grow closer to her family through this.   [33:30] What are you excited about right now?   Anika said every day is new and exciting. Grüvi is at that step where they are expanding and growing. This includes new states and being able to be local and accessible to more people. They are expanding their ambassador program and Anika is spearheading this. She loves getting to talk to the community and grow the movement together.   [36:50] Rapid Fire Round   Other than Grüvi, what’s your favorite NA beverage?   Being her own bartender and making mocktails or a matcha latte.   What is a memorable moment you’ve had while not drinking?   Going out dancing with her friends and enjoying the music.   What are some of your favorite resources?   Books: The Sober Curious & This Naked Mind Instagram accounts: @Ditchedthedrink @soberbabes   What parting piece of guidance can you give to listeners who are thinking about ditching the booze?   Take the first jump, the first decision is always the hardest. You have nothing to lose.   Odette’s challenge this week: Give a new tool a try. Maybe you go to an AA meeting for the first time, maybe you join Café Re, maybe you ask a friend to be your accountability partner, maybe you try a new Kombucha flavor or you try a new meditation. If we don’t try new things we will never know if it will help us in this journey.

Paul opens today’s episode talking about the short term & long term plans for Recovery Elevator: Paul is taking a break from the podcast and he will be focusing on the Recovery Elevator YouTube channel and creating meditations. 1-3 year plans: Recovery Elevator Retreat Center Long term goals: adding more Café RE groups Let’s all start putting thinking bigger and putting Big Energy out into the universe for Recovery Elevator.   [12:09] Paul welcomes Odette, the new voice of Recovery Elevator.   Odette’s last drink was 12/17/18. She is from San Diego, originally from Mexico and is married with two kids. They love the outdoors as a family. Odette enjoys learning about tea, puzzling and cooking. She often runs and uses her indoor bike for exercise.   [16:08] Paul: What have you been up to since Episode 231?   Odette is grateful for her recovery during this time of Covid-19. During her first year sober it’s all about relearning habits, restructuring life and setting new routines. Her year two has been about uncovering a lot of deeper seeded emotions and being more honest with herself.   [19:15] Paul: Can you cover what brought you to wanting to live an alcohol free life?   Drinking felt like a déjà vu of Odette’s previous addiction. (She is also in recovery from an eating disorder.) She had already walked this path and could her inner voice telling her that if she kept drinking the way she was, it would end badly. Her rock bottom was an emotional rock bottom. Odette has always felt like she wanted to be normal and because drinking is normalized in our culture she didn’t initially want to step away. Choosing to do the thing that is not considered normal would again put her in a spotlight. However, she knew internally this was the path she needed to take. For more on her story go listen to episode 128 & 231.   [23:00] They talk about Odette’s path with the podcast.   Odette likes relating to people. She will share when she hears her own story in others. She enjoys sharing books she’s reading and things she is listening to. Sharing a-ha moments.   [24:09] Paul: What are some topics you will cover moving forward?   Practical tips and recovery tools. Focusing on her recovery toolbelt and listening to what’s working for other people. Spiritual concepts and how those can be brought into our lives. Fun facts, history and what she can learn from others. Hearing from others and having the audience suggest topics.   [25:23] Paul: Same format?   For now, Odette plans to stay within the same format of an introduction and then having an interviewee. She loves talking and sharing and is really excited to take this forward, she is nervous at the same time. This is about a movement of living alcohol free and she wants to honor the path Paul has established.   [28:00] Paul: Talk about evoking Rule 22 on this journey.   Odette’s father was silly when raising his own family. She grew up with flawed parents, yet they showed her there was always a path of fun to be found. The life she’s living isn’t a dress rehearsal, it’s the only you she has and it’s too short to not have fun.   [30:06] Paul: Spanish or English?   English. But there may be an opportunity in the future for episodes in Spanish. If you want to share your story you can email odette@recoveryelevator.com   [32:32] Odette turns the tables and interviews Paul. Can you talk about your decision to step down?   Paul acknowledges that he needed to take a break. He thought he needed to start over again, instead of asking for help and delegating a lot of what he’s been doing. The community that he has created came to him with suggestions on how Recovery Elevator can keep moving forward. With some restructuring there is now a path.   [37:20] Odette: Overall how do you feel?   Paul says he feels incredible. That past year and a half has been the most spiritual he has ever experienced. And even more, the past 3 months he found his body cleansing itself of anything that didn’t need to be there.   [39:13] Odette: Tell us about some of the most fun experiences in your travels this past year.   Watching a woman connect with an elephant in Thailand. The elephant laid down on its side and the woman laid on top. Watching the elephant breathing and the two of them connecting was powerful. While in Australia someone from an AA meeting asked if he wanted to go feed the seagulls. Paul put aside his serious side and went to feed seagulls for an hour and a half.   [41:51] Odette: What’s flowing through your creative side right now?   Music has been creeping back into Paul’s life over the past 5 years. He’s been making meditation music. Also 3D meditations where you are walked through your future self, in the present moment. Focusing on the Recovery YouTube channel as well.   [46:20] Odette: Will we hear from you during your break?   Yes, Paul would love to pop in from time to time.   [52:30] Paul: Where do you think we can take this?   Odette says we can start small: have a podcast in Spanish for example. As large as: Traveling across the globe for service projects. A recovery center. She sees this growing in all directions. The opportunities are endless.    [55:08] Rapid Fire Round    What’s a lightbulb moment you’ve had on this journey? Odette: I can’t accept myself if I don’t start with myself. I can’t ask for help, if I’m not helping myself first Paul: We don’t fight an addiction that’s been trying to guide us.   What’s your favorite AF drink? Odette: all Tea, anything with ginger, grapefruit Bubly. Paul: Cold tonic with square ice cubes and tiny peach slices.   What’s on your bucket list in this AF life? Odette: to run a marathon and working in the recovery field. Paul: finding a new home base, follow the body.   Favorite recovery resources? Odette: Café RE, Eckart Tolle, Pema Chödrön, Glennon Doyle, friends and Marco Polo. Paul: You, Café RE, the listeners, meditation.   What parting piece of guidance can you give to listeners? Odette: What you resist, persists.

When quitting drinking is a catalyst to deep soul healing, a massive awakening, and a whole new career! In this episode, Ruby talks to tarot reader and healer Lindsay Mack about how sobriety was a gateway to the breakdown / breakthrough that helped her finally confront the ghosts of the past and step into her healing gifts. A survivor of childhood abuse, Lindsay acknowledges how she turned to medicating with alcohol as a stand-in for more profound healing modalities—and how this prevented her from moving forward. In this episode we also discuss: -What our body is telling us when we have an allergic reaction to alcohol. -Using alcohol to mask misunderstood intuitive, psychic, and empathetic healing gifts. -Being the only sober person in a family of “passionate drinkers.” -The breakdown / breakthough that led to her addressing her childhood trauma and PTSD. -Emotions and feelings as signposts for how to use our power and our gifts. -Alcohol as a way to perpetuate abuse and self-harm when it's all we know. -Using the tarot to understand addiction and as a tool for self-healing. You can learn more about Lindsay and her work at Lindsaymack.com and check out her podcast, Tarot for The Wild Soul, for more mystical wisdom.

What is the future of distribution in an age of unprecedented content, competition and connectivity? Find answers in this special episode of Film Disruptors, recorded live at the 2019 Glasgow Film Festival where I was joined by a panel of experts: Mia Bays, Director at Large of Birds' Eye View year round agency that campaigns for gender equality in film. Ben Johnson runs Gruvi, a mediatech company that helps entertainment businesses reach and engage online audiences. Lee Shelton, responsible for all digital marketing activity across the Curzon group which is a leading boutique cinema, digital platform and distribution here in the UK. Eve Gabereau, Founder and CEO of the new female-led distribution company Modern Films. With audiences increasingly overwhelmed by a vast proliferation of content, from short form to box sets, the challenge to capture attention and engagement for films other than the biggest blockbusters is ever increasing. Yet with these changes, also comes the opportunity to target consumers with higher accuracy and to reach them directly, potentially at much lower cost. What do these trends mean for independent film and how should storytellers approach distribution in 2019?
