From the Black Forest to Honesdale: A Story Grown by HandWhat does it look like to build a life slowly, intentionally, and with your hands in the soil?In this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau sits down with Gudrun Feigl, founder of Mount Pleasant Herbary, whose journey from Germany's Black Forest to Northeastern Pennsylvania is rooted in memory, creativity, and quiet persistence.Gudrun did not set out to become an entrepreneur. Trained as a social worker, she arrived in the United States through a work exchange program, eventually settling in a town that, at the time, felt uncertain and still finding its identity. Over time, as she built a life in Honesdale, something else began to grow.What started as homemade herbal teas shared at Christmas evolved into a small table of three products and eventually into a vibrant shop filled with dozens of handcrafted goods. Today, Gudrun grows her own herbs, creates in small batches, and offers workshops that invite others into the joy of making.This conversation explores creativity, slow growth, community collaboration, and the courage to follow curiosity without a clear roadmap. It is a story about building something meaningful without rushing the process and finding fulfillment in both the making and the sharing.If you have ever wondered whether small beginnings can lead to something lasting, this episode offers a gentle and inspiring answer.Follow Mount Pleasant Herbary:InstagramFacebookFollow HarmonyTALK Podcast:InstagramFacebookYouTubeLinkedin

Listen to discussions with George Boudman who spearheads the Stourbridge Project's initiatives, and tenant, Jason Deron of Flyleaf Print. The Poconos is a year-round destination for millions and with 24-hundred square miles of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers with historic downtowns and iconic family resorts, it's the perfect getaway for a weekend or an entire week.

Jim Weiss has evolved Real Chemistry from a one-person consultancy into an international leader in health innovation. Currently, he serves as Chairman and Founder and as Executive Advisor to New Mountain Capital, Real Chemistry's investment partner. Jim is a healthcare, biopharma, medical tech entrepreneur, business leader, and digital health pioneer. He's been named a Top 50 Health Influencer and Innovator of the Year. Last year, he received the Trailblazer Lifetime Achievement Award.  His affable curiosity began in our hometown of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and was furthered at his alma mater, Syracuse University, where he was inducted into the Newhouse School's 50 Forward as one of its most accomplished graduates of the last 50 years. Jim and his wife Audra also founded the Weiss Center for Social Commerce at S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. In this episode, Jim talks with Todd Stephens about taking the leap from big pharma to launching a start-up. He recounts his early days becoming the leader that, perhaps, no one saw coming. He also touches on the next phase of his career. Through it all, Jim says his commitment to family and giving back kept him grounded. Still, he dispels the myth of work-life balance. He believes the pursuit of “downtime” and "work time" will usually merge. When he's not working, he loves to watch his Northern California teams and listen to The Grateful Dead or see Dead and Co. live! Jim resides with his wife and two children in the Bay Area.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
