Women face misogyny at work every day but the construction industry is like the Wild West and has the second-highest rate of sexual harassment complaints in North America. Natasha Fritz experienced that harassment which is why when she heard a misogynist clip on a construction industry podcast, she decided to do something about it. In this episode, “A Lesson on Doing the Right Thing”, she shares why her choice to publicly call out the offensive remarks was the only choice. TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:  Natasha's experience growing up as sometimes the only female in her shop classes and on her job sites. Feeling like an outcast in your field, just by being the only woman. How Natasha broke out and created her own business. Why the construction industry is resistant to change in areas like gender equity, technology, & sustainability. Natasha's Instagram post that went viral. Change does not have to be risky, it's just unfamiliar. Sexual harassment towards women, especially at work is still a major issue. **The industry with the 2nd highest rate of sexual harassment in the workforce is the construction industry. How Natasha found confidence in her industry to speak up for herself more. The double standards women face when trying to speak out when something is not right. The particular masculinity associated with the construction industry and the toxic work environment it unfortunately presents. There are corporate ways to handle sexual harassment that have not been adopted by the construction industry. Sexual harassment incidents need to be called out more by men. What language do you use when you're in a situation that is uncomfortable? Why some men don't realize the importance of breaking gender roles. What Natasha learned from this experience. The internal misogyny women face at work and how to undo the jerk reaction to accept that kind of treatment. Why forgiveness is key to industry shifts. What feminine leadership could look like in the construction industry.

Natasha Sutton is a mum, the founder of Bundles of Luxe, and a breast cancer survivor. She grew up in a loving family and has spent most of her life on the Gold Coast of Australia. In her early years, she would sing and serve as the designated driver or “roadie” for her dad’s band.   As my guest this week on the podcast, Natasha opens up about her 5-year cancer journey, her new perspective, gratitude, and her desire to write a new, cancer-free life chapter. We also discuss how her business, Bundles of Luxe, was born out of the need for joy during the COVID-19 pandemic. We end our conversation with specific ways to work through a similar diagnosis or how to be a better caretaker to someone who has cancer.   Prior to embarking on her entrepreneurial journey, Natasha worked for Apple Retail for eight years in visual merchandising and information technology, and before that she worked for a university. Natasha is married to an American named Scott and has two daughters Elizabeth and Caitlin. Natasha’s ambition is to be as cool a parent as her dad as you’ll learn more about during our conversation. All these things were in full swing before she turned 40.  When she turned 40, Natasha went for a regular doctor checkup and asked for a mammogram because she had heard on the radio that the government said they were paying for them at 40 despite her own doctor’s suggestion to wait until she was 50. At 40, her mammogram came back fine. Picture of health. Then came her two-year follow-up mammogram and it came up with a lump. Long story short. It was cancer and it had spread.  Natasha needed chemo, a double mastectomy, hysterectomy, and hormone treatment.  There was a time when she was in remission yet today she is back working to get her remission status once again. Natasha’s family remains positive for a good outcome.   Despite her health, Natasha decided to start her business during COVID. She couldn’t go anywhere, she couldn’t work, and she wanted to do something fun that would bring joy to people. She knew that she got excited when she got packages at home because she couldn’t go out to the shops.  That’s how Bundles of Luxe began.   Bundles of Luxe is an e-commerce company that puts together one-of-a-kind gift baskets (i.e. gift “hampers” as they are called in Australia) that are curated with true love and high-quality care. Natasha only chooses products she absolutely loves - things that taste, feel, smell, and look wonderful. She prides herself on sourcing products from small Australian businesses wherever possible and does do international shipping!   Highlights:  Early on Natasha was a roadie and designated driver for her dad’s band who is still booked out now in his 70s. (4:12)  How Natasha interprets motherhood – how she is a “hands-on” and present mum and how that may have evolved and changed following her breast cancer diagnosis. (6:23) She opens up about her diagnosis with breast cancer when her youngest was 6 and oldest was 12, how she changed physically, and stopped being a “hands-on” mum at school. (7:49) Her feeling of being embarrassed about “being the mum with cancer.” (9:20) We discuss the idea of a stigma around “cancer;” also, whether or not it is a taboo topic, as well as, how cancer is viewed in the U.S. vs Australia. (10:32) Being lonely when what you have is not easy to talk about. (13:20) A day in the life for someone who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment and how Natasha’s priorities shifted. (13:43) Her experience using work as a distraction and putting on a happy face. (15:29) An update on her 5-year cancer journey which is still in progress, she is not in remission yet. (21:27) What has been helpful to Natasha during her health journey, including books like Lisa Messenger’s Mantra book, and the book Limitless by Jim Kwik. (21:59) Having the capacity in life, even when we don’t realize it (or use it). (25:00) How Natasha gives back, the questions she gets asked by breast cancer patients, and how the breast cancer community includes both men and women. (27:13) Natasha answers the question, “Is cancer part of your identity?” and how she would like to stop thinking about cancer every single day. (30:24) Turning around your identity from cancer on your mind all day to that of a successful businesswoman. Plus, what she would like her next chapter to look like. (33:07) Her business, Bundles of Luxe: what inspired her to create it, the products she offers (gift baskets with essential oils, products, and more), and how Natasha feels when she puts together a gift basket for someone. (40:34) Natasha’s 5-year-vision for her, plus a vivid description of her dream shop. (47:27) On taking a job that is not authentic, given her perspective and health journey, and the importance of expressing authenticity in your career. (50:53) Natasha’s thoughts on corporate stress these days, don’t sweat the small stuff, and what we can learn from essential healthcare professionals. (53:55) Your self-worth and identity are the heart and soul of your life. (55:13) Why she believes her daughters will be more empathetic because of her health journey. (01:03:27) Some advice for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer and advice for family members supporting those with a cancer diagnosis.

Natasha Case is the co-founder and CEO of Coolhaus, a leading women-founded and -led ice cream and frozen dessert brand creating premium cookie sandwiches and pints. After earning her masters in architecture and landing her dream job at Walt Disney Imagineering, Natasha discovered her newfound passion for creating architecturally-inspired ice cream sandwiches as a way to bring joy to her coworkers during the last recession. At that time, Natasha met her co-founder and now wife, Freya, and they realized the potential and uniqueness of the product. They decided to quit their corporate careers to pursue their passion for ice cream as a real business and create a brand they could identify with. In 2008, they took a barely drivable postal van they purchased on Craigslist to Coachella to officially launch their ice cream sandwiches. The event turned out to be a massive hit and Coolhaus has now become a multi-million dollar business growing 2-3x per year. Natasha has been named 30 under 30 by Forbes & Zagat and has helped expand the business to over 7,500 grocery stores nationwide, from Safeway to Whole Foods.

We are constantly learning more about the importance of mental health and its impact on the overall health of parents, children, and the entire family. More and more clinicians are getting trained in perinatal mental health, which is exactly what is needed. In today’s show, we get a pediatrician’s perspective of stepping in to help new moms, even though their primary role is to support and care for the child. Dr. Natasha Sriraman is a pediatrician and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Eastern Virginia Medical School. She’s an attending physician, researcher, wife, and mother. Her main areas of research include breastfeeding, postpartum depression, and health disparities. Natasha is a strong advocate who lobbies for breastfeeding support in the workplace and postpartum depression screening within the pediatric setting. She researches, publishes, and speaks around the country about postpartum depression and anxiety, breastfeeding, and the importance of the mother in the fourth trimester. When not working, Natasha enjoys running, boxing, yoga, traveling, reading, and going to the beach with her family. In this episode, Natasha shares her perspective, experience, and knowledge of being a pediatrician who incorporates perinatal mental health awareness and screening into her practice as well as how her own experience prompted her to become a lactation consultant. We’ll touch on how the added stress of COVID-19 is impacting families in receiving necessary care and how pediatricians can play an important role in perinatal mental health. Show Highlights: Natasha’s practice and focus on perinatal mental health and the “fourth” trimester, based on her experience and difficulties as a mom The unique opportunities that pediatricians have to engage with babies and mothers during the first year of a baby’s life and “bridge the gap” for families Why Natasha is screening moms even before the first six-week checkup for the baby The delicate balance for a pediatrician of navigating the issue of a mom’s mental health when the baby is your patient How to differentiate between normal “new mom nervousness” and postpartum depression and anxiety that requires help New worries from pregnant women and new moms in the time of COVID-19 Extra precautions in the doctor’s office during COVID-19: taking temperatures and wearing masks How Natasha navigates her work as a lactation consultant Why patients should never feel like they have to choose between breastfeeding and getting treatment for anxiety/depression The need for widespread education in perinatal mental health Natasha’s hopeful message: “It’s been wonderful to see moms achieve a level of comfort in talking to their physicians and pediatricians in the fourth trimester. One positive aspect of COVID-19 is increased access to virtual support groups.” Resources: Natasha.Mom.MD: Care For Kids, Empowerment for Moms Facebook: Natasha Mom MD Natasha Mom MD

This week on the PRmoment podcast, I’m pleased to welcome Natasha Hill, managing director at Bottle.Bottle has a turnover of £2m and is an independent multi-specialist PR firm in Oxford.The business was previously owned by Will and Claire Cairns. Will Cairns still has a stake in the business but Natasha and creative director Colin Cather now run the business day to day.Bottle has 25 staff and about 60% of its work is in consumer markets and 40% in B2B.Here is a flavour of what Natasha and I discussed:[00:01:21] Why Bottle founder Will Cairns can now be found in the Cotswolds, on a bike with a bunch of American tourists![00:02:02] How Bottle founder Will Cairns has exited the day-to-day running of the business and handed it over the Natasha and creative director Colin Cather. [00:04:49] Natasha talks us through the story of Bottle as a business – how it grew to about £2m in 2014 and then lost some momentum (fee income subsequently fell to circa £1.4m.) The business has now grown back to a fee income of £2m. [00:05:14] How Natasha has retained a high number of retainer clients at Bottle, despite the sector trend for an increased number of project-based agency/client relationships. [00:07:10] Why PR clients increasingly value strategic advice over campaign implementation. [00:10:51] Natasha explains the recruitment challenges for PR firms near, but outside of London, in places like Oxford.[00:13:01] How Natasha has restructured Bottle in-line with her brand marketing background.[00:14:36] Why the fact that neither of the current leadership team of Bottle have come from a pure PR background has helped its client proposition.[00:15:32] How Bottle has re-engineered the way the team works and the structure of the working day to reflect the challenges of modern public relations. [00:17:09] Should all PR teams, both in-house and agency split into reactive teams and proactive teams?[00:19:33] How Natasha and the rest of the management team at Bottle have turned around a business that was in decline and created growth. [00:23:08] Why Natasha made the move from a strategic marketing director role at the UK’s biggest charity Cancer Research UK to a small PR firm.[00:25:00] How Natasha's belief that Cancer Research UK needed to become more of a human charity, rather than purely a research-focused charity – led to the organisation’s rebrand.[00:28:40] How post the rebrand in 2012 Cancer Research UK's income was up by 6%.[00:29:44] As a marketer how does Natasha see PR’s contribution to the marketing funnel – which bits of the funnel are realistic for PR firms to grab and which bits are not?[00:32:29] Why agencies are increasingly having to draw the line on the type of work that they can do – otherwise you end up just trying to cover too much with insufficient expertise.[00:33:47] What does PR actually do for a huge charity like Cancer Research UK?[00:37:52] How does Natasha see the relative advantages of having an in-house team compared to outsourcing to an agency?[00:39:38] Natasha talks us through the process of digital transformation she implemented during her time at Cancer Research UK.

Natasha Case is the CEO of Coolhaus, a Los Angeles based ice cream company specializing in unique, sweet-meet-savory flavors. This is Part 2 of her interview. If you missed Part 1 which was Episode 86, I recommend you head back and listen to that one first.   In Part 2 of her interview, Natasha talks about her approach to scaling, how she tackled grocery and scoop shops at the same time, and how she continues to entwine the three arms of the business to support each other. We talked about how she balances deadlines and creativity, the importance of thinking outside the box, and how Natasha’s perspective of leadership and management has changed over the years. Natasha also shared the importance of building new relationships and innovating ideas that keep Coolhaus on top of its game as zealous expansion continues.   Here’s the background scoop on Coolhaus in case you missed it earlier-  Natasha first began exploring the concept of “Farchitecture” – or, Food + Architecture – in her graduate architecture program. She started baking cookies, making ice cream, and combining them into “cool houses”. In 2009 she met co-founder Freya Estreller, and together they staged Coolhaus’ unforgettable launch in a refurbished postal van at the famous Coachella Valley Music Festival.   In less than ten years, Coolhaus has snowballed into a nationwide company. They now distribute to 6,000+ grocery stores ranging from Whole Foods to Safeway to Publix markets with 30 SKU’s including hand-crafted ice cream sandwiches, artisan pints, and chocolate-dipped bars. Natasha has been named Forbes 30 Under 30 for food and beverage and Zagat's 30 Under 30 in New York City. She is also the co-host of the Start to Sale podcast, where she invites the brightest entrepreneurial minds to discuss all that it takes to build a company from launch to exit.     ON TODAY’S EPISODE: How the three arms of her business support each other The importance of tapping into your purpose Why leadership and managing are different skills How the Coolhaus team has grown over the years Why thinking outside the box is critical in a new era of marketing How Natasha’s Angeleno roots influence Coolhaus’s diversity and inclusion Her advice for other entrepreneurs just starting on their journey What’s up next for Coolhaus   KEY TAKE-AWAYS: “Just grinding and doing the work with a sense of purpose, and with a sense of like, "This is something I love and I really want to get it out there." That's the most important thing .” - Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “I just literally wandered into my local Whole Foods and I found the guy stocking the freezer shelf and I asked him, "How do I become a brand that you sell?” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “At that time we didn’t know what's going to hit, so we said let's do a little bit of both .” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “What has made that work is the trucks being that activation, private event, really, that specialty experience. And the shops having that element as well, but being a place to test ideas.” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “You have to really learn to understand people and what motivates them and what about what you're doing is going to speak to them.” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “As the company grows and you can afford to hire stronger and stronger people, it becomes this snowball effect and I think you learn from them and you become better at what you're doing.” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “So trust your instincts, listen to the experts and know when to take the advice, but also know when to trust your gut.” - Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “What does this mean for you in five, 10, 20 years? If this thing went all the way, if it was the biggest it can be, what does that look like? Where does that put you personally?” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “Always trying to think outside the box. That's definitely a big, big part of the marketing these days. And frankly, you often don't have a choice.” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “There are so many different ways to put it out there. I think you kind of pick where you can really shine. And anything that you do, how does it align with your messaging and your storytelling? Every single time. You have to hammer it home so hard.”  -Natasha Case, Coolhaus   “I think leadership is more kind of in your DNA, like, you instinctually love to lead or know how to inspire people, because that's a lot of what business is, "Are people really believing in your mission?” -Natasha Case, Coolhaus CONNECT WITH COOLHAUS: Website: https://cool.haus/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Coolhaus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coolhaus/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/coolhaus/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/COOLHAUS Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/coolhausla What if you could sit in a room with 30 other product makers who are doing exactly what you’re doing -- building a business they love!  You could share resources, leverage each other’s experiences and learn from those who are where you want to be.

She also talks about how she went into action to help another teammate that needed support.  Plus she reads out a moving poem that she wrote after the experience.   In this episode you will learn: Natasha’s social anxiety around sports (3:19) Constantly going through the what ifs (4:31) What Natasha started doing differently (6:30) How Natasha helped her teammate (8:00) Anticipation anxiety is far worse (10:30) Natasha reads her poem (11:58)   Read the poem here:   Dear Anxiety, This weekend you have put me through the biggest storm that I have ever had to navigate alone. Do you remember the week leading up to the event? You were not there, but it also appeared that I was not there either. My emotions appeared to be non-existent. No excitement, no nervousness, not a thing. I assumed it may be a new way of thinking or a found stoicism. As it turns out, it was not. It was the calm before the storm. Or, was I in the eye of the storm? Said ‘see you later’ to my small family, packed my luggage and then I felt a drop. Maybe it was just the dew from a nearby tree. You know how trees can be, rooted with tears at times. I had a hard time sleeping that night. It was time to wake up and catch my flight. Everyone was there and buzzing to go to the east coast. The magnificent Atlantic Ocean is near. I never realized you lived there too. Everything was great till we passed the arrivals gate to baggage. There … you appeared, arms wide open to take me in. Anxiety, you never seize to amaze me how you just pop up out of nowhere. There were dark clouds forming in the distance. I did everything I could to get you off my mind while you sat there taunting my thoughts. I breathed deep and smiled, engaged in conversations about tomorrow plans, got ready to go out and meet the rest of the community. “Why bother going to the pub when you know everyone is going to make fun of you anyway” you can smell the electricity of lightening in the distance. Where did that come from? You side blinded me with a negative conversation starter which I had a really hard time coming back from. I couldn’t sleep. Three days of trying to engage with people and acknowledge my friends with enthusiasm and empathy. Three days of fidgeting and on the edge of breaking down because you said ‘why bother’. The winds blew hard, the rain came at the right moments, and my tears were hidden away in bathroom stalls and showers. Your fear of me being independent and happy has caused me to brace a storm I was not fully prepared for, you knew that. Your trees falling has made me dodge my confidence that I too , can be happy. Your crashing of thunder made me question who I am and where I am in my life. At a time where a storm never needed to be. You brought heavy rains of doubt. Why? Why would you do that to me … to anyone? I remember you being so cool. You would make me question if I should run away from that dog, if I must cross the street to avoid bullys, and you saved me after saying no to going to a party because of a gut feeling. Why can’t we have that cool feeling anymore, where did we go wrong? Why do you bring storms? I saw that storm you brought to my friend. Lucky for them I had tools to shelter the winds and rain you brought in. Just because you can take me down, doesn’t mean I’ll allow you to bring someone else down. I hope we can once again be friends and get over this disagreement we have. Please give me space to clean the mess of this storm you brought upon me and we can talk about the future.
