Have you ever spent time cleaning out your closet, and you take all of your valuable clothes that you spent good money on, and you haul that stuff to your local consignment store or like Plato’s Closet or Clothes Mentor and you are excited for how much money they’re going to give you… and then suddenly the wind has been taken out of your sails when they want to offer you like $3 for your $180 J.Crew blazer? Or $5 for that $250 Coach bag? Yeah, I’ve experienced that a time or 12… well, what if there was a way to clean out your closet AND get what the items are actually worth… AND also get new stuff sent right to your doorstep??? My guests on the Business with Purpose podcast this week are Janet Wu and Erin Wold, the founders of Silkroll… a GENIUS startup that is essentially a fashion exchange program for high end clothing and accessories… Really… I was so excited for this interview and I’m so pumped about what Silkroll is doing (you can tell how excited I am throughout the interview! HAHA!)... Enjoy this episode! About Janet Wu & Erin Wold of Silkroll:  SilkRoll was founded by Janet Wu, who spent 10 years developing her style and taste in fashion while working around the world as an investment banker.  Her lucrative career allowed her to create the closet of her dreams, but left her always wanting more… With a wealth of financial knowledge, Janet took a risk and became the CFO of a cleantech startup and eventually moved to San Francisco where her entire high-end wardrobe became obsolete.  Every day she looked at the fashion she loved but no longer wore and was unsatisfied with the options to purge this valuable collection.  She contemplated, ”how can I keep the value of this fashion and share it with someone who would appreciate my style?” On the 4th of July, 2015, Janet shared her idea with Erin Wold. Erin always dreamed of owning this kind of fashion but with an abundance of student loan debt her ability to invest in high-quality fashion was limited.  By this time, Erin had already spent 4 years in operations at a startup that was in skyrocket growth mode, so she knew her expertise in scaling operations was as valuable as this idea, she became Janet’s co-founder. As they began building SilkRoll, friends connected them to a renowned photographer, San Francisco’s Best of the Best: Gavin Farrington.  His tech background, professional edge, and passion for automation & perfection make SilkRoll’s products appear so desirable online that customers can realize the real value that their style deserves!   CONNECT WITH SILKROLL: Silkroll Website https://www.facebook.com/silkroll https://www.instagram.com/silkroll https://twitter.com/SilkRollSF https://www.pinterest.com/silkroll Special thanks to CAUSEBOX for sponsoring this week's Business with Purpose podcast.

Have you ever thought that you’re at a place in your life where it’s too late to start over? Sometimes I feel like we get to a certain age (an age that doesn’t actually really exist) and we think that we are stuck doing what we are doing forever. We think that if we aren’t successful doing something by age…. let’s day 28! Then we are STUCK. It’s never too late. I mean, Morgan Freeman was 52 when he got his first leading role in a movie… and now we see Morgan Freeman do everything! Vera Wang decided she wanted to be a designer… at age 40! Ray Kroc didn’t open his first McDonald’s until after he turned 50. This just goes to show it is NEVER too late to pursue something you believe in…  My guest this week is Steven Wallace, author of OBRONI AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and founder of Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company, the first beyond fair trade, “single-origin” chocolate in Ghana. I LOVED chatting with Steven because, let’s be honest, I love chocolate, and also because this is an area that I honestly do not know a lot about and I was so eager and ready to learn from Steven’s experiences… You’re going to LOVE this one… About Steven: Steven Wallace, Founder/President of The Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company. Omanhene is the first company to sustain exports of premium chocolate manufactured entirely in Africa. Omanhene is credited with producing the world’s first single-origin chocolate bar in 1994 and with creating an entirely new chocolate category (dark milk chocolate). Omanhene’s entrepreneurial accomplishments and path-breaking business model have been recognized by President Jimmy Carter, former ambassador Shirley Temple Black and the United Nations Global Compact. He was selected as one of the inaugural TED Fellows in 2007. He is a featured subject in the book, “Food Heroes” by Georgia Pellegrini and features prominently in the book “Chocolate Nations” by Orla Ryan. He is the author of “Obroni and the Chocolate Factory: An Unlikely Story of Globalization and Ghana’s First Gourmet Chocolate Bar” (2017, Skyhorse Publishing). Wallace first came to the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana as a high school foreign exchange student during the summer of 1978. (He lived with a traditional Ghanaian family, which consisted of a host father and his three wives and 21 children.) He founded Omanhene at the age of 29. Wallace often speaks on economic development, cross-cultural issues and the challenges of starting a gourmet food business in Africa. He delivered a TEDx talk in Accra and has served as a guest panelist at the US State Department sponsored African Growth and Opportunity Act Forum in Accra, Ghana. Wallace frequently speaks at public events and universities including Brown, Princeton, The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, The University of Michigan Graduate School of Business and Northwestern University. Wallace is a founding partner in NuMedika, a patient-centric telemedicine platform specifically designed for the African continent. Previously, Wallace worked in broadcasting in the newsroom of WMAL-AM 63, a networkowned radio station in Washington, DC and then as an attorney with the boutique tax law firm of Silverstein & Mullens in Washington, DC. He later served as the vice-president of Midstates Sportswear. He served as vice-chair of the board of directors of AFS-USA, Inc. and on the board of trustees of AFS Intercultural Programs, Inc. the largest volunteer student exchange organization in the world. AFS has been instrumental in the US State Department’s YES program bringing young people from countries with Muslim populations to the US to spend a year with a US family and attend a US high school.

  There are a lot of misconceptions around the topic of human trafficking. So many people think it happens in other countries or it happens only to people living in poor conditions or that it looks like a guy in a big white van zooming in and snatching people off the streets. While that may be a tiny, tiny bit true… and I mean, a VERY TINY BIT true… human trafficking in reality looks very different. The fact is, is can and DOES happen right here in our own backyards… to kids - both boys and girls - we interact with every single day.  My guest this week is Anna Ptak… Today’s episode is a little different than usual… Anna is an overcomer of sex trafficking. She is taking her story and sharing it with others as a part of the fight to end this horrific reality for so many around the world and in our own communities. I am in awe of her. Anna joined me live in the studio and our conversation was tough and deep and rich and fun and so many things. It’s going to inspire you.  About Anna:  Anna Ptak is currently an international keynote speaker as well as an Overcomer and policy consultant in the movement to end Human Trafficking. Anna has conducted speaking tours in both New York and California. Anna’s story has been published internationally in editorials such as Asian Geographic and The Examiner. Anna was recently featured on the national talk show The Doctors and Univision’s Primer Impacto. In 2015, Anna showcased her ethical fashion collection during NYFW with garments made by Overcomers of sex trafficking in Nepal. Anna guest lectured at the University of Malta on Child Trafficking Law and has trained numerous governmental agencies and law enforcement on human trafficking. Anna lobbied for anti-human trafficking bills at the Virginia General Assembly and assisted in arguing, drafting bills concerning Human Trafficking including the Safe Harbor Law in NC. Anna also served as the guest speaker for many organizations such as for The National Center on Sexual Exploitation and Shared Hope International. Anna has assisted in writing both national and international policy. Anna has a large focus on establishing the link between pornography and sex trafficking. In her spare time, Anna loves spending time with her husband, and their adorable puppy, Liam Alexander.

Whether you want to admit it or not, you have fears. We all do. Maybe its a fear of bees or being chased in an alley by a masked man (okay, so those are my fears), or maybe it’s a fear of failure… or maybe it’s a fear or public speaking or getting rejected. Or maybe it’s a larger fear like being in fire or a plane crash… The thing is, we can’t let those fears take hold of our lives. We can’t let those fears dictate how we operate or how we interact with others… sometimes we have to take control of our fears and show those fears who’s boss. And I don’t want to start this off making you sad or feel uneasy… but let’s just say, for a moment, one of your worst fears came true? What if? What would you do? Honestly? How would you react? Would you let the fear consume you, or would you fight back? Would you push the fear out? Would you tell the fear to shove it and stick it where the sun don’t shine? Would you use that fear to fuel you to do something greater than you could have ever imagined? Would you use that fear to impact - or even SAVE - the lives of others?  My guest this week is Dave Sanderson… Today’s conversation is going to blow. you. away. Dave is an inspirational survivor, author and former head of security for THE Tony Robbins. His thoughts on leadership, business & survival have made him an internationally sought-out speaker. But, when US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson,” went into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be. The last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane. Dave shares his story with you today and it is absolutely incredible. This is honestly one of my favorite episodes to date and you are going to love it.  About Dave:  Dave Sanderson is the President of his firm, Dave Sanderson Enterprises based out of Charlotte, NC. On January 15, 2009, Dave was the last passenger off the plane that crashed into the Hudson River, best known as “The Miracle on the Hudson” and was largely responsible for making sure so many others made it out safely.  In addition to speaking and training, Dave conducts workshops, is a much sought-after podcast celebrity an author with his best-selling book titled “Moments Matter”, hosts his own radio show on Contact Talk Radio and C-Suite Radio called “Moments Matter with Dave Sanderson” and his daily flash briefing on Amazon Alexa titled, “Dave Sanderson: DECLASSIFIED.” He shares the 12 resources he and others employed that day and how you can use them to not only survive but grow and thrive in your life as a co- contributor with Dominique Wilkins, Don Barden, Brittany Tucker and Steve Nedvidek at the Leadership Mindset Series, the first and only servant leadership coaching program designed to help business leaders around the world to build a happier, more-productive business with a better bottom line.

I remember when John and I were planning our wedding... it literally feels like yesterday. We were on a pretty tight budget, and we were doing almost everything ourselves… And while the details of the wedding day, the florals, the pictures, the dress, the music… It was all important... But the thing I really looked forward to the most was the marriage. Preparing for our marriage was the most important thing to me… My guest on the podcast this week is Adrienne Rolon, the founder of Hearts Content Events and Design Studio. Adrienne is a dear friend of mine and I have wanted to have her on the show for months and I am so excited to introduce her to you today. Adrienne is an incredible wedding and event planner… But what I love most about her is her passion for marriage. Her story is incredible and I know you will absolutely love her!

Did you know that nearly 703 million people around the world are blind… simply due to lack of access to glasses. That’s 703 million people who are blind but that blindness could have been easily prevented if one person, or a group of people stepped in and helped. Well…my guest today is doing just that.. My guest this week is Dr. Travis Zigler, the founder of Eye Love, an eye wellness company with a mission to end preventable blindness. Along with his wife, Jenna, they continue to work part time in optometry and build Eye Love with the goal of eventually opening free clinics in the US and abroad. This was an INCREDIBLE conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear it! About Dr. Travis Zigler: Dr. Travis Zigler graduated in 2010 from The Ohio State University College of Optometry with Magna Cum Laude honors. He is the founder of Eye Love, https://eyelovethesun.com, whose mission is to end preventable blindness. Dr. Travis and his wife, Dr. Jenna Zigler, use the profits from Eye Love to fund free and low cost clinics in Jamaica.  They also started a charity called the Eye Love Cares Foundation, https://eyelovecares.org, which provides exams, glasses and sunglasses for those in need, free education, and scholarships for students that align with their mission.  Previously, Dr. Travis and Dr. Jenna owned two optometry practices, which they sold in 2017 to focus on their online efforts. Dr. Travis enjoys traveling to Jamaica, training for marathons, and playing the ukulele while he drinks his morning coffee (French press... mmmm). Travis's favorite quote: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” - Ghandi Company’s long-term mission/vision A portion of profits from Eye Love sales is donated to the Eye Love Cares Foundation and funds are then used to provide glasses, sunglasses, and eye exams for those who cannot afford to obtain proper eyecare. In the future, the Foundation will be used to fund permanent free and low cost clinics in both the US and Jamaica, and it is our goal to also provide optometry scholarships for students who have an interest in eyecare mission work.

Hey Sistas,     Here are three things you need to know about today's episode.   1: Jerusalem Greer and I have a much needed conversation on the difference between routines to get stuff done and rhythms that give us life.  We used Matthew 11:28-30 The Message (MSG)  as our guide:  “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”      2: We're praying for each other in the Shalom Sistas Hangout and Newsletter. Click the links to join and get your prayer on.   3: We have five questions we consider to create shalom in our schedules: Is this a stress-inducing routine or a life-giving rhythm? What will bring me into a resting heartbeat?  What will bring wholeness?  Does this rhythm reflect who God made me to be or who I think I should be?  If someone tries to challenge the decisions I make to support my rhythm, can I advocate for it  If someone tries to challenge the decisions I make to support my rhythm, can I advocate for it        Two Important Reminders:   1: We’re going weekly now, so make sure to leave your five star reviews so people can find the podcast every week.

There are SO many people (me included), that love to travel. I know I have a list of about 100 places I’d love to see in my lifetime… but there are so many factors that can hold us back from actually getting on a plane and going somewhere. You know, things like time, money, and JOBS. Those pesky jobs keeping us from being a jetsetter… it’s as though we have to pick one or the other. A job or travel… But what if you could do BOTH? What if you could travel and see the world, AND make a positive social impact, while also working? My guest this week is Ann Davis, the founder and CEO of Venture With Impact - a coworking program that engages professionals on a 4-week-skills-based volunteering program ABROAD while working remotely for their jobs, allowing them to develop professionally, rediscover purpose, and in the process, provide a positive social impact. ABOUT ANN: After surviving cancer and subsequently traveling to over 40 countries in her 20’s, Ann found her most valuable and fulfilling travel experiences to be the instances when she stayed in one place, and worked with the local population – forming relationships and learning about their culture in the process. At the same time, she saw friends and colleagues struggle between the desire to maintain careers that provide financial security and the desire to travel and work for the social good. Life is too short not to have it all, so she founded Venture with Impact with the dream that working professionals could share in these same experiences while still working from their jobs. Prior to founding Venture with Impact, she worked for 4 years as a teacher in the New Orleans and New York school systems, initially through Teach for America. Additionally, at the age of 18, she founded Swim for Success, a nonprofit dedicated to providing free swimming lessons and water safety skills to New Orleans Youth.

 Hey Sistas,   For those of you who observe, may you have a blessed Good Friday. Here's a song that is giving me so much to consider about Jesus' death and life today: "Wounded Healer" by Audrey Assad https://youtu.be/Ejrg3zXOW-k   Here are three things you need to know about today's episode.   1: Cara Meredith and I sat down to talk about “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeline L’engle.  We cover everything from our reading experiences as children, what Christian themes we had hoped to see in the movie, and why positive representation matters as we’re raising bi-racial children.     2: We're praying for each other in the Shalom Sistas Hangout and Newsletter.

At some point in our lives, we all experience a feeling of loneliness. It’s a natural human experience and for some, the struggle is worse than others… but it can be a struggle nonetheless. And loneliness doesn’t discriminate based upon age… but I’d venture to say that for kids and teens today, the feeling of loneliness can be crippling. I know for me, I struggled with feeling lonely a lot growing up. I was bullied in elementary and middle school and I never felt like I fit in. There were days where I’d wake up and I wouldn’t want to go to school… I’d fake sick hoping I could avoid the lunch cafeteria for another day. I just felt lost and I didn’t know what to do… I eventually learned ways to cope with that feeling and make a solid group of friends, but those years were so hard. have you ever felt that way? Was this something you ever struggled with? How did you handle it? Did you go with the motions or do you decide to take matters in to your own hands? My guest this week is Shane Feldman, the founder and CEO of Count Me In, the largest youth-run organization in the world that has impacted over 10 million youth in over 100 countries. The organization inspires youth to be positive change agents in their community, and aims to transform the way teens see themselves in connection to the world through volunteerism, community, and mentorship.

The groundbreaking series sent Shane back to high school, embedded as a teenager, to uncover what life is really like for a public high school student today. As a child of divorce, Shane was constantly moving with his mom, lacked consistent male role models, experienced relentless bullying, and felt socially isolated. He had moved upwards of eight times before entering high school. After moving to yet another brand new city, Shane was rejected by his first choice school, and entered 9th grade desperate for a positive experience, but instead felt lost and invisible. With the help of a very committed guidance counselor, Shane became active in local clubs, theater and volunteerism. Getting involved turned Shane’s life around, and inspired him to launch a school project to help his peers find their passion through community involvement. What started as a small project remarkably went viral, and has since evolved into the global phenomenon known as Count Me In. Born out of Shane’s own challenges and experiences, Count Me In inspires youth to be positive change agents in their community. With Shane at the helm, Count Me In is a global leader in immersive and practical student leadership training, and community building. Over the past decade, the organization has inspired tens of thousands of youth-led volunteer projects, equating to over 100-million hours of community service worldwide, worth $2.4 billion. Once socially isolated, Shane is now a renowned youth advocate committed to energizing those who feel lost or disenfranchised as he once did. As an expert on the power of positivity and human potential, Shane travels the globe sharing his story, inspiring corporate and educational audiences to create an inclusive culture of connection, and helping them uncover their value and potential. Shane has consulted for Microsoft, the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), GEAR UP, the International Student Leadership Conference, and Pencils of Promise. He has appeared on national media, was recognized by The United Nations Youth Assembly and the President’s volunteer initiative, Serve.Gov, and was named on Youth In Motion’s 20 Under 20 list.

 Hey Sistas,   Today, I share all the things she's most excited about the return of the podcast for season 3.   Here are three things you need to know about today's episode.   1: I met with the Tuesday morning women’s small group at Slate Hill Mennonite church and we talked about my book “Shalom Sistas”. They were drinking my lemonade recipe during the call, which made my day.    2: We're praying for each other in the Shalom Sistas Hangout and Newsletter. Click the links to join and get your prayer on.   3: The sound quality is a bit spotty here and there because we were talking over Skype and the phone, but it was still a wonderful conversation. We touch on everything from how to choose which manifesto point to work on, what to do about church conflict, what is our Anabaptist life hacks, and how to intervene when we see conflict out in public.    Two Important Reminders: 1: We’re going weekly now, so make sure to leave your five star reviews so people can find the podcast every week.

Each one of us has a gift. Whether you know it or not, and whether you want to believe it or not, I believe deep down that every single person on this earth was given a gift by our Creator… and how we use those gifts to serve others can really impact not only, well, other people, but also ourselves. As adults, I believe the way we use our gifts can also impact the next generation - we can show them what being a good steward of those gifts really looks like. And truthfully, I am continuously inspired by the next generation - I’m learning from THEM - amazing and incredible kids that are using their gifts to give back and really, TRULY make the world a better place.  My guests this week are Sydney Guerrette and Deirdre Catlett - a mother / daughter team who recently started Be the Change Youth Initiative - an organization dedicated to getting kids of all ages involved in serving and giving back to their community. This is such a great conversation and you’re going to learn so much SO much from them!  Deirdre Catlett:  As Operations Manager for Be The Change Youth Initiative, Deirdre collaborates with artisan groups and fair trade wholesale providers, as well as designers for Be The Change merchandise. She also works closely with non-profit partners in an effort to best serve and share their work around the world. But, her most important role is wife and mom to Sydney and her three younger siblings: Brayden, Piper, and Holden. She's also finishing up her Master of Biblical and Theological degree at Dallas Theological Seminary. Sydney Guerrette: As founder of Be The Change Youth Initiative, Sydney spends most of her time speaking to youth about the importance of using their gifts and talents to help other kids around the world. She is a singer/songwriter, and loves to use those gifts to tell the stories of others. Sydney is a 16-year-old homeschooled senior with a heart for missions and a true love for people.   Connect with Be the Change Youth Initiative: https://www.bethechangeyi.com/ https://www.facebook.com/bethechangeyi/ https://www.instagram.com/bethechangeyi/ https://twitter.com/bethechangeyi Listen to Sydney's Music On Spotify Special thanks to CAUSEBOX for sponsoring this week's podcast.

In today’s world, it can be really overwhelming when we see so much hurt and pain around the world. There are humanitarian crises all over the world that are horrific… whether it’s the Syrian crisis, the Rohingya refugee Crisis in Myanmar, or the Central African Republic crisis… we get to the point where we feel bombarded by these stories of pain and suffering around the world and we just want to help. We want to do SOMETHING, anything, to make a difference. And more often than not, the easiest thing for us to do is donate money, but, let’s be honest… donating money can be tough because we don’t know if the money we are donating is ACTUALLY making a difference… we can’t tell if the money we are sending to a particular organization is going to actually be USED to HELP people… what if there was a way for you to know exactly which organizations are doing the best work and the most efficient work and making the biggest impact so you know EXACTLY where to give your money? My guest this week is Katherine Davies, the founder and CEO of IGUACU - the world’s first independent investigative platform that researches the nonprofits, charities, and organizations that are doing the BEST and most efficient work on the ground among the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Iguacu does the world FOR YOU and helps you to know exactly how and where to donate to make the biggest impact. This is such a great conversation and you’re going to learn so much!  Connect with Iguacu: https://weareiguacu.org https://www.facebook.com/weareiguacu/ https://twitter.com/weareiguacu https://www.instagram.com/weareiguacu/ About Katherine:  Katherine Davies is the CEO and Founder of iguacu, (igwah-soo!), a nonprofit, independent investigator, that identifies highly effective charities overseas where the needs are critical. iguacu addresses the frustration people feel when they want to help people caught up in serious humanitarian crises such as Syria or Haiti. It can be difficult and time consuming to know which charity to support. There is nothing else like iguacu. On behalf of the public, iguacu is able to identify exceptional charities thanks to its unique intelligence network of more than 950 experts. Close to what is happening on the ground, the network speaks in confidence to the iguacu team, speaking freely about which charities are highly effective and which are not and why. They also update the team on the changing dynamics of each crisis.  The team and network at iguacu are dedicated to ensuring that donating effectively to where the needs are great is quick and effortless. As iguacu is also a 501(c)(3), many American donors rely on iguacu for their overseas giving, with a monthly donation to where the need is great. They welcome iguacu’s expert curation, monthly impact updates and annual donation statement. iguacu enables busy donors to include in their giving the effective support of the world’s most vulnerable people.  Katherine has more than 25 years' experience working in charities and INGOs, international banking, policy research, strategic communications, campaign management and the media. Prior to completing her MSc in International Relations at the London School of Economics, she was a newspaper journalist and a researcher at the Parliament of Australia.

Sharing her personal thoughts about how to be perfectly happy single,  I chat with Catherine Watkin, who works with heart-centred business owners who want great businesses but don’t want to compromise their integrity. Her specialism is helping you to get more clients saying "Yes Please!" in a way that feels authentic, comfortable and is always in alignment with your values. Catherine's business is aptly named Selling from the Heart.  WHAT WE TALK ABOUT There seems to be a train of thought that we can only be happy if we are in a relationship.......but is that necessarily true?   Catherine Watkin ABOUT CATHERINE Catherine works with heart-centred business owners who want a great business but don’t want to compromise their integrity.  As well as working with hundreds of these business owners through my online course 'Get More Clients Saying Yes!' she has personally mentored dozens of people through her Business From The Heart mentoring programmes, working intensively with people to help take their business to the next stage. No one says it better than her clients (and I've been one of them as you can see):  "Heart-centred doesn't just describe her business, it describes Catherine. Her passion shines through, and I learned so much during the 8 week course. I really felt Catherine cared about me as a person and that my success was important to her." Wendy Capewell, Get More Clients Saying Yes! course participant.   "Catherine’s ability to understand your business and direct you to the right next steps is priceless... She helps you make your own dream matter enough that you go out and do it!" Inger Madsen, 121 client.  CONTACT DETAILS / LINKS Website: catherinewatkin.com Free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1407711392681248 Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sellingfromtheheart/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cathwatkin If you have enjoyed this show then please leave a review.  How to leave an iTunes rating or review for a podcast from your iPhone or iPad Launch Apple's Podcast app. Tap the Search tab.

Your business could change the trajectory of someone’s life or impact the way people interact or have an impact on the environment or give people access to clean drinking water or create urban farming and give people more access to affordable, real food?

Giving. What does that word mean to you when you hear it? Does it mean someone who is giving with their time, giving with their talents, giving with their money, a giver of gifts... what does it mean? For years, I was the most reluctant to give with my money. It wasn’t until I was at my absolute brokest, if that’s even a way to describe it… that I realized that giving of my money, in addition to giving of my time and talents and those things, was actually the most valuable and important thing I could do. When I pretty much had nothing to give, giving became the most valuable things that changed for the better. Do you ever think of giving financially as something that could be sacrificial and life-changing for not only the person that you’re giving to… But also yourself? My guest this week is Ashleigh Becker, founder of Sela Designs. We talk about her incredibly unique business model where she literally gives 100% of her profits away, we talk about her passion for adoption, and so much more.

A Yoga Teacher, Kate and I discuss the benefits of yoga, showing us self acceptance, and whether that can help with acceptance of others. We also explore her thoughts about relationships - including: Kate offers her thoughts about whether relationships give “security”  How to avoid jealousy in polyamorous (or any) relationship Her ideas about what she wants from a relationship  Her thoughts about how to  handle expectations that come up in relationships Tips for navigating the myriad of emotions that come up in relationships Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the knowledge of all partners. It has been described as "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy". Kate Bacon   About Kate Yoga for Self Acceptance is about helping you to access and accept yourself through yoga. I know what it feels like to not be in a happy place with yourself. Letting go of the chatter that goes on in our minds can be such a relief. (I’m sure I’m not the only one who can be self-critical at times – and think unkindly about myself in a way I wouldn’t dream of doing in relation to others). I truly believe that yoga can bring us back to our true selves – our potential (in Buddhism called our Buddha nature) which is way more expansive than we can ever imagine. Bringing our awareness down from our head (to stop the over thinking) to our heart (where we feel). Abiding at our heart allows us to access a true sense of peace and empowers us to be our real selves. The intentions I bring to my teaching are: Openness Encouragement Letting our yoga practice unfold naturally, trusting that it is perfect for each of us I want to provide a beautiful space where you can access a level of peace and calm through being in your body on the mat. I want you to walk away from the class more at peace with yourself, comfortable in your own skin – ‘like a big relaxed sigh’… I went to my first yoga class in London in 1983. I have been practicing daily for the last 10 years and  in 2016 completed my training with Laxmi Yoga 200-Hour Teacher Training with Sally Parkes. My learning is life-long and I continue to study with teachers that inspire me. I’m ever grateful to my practice of Modern Buddhism with the New Kadampa Tradition. Sitting on my cushion is as important to me as being on the mat – and I do my best to bring my meditation and yoga practices to all of my life.  I am a registered teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals. This accreditation demonstrates excellent standards as set by Yoga Alliance Professionals.

There’s a really difficult conversation that happens often in the ethical and fair trade space… and it’s a conversation around respect and getting rid of that savior complex when it comes to sharing the stories of artisans and men and women in vulnerable situations. It’s a fine line to walk. The stories of these beautiful people are important and they should be heard… but they should never be exploited for sales or personal gain. Seeing these artisans for the PEOPLE that they are - the HUMANS they are - and how they deserve respect and dignity… in ALL situations. It’s not about going in as the rich American “saving them from their plight” - it’s about empowering them and lifting them up to share their talents and skills with the world.  My guest on the Business with Purpose Podcast this week is Abby Alley, the founder of Zuri Collection. Abby and I had such an amazing conversation and we tackled everything from discussing how we should be sharing the stories of artisans to what it really looks like to humble ourselves and LISTEN. This is an episode you are NOT going to want to miss a second of! ABOUT ABBY: Abby is the founder of Zuri Collection, a business that seeks to create opportunity for artisans in East Africa to grow their business by having access to a global marketplace and fair wages. It all started back in 2014 when I (Abby) went to teach primary school in Arusha, Tanzania. Seeing firsthand how difficult it is for many Tanzanians to find a job that paid enough to support their families, I knew I wanted to do something to get involved. As a career teacher, I thought about starting a school, but after learning more about the power of fair trade, helping people grow their businesses became a passion. The wheels started turning and I began to dream about what it would look like to partner with artisan entrepreneurs in Tanzania and in other parts of East Africa.  Zuri Collection was launched in October, 2016, and it has been an amazing first year! My hope is to continue to develop a brand where women who love fashion can find quality, ethically-made, and unique pieces. Currently we carry collections of handcrafted bags, baskets, and jewelry.  I love that God made all of us different, yet the same. He gave us all unique talents and diverse cultures, but all of us are made in His image and have a desire to have work and for purpose. Zuri is a place where we see the beauty of God through the stories of women around the world. Our pieces represent those stories. When you wear or purchase Zuri, you are wearing and displaying a beautiful story.  CONNECT WITH ZURI COLLECTION: https://www.zuricollection.com/ (Use coupon code "stillbeingmolly" for 15% off) https://www.facebook.com/zuricollectionshop/ https://www.instagram.com/zuricollection_/ Join my Purchase with Purpose Facebook group and let's continue the conversation! https://www.facebook.com/groups/purchasewithpurpose/ Subscribe to the Business with Purpose podcast (and I'd love it if you left a review** on iTunes!)

I liken a relationship to a ca in this short episode, and how we treat it with care when we first own, but after a while we stop paying it the attention we did at first, and how we often treat relationships in the same way. Taking them for granted after a while.   Wendy Capewell   If you have enjoyed this show then please leave a review.  How to leave an iTunes rating or review for a podcast from your iPhone or iPad Launch Apple's Podcast app. Tap the Search tab.

It is estimated that there are nearly 150 million orphans worldwide. There’s a worldwide orphan crisis… maybe you’ve heard or maybe you haven’t. But it’s a crisis and it’s not getting better. one of the harsh realities of the orphan crisis is that many children, are not actually orphans… but their parents have had to surrender them or give them up because they simply cannot afford to care for them. Adoption is beautiful and adoption is amazing, but adoption is just one solution to the orphan crisis. One of the greatest things we can do is PREVENT kids from becoming orphans in the first place. What if one of the ways we could prevent orphans was just to change the way WE shop? What if we empowered men and women worldwide with jobs that pay fair and living wages so they can care for their children?  My guests on the Business with Purpose podcast this week are Angela Lan and Kara Menning, the founders of Beautiful Uprising, an ethical fashion truck and online boutique based out of Salt Lake City, Utah! You know my dear friend Emily Sexton with The Flourish Market? Well, Angela and Kara have a fun connection to her that you will love hearing about. Kara and Angela and amazing and I know you’ll enjoy this episode!  About Kara Menning: Kara's education on ethical purchasing started many years ago but only after bringing two of her children home from Haiti in 2013 did it turn into more than a “should.”  In visiting the beautiful country of Haiti, she realized that what the developing world needs more of is dignified work, and that sustainable work leads to orphan prevention.  Kara is a wee bit obsessed with fashion and a thoroughly exhausted mother of six.  She's wife to Mitch who encourages her crazy and only sometimes regrets it, and she's also a nurse practitioner who likes to challenge the status quo.  Loves of hers include watching her kiddos turn into humans who can have intelligent conversations, connecting all the unique and amazing people in her life, and music of all kinds. About Angela Lan: Several years ago, via friends and an article, she was introduced to the practice of fair trade.  Ever since learning more about it and more about the working and life conditions of women and families in poverty both in the US and abroad, it has led to her asking, “other than posting articles on social media that has convicted me, what can I tangibly do?”  Beautiful Uprising has been and is one of her vehicles to educate herself as well as a pursuit of spreading awareness to others.  Angela studied International Business at Pepperdine University and then worked in Finance with a large defense contractor for about 11 years.  She is mama to her sweet girl ("P"), a food and drink enthusiast, and a sentimental hoarder.  She loves sitting with a friend over a meal, going to food markets of all kinds, and being provided toilet seat covers in public restrooms.

Have you ever had a dream as a child, or heck, even as an adult, and you had your mind set on that dream? How you thought life was going to certainly take you in one direction, and then an event, or a trip, or an experience completely shifts everything for you and you realize that the thing you thought you were supposed to do is now no longer the thing you thought you were supposed to do? I mean, for me, I spent nearly my entire life first quarter of my life DREAMING of being on Saturday Night Live. It was all I ever wanted to do was make people laugh for a living… and then life took a turn. And my life looks so different than what I thought it would originally look like… but for that, I’m thankful. And I’m now, in so many ways, living a life that is so much richer and fuller thant I could have ever anticipated. I’m thankful for the twists life took me on and the redirection I took… because for that, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Have you ever been in that situation? Have you ever felt like that? Well, it’s not all that uncommon… Has that life twist and turn impacted the lives of OTHERS?   My guest this week is Luc Berlin, the founder of Miigle+, a platform dedicated to making ethical shopping easier for the consumer and connecting consumers to ethical and sustainable brands. Luc has an incredible story and I know you will LOVE him!

Did you know that only about 1 in FIVE plastic bottles are ever recycled? And that it can take between 400 and 1,000 years to decompose. It’s actually estimated that humans are purchasing one million plastic bottles… PER MINUTE. Let that sink in. One million bottles PER MINUTE globally. And with 91% of those bottles never being recycled… that’s a lot of plastic that’s going to just end up in landfills, streams, creeks, and the ocean. I’m not trying to sound like some crazy tree hugger, but that’s a pretty alarming number. So what if each of us, made at least ONE simple, small change in 2018 to reduce the amount of plastic we are using and consuming? What if there was a company that was out there that could help you along the way? My guest this week is Lindsay McCoy, founder of Plaine Products, a clean and zero waste bath and body company!

Sam Gold from Gold HR, has a refreshing approach to HR, and the importance for Business owners to get the best from the most precious asset - their staff. WHAT WE DISCUSS How to build a relationship with a new team How to build an open relationship where mistakes are openly shared and learnt form, rather than penalized How to manage a friendship after one of you has been promoted How to turn the tide when your team has turned against you How to maintain a good relationship with a team member while giving negative feedback How to bring your team with you when you move your business forward   ABOUT SAM Sam founded GoldHR in 2012. Her aim was to provide companies without their own internal HR expertise with no nonsense, business focused, expert HR advice in a truly flexible manner.  For most small businesses to employ a full time HR Manager or Director would be a complete luxury, and historically the only feasible option for businesses would be to engage with a solicitor or get tied into a contract with a call centre style advice line.   Sam felt that these businesses were missing out on having the value of an HR professional in their business, to not only advise on the ‘nitty gritty’ HR, such as disciplinaries and redundancies - but to be there as a listening ear to those sometimes tricky staffing situations.   Sam holds a Post Graduate Diploma and MSc in Human Resources Management, is a fully qualified Chartered Member of the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) and an Accredited Workplace Mediator.  She has worked in a variety of different businesses from a rapidly expanding start-up, to a senior HR Business partner at an large utilities provider.   Prior to setting up GoldHR, Sam was a consultant providing HR support to small and medium sized businesses in the London and South East region.  Sam is passionate about helping business owners, knowing first-hand the difficulties that employing staff can encounter, but also how amazing business can be when the people part is right.   Sam says "I set up GoldHR as I felt businesses were missing out on the value that HR can bring.  I have seen first-hand what can happen when the people part of a business goes wrong - this doesn‘t mean just a messy tribunal claim, but when the wrong people are employed, or when the structure of a business isn’t right - things start to fall apart.  We are currently a small, but perfectly formed team of HR professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds.  We all share in the belief that HR shouldn’t be bureaucratic, tick box function that restricts business growth. HR should be at the heart of every business, proactively working alongside business owners to make things happen."   CONTACT DETAILS / LINKS To find out how we can help you and your business visit our website at www.goldhr.co.uk or send me a connection request and let’s start a conversation.  Email: sam@goldhr.co.uk Website: Click here Phone: 07955 588922 Social Media Links: Facebook details - Click Here Twitter details - @SamGoldHR LinkedIn details - Click Here   If you have enjoyed this show then please leave a review.  How to leave an iTunes rating or review for a podcast from your iPhone or iPad Launch Apple's Podcast app. Tap the Search tab.

For years, I hated my body. I’d look in the mirror and I’d notice every flaw. Every roll, every stretch mark, every bit of cellulite… I’d say, “I can’t run” or “I’m not strong” or “I have no upper body strength” or “I’m so out of shape.” I never thought I’d ever enjoy working out. I told myself I’m never going to be one of “those” fitness people. At the end of 2016, I was in a very low place mentally. I was coming off of suffering from pretty severe postpartum depression, I felt terrible, and I needed to make a change. At the beginning of 2017, I made the decision to not let myself come up with excuses any longer. The key here was… I made the decision. I said no more. I’d heard of this place called Burn Boot Camp, so in March, I said enough is enough and I signed up to try this thing called “Burn” out. And if you follow me on social media or read my blog, you know that my life has been forever changed by that decision. A friend of mine from Burn said this and I could not agree more: It’s probably the fourth best decision I’ve ever made… after following Jesus, marrying my husband, having my kids, comes joining Burn Boot Camp. It’s not just a great workout, Burn Boot Camp is so much more than that. It’s difficult to put into words, but today, we’re going to try. My guests on the podcast this week are Devan and Morgan Kline, the founders of Burn Boot Camp. Their incredible story of how Burn Boot Camp came to be will absolutely blow you away. From having their first class in a parking lot to having over 300 awarded locations nationwide… You are going to love this conversation.  ABOUT DEVAN AND MORGAN: October 15, 1987 is when our Founder, Devan Kline, was brought into this world. Devan was brought up in Battle Creek, Michigan in a low-end neighborhood. Devan’s mother and father were both victims of each other's domestic violence and would often trickle down to Devan and his siblings. Throughout his career with the SF Giants organization and at Central Mich. Uni. Devan developed this passion for fitness. Devan and Morgan have appeared on television and magazines hundreds of times in dozens of different markets setting the example for the future trainers that would partner with their brand. Their mission is to influence women to put themselves first and lead them to adopt a lifestyle that breeds confidence, creates REAL change, and ultimately changes the way their family lives their lives. They now have over 100 locations open and over 300 awarded since becoming a franchise just over 28 months ago.  Morgan Kline, Co-Founder & CFO of the Burn Boot Camp Franchise, grew up in Battle Creek, MI and graduated from Western Michigan University with a BSBA and focus on Food Marketing. While growing up Morgan was raised believing that in order to be successful you had to climb the corporate ladder. Therefore, Morgan worked for the Kellogg Company right out of college and gained a lot of great experiences but quickly learned that her passion was not in that industry, but that helping others reach their health and fitness goals was where she belonged! In 2013 Morgan joined forces with her husband Devan and together built one of the nation’s best fitness programs! Burn Boot Camp has not only given Morgan the platform to share her passion for healthy living but has also given her the confidence to achieve what she ever thought was possible for herself. As a mother to a beautiful daughter Cameron and son on the way, Morgan can relate to a lot of women and moms’ out there that often put themselves last in order to make sure everyone around them is taken care of. Having a place like Burn Boot Camp allows women to feel confident, empowered, motivated, and stronger than ever!  CONNECT WITH DEVAN KLINE, MORGAN KLINE, & BURN BOOT CAMP: https://burnbootcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/BurnBootCamp https://www.facebook.com/burnbootcampsouthdurham/ (the Facebook page for my location!) https://www.instagram.com/burnbootcamp/ https://twitter.com/BurnBootcamp https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHUhA3C3vgTnyXHtAfsivgw https://www.instagram.com/devan.kline/ https://www.instagram.com/morgan.a.kline/ Join my Purchase with Purpose Facebook group and let's continue the conversation! https://www.facebook.com/groups/purchasewithpurpose/ Subscribe to the Business with Purpose podcast (and I'd love it if you left a review** on iTunes!)

Wendy talks about her marriage, what went wrong and her regrets, which has led her to help others resolve the issues in their relationships, work through the problems before they are beyond repair. Many problems arise in relationships because couples neglect their relationships, and fail to communicate with each other. Wendy has many years experience, and in her words ' she's got the T-shirt' not only has she invested time and effort in training and research, but she draws upon her own experiences, in order to help others through those difficult times in their relationships. We tend to live in a throw away society- rather than trying to work through our issues. No relationship is a bed of roses. Life has a habit of throwing us some curved balls, so its a case of working through the difficult times together, having each other's backs.         If you have enjoyed this show then please leave a review.  How to leave an iTunes rating or review for a podcast from your iPhone or iPad Launch Apple's Podcast app. Tap the Search tab.

People like to ask me when and how I got started talking about ethical and sustainable fashion. It’s definitely been a process for me over the years and I don’t claim to know it all or be perfect by any means. When I really started learning about the ins and outs of the fashion industry and how harmful it is and how WE are just contributing to it... I knew I had to do something. I knew I had to do my part. Because, believe it or not, one person can make a difference. The ripple effect we all have on each other can make an impact.  My guest this week is April Auger Perrin, the founder of All Awear, a website dedicated to connecting consumers with the ethical fashion industry! You know this is a topic that I love and I can talk about for hours on end. This was a great chat and I know you’ll love it!

I love being a mom. It’s one of the most difficult and rewarding and all the things jobs I’ve ever had in my life. I’m simultaneously a nurse, a cook, a cleaner, a bedtime singer, a teacher, a caregiver, an errand runner, a boo boo kisser, you know… basically every job on earth rolled into one. But if I’m honest, sometimes being a mom is a really lonely job. I so badly want to connect with other moms, but it can feel like other moms are just going to judge me. Those “mommy wars” are real and hard and I don’t understand why they exist, but they do. Having a supportive community to just CONNECT with other moms is so needed and important and vital. We cannot and SHOULD NOT do life alone.  My guest this week is Sara Moore, the founder of Project Mother, a collaborative enterprise of moms striving to encourage and support one another while ALSO fostering ethical commerce. This is a RICH conversation guys. Ohhhhh, our conversation was so amazing and I there were times when I laughed and cried and felt so many emotions. You are going to love it.

  Why its important to pay attention to your relationship. Too often couples leave it until its too late. They ignore the warning signs, hoping they will just go away.

I can pretty much guarantee that any business owner will tell you that running a business is hard. Unless you went to business school, there are so many details and unique facets about running a business that it’s honestly kind of hard to be prepared for. And many business owners are really just creatives and when they get to the nuts and bolts part of business, it can be overwhelming! But, one of the best characteristics of a good business owner is understanding when and HOW to get help. It’s important to realize what your strengths are and what your weaknesses are… and it’s important to reach out and say, “I can’t do all of this alone.” Maybe sometimes that means hiring someone to help you or bringing on a business partner who understands the other side of things, or maybe that’s even learning from someone else.  My guest this week is Jacquie Moesel, the founder of Moesel clothing - an ethical kid’s clothing line. But, why I had Jacquie on the show this week is to talk about the apprenticeship she did this year through Purse and Clutch. This was a really unique and fun conversation and I loved learning from her! I know you will, too! About Jacquie: Jacquie Moesel is the Co-founder and Creative Director of Moesel, a children’s clothing line designed by Jacquie in Austin, Texas and produced by a small batch manufacturer and women’s collective in Lima, Peru.  Drawing on her lifetime of love for fashion and a professional career in social services and policy work, Jacquie and her good, good friend of 18 years, Franklin Gutierrez, started Moesel with the goal to provide high quality and stylish clothing for kids through a model that would help support production and economic opportunity for skilled artisans in Peru.  Through close collaboration with the team in Lima, the first collection of Moesel launched in August 2017.

One of the reasons I spend so much time talking about fair trade goods and ethical fashion is not just because I think they’re nice products or pretty things or they’re unique - sure - those things are all well and good… but the fact of the matter is… I care about the people and the stories behind the products I buy. Fair trade is not about charity. It’s not about a hand out. It’s not about having pity on someone. Fair trade is about empowerment, giving someone opportunity and a sustainable income and way of living. It’s about treating people like HUMANS. It’s understanding that fathers and mothers around the world want the same things for their kids that we do… they want to provide for their families. They want to support themselves. Men and women in developing nations don’t want your charity. They want you to buy their stuff.  My guest this week is David Atlas the founder of Marquet Fair Trade - a fair trade brand working with artisan partners in Asia… I have shared this brand on my blog and social media before and I have absolutely fallen in love with their beautiful jewelry and accessories. But most of all, I’ve fallen in love with their mission! You are going to LOVE this conversation and hearing David’s crazy story as to how Marquet got started! About David:  David Atlas graduated cum laude from the Rutgers University School of Engineering in 2004 before embarking on a backpacking, trekking and motorbike trip through Australia, New Zealand, and South East Asia.  It was here on this trip David first experienced the incredibly welcoming culture of rural South East Asia life and the breathtaking natural beauty of the region.  After a few years working as an engineer and math tutor in NY, David was determined to return to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia to start a sustainable business that would also empower artisans in rural areas with access to the global market.  For David, the best part of running Marquet, is when he gets to spend time on the ground in Asia, working on product development with artisans, and he gets to hear their laughter and see their smiles.  Happiness is contagious!

A common question I hear these days is, “How do I turn my PASSION into a career?” There’s a lot of talk about PASSION. Everyone has a passion. We all have passions. But is it POSSIBLE to turn that passion into a full time income? Is it possible to not spend every day going through the motions, but to wake up every day looking FORWARD to getting to work? Can we do work that both fuels our passion while also making a profit? Yes, I truly believe the answer is YES. My guest this week is Marisa Flacks, the founder of RISE Creative. Marisa has actually become a dear friend of mine over the past 7 months or so, and I have come to really love and admire her.

A baby sleep coach, Tracy Newberry  talks about - Why she only works with babies between 6-11 months old and reasoning behind it What most of her clients just not know, or even what they don't always consider very much when it comes to sleep and helping their babies sleep well  How she knows she is going to get the results a family are looking for And how her 1:1 consultations work and the kind support she offers Why she is so specific about the importance of parents knowing what 'typical' baby sleep is Tracy ends by sharing her 3 top tips which, if applied might make a difference to their baby's sleep starting today and tonight   Working with babies 6-11 months, Tracy specialises in helping parents whose little ones frequently wake during the night, don’t nap well or don’t nap at all. Parents who are exhausted, feel overwhelmed and would like a gentle easy to follow structure to their day will benefit from the Nurture Method™. Importantly she helps parents solve their little one’s sleep issues without using any of the ‘Cry It Out’ methods which significantly reduces stress and protects the bond you’ve worked so hard to build.   Tracy Newberry is a qualified baby sleep coach and a mother herself, who over the last 13 years of working with young children has founded her own method called the Nurture method. She strongly believes sleep should be taught with love, kindness and the utmost respect. After working for ten years as a nanny and briefly as a nursery school teacher both in London and in South Africa (where she originates from); Tracy became aware that helping babies sleep without using any form of crying was a gift and that not everyone could do what she did. Once she made this realisation, Tracy decided to pursue her passion of teaching sleep gently and opened Happy Baby And Me in 2014; her business is mainly based on word of mouth and continues to moves from strength to strength.  Linkedin Facebook,   Website   Instagram TracyNewberry  Twitter @tracynewberry   If you have enjoyed this show then please leave a review.

To many people, a dress symbolizes things like fragility, weakness, inequality, outdated dress code rules, societal pressures, gender roles… There was a time when a woman would be literally scoffed at for wearing anything OTHER than a dress. And for centuries, women have fought to press on and buck trends and fight stereotypes, and obviously a woman wearing pants or wearing shorts isn’t thought of as anything crazy or remarkable today… but could a woman wearing a dress actually change the world? Could the “dress” be reclaimed into a symbol of power and freedom and purpose? We think so…  My guest this week is Blythe Hill, the founder of DRESSEMBER, an international movement of women and men who are raising money to fight to end human trafficking. I wanted to hear Blythe’s story and learn about how she got this incredibly amazing movement started and I LOVED our conversation! I am actually participating in Dressember this year and I am pledging to wear a dress every day during the month of December… Yes, even if it is freezing out. I would be so honored and grateful if you’d consider donating to my Dressember fundraiser! My goal is $6,300 and that would fund the rescue operation of one woman, man, or child who is trapped in the bondage of modern day slavery. Your donation is 100% tax deductible and you can donate HERE. I hope you love this episode as much as I do! ABOUT BLYTHE:  Blythe Hill is the CEO and Founder of the Dressember Foundation, an anti-trafficking nonprofit organization that engages women and men in the fight to end modern-day slavery. Through their annual campaign, thousands of people across six continents commit to wearing dresses or bow ties for the month of December as a way to bring awareness and raise funding for anti-trafficking work. In four years, Dressember advocates have raised over $3MM USD. Originally hailing from Seattle, Blythe now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their puppy, Friday. She loves a good red wine, a good cheese, and a good pun.  CONNECT WITH BLYTHE AND DRESSEMBER: https://dressember.org http://www.facebook.com/officialdressember http://instagram.com/dressember https://twitter.com/Dressember https://www.pinterest.com/dressember/ https://www.instagram.com/blythehill/ TODAY'S BUSINESS WITH PURPOSE PODCAST EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: CAUSEBOX - use code "MOLLY" for $15 off your first box!

We can all agree to two truths.... Life is beautiful and life is also tough. We all spend time trying to figure out what our purpose is or what we are supposed to do or what job we were meant for. We work hard, we do our best... and then life happens. Maybe it’s a broken relationship, a financial crisis, a death of a loved one, a divorce, or getting fired from a job... and we get into this mindset that life is awful and all these bad things are happening TO us... but have you ever thought that maybe these things are happening FOR us?  My guest this week is Shaniqua Cousins...

There are two types of people… people who say and people who do. I’ve spent a good portion of my life trying to be someone who does… not just someone who says. Let’s be honest, this isn’t always easy. When we see a problem in the world, it can be really easy to say, “gosh, someone should really do something about that.” It’s a whole lot more difficult to actually be the one to say, “Maybe that someone is me…” Is there something in your life or in your world that is heavy on your heart? Is there an issue you’re passionate about? A calling you feel on your life? Have you been talking about doing something for a long time but you haven’t actually taken the steps to DO it? Maybe today’s the day you take that first step to, well… actually do it.  My guest this week is Lia Valerio, the founder of MALIA DESIGNS, a fair trade handbag and accessory brand that is employing disadvantaged people in Cambodia and also directly impacting the anti-human trafficking movement. I love Lia and I love this company and I can’t wait for you to hear her story…  About Lia Valerio:  Lia Valerio is the Founder and President of Malia Designs, a socially responsible fair trade brand that designs and sells handbags and accessories.  Malia’s products are handcrafted in Cambodia and every purchase helps to fight Human Trafficking. While traveling through SE Asia, after serving in the Peace Corps in the South Pacific, Lia fell in love with the kind and generous people of Cambodia and its rich and beautiful culture. During her initial trip to the region in 2000, she purchased many textiles and was also introduced to several fair trade organizations that worked with marginalized populations to expand their access to sustainable income. In 2005, Malia Designs was formed to increase economic opportunity for women in Cambodia and to support organizations that fight Human Trafficking. Lia continues to be inspired by the artisans she works with and deeply appreciative of the opportunity to make a positive impact through Malia. Lia lives in Evanston, IL (just outside of Chicago) and is happily married and the mother of two beautiful children.  Connect with Malia Designs: http://www.maliadesigns.com/ - use code "MOLLY25" for 25% off your order! https://www.facebook.com/carrythecause https://twitter.com/maliadesigns https://www.pinterest.com/maliadesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/maliadesignsfairtrade/ TODAY'S BUSINESS PODCAST EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: CAUSEBOX - use code "MOLLY" for $15 off your first box!

I think every business owner at some point has thought to themselves, “Am I an entrepreneur, or am I just unemployed?”  My guest this week is Jen Lewis, the founder of Purse and Clutch! Jen is so hilarious and we had the BEST conversation. She shared some of her real struggles when it came to starting an ethical fashion business and what those early days looked like for her - but she also shared why working in this space matters and why she is passionate about it and lifting up OTHER ethical business owners… I know you are going to LOVE Jen… Enjoy this week's episode! About Jen (from Jen): As far back as I can remember, I've wanted to spend my time focusing on long-term, sustainable solutions for men & women living in poverty in developing countries with limited opportunities. I am drawn to the beauty of international cultures & want to help in the fight against the systems that keep people in poverty generation after generation. From summers spent in Mexico & Bolivia to longer stints in Guatemala & Honduras, I've seen the need for sustainable job opportunities first hand.  Purse and Clutch was started to connect talented artisans with a market here in the States. I was amazed to learn about how these jobs were transforming the lives of the men & women making the handbags & realized since I was based in the States I could help facilitate that connection to help grow their organization's reach. We have the privilege of working directly with artisan groups in Ethiopia & in Guatemala, designing beautiful textiles & styles that are meant to stand the test of time.  Connect with Jen and Purse and Clutch: https://www.purseandclutch.com/ https://www.facebook.com/purseandclutch https://twitter.com/purseandclutch https://www.pinterest.com/purseandclutch/ https://www.instagram.com/purseandclutch/ TODAY'S BUSINESS PODCAST EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Sevenly - use code MOLLY10 for 10% off your purchase during the month of November.

There are people that come into our lives and completely change us. Maybe it’s a teacher or a coach who really believe in us and encourage us in ways others haven’t. Or maybe it’s a friendship… a friendship that starts under unusual circumstances or in a place you’d least expect… but that friend becomes someone who changes your life. That friend teaches you something about the world around you and teaches you something about yourself. That friend challenges you to do something radical… not in like that “party hard” way… but like, the world-changing, community building, life-altering way. Maybe it’s just that friend you can have real conversations with - that you can speak life and truth to… Can you think of that friend? Now, what if that friend didn’t even speak your native language?  My guest this week is Amy Blair, the founder of Batik Boutique! After moving to Malaysia in 2007, Amy befriended a single mother who helped to teach Amy the language and through their friendship, conversations, and the opening of doors, Amy began Batik Boutique… a business with a vision to provide sustainable income opportunities for women and artisans in Malaysia. I loved my conversation with Amy and I know you will too! Enjoy this episode! Amy: Amy Blair is the Founder and CEO of Batik Boutique, an award winning social enterprise based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Amy has lived in Malaysia for 10 years with her husband and now 3 kids. Amy started Batik Boutique as a response to a gap in the local tourism market and the story of trying to help a local friend who was a single mother trying to make ends meet, and who happened to own a sewing machine. Batik Boutique uses hand-dyed Malaysian textiles to impact the community by: Producing Hand-dyed Textiles: Incorporating textiles hand-dyed by local artisans Empowering Artisans: Training women in life and job skills that lead to income generation Benefitting the Community: Contributing to the practical needs of those around them and giving a portion of proceeds directly to artisan needs To date, there are over 150 artisans including batik producers and seamstresses trained. Amy saw the struggle of women, especially mothers, who did not have sustainable work opportunities, and she started a sewing training centre located in government subsidized housing to offer employment women in marginalized communities.  Amy leads her Batik Boutique team in corporate projects with companies like Volvo, BP, and Starbucks Malaysia supping customized corporate gifts. She worked to establish an international partnership with a US fashion label, establishing Batik Boutique the Malaysian artisan group. She was selected as “Top 50 Expatriates You Should Know” by the Expatriate Lifestyle magazine and was selected as Texas A&M University’s “Top 12 Under 12” Alumni for her contribution to empowering artisans globally.  Her life motto is: “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” ~John Wesley, Theologian You can purchase Batik Boutique products online and all products are available for shipping directly from the US.

Wendy explores what happens when ignore the warning signs of neglect in your relationship. So many people ignore the warning signs that things aren’t going that well in their relationship. They either get so wrapped up in their career, their children, pastimes, other friends they don’t realise they are neglecting their partner,  their relationship. They drift apart, until they become disconnected and find they have nothing in common and its too late. Finally  they are surprised when their partner wants out. Ask yourself your main focus in life, your relationship or something else? What is the reason for working?  Are you focussing too much on your pastime or hobby? Why are you focussed so much on your children and ignoring your partner?  If you put your partner second you will have a second rate relationship. Or even worse - their partner isn't there any more. About me       As a Relationship Specialist I work with couples to help them get over those bumps in the road that happen from time to time in all relationships, and can cause conflict and marriage to breakdown.   If you have enjoyed this show then please leave a review.    How to leave an iTunes rating or review for a podcast from your iPhone or iPad Launch Apple's Podcast app. Tap the Search tab.

"If we can't be FOR each other, then we are not confident in who WE are and all we are confident in is questioning our success." -Jamie Ivey. To say I was honored to interview Jamie Ivey for this week's episode of the Business with Purpose podcast is an understatement. I have listened to Jamie's podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey for years. The way that she is able to connect with her guests and really minister to her listeners is such a gift. She has used her platform of podcasting, blogging, and social media to inspire hundreds of thousands of people. The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey consistently ranks as one of the top 20 podcasts in the spirituality and religion category and was even nominated for a Podcasters Association award this year. Jamie and I talked about everything from her brief career in radio (and how she won an American-Idol-like casting call to land the job), to why being vulnerable and transparent with each other and others only makes us stronger, and how we, as women, should be FOR each other, cheering each other on, lifting one another up, encouraging each other, and celebrating each other's successes. We also talked about how there was a point in time when her career was thriving, but her family was suffering, and how she made the hard decision at the time to step away from a thriving career... but how God had a bigger and better plan for her life. You are going to be so encouraged and blessed by my conversation with Jamie! Be sure to leave her some love and let her know how this episode impacted you!

Imagine a situation in which you are literally in the middle of the Gobi desert (AKA: the middle-of-nowhere OF the middle-of-nowhere) and you are carrying two million dollars in cold hard cash. Seems crazy, right? Not too crazy for Matt Scanlan and his business partner Diederik. To be honest, Matt's story of how he ended up in Mongolia, stuck in the middle of the Gobi desert with a group of strangers (who didn't speak English) for a MONTH, getting to know them, learning their lifestyle, and ultimately, how he ended up starting the fairest, most sustainable Mongolian cashmere clothing company in the WORLD, is probably one of the craziest and coolest stories I've ever heard in my life.  He's an AMAZING story teller, his Mongolian cashmere company is so cool, but most of all, I love his vision for impacting nomadic herders in Mongolia while also disrupting the entire cashmere industry in a positive way. I don't want to ruin it for you, but trust me... you are going to want to listen to this episode of the Business with Purpose podcast. I think my mouth was dropped almost the entire time I was talking with Matt! ABOUT Matt Scanlan, CEO and Co-Founder of Naadam  With a background in venture capital, Matt Scanlan co-founded Naadam with his business partner Diederik Rijsemus by traveling into Mongolia’s Gobi Desert and purchasing 40 tons of Mongolian cashmere with $3M cash packed in plastic bags. They realized that by partnering directly with Mongolia’s herdering communities Naadam could secure the world's finest materials at a fair price, and pass that savings to their customers, avoiding the astronomical mark-ups that are commonplace in the cashmere industry. The end result was a supply chain that constantly reinvested in itself.

How we feel when we don't feel that others are really listening to us, and the steps we can take to feel really heard. How others become distracted Multi-tasking just doesn't work When you feel you are not receiving someone's full attention and how you end up feeling unimportant or not valued Effective listening includes your whole body not just your ears The importance of explaining how you feel and asking for what you want from the other person - and that's  not always a solution Asking for help if you need it. Allowing the other person to make up their own mind and being respectful and accepting their decision.   If you have enjoyed this episode why not subscribe, and I would love you to leave a review!  Itunes link - CLICK HERE How to leave an iTunes rating or review for a podcast from your iPhone or iPad Launch Apple's Podcast app. Tap the Search tab.

Picture this: I am a year out of college and I'm having a full-blown panic attack on the floor of my room because I suddenly realize that I'm $36,000 in consumer credit card debt. I realized the gravity of the financial mistakes I'd made and I was embarrassed, ashamed, and I had no idea what to do. Over the next few years, I had to work hard (so hard) to get myself out of the financial mess I'd gotten myself into... and today, I'm thankful that my husband and I remain debt free and we are diligent to be good stewards of our finances. Bola Sokunbi, the founder and creator of Clever Girl Finance, has made it her mission to empower women to be in control of their finances. Growing up in Nigeria, she saw how many women were completely unaware of the family finances... her father and mother taught her important lessons on saving, giving, and spending and she has since taken those lessons and created a business to help others. She even saved $100,000 in CASH her first three years out of college. I loved my conversation with Bola and I know you are going to be BLOWN away by her story. Bola also has a podcast and I was a guest on that podcast just last week! You can hear more of my financial testimony by listening here... ABOUT BOLA: Bola is a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI), finance expert, writer, business strategist, social media influencer and founder of Clever Girl Finance, a platform that empowers and educates women to make the best financial decisions for their current and future selves and to pursue their dreams of financial independence in order to live life on their own terms.

It's been reported that there are nearly 40 million slaves in the world today. There are more slaves today than during the entire 400 years of the trans-atlantic slave trade. When we say the word "slaves" we are talking about men, women, and children who are caught up in the horrors of human trafficking. It's a harsh reality. And it can feel overwhelming when we read / hear / see the facts and figures.  And while it might seem crazy... something CAN be done about it.  Wendy Dailey and Michelle Bridgeman of International Sanctuary and PURPOSE Jewelry are my guests this week and they are doing whatever they can to impact the lives of women affected by human trafficking all over the world. This episode is powerful and gives us HOPE that when we take action, change really can happen.  ABOUT WENDY DAILEY - CO-FOUNDER: Originally a Northern California native, Wendy grew up with an appreciation for culture. Her love for diverse cultures and passion for justice leads her desire to grow the organization to a global level. Though she never thought she would dabble in business, since her background is in education, Wendy thoroughly appreciates the opportunities International Sanctuary has given her. Wendy's crusade to see survivors of all nations given the opportunities to successfully progress into their future is what motivates and helps her build the organization on a daily basis.  ABOUT MICHELLE BRIDGEMAN - HEAD OF DISTRIBUTION After graduating from Cal State Long Beach, Michelle started working in marketing for a travel company.  Her surroundings helped to ignite her passion to see the rest of the world. Soon after she decided to take a year off to join a missions trip called The World Race to 11 different countries! Michelle first heard about iSanctuary while in India on a human trafficking awareness trip throughout Southeast Asia. After becoming aware of the immense injustice, she felt compelled to somehow get involved. She discovered iSanctuary had an office in Orange County and started volunteering as the Social Media Coordinator. This led to being hired on full time!

What do you think of when you hear the term "fast fashion"? When I first heard it, I had zero clue what it meant. By definition, "the term “fast fashion” refers to a phenomenon in the fashion industry whereby production processes are expedited in order to get new trends to the market as quickly and cheaply as possible. As a result of this trend, the tradition of introducing new fashion lines on a seasonal basis is being challenged. Today, it is not uncommon for fast-fashion retailers to introduce new products multiple times in a single week." (source) The thing is, retailers want to create a "demand" and consumers want to buy things as quickly and cheaply as possible. However, this hurts not only the environment, but it hurts the people behind the products. Even if you don't "pay" for something by getting it super cheap, someone somewhere else does.  Saloni Shrestha is the founder and head designer for AGAATI, a luxury, high fashion, high quality, sustainable fashion brand. She's worked with major brands like Oscar De La Renta and Zac Posen... but she quickly learned there was a lot about the fashion industry she didn't love... so she set out to create something herself. AGAATI is an amazing brand creating beautiful clothing that is kind to the environment and the artisans who make it.

FACT. In the Los Angeles area alone, 10 metric tons of plastic fragments are carried into the Pacific Ocean every day. The average American throws away 185 pounds of plastic every year. It can take anywhere from 500-1,000 years for plastic to degrade. Instead of saying "Oh man, those statistics are staggering... someone should really do something about that...", Hamilton Perkins, the founder and president of Hamilton Perkins collection actually decided to DO something about that. They create amazing, stylish, and functional designer bags from recycled plastic bottles and repurposed billboard vinyl. Hamilton and I had the BEST conversation... (spoiler alert: my husband said this is his favorite episode to date... and that's saying something!!) You will definitely learn something and be inspired by our conversation!

"Duty is ours. Results are Gods." -John Quincy Adams That quote also happens to be the mantra for Jim Van Eerden, co-founder of Sevenly. Jim has been a serial entrepreneur for most of his life... he's worked in the entertainment industry as an executive producer on major films, he's worked in brand management working for major organizations like the Olympic national committee, the World Cup, and Pepsi. He has worked alongside media powerhouses like Mia Hamm and Serena Williams. And he co-founded Sevenly in 2011 with a desire to change the way consumers felt connected to the causes they cared about.  We also had an important conversation surrounding the controversy that Sevenly experienced a couple of years ago. They have since recovered and have done a great job of rebuilding the brand, but Jim very candidly discusses what happened and how they took an unconventional approach to repairing the damage. Jim is also a strong man of faith and a believer in family. He and his wife Rachel have 11 children, including a son they adopted from Ecuador who was, quite literally, found naked in a trash bag as an infant.  Jim's business savvy is strong, his faith runs deep, and he has a passion for business unlike any other person I have had the pleasure of meeting in my life. Jim's belief is that people are looking for an opportunity to standup and fight for the beautiful, the good, and the true. People are passionate about being, not barking. People want to do, not yell and fight.  This conversation is one that is going to inspire so many to take action. ABOUT JIM: Jim Van Eerden is a serial entrepreneur with a heart for serving others. He co-founded Sevenly in 2011, outfitting world changers in new “cause art” every week, benefitting multiple causes, all under the same mission, “because people matter.” Besides being an intelligent businessman, he is also the loving father of eleven children, and on the foundational teams of many other businesses, non-profits, and charities.  CONNECT WITH JIM AND SEVENLY: https://www.sevenly.org/ https://twitter.com/sevenly https://instagram.com/sevenly https://facebook.com/sevenly.org https://pinterest.com/sevenly Join my Purchase with Purpose Facebook group and let's continue the conversation! https://www.facebook.com/groups/purchasewithpurpose/ Subscribe to the podcast (and I'd love it if you left a review** on iTunes!)
