Podcast appearances and mentions of jasmine lawrence

To kick off 2023, Ben sits down with Jasmine Lawrence for a conversation that is sure to inspire you as you begin the new year. Jasmine shares what caused her to start EDEN BodyWorks when she was just a teenager. This led to her being a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the rest is history. Not only is she an entrepreneur who began making products in her teens; her day job is working with robots. Listen in to learn how Jasmine has cultivated great curiosity, as well as a “going for it” spirit that keeps fear from paralyzing her life. 

As the old adage goes, “necessity is the mother of invention/when there's a will there's a way.” This exact sentiment is what drove Jasmine Lawrence to launch EDEN BodyWorks back in 2004. After facing her first beauty challenge — a hair-damaging chemical burn — at age 11, Lawrence was shocked to learn about the lack of natural products that could help nurture and restore her hair. So, in true entrepreneurial fashion, she took to her kitchen and began concocting her own remedies. As a leader whose vision for helping others has no bounds, Lawrence also maintains a dual-career in the field of technology. Currently, she is a Product Manager on the Everyday Robot Project at X, the moonshot factory. The Everyday Robot project is building a new type of learning robot—one that can eventually learn to help everyone, every day. Prior to this, Lawrence held positions at Facebook on their Portal and Social Good teams and also at Microsoft on the company's HoloLens Experience and Xbox Engineering teams.
