Podcast appearances and mentions of lauren biegler

I have been thinking about an episode on the farm but had a hard time coming up with something new.  A friend reached out with some ideas and I knew you needed to meet my friends Nicole and Lauren.  Lauren is a farmer.  Nicole is not.  But the three of us found common ground between our lives on and off the farm in this episode.  For answers to questions that we missed, reach out to any of us on Instagram.

Sometimes the hurdles to sustainable practices come from people right in a farmer’s network: family, landowners, neighbors, seed dealers, and lenders. Bryan and Lauren Biegler, farmers in Minnesota, join Zach and Mitchell to discuss how they fought back the image of being “hippie farmers” as they started strip tilling and planting cover crops. Mollie Aronowitz, a land manager at the People’s Company in Iowa, and Randy Dell from the Nature Conservancy also offer helpful insights into landlord/farmer dynamics around conservation.

The TakeawaysRipplEffect is a marketing and production company that provides impact experiences which address various societal issuesRipplEffect offers hands-on volunteer opportunities to encourage people to take action on issues they find important, by becoming an active part of the community they choose to visitThe ripple effect. We’ve all heard of it. The small drop of water in the still pond; the continuous spreading of an action or idea that gathers momentum with each new liquid ring of consciousness. This is how every movement grows, how every idea becomes widespread, how we band together with our brothers and sisters to make an impact and demand change.As the ripples wander farther apart, we are brought closer together.This week’s podcast episode spotlights Lauren Biegler, the founder of RipplEffect, a marketing and production company that creates social impact experiences to spread awareness about social issues and encourages people to take action. While working in a business and development sales role for another company, she had an undeniable sense of unfulfillment in her work. Lauren decided to take action rather than continue to feel like she wasn’t accomplishing anything. And voila, RipplEffect was born.RipplEffect’s overarching goal is to inspire people, through hands-on volunteering experiences, to take responsibility for issues they care deeply about, to help create change on both a local and global scale. Lauren feels most alive when she’s volunteering or involved with charity work, and I have an overwhelming amount of respect for her for choosing to follow her heart and start an impactful, giving, world-changing business, rather than staying in a role she found unfulfilling.“You must show up, learn, and take action in your own life to see the changes you want in our world. We are here to help you make that possible.”I hope you have some time to listen to this podcast, as you may find yourself wanting to be involved in the uplifting work they’re doing.

Feel free to leave us a comment or a review, we’d love to hear from you!Lauren Biegler grew up surrounded by the breathtaking natural world of Colorado, blessed by unlimited access to the mountains and outdoor recreation. She moved to Boston for university, receiving a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and Marketing. She then worked for five years at Mashable, a high-growth tech start-up company, in a business and development sales role. After deciding she wanted more purpose in her career, she left Mashable and co-founded We Journey, which is an impact travel company that provides travel experiences to international and domestic destinations. We Journey was incredibly successful, but she saw another opportunity to have a bigger impact in sustainability, and two years later she created RipplEffect. This provided the same services as We Journey, but gave people more support and accessibility. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Lauren Biegler is a social entrepreneur and the cofounder of Journey, an impact travel company that encourages people to actively and positively engage with the communities they travel to. We are grateful to have learned more about her journey from Mashable to Journey, going from a desk job to an adventure-based career.

It's hard to understand why you can feeling so unhappy, when on paper, it looks like you have it all going for you. A successful career by 25 that many people work years to create. A long term relationship. Living in one of the most coveted cities in the world. But for some reason, you still feel empty. That's how Lauren Biegler felt, before her life took a complete 180. She was always an overachiever and she enjoyed her job- let's set that straight. But it wasn't fulfilling anymore. So instead of continuing on that path, she left the cushy life and set out to live the nomadic startup experience with a company she's now a co-founder of, called We Journey. We Journey creates impactful travel experiences for international and domestic destinations. Their projects range from building homes and skate parks, to renovating schools and working with women's collectives. It's about adventure. Doing good. And giving back. Lauren and I cover a lot of topics; but there's a strong focus around finding purposeful work. How to create balance with instability. Building startups and the culture that follows. And the direction she wants to take We Journey. You don't want to miss it!!
